The All Encompassing "Dave's Headset" Thread

[Nitro Express]

I'm not seeing Diamond Dave up there. I'm seeing David Roth up there. Head sets are fine for Britney Spears, Sammy Hagar, or if you work the drive through at McDonald's. Get a microphone stand Dave and carry that fucker around with attitude. Put a few scarves on it or whatever. Mike stands are cool, headsets are not.

Dave was awesome last tour...

I hope we get the same Dave this time around...

He's looking like the weakest link at this point...

Apart from Wolf who has to try his best to play the BASS parts
his Dad recorded

I would say SOUNDS like the weakest link is more like it !! Nugent uses them but he is insane & run's all over still & he plays guitar !!

I just watched the Tattoo clip and Dave sounds great, even on the higher stuff..

Headset an issue ?

Is this the new whine now that MA is no longer required ?

Give me ONE reason he needs them ?? Case closed !!

No headsets here. This is how it should be done.

Fact !! Whoever has the number to DDE needs to have the balls to say what the fuck !! If he has them in April, well at least Ed is fucking back !! I won't watch Dave sing Somebody Get Me A Doctor with his hands on his knees !! He did it in on clip, might have been EBWS and looked stupid as hell !!

i'm not gonna argue with anyone... to me it's a non-issue.

i still think he might be using the rehearsals to give it a go and see how he likes it, tour proper might be back to handheld.

Wow! I take a day off of the internet and come back to a 6-page thread about a headset!

I will go on record as saying I do not care for the headset.. to me it just looks weird, but I'm sure I'll get over it in about .0000001 seconds when I'm rocking my ass off in Louisville next weekend. I will miss what Dave does with the mic stand though.. like that crazy back bend during Meanstreet.

My attitude to the headset thing is that Dave has forgotten more about being a front man of a band than anyone else ever knew.

I'm sure there were plenty of people who questioned every single bit of his thing back in the day be it his jumping around or torn up clothes.

You could write a psychology paper on the upset this headset thing seems to have caused here. It's a common thing to talk about hiding behind a guitar whereby there is a big difference between singing while playing the guitar onstage and just singing. This is an extension of this because he is naked, he doesn't even have the mike as a prop.

What's kind of weird about this is that he's the naked one but it seems to be the audience that are self conscious about it...

The number is on the web...

Wrong !! The singing was the worse part. Including Wolf !! Way better the other night. Not blaming the headset on this but it wasn't that great.

Dave without a microphone is like Ron White without smokes and booze. How in the hell do you say that is not a microphone in my pants I'm just glad to see ya with a fucking headset?

Props are important. When you are the front man with no instrument you need something.
