For me, the key to enjoying what the band is today is to dig what they are, rather than grouse about what they no longer are. After all the years of being pissed off at the brothers, rolling my eyes at some of Roth's career decisions and getting irked at some of the idiotic bullshit that came out of Hagar's mouth, as a fan I just wanna put all of that in the past and enjoy what time the band has left...and enjoy the music.

Exactly. I agree with your post and the part I quoted is the essence for me. And frankly, it could be worse- Dave's vocals could be at a "Percy" Plant level (who for me has been off vocally since at least the early 90s) or Ed and Al could have gone on tour as "Van Halen" like Daltrey and Townsend are touring as "The Who".

Just out of curiosity, what letter grade would you give to Dave for the last tour, taking all aspects of live Dave in to consideration?

Envy, you'll understand when you're closer to 50. Us old people aren't sexy, plain and simple.

What's missing is the quest to explorer new territory and hunger. Young bands are hungry and on the rampage. They are on fire. After they have been there done that for a few years they lose it.

Van Halen now is concentrating on doing a good show instead of going on a rampage. Also what is missing is taking it to the edge loaded on cocain.

What you are missing is the bad boy full of cocain and monkey hour madness taking it right to the edge.



What you seek is here so I post it for you. Enjoy!

There's nothin worse than being 50-something and having some math challenged knucklehead push you prematurely to 60... knock it off!!

58 is the correct answer...

Dave is going to be 57 in October, he was born in 55' not 52'

That's up for debate. Some say '55, some say '54. Can't remember what he said in his book....

In his book he says 10/10/54. I always wondered where people got the '55 from - I've seen it on websites and in other books...??
