With apologies to no one, I simply don't wish to hear that, not then, and certainly not now.

      That's not really bad at all...

      A good producer could make that great...

      Sounds like Dave on Outta Space...

        I guess, some of you have thought that Jagger could/would heve the perfect tones on redoing LIVE, some Get Yer Yaya's Out ........ hmmmmm.

        Maybe, DLR could use some new Van Halen music to meet his tone and situations of todays DLR and Van Halen the same ...hmmm.

        The verses are much more even tones and less different pitches that Van Halen have used It sounds different to me, but just as good.

        Maybe, DLR could use some new tunage as I mentioned above to fit todays voice and Ed his gutar ......that is not the Frankenstien ..doesn't sound the same on those old CVH Tunes..hmmm.

          I did not see them in person on the '07-'08 Tour, but from the videos...seems like Dave carried them. Ed was as sharp as EVER on the '12 Tour and Dave sucked ass. It has already been stated , but he needs to stick to his natural register and STOP ALL OF THE DANCING SHIMMIES!! Own the stage like The Badass Rocker that you are and not a dancer in A Chorus Line!!

              Dave could have left that Indeedido crap off of DLR band for sure...

              It's not so much the vocals as the kind of music it is...

              Corporate formula pop garbage exactly like the country bullshit they sell to people these days...

              A Little Ain't Enough is exactly that same kind of crap...

              That's why I hate it...

                        I really didn't find it all that awful, as he occasionally sang in his normal manner, offsetting the nails-on-chalkboard moments. As for today's Dave, I tend to believe he is trying to force things out, making up with aggression what he is missing in force. Hell, we all lose some zip on our fastball sometime in our 40s, and for Roth (who is rapidly approaching the age of 60), I'm willing to give him a break.

                            Maybe there have been others, but it's the best live rendition of the song I've heard so far.

                            Proves Dave can still sing his own way, with his deep, powerful low voice, and when he ventures to hit that higher tone it's just as the whim takes him.
                            "Everybody Wants Some" was awesome vocally speaking too IMO.

                              What do you think 1984 is ? 10 mil sold !

                                1984 is a great album.

                                10 mil sold in the US ... alone. Don't keep forgetting that all those numbers that get thrown around are usually the US certified sales ONLY. i have never seen a total for VH sales that looks realistic. Always looks too low and based on known RIAA certifications, which of course apply to US sales only.

                                And then there's rest of the world. I'd bet 1984 sold another 3-5 million worldwide. It was platinum in Canada, a Gold album in prob all the European territories, and the rest. Once you count all those up, it would be a big difference to what we conventionally regard as the total sales.

                                It never attained Diamond status in the US until a long time after the actual year 1984, but I have a Billboard clipping of a Warners 'congratulations to VH' advert from Nov. 84 saying it had already sold 8m WORLDWIDE in the first ten months of that year. What was it RIAA certified by Jan. 85? I bet non-US sales were about the same as US, i.e., around 4m/4m in that year - so 15m seems plausible to me.

                                Add sales of Jump worldwide - easily several million ... etc. and thatusic shifted A LOT of copies.

                                So - 15m Worldwide for 1984 and probably 15m+ for VHI which I'd bet is their most consistent long-term seller?

                                Not a stretch in my view.
