Idiot...

Maybe not....

If Dave was pissed at that moment (which is possible, but hard to tell from a crappy You Tube clip), Eddie might have been fucking with him a little as he walked by on stage. You'll notice he made a noise with the guitar that sounded a little bit like a cat

Maybe it was deliberate?

[ELVIS]

Dream on my friend...

I just can't get myself to believe Ed's 100% sober...

It would show in his playing, and it does...

And what it shows is someone not on top of their game...

I can barely tune a guitar drunk and i've played that way in front of people more than I would like to say...

But...

I dunno...

Dave is giving 110% and I wish Edward would take a sober look at that and get in the game...

At times it seems he might be trying but he's not 100%

No way...

Just scored me some Feb 8 tix for New Orleans...

wow, dave looks pissed that Wolfie put that hat on him, did you see how he took it off quickly and just threw it in the audience?

Ive seen dave wear hats b4 so I dunno it was the hat or the kid that pissed Dave off. But I did notice that Dave pulled the mic away from wolfie like "fuck you kid. you're on yer own". Dave's voice was clearly shot for the chorus. like I said, this shouldn't be the vid that blankets the tour, just an off night... Wolf fucked up, Dave got pissed & fucked up, and Ed seen Dave get pissed and fucked up on guitar.... Even the crowd got silent. watch it a few times. Like a car crash. cant look away.

so first Dave just walks offstage at the end of the show In Portland, now Seattle he looks pissed at Wolfie, i hope they make it through the whole tour, i would hate for Hagar and Anthony to have the last laugh

Everybody want the tour night to be the best night in thier home-town .

Everybody was the live act to sound radio matched.

Everybody wants the 40 dates of singing so-far, a twenty five year olds vocalizations to sound perfectly today.

You may not realize the big six is hard work for the front man.

All of the band is doing the throw-down of the endless energy level of thirty years ago.

Kinda like if you went back to highschool and tried to run the 440 agian with hurdles.

Just re-analize the work involved and then think about the days you threw you Red Swingline out the window.

At least we know it's live .

Thanks for the surprisingly positive (coming from you, that is...) review, Elvis.

A good review from Elvis is like getting the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval.

....and the concert was great, even without Hot Sauce at the Bass!!! Right, Elvis?

[ELVIS]

Yeah, it was...

But Mr. Anthony is surely missed and it would be quite a bit better with him there...

But i'm a reasonable guy and i'll take what I can get...

[conmee]

Not to turn this into a gay-non-gay love fest, but I'll continue to agree with Elvis (tho' not so hard on Edward) that this is as damn close to perfection as we'll see until Sauce tows the company line and stops sucking Hagar's teabag... Mike was missed on a psychological level as much as anything... sure we'd all feel more confident and excited if he were playing the bass lines and singing the backing vox, but I guarantee that ANYONE who goes will enjoy themselves and leave the arena feeling like they just say VAN HALEN... which is different from leaving a Van Hagar concert where you feel dirty greasy slimy afterward (hence I only saw Van Hagar once in 1988 at the Monsters of Rock, and thankfully, Dokken, Kingdom Come, Metallica, and The Scorpions, made it seem less wrong to see Van Hagar at that time).

Viva Van Halen!


That is all.

[ELVIS]

Yep...

I saw Van hagar twice and even though they were "good" the second time when Edward really was sober, I still remember leaving the Super Dome with a feeling of guilt...

Dave did a roundhouse? (third pic) I thought he wasnt doing those this tour?


Boy does Wolfie look out of place.....

That's not a roundhouse, it's a toe touch. Dave looks like he's gonna drop dead from doing it.

He lost a lot of flexibility the last few years. I remember pics from 2004 where it looked like the kicks of 1984.

I wonder what happened in the past 3 years?

That clip with the hat thing wasn't from the Seattle show, it was from Chicago, earlier in the tour.

In Seattle, they all appeared to be having a great time together.

The man is 53 fucking years old, and you want him to kick as high as he did when he was 25?

Can YOU do better? Hell, I wish I could.

He was in Vancouver. I saw things that night I had never seen him do. Damned impressive!
