If Van Halen...

[Halen High]

Sorry, Paul has a better voice than dave, dave always had a limited range so he overdid those yelpy-buttmoan-squeals. Saw KISS last week, great show, saw vh last year, just ok, even with dave trying way too hard, just ok, it was hard to watch dave be a former shadow of himself.

I like Paul's voice, but Dave's voice is so much more interesting.

And I saw plenty of the last VH tour on Youtube - Dave was brilliant. Don't understand why you would think he was a shadow of his former self?

To piggy back on what I was saying vheck out this find!!

Van Halen - The Early Days II (Disc 2) - JamToThis

[GAR]

I'd open the wallet pretty wide for that.

Just gimme the US Festival. I stood in line for 3 hours at Music Plus in San Gabriel and the sombitch sold out in 10 minutes.

Had I known you could just walk thru the gate like Woodstock I woulda gone.

I'd like to see what I missed. I have cash available for the US Festival, and then we'll talk about a Van Halen album with all 4 original vocalists..

[VanHalener]

I'm sure you'd open more than your wallet pretty wide for dave, 'mo.

~yawn~

I've been meaning to introduce myself since joining, and how fitting that my 1st post will be about kiss. NO, not because I like kiss but because of how MUCH I can't stand them and all the bullSHIT talk of how great they are, and that the shows are great and blah blah blah. I don't even consider them a band, it's a fucking circus with lousy sounds and noise that they think and call music.

I hope they all fuckin slip and fall on stage when they hit South Florida so my kiss fanatic bud can cry like a fuckin baby! He's one that bores me with this bullSHIT talk of Gene's demo and so called helping of VH. WTF, if anything Gene and kiss needed the help. No really, they did and still do. Unless you're like my kiss bud and the rest of the brainWASHED kiss freaks who drool and blabber about the show, yea only the show and it's smoke and mirrors to coverup those lousy sounds and noise I mentioned earlier.

And how can anyone actually prefer Paul over Diamond Dave? You must be really FUCKED up on something to say that bullSHIT!!! kiss SUCKS ASS!!! Right ON VAiN!

Nice first post, Holmes.
ha ha....Bell rings and you come out swinging. !POW! Take THAT, KISS! !BAM! Phuck you Gene! !SMASH! I'll cut you, Bitch !Swoosh!
LMMFAO

Everyone is entitled to their opinion... But Seriously

Well The Joshua Tree wasn't spectacular in revenue but we're talking about the 6pk here!! What every true VH Fan & others want to see!!
The early days to 84, the infamous full show of the 81 tour!!

Just about every major band has live shows documented from back then, best believe people would go crazy to see this band when the we On Fire!
Ridiculous amount of money would be made!!

Everyone is trolling tonight, it seems. :tongue0011:

For, like, say...

a 4 dvd set, including restored live footage from 1977-1984 (throw Largo 82 and the US Fest on, as well as whatever was shot on the WACF tour for that proposed and eventually abandoned movie...have a bonus disc of 1983 South American footage on there...shit, rumor is there were multiple 1984 dates pro shot by the band/WB). The great thing being that a good chunk of that stuff was shot on proper film, as opposed to videotape (am sure I'm not the only one who thinks that film just plain looks better).

Then a 2-disc audio companion with, say, the VH1 demos (and whatever other demos exist for the other albums). Bunch of live shit.

Fuck. I'd pay upwards of a c-note for that. $75, at any rate. Hell, make it a c-note if the band just keeps all Sam Halen shit AWAY from the whole project!

I have to imagine such a thing isn't possible because of a) legal wrangling over ownership, b) the source materials have been lost or c) the Van Halens won't release it because they're just plain afraid too - a case of fearing the kickass past dwarfing their meager present re: perceptions.

Otherwise, something along those lines would have been released by now.

I totally agree. Have it come packaged as a hardcover book like that one book series. They usually have a shitload of pics of the artist/band, information on the band, and shit. It would be really awesome.

Dave's voice and (believe it or not) Al's drumming were easily the two high points of the show I saw in 2008.

Paul Stanley's voice sounds fairly one-dimensional to me. Didn't notice it quite that much until Ace and Peter left the band in the early 1980s and KISS no longer had the requisite one or two tracks on an album for them to sing on.

It's a decent voice, but not a lot of variations in it.

[sonrisa salvaje]

Not to quibble, or to disagree (rock bands in the 1970s turning to disco to revive flagging careers or to just jump on a fad for an easy hit produced a lot of cheesy results), but was Dynasty a disco album? Or just the single off it?

Agreed that DITS was MORE than close enough for VH to be approaching disco...although I'd rather have a Van Halen disco album with Roth at the helm than a "rocking" Van Hagar album any day of the week.

I agree with you. Dynasty being a disco record is an urban legend. There is some killer shit on Dynasty and Ace had some of his best moments on that record. Anyone ever heard Hard Times?

Have to take your word on that. Do you prefer your trannies with big tits or big dicks? As long as everyone is consenting, have at it. Strange the number of dudes attracted to this type of "gal". Did you dress in your mom's clothes as a kid?:tongue0011:

Project much?

Eat a gun, Shirtlifter!

[Sensible Shoes]

I see we have another noob here with a hate on for Dave. How original!
