Lessons Learned: The 2012 Van Halen Tour

[DLR Bridge]

Kiss has gone to all analog equiptment at Paul's insistence for that exact reason, a warmer sound

Neil Young is fighting the good fight for analog sounding equiptment. Chef posted a good article about that not too long ago.

[Zing!]

Maybe that mindset worked back in 1984 but here in 2012, Roth's lyrics couldn't be any more perfunctory and dull. Sorry.

At risk of feeding the troll, I can not disagree more - and not simply because I'm a DLR/VH fan. Roth's lyrics on ADKOT are an astounding achievement in songwriting. Call it ass-kissing hyperbole if you want, but to me Dave raised the bar of what's expected of lead singers in the classic rock genre. Calling his lyrics dull is nothing more than pot-stirring at its lamest.

Good to see you and your social worker finally dealing with the brain damage from your meth addiction. Now if only you two can work on your delusional disorder.

It's a message board...

I couldn't care less what she or it thinks...

[ThrillsNSpills]

True enough!

Anyone can just scroll past comments if they want.

No need to be baited into a response.

I'd definitely say that's a good example of "ass-kissing hyperbole"...

But it's one guilty f'n pleasure I tell ya.

Who puts on a rock album looking for Shakespeare?

I don't think Dave phoned anything in with regards to the recording.
What I don't understand is why he jumped to Wolf's background part live on Blood and Fire.

[Never was]

I heard Dave did that to mess with some guy on the internet.
