Greensboro Review

10,000 in a 22,000 venue is crap. No matter how much they try and color it. Lets put this in perspective, I live in Australia, we have a population of about 20 Million, if our local football game gets less than 20,000 turning up, its considered a failure. Now, the US, whats the population there ?? 150 Million ?? (Sorry that is a guess) and this is meant to be a huge reunion tour. A less than half filled venue on opening night is hard for even the staunchest hagarite to defend. Its
not looking good for Van Hagar at this point in time..

US population I think is about 280 million now if not more. Granted, you can't go by that, you have to go by how many people live in the Greensboro area. Doing a google search the population is about 223,000. That's just the city itself and not the surrounding areas either.

Here's one for you though: Los Angeles isn't sold out. Now HOW MANY people live in that area, besides LA proper? 7 million? And they can't sell out the Staples Center? Granted it's not until August but still?

What about the shows in East Rutherford, NJ? For all intensive purposes that's the New York metropolitan area, that venue is 6 miles from Manhattan. Now the New York metro area has got to be well over 10 million, and those shows aren't sold out.

Locally, the Philly metro area has 3 million, the "area" being the 5 most southeastern counties in PA, and neither of the shows at the Wachovia Center are sold out. BTW, Bruce Springsteen sold out 2 shows at Lincoln Financial Field last year (which seats 68,000) and did a 3rd that was very well attended. You'd think a "Van Halen reunion" should do well, wouldn't you? This tour is a FAILURE!!!!!!!!!

Wait why did you go?

Also not to mention about those Philly shows that 3 local radio stations are giving away tickets for these shows and one of them is doing so EVERY HOUR.

What's sad is that they didn't even play the better Van Hagar songs like A.F.U. and Judgment Day.

That is truly a crap setlist. Ending the show with "When It's Love"? Very, VERY lame.

So I wonder if those poor little bitches cried during the When It's Love encore just as kennyboy predicted a couple of months ago?

I agree.
"WIL" is a terrible song and to close out the show with it is pathetic.
I sure hope they change the set list around before next Saturday in MA.

Over and Out,

Wait you're from California and you're flying out to MA to see this?

I would not fly anywhere to see any band.
It was a total coincidence that I would be in MA visiting family when VH is playing.
I have tickets well..a ticket for MA and 3 tickets for the August 19th Staple canter show in Los Angeles.

Later,

....and about 10,000 in the audience....the way upper levels are covered with black tarp.

I find these snippets very disturbing

looks like the Roth/Hagar sold better than this is

"When It's Cheese" was the fucking final encore??

That's all I need to hear to know the show was a complete joke.

So much interest from the disinterested is disturbing me this morning... I think a few of you need to go buy tickets and attend so you don't have to live serendipitously through your hated Links buddies.

I just find it so ironic y'all bash so much but spend so much time on the subject matter... it really must matter that much to you. Think about it before you tell me to fuck off...

Just an observation... Flame away...

This site cracks me up. You guys/gals bitch, piss, and fucking moan more than a bunch of old ladies talking about their old decrepid husbands. All I can say is that I feel sorry for whoever the fuck lives in your houses because they have to put up with your sorry, whiney, sad, depressing ASSES all fucking day and night! If I were them...I would be looking for a bottle of pills to END IT!! LOL

Can you show us how the pill thing works? Please??

That's all their going to do is tell you to "Fuck off"....or...."Go back to the Links, cunt"......or......"Eat us and smile".......or......."BWHAHAHAHAHAHA".

They really aren't an intelligent bunch and have no semblence of rationality. You can't hold a conversation with this bunch. (They lack the intelligence.) They'll probably throw in some new swear words they learned from their kids and then show you some pics of feces or a tombstone with Van Hagar written on it. (Those are the bright ones.)

Yeah I'm disgusted, and yes you have to care in order to be disgusted.

What are we gonna talk about, please tell us. You have a Van Hagar joke reunion going on (which I know you're just fine with because hey, the band from day one was a trio plus a singer) and you think we're not going to care about it, and not going to be disgusted with it?
