[ELVIS]

I don't see him leaping over MA like he use to as well.

You saw Mikey ??

[ELVIS]

who the fuck is bert?

Hahahaha...

Isn't your name Bert ??

[diamondsgirl]

The cap he's been wearing this time is much cooler - looks great on him.

wait a minute...you mean the one that looks just like Justin Timberlakes?? lol

[Hummarstra]

You've hated this song from the get go!!

Oops. Someone saw my youtube postings. But, I love Blood and Fire. I hope we get a video of that soon.

[SNIPER]

Saw that Mike Inez was there.

[riggodrill44]

OK... in the Tattoo video from the Forum, the head mic works for me. Eddie is stellar... I can't wait to see him play live. He's on a whole 'nother level than he was on the last tour. And Wolf... yes... yes... YES! He is contributing... not substituting.

[SNIPER]

I wanna see Blood And Fire and China Town!!! Dammit!!

[SNIPER]

I don't care about the head set. Do I like them? No. But Dave can do what ever the fuck he wants as long as he is VH.

Saw that Mike Inez was there.

The OTHER coolest Mikey in the music biz...

[MUSICMANN]

You saw Mikey ??

You know what i meant.

[VHscraps]

Ha! You got me. But I didn't really mean that the headset thing was uncool 'cos Justin Timberlake does it - it just suits his kinda performance.

I hate saying anything negative right now, 'cos I'm so elated that they are back and have probably just made one of their best albums.

Maybe I'm a head-in-the-sand fool, and the show will pan out just great with Dave doing it this way. Or maybe it just takes a bit of gettin' used to ... but, on the other hand, I just think if it does end up as the way he performs the whole show, we might all be hanging around here in 4 or 5 years goin' - "oh, yeah - remember the tour where Dave had the headset? What the hell was he thinking of ... "

[MUSICMANN]

Well in this video of ICM, he does switch back to a mic. So like some have said, it could be a trial thing that pans out or he will ditch it all together.
