Van Halen to perform at California Mid-State Fair - July 24th

[twobad]

AS regards marketing / promotion, ADKOT sponsored a couple of episodes of the Adam Carolla Podcast (start throwing rotten fruit "NOW") which I first misinterpreted as him just "talking up the album" but then it was obvious it was ad placement so "somebody" was looking to reach VH fans (or potential fans) through a "new" medium, podcasting. If you stop throwing the rotten fruit at me, I will return to the shadows and be quiet for a while.

Bullshit...how ??

You need a good product for anything to take off on social media...

ADKOT was good but Van Halen suck overall live and it's mostly Dave's fault...

But it's also obvious that they don't spend any time together or practice at all together...

You can spend all the social media money in the world but you can't polish a turd...


Look at these Youtube comments:


Music good, singing sucks. Roth has no rhythm or range. Hard to sit through.


The band is good, especially Eddie and Alex. Dave is just pathetic. Off-key bellowing all over the place, and he insists on dancing like some zoot-suited latin mambo king - if that mambo king was gay..


no way man.....it was very sad to see this.....


Man, I have never heard or seen Van Halen SUCK like they do here!


the who's roger daltry is like 12 years older then dave and has more energy on stage
and dave has been off for months and months his energy looks zapped...


hey roth! wtf is with the squealing??? someone grabbing your balls with a remote nut pincher?? c'mon, you don't have the range...


Some of the worst singing you'll ever here at a live show right here, folks.


Doing what he does best on stage now...butchering Ed's music.


Dave is sooo pathetic! What the hell happened to the guy. he looks like his back is broken or he has terrible arthritis. He cant move and looks awkward just doing the simplist of movements. FAIL!!


That's how the general public look at the current Van Halen...

More social media would only highlight the let down...

Well those people are all a bunch of fucking

And I'll say it before and I'll say it again. DaveSUCKSLive is Sammy Hagar's YouTube account.

I already told all of them to go ram a sandpaper crowbar up their shit pipes.

This just in from under a rock. JFK is dead, a man has set foot on the moon and David Lee Roth has reunited with Eddie Van Halen!

A hearty WTF?? goes out to the author of the Fair review above.

I'll bet that fucking moron reviewer hasn't even heard ADKOT.

Maybe that's the sheep who complained about "7 new songs in a row" (because they were expecting "How Do I Know When It's Cheese" or some other shit Hagar song)

You're basing the demise of Van Halen on cherry picked anti Dave quotes from YouTube(!), with zero context behind the quotes? If I cared enough, I could find an equal number of praising quotes on YouTube, which would mean about as much as the negative ones, i.e., nothing. And are those comments coming from actual fans or from morons like the one at the last show who complained about the band singing seven "new" songs in a row?

[ELVIS]

I dunno...

Put on Dance The Night Away and read those comments...

They're spot on in my opinion...

[ELVIS]

Here, I'll do it for you...

[ELVIS]

That really does fucking totally suck...

Again, you're mixing apples and oranges, E....

I don't disagree with you re: Dave's voice... I think he completely and unnecessarily goes to the high registers, it's cringe-inducing, and I just wish someone would pull him to the side and show him....

All I'm referring to is exposing themselves just a bit more via social media, and the majority of it is dirt cheap, if not free....

Those several sessions where Dave, Ed and Al were just reminiscing were fantastic !! Now I don't think Ed and Al would want to keep continuing that, but personally I'd like to see DLR shift his "Roth Show" episodes more towards his old VH days myself.....

How about a [ moderated ] Q & A with the fans uploaded via UStream or something equivalent ?? Shit, even an hour with Wolf I think would be interesting, assuming some good questions were asked....

How about sending out PERSONALIZED Tweets from DLR and EVH, and not linking to yet another DLR pic from Tokyo, or announcing the latest EVH flip-flops.... IMO even the smallest of personalized Tweets are appreciated way more than these pretty lame ones now....

As KISS did last night, on Facebook how about some not only some concert pics, but some behind the scenes pics ??

Like I said, extremely easy..........

[chuckjitsu]

That really does fucking totally suck...

That's ONE song from ONE show and it also happens to be a song that pretty much everybody agrees that Dave has been consistently poor on since the '12 tour. I'm sure if we had access to enough boots, we could find plenty examples of Dave "sucking" for one reason or another on some song he performed between '78 and '84, which just was what it was at the time.

[Von Halen]

That really does fucking totally suck...

You're joking, right Elvis?

[ELVIS]

[Von Halen]

Here, I'll do it for you...

Maybe Dave was torturing those fucking Aussies, because they DESERVE it!

[ELVIS]

You're joking, right Von ??

[ThatGuy1]

That really does fucking totally suck...

The band has been great but Im sorry Dave has been BRUTAL. My Gawd that was bad.. Love the records though.
