REPORT: =vh = to headline australian festival april 20-21

[sadaist]

Been waiting my whole "long" life for Dave and VH and now less than 2 days away til the Festival. Fark...

Good for you man!

Mine was 2007 and I am not ashamed to admit I teared up about 4 times. It was a beautiful thing. I chose not to record the show as I wanted to savor every second of it and not worry about a camera.

Holy cow! I know how much more charisma Dave has, but WOW he simply looks so much more damn cool just by the picture alone! I'd love to hear the verbal ownage. ROTFLMFAO

[big fatty]

Ha, ha, ha. You said it right there. That picture pretty much speaks for itself. Heh, heh.


Steverino may be the big kahuna amongst the little teenage American Pop Idol contestents. But not when Diamond Dave and Van Halen are in the house. L.O.L.

Shit. It just occured to me it may not be the best time to talk smack about Aerosmith, since they are from Boston. I didn't think about that at the time of this post.

1 - it's always a good time to talk smack about Aeroballad.

2 - right now we are ALL Bostonians.

I said near to the start of this thread that I coughed up nearly $900 for two tickets for this festival for standing at the front. Then they gave me a front row seat for each day, then they took it away for the Saturday to accommodate all the people that had tickets to the stand-alone Aerosmith show. Now, I see they're being sold for less than half, which kinda pisses me off. The promoters offered me a free one (kind of stupid given I live 900km from Sydney and couldn't get a friend to pay for airfares and accommodation at 7 days notice).

But, through all that - now that Van Halen are finally freaking here, I can't f**king wait. I was one when DLR toured with the Skyscraper tour, I was 11 when VH toured with Cherone, and I was about 13 when my friend (wise beyond his years) said, "dude, you need to download some classic VH from Napster."

Well, I did. That was 13 years ago. (I've bought all the albums since). Now I'm flying 900km to see them for the first, and probably only, time. I'm seriously excited. I even bought a new camera for the occasion. I'll do my best to read the instructions and for the benefit of everyone here, I'll try to post some pictures.

How cool does Dave look here.Great picture

Not a flattering shot of Aerosmith. Yeesh.

Yikes! Joe Perry looks like my disturbing grand mother, Tom Hamilton appears to have been to an L. A. plastic surgeon, Brad Whitford looks like he is moonlighting from his main gig as a roadie for Lynyrd Skynyrd, the drummer looks as if he recently quit his job announcing wrestling matches and Steven Tyler apparently just walked off the set as the star of "Real Housewives of New Jersey." By comparison, how can Dave Roth appear anything more than normal looking?

[DLR Bridge]

Precisely! Ever since Joe started dying his hair, but leaving silver streaks in the front, I thought he looked rather grandmotherly.

Frighteningly enough...
