    Something of a phenomenon isn't it? The verbal abuse didn't happen here during our 6 years of dating. Must be written into the marriage contract. In veeeeeerrrrryyy small print.

For one thing, true die hard DLR fans have been on this site for the last fucking 10 years, at least. Beating on trolls, and bashing each other when things were bad in the VH world. You say "true DLR fans keep the faith"... WE'RE the ones that have been on this site, DDLR.com, and the previous incarnation of this site, as well as slawterhouse since the fucking 90's.

        One could say if you're a TRUE DLR fan, then what the fuck took you so long to find the Army?
        First thing I said to someone on here was....know the pecking order...know the protocol...know that you are new here and to start swinging a small dick around on this site like you think you got one like Dirk Diggler is a cardinal fucking sin and a major form of disrespect. Only defend if someone breaks the ice with you, but show respect to the people who have put in the time and who have more stripes on their arms. You are stepping on the toes that are connected to the ass you may have to kiss later....so rise up the ranks..pay your dues...don't act like a douche...and don't act like you are a swinging dick on here...when really you are hung like a peanut so to speak.

          But these days with all of the mammoth video screen action you rarely see anything in that size and scale anymore....

          They were flush with record co. money and probably what I'm guessing was lower overhead back then. Plus they were coming off five (or more) successful previous tours for platinum records...

            Hilight was the Greensboro show, one of top three shows this tour if not the best.

            Low lights

            the headset, seriously bad idea to combine old dogs and new tricks just did not work on a lot of levels

            economics, this tour has to make money and given the economics that means no big budget for staging. I really like what they did and how they used those resources but more budget would have been cool to allow Dave to play a bit.

            Wolfie deserves a solo, he is a secret weapon in this band. Plus his not knowing better affords him speaking up even on somethings normally never approached. Its had a very positive impact on the dynamic of the band and broke up some personality logjams.

                  The disappointment right now is that there are plans for Australia(??) and Japan, but not Europe.

                      It's got to be one of the all time best for sure..

                        The VIP packages are a major ripoff (see the other thread)....

                        I would have liked to have seen the catwalk been retained and USED.....

                        That's about it for me...
                        I was pleased with my VIP. It was worth the soundcheck that's for sure....

                          Did you get to hear LUTS?? That would be worth every fucking penny of VIP for me!

                            To be fair, I don't think soundcheck was a part of it when Va posted that. Gotta love the way they're listening to us

                              What Do You Suggest VH Change "Live" Next Time Out?

                              This is my "practical" suggestion:

                              1) Drop the setlist completely and play everything that's left including ADKOT in total.

                              2) Improvise the concert like you guys did in 07'/08'. It's OK to add Crossroads and Magic Bus.

                              Impractical Suggestions:

                              1) Dave sings the entire set in Spanish to de-emphasize the missed notes, forgotten lyrics and botched cues, so fans can criticize his pronunciation.

                              2) Bring Al Roker on tour and have Alex apologize to him every night, instead of playing a drum solo.

                              3) During ICM, have Dave release his dogs into the crowd to herd everyone who is old, fat and bald.
                              The dogs can use their own discretion. Make them do roundhouse kicks at their seats until they reach Dave's level of fitness.

                              4) Make Wolf wear "assless chaps" during "Bottom's Up" while playing with his back to the crowd.

                              5) Have Eddie explain where the "Oakland Footage" is during Cathedral. Ed's allowed to sit down during his explanation.

                              6) Have Tom Cruise jump off the drum riser, slide across the floor and proclaim his love for Katie Holmes.

                              7) Have the Pit Crew serve fresh sushi and champagne during "Everybody Wants Some" to those that bought VIP tickets.

                              8) Instead of confetti, shower $100 bills into the audience. Fuck those, that leave during JUMP!!

                              9) Replace the linoleum dance floor with fine terrazzo tile from Corsica and have Dave discuss its value around the home.

                              10) And finally, turn on the AC full blast while Dave sings "40 Below", followed by HFT and then Crazy From The Heat, while making fun of the backstage crew.

                                Your "practical" suggestions are delusional at best.

                                No way in hell VH plays ADKOT in its entirety ---- VH is 95% a nostalgia act now and anyone who denies that is living in a fantasy world.

                                If VH played nothing but old hits they'd still pack arenas ---- if they only played ADKOT you would only hear crickets chirping.
