Punks: Van Halen to Perform on Jimmy Kimmel on March 30th?

[WARF]

[78/84 guy]

No. He didn't. You're just a history revisionist / delusionist.

He was nowhere near what he sued to be?

Did he try? Yes he did. To his credit.

But don't tell me he sounded "better than ever". He was a weak shell of his old self.

Stop using drugs if you think differently. It will help you think and hear better.

If you don't think Dave was great on that tour you are a idiot dude ! He was what ?? 50 something ? Yeah he was great. I have tons of recordings to prove it. Baltimore 08 comes too mind. Dave was decent 78-81 after that he did what he wanted. Usually fucked up. I don't even have a problem with that. But he was that 07/08 tour hands down.

[DONNIEP]

He's obviously wired in that pic...

I wonder just how much blow it takes to get Dave that fuckin high at this point?

[FALCO]

If you think he sounded bad 2007-2008, then he sounded bad his entire fucking career.

Exactly... I thought he was in full 'Rock God' mode in '07/'08... was killer for where he was in that space and time...
His voice had just the right amount of scream and the classic mid range attitude...

As for last night...
Thoughts after watching on my 1000w surround sound unit in the entertainment room...
VH in HD looks as it should... MONSTROUS... but for the love of Christ, (and not sure if it has been mentioned already), why can't the sound engineer give Dave a little noticeable atmosphere on the vocals? Slight reverb, a bit of delay, slight pitch shift or underlying thickener... a touch of mood and vibe instead of the friggin' DRY produced sound that just amplifies every scratch and garble (which is the one thing I disliked about ADKOT) ... At least it would have given the vocals a bit of depth and mood...

I thought the band sounded HUGE on my system and a bit of (Me Wise) magic on the vocals would have given another dimension...
I always make sure there is a bit of flavor on my vocals when I sing live... just enhances ever so slightly in a big way...

FALCO

I wonder what dave will wear tonight I bet his hair is longer

[diamondclaudio]

Cón Dave is in better shape!

Dave really sang on lower tone, he did the screams, he kicked, - kicks and jumps ( althought in minimum expresion) are trademark-. He´s still fun, relevant as a giant legend. He´s is in better shape than last tour, and that´s enough by far!!! I wonder how many of the younger rock singers can deliver that energy!!! I bet the new artists are The shame, compared to Dave. I predict Van Halen would retire by the falling of 2017, after touring England, Spain, France, Argentina, Brasil and Japan during 2016, and playing the Super Bowl and releasing live concert video of old days during 2017 (and some new U.S acts). That´s pretty repectfull to the loyal fans. I would feel blessed.

[Heater]

Excellent vid of what went down I believe he worked extremely hard on this gig and just owned himself as life sometimes sets up that way.. his voice before the band aid and cotton and the swelling sets in.......... excellent!!!

When he comes back up stairs and explains, I fucked my nose up... he sounds like a he has 10 cold and flu symptoms instantly ..lol...the breaks..?

I was at a KISS concert once and Gene Simmons vomited up a crapload of blood. Not only did he finish the song, he finished the whole concert. Just sayin'.

[Jetstream]

All I know is this... whoever wiped Dave's face now has the Holy Shroud of Roth with probably Dave's imprint preserved on it for the ages, someone must get Indiana Jones (or whoever is responsible for such stuff) to retrieve it before Hagar's evil Nazi attain the relic

[ELVIS]

All I know is this... whoever wiped Dave's face now has the Holy Shroud of Roth with cocaine residue preserved on it for the ages...

Fixed...

I think this would be a better story if it was about how he managed to do a KI$$ set without vomiting...

[lesfunk]

I didn't actually see where he kicked himself or whatever supposedly happened. I think he just did a rail and got a nosebleed. Or one of those nosebleed old people get from thinning membranes or whatever
