Van Halen--TOUR REHEARSAL--LA--FORUM--2/8/12--Roth Army Exclusive!

[diamondsgirl]

Are you fucking kidding??? Great footage. Holy SHIT!!


I Love this! Dave looks and sounds mint!!! Incredible!

(Ed too. lol)

His dancing is sexy as hell and I have NO PROBLEM with the headset so I can see more of his mug. Love it. Love it. Love him.

And when he disrobes....DG likes...Take it off!! Take it ALL off!!

DG is thrilled!!


....what rhymes with Delores and Carolina??? LOL

I still want Tattoo to go into YNG!

[VHscraps]

The head set thing is important - 'cos if you're wearing that you gotta be moving around all the time, or twirling the ol' weapons of the Orient, as Dave is wont to do - or else you just look like a dork. Don't care what anybody says. This is rock'n'roll and it ain't fuckin cool.

No mic stand on stage suggests its for the whole show ...

[Hummarstra]

Tattoo live is a bit underwhelming...

I agree. Listened to about 30 seconds and then turned it off.

[DLR Bridge]

Something terrible has occurred to me. Unless I stomp on my I-Touch or plant my head through my home computer monitor, I'm going to end up seeing this entire show before the 28th. I've got zero will power to avoid watching these clips.

[ThrillsNSpills]

I could give two shits about Dave using a headset...that is not a very important issue on my list. As long as they sound good, he could use a Campbell's soup can and a string for all I care. These guys have delivered a kick ass album, given us fan sites more than we could ever hope for, and people are complaining. I don't get it.

They got the best album they could hope for and are doing the pissinmoan dance about a headset.

[ELVIS]

Nothing better to do...

EXACTLY... people need to STFU and enjoy the tunes, FFS!! Quit fucking whining!

[VHscraps]

It's two separate things, though.

The album is killer, and I agree 110% it is the best I would have hoped for. I like it more every time I listen to it, and without Dave they'd never have pulled something like this off. But I just don't see singing some of those tunes wearing a headset as looking right. Maybe it is 'cos Dave has lost some mobility and he's not gonna be jumping around and doing the high kicks, so he's gonna kinda shimmy around and he needs a headset ...

And the way it all looks matters. If you're Justin Timberlake, or Madonna, you might wear a headset 'cos it's the only way you can do your show, or whatever - Dave always looked great with a mic stand. The Henson show looked great, and the Wha? kicked ass because it was pure no frills rock'n'roll. I'd like to see 'em do more of that, even if Dave dresses like Casey Jones every night.

[Vinnie Velvet]

Folks, the headset may not be a permanent thing.

Stay calm...er...or frosty I should say.


lol

[ELVIS]

It was always Dave who said it should look how it sounds...

You're seriously grasping for things to complain about...

[fryingdutchman]

lol

Exactly.

And if it is permanent, it doesn't matter.

Just frees up another hand for nunchuks....

[Zing!]

Not crazy about the headset but I can live with it. I guess it's this tour's gimmick for Dave - like the top-hats and Liberace jackets last time. He likes to mix things up a bit, which is cool. Just seeing him without the mic-stand after all these seasons is a bit disarming. As I plan on being blotto for the show, I'm sure it will make little difference come game day.

[diamondsgirl]

OMG...its just a head set. lol. Maybe he is just trying it out, maybe he will like it, maybe he won't. Who the fuck cares?? He sounds awesome and looks happy and healthy and is kicking ass up there!! That's what matters to me.

Now, that one-size- too- big skipper hat from last tour....wtff??

[Hummarstra]

I don't mind it. Give Dave few shows and he'll make it his bitch and then we'll all forget its even there.
