fuck for the biggest complainer of the new Van Halen line up and tour, you dedicate a thread for YOU going to a show?
are you going to give an honest review of the show upon your return?"FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKIN' BITCH! WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE ANYWAYS? TALK TO ME LIKE THAT? FUCK YOU. DRAG QUEEN LOOKIN' WHORE- YOU AINT SHIT. YOUR THE FRECKLE TO THE LEFT OF MY BROWN EYE. NOW GO MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL...OH, PUT DAD ON THE PHONE"Comment

Actually, the correct term is DUPLICATING a thread....
A thread that's closing, keep it in the Seattle thread please....Eat Us And Smile - The Originals

Im also looking forward to this....
If webmasters can make fullblown frontpage reviews
of their experiences, surely the longest serving mods
can be afforded the same respect... Or at least their
own thread.
FORD and ELVIS's reviews are amongst the many
I'm really looking forward too.....
If we want to get technical, he has just told us he is there...
(and its halen related)
So theres no reviews to even dump into a single thread with
every, "I joined the army only two minutes ago yet deserve
respect, dudes"
ELVIS is an institution here, let him have
his say ! :D
MODs deserve some rights.
VA, I would insist on the same deal for you ! You are also
one totally respected old school poster that we all want to read,
not wasted in a sea of wagon jumpers...
Some of the old school mods have been here 8 years, let
them have their moment !!
Have a great Time Elvis and all the Roth Army posters
attending this gig !BABY PANA 2 IS Coming !! All across the land, let the love and beer flow !
Love ya Mary Frances!Comment

Ok ok ok...
Sorry I missed you guys...
I'm staying with my sister and her family, and I attended tonight's show with her and her awesome husband...
Like FORD said in another thread, the weather here has basically sucked, but it was a warm 60 degrees and (thankfully) not raining walking through beautiful Seattle Center to the Key Arena......
Ahyhoo...
We got there in good time and sat down for the last half of the opening act, Marley whoever, who was pretty darn good, especially his vocals...
They ended with a Bob Marley-perfect rendition of I Shot The Sheriff...cool...
Then came the Van Halen blimp and the faint smell of Seattle-only reefer...cool again...Man, I miss Seattle...
Soon after that, the lights went down and the crowd began to roar...
Yes, it was TIME!!!
From the first sound of Edward's dive bomb guitar and Alex's opening sonic bombardment to well into the fourth or fifth song I was in absolute Van Halen HEAVEN!!!

DAVID LEE ROTH is the MAN!
I was expecting a lot from Dave based on the thousand or so times i've folowed his every move on YouTube, but nothing prepared me for the smile he left on my face as he nailed quite a few screams higher than any I remember from the clips of previous shows...
Just the timbre of his voice was enough to make the experience chilling...Dave sounds so close to classic Van Halen, it's just unbelievable trying to take it all in...
Our hero was excellent! No way could Dave be any better... I'll go as fas as to say he was better than the show I saw in 1984, and I remember it well...
Dave IS and always will be the greatest frontman Rock 'N' Roll will ever know, period...

Edward?
Well...
The first few songs were just fine. Good guitar sound, good playing... Hell, he even played the Runnin' With The Devil solo quite well. A feat that seemed beyond his abilities earlier in the tour...
But he went downhill fast...
During the middle of the show he seemed more worried about straightening out his guitar cord than playing the songs...
Where's the damn roadies, or his guitar tech ?!? Probably off smoking some good Seattle pot...
I haven't been impressed with Ed's solo on any of the clips i've seen (except maybe one) and tonight was basically no exception aside from the fact that he played most of Spanish Fly towards the beginning... But after that he just played noises off the top of his head and noodled a bit until he got to Cathedral, which he still can't find on the fretboard, and after how many shows ??
This is the first time I left witnessing Edward Van Halen NOT inspired to pick up one of my guitars and jam...
He wasn't bad though...
Alex was AWESOME!
Great classic Van Halen drum sound, great solo, great playing throughout every song... But boy does he look old on the big screen...
But without Alex (and Dave of course) the songs would have hardly resembled classic Van Halen...
And Wolfie ??
Wolf was much better than I gave him credit in the past...
He really is singing and playing as far as I could tell, and his backup vocals are better than his bass playing, or at least his bass sound...
His sound is almost identical to Lemmy Killmister's grungy bass sound of Motorhead... More like a bassy distorted low end guitar as opposed to Michael Anthony's deep clean SVT sound that used to fill an arena...
Not bad, but not really fitting for Van Halen, especially with Edward still not 100% on his game...
All in all, thanks to Dave, it was awesome, and i'm glad I made the 2590 mile (driving distance, and yes, i've done it...:D) trip, and spent countless dollars to see it...

See 'ya in New Orleans February 8, 2008 !!!

Cheers!
