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

[vh rides again]

Last I checked, I gave my Cafe Wha tickets to James in NY, and actually went out of my way to get him tickets. In fact VA asked me how I got James in to begin with so he could get this place in. That's how all this started with the shows for the sites. It's been a nice partnership with the Army with all this...then I have to read some bitter, ridiculous comments.

I live in LA, of course I'm fucking going the only TWO times in my life I'll ever see VH like that in my backyard. Unreal people think I should have given THOSE tickets away too. Fuck that.

Some of you are such miserable assholes. Seriously. I thought maybe things had changed around here after meeting Jay, bantonelli, Tony, and RD. Incredibly nice people. Still the same stupid bitter shit going on between some people over nothing. I don't even know why I'm replying, nothing good will come from it. Eh....whatever.

Poj, not talking to you of course. I wish you could have come. I was hoping.

No doubt, you are correct.
Some people are opinionated fuck heads.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

and don't let Va Beach fool you...he's just a horrible...horrible person

That's just not right....

[SunisinuS]

Whoever has the contact with DDE around here needs to NICELY tell them Daves biggest fans say lose the headset !!! Sorry it's stupid for him to use them.

Sorry I don't have a problem with it. The earpiece that keeps falling out...that I have a problem with.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Well I know VA is a shitty photographer

You are correct, Sir !!

[Brett]

I said to VA:

"So what's next" hoping for at least a couple of bevies somewhere to celebrate. You know I have always been able to convince anyone I am with to press onwards and reach for the next plateau if you know what I mean.

VA wanted to be back at his Hotel...I knew he was dead serious and no way I was even going to start trying to convince him otherwise.

In his defence he had an early flight...

I could tell VA was tired. It was a long day and shit we were standing up for like 6 hours there too.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

We need to send less grandpa's to these shows, get some young blood going.

Cold-blooded, dude....

[78/84 guy]

Fuck......EVH is definitely back.....damn. This is just a warm up gig.....but ditch the headset and rock the fuck out.....to me Dave is the top front man of all time. Enough of the vaudeville schtick and Let's get rockin'.......I'm sure I'll be blasted for saying that. I know I know....I sound like a winy cunt....but to me Dave stole the whole damn tour in 07-08. I wanna see that Dave. I use a head set myself because I'm in a band that is so lame that I'm the drummer and lead singer.....and headset mic's are always wishy washy with volume and tone.

I couldn't agree more ! Headsets are fucking lame !! I don't mind if Dave use's them but there is no reason he needs them !!!!! Anyone that wants to say oh it's fine can kiss my ass !! Imagine Roth singing with those things on in 78 !! Case closed !! Dave has always done his own thing and thats cool, he had his reasons but this is lame !!! I agree with Elvis & hate to. Dave sounded like shit !! He didn't last show !! Someone needs to tell DDE to tell him what the fuck !! Give me the number, I'll do it.

Swear to God...and maybe I should only share this in a pm, but the Borat Hooker...the godmother to one of the K&TG singers says to me:

" I just Lovveeee Daveed....damn!!!! Tell me who do I have to blow to get with David Lee?" as she looks me up and down

[kwame k]

Awesome review, VA

Minus the spelling, punctuation and several times you didn't conjugate the verb

[VanHalenI]

Sounds like a great night for u guys, congratulations!, I mean it!!

[sadaist]

..... It's because apparent very quickly that he's singing to Jeff's very attractive wife, and it's disappointing, 'cause I thought my hair looked great last night....

We still love ya VA....even with morning bed head.


GRRROWLLL! Especially with morning bed head!!!


Thank you for the spectacular review & representing us. I think I've told you how I was supposed to see them the night on your ticket stub avatar but was caught & too young according to Mom. (She was right, but that's another topic). Extra thanks for getting into the Dave & Eddie relationship up close. One question....did you notice Alex enjoying himself? He smiles at the end when they all bow, but he just kinda seems frowny faced & just there because of Eddie & Dave nowadays. Just curious if he still loves what he does & enjoys Dave up front.

[Terry]

Pretty cool that they have 4 tunes off the new album in the setlist...with the possibility of perhaps one or two more...

Truth be told, I'm hoping they have at LEAST five tunes off the new album in their setlist.

OOOOOOOH that Borat Hooker. What did she have, like size 200DDDDD boobs? She was like knocking me over with those things.

Damn....out of thanks for today. Funny ass shit right there man. So? What did you do after VA left your side again?
