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

[Seshmeister]

Just saw the slow motion of the nose thing! DAMN!!

.....

[So this is love]

Too bad Dave puts the crowd asleep with his stupid stories and cringe yelps during what is otherwise a ripping performance...



And he looks like he's been smoking crack...

I like it...Glad to see they still rock, despite the gum chewing I am satisfied with their performance.

DLR has several injuries attributed to his performance styles.

This is the second reported staff one.

He has one from the eighties with the sword .

Then there is the famous -low ceiling- in Germany (?) back in the 70s when he smashed his nose on the mirror ball after drum riser splits leap.

I also have slight info on a huge injury to his right thigh.

Battle Wounds.

I wonder how many haven't made the press.

Saw this last night at the bar and the very first thing everyone did was speculate on what exactly happened.
I just thought maybe he did so much blow that his fuckin' beak exploded. Been there done that. Don't you hate when that happens?

Now that we know what did happen, I still like my guess better.

[ELVIS]

.....

The moral of the story...

Don't do ten lines of blow and try to twirl a baton...

[ELVIS]

I've seen Ed be chummier with Dave on the past tour than on this performance.

Yeah...

I'd be pissed too if I were Ed watching Dave, the wired train wreck...

Good thing Ed didn't pull one'a these moves.

You shouldn't knock it before you try it. Sounds fuckin' cool to me!

[ELVIS]

I meant in front of millions of people worldwide...

Nah, I suppose you'd still try it...

[Romeo Delight]

Elvis...you have to admit Dave had some pretty slick Stage moves and poses/gyrations (lol) versus the last tour....give him that much

[ELVIS]

I thought he looked dumb, out of touch and crackhead thin...

Ed looked healthy and acted normally...

Here's a text I got today from a bass player friend of mine that I told Van Halen was airing last night:

"Eddie sounds great but dlr has lost it"

I think it's safe to say that's the gist of what most casual fans think when they see a "performance" like that...

"Eddie sounds great but dlr has lost it"

I think it's safe to say that's the gist of what most casual fans think when they see a "performance" like that...

That's pretty much exactly the buzz I'm hearing from people in the real world. I would hate to see this apparent house of cards come crashing down.

[ELVIS]

This is the only clip they should have aired live if they really want to sell that Tokyo crap...

[ELVIS]

Dave sounds like crap on that too, and that's the easiest song he's got...

[DLR Bridge]

Ed looked healthy and acted normally...

Fantastic that he looked healthy, but acted "normally"? He was kinda wooden and boring. I've seen him play phenomenally and put a little wiggle in it. I think the visual show should be provided by the three guys out in front. You know damn well Dave had a well choreographed live show with Mike and Ed on up through 1984. Ed and Wolf are statues. They need to look more lively in my opinion.
