    My Honest review of the new Van Hagar tour

    I saw the fist of the 2 Worcester shows a few weeks back and it was sold out.(there are no tickets sold behind the stage-and the second show did not sell out) Fist let me say that Obviously I am much more of a fan of classic VH than hagar vh- that being said, I have seen the Diver Down, 5150, ou812, F.U.C.K. and VHIII tours so I know of what I speak. The show was overpriced! 100 bucks for a balcony seat is a bit steep. My main bitch however, is this... For the first time ever VH are sloppy! yes Sloppy! Eddie was not putting any effort into his playing. The band was messing up changes in songs. The only guy who was putting forth an efforet was....Sammy. He worked his ass off because I think he could sense that The band has kida lost it. This is not Aerosmith/stones/gn'r, You cant play VH sloppy... Yet thats what they did. Very disapointing! The VH3 tour with Cherone was sooo incredibly much better their is no comparison. They played with the classic VH groove.. No groove here folks, and that is the saddest thing. I think all of us here are praying for the Dave reunion tour, but that will be a huge dissapointment if ED, Al, and Mike dont get their musical shit together. The Sam & Dave tour was MUCH MUCH better than this one folks. P.S. I think It must stem from Ed's drinking. The Papers in town have had a bunch of stories about Eddie stumbling around Boston drunk and beligerent, being thrown out of places for carrying bottles of booze in brown paper bags like the Homeless do. Very tragic.

    Exactamundo.....

    Tragic indeed, especially if Sambo needs to tighten the band up...

      I don't think Ed had any intentions of putting effort into
      this one-off trainwreck from the get go.

          No point in Ed trying to please the fans, when he already knows they fucked up by not calling Dave first. Hey I just thought of something. Think its possible they did call Dave, and Dave might have told them to fuck off?! I know he's been wanting to join them and work shit out, but maybe he seen the light and writing on the wall and decided to stick it to them and get the last laugh? :D

            I think Dave would tell Ed he was bringing a lawyer with him, and then the phone would go dead.

            Dave should bring one with him though. They would try to fuck him over for sure.

                I'm thinking Dave walked away from the sisters when he realized Ed was hopeless...

                  yeah something tells me they called Dave before settling with Sham. In fact Im pretty sure they contacted a few singers before settling with Sham. Billy Squire, I believe, was one of them. Who were the other rumored singers?

                    It'd be a lose, lose situation if Dave went back to Howdy Doody Mountain. Spam is taking the fall with VH. No need for Dave to sully his good reputation by reuniting with the sisters.

                        As bad as Roth may want the reunion, don't think the payday will overshadow Roth's desire for the band to deliver the goods. And Ed and Al aren't capable of it.

                          I either heard or read David Coverdale at one point in time.

                            This chick I know from work went to see them here in NJ at the Continental Airlines Arena, and she said, and I quote, "they sucked"....

                            She said they sucked, and she said she can dig the Van Hagar stuff...

                              Does anyone remember reading a loooooooooooong time ago that before Sam was picked, 5150 was going to include a number of different lead singers? PHIL COLLINS was rumored to be one of them.

                              I remember this!
