Perhaps you are uncomfortable watching Dave touch a woman as if it was enjoyable and worth a dance with her.

No matter what your, no gurls allowed moshpit, might say about girls and cooties.....

I've been away for a while. Is this fucker serious?

[clarathecarrot]

I've been away for a while. Is this fucker serious?

Yeah are you..?

[ALMOSTsaved]

Yeah are you..?

Insinuating that my belief that Dave could tone it down a notch is on par with being uncomfortable seeing him touch a woman is quite a stretch, doncha think?

[Von Halen]

I thought it was fun and I'm sure the Van Halen's did too.

It's odd how seriously some of you take a party rock band in their 60s sometimes...

Really? Kind of like they thought it was fun in '96 at the music awards when Dave was doing the same act?

I think Ed is oblivious. I think he's so happy to be playing the music with his brother and Son, that he doesn't even pay attention to what Dave is or is not doing.

Yeah, you're right, we take it seriously Sesh. It's too fucking bad Dave doesn't. It would be a whole different story if he just flat out couldn't do it anymore. But he proves in certain instances, that he can. He is choosing to fuck these songs up. We seem to care more than he does. That's fucking SAD!

And I say Amen.

I cannot understand how you are unable to understand that the CVH well stopped in1984...there is no music from other periods in this bands life...it is only teenage wasteland and 20 high energy R&R perfectly done .

The music is from then you are the one who thinks Dave thinks he is in 1984.

He is singing and the band is playing the music.

You are the one who cannot grasp anything other than a one dimensional vision of what is happening here...sorry,... you aren't the only one.

Here is what you need to do watch any vid or a bunch of them since 2007 as if you have no idea who these old mother fuckers are and then determine if you think they compare well to some other bands you like.


If you don't like it queue up some Vault SHIT and keep dreaming of what once will never be again.

You are fucking bizarre...I think Donnie is missing a sock or two myself.

Wanting a great band to forge on as a great band makes me bizarre? So be it.

I still love this band. Just not thrilled with some of their decisions.

But preach on as if you're the only one with a clue.

Just remember, everyone here is entitled their own opinion. Isn't it obvious to you that they're never all going to match?

Fuck it.

I always thought they were dicks about that or they used it as an excuse or both.

Disrespecting Beck by being happy in the background? what a crock of shit.

I thought they all looked genuinely happy. What you whiners aren't seeing is the super enthusiastic happy audience that they are looking at. Wolfgang has the look of someone laughing at their Aunt dancing on a table at a wedding...

Perhaps some of the recent posts around here angle toward a real control attitude about what Dave is doing and how he isn't doing it with you for you and about you..you know the way you want your special DLR, to be.

Now.... "you" in my sentence above can be quite a few posters on this site.

The content seems somewhat more than just a criticism of a rock band and their current "show".

[DONNIEP]

I would love to be a fly on the wall when they are brainstorming their fucking ideas.

VH and brainstorming - now there's two words you don't often see together in the same sentence.

I think that's kind of the point here. We don't want to see our favorite uncle dancing on the table.

[gbranton]

"Van Ellen"

More like "Van Dyke".

[Von Halen]

What you whiners aren't seeing is the super enthusiastic happy audience that they are looking at.

You mean the audience that is being coached by signs, the crew, Ellen, and whoever else?

You can call me a whiner all you want, but I expect more out of these guys (mainly Dave) than they are giving. It's a shame you are so willing to accept less than mediocre out of the greatest American rock band that ever existed. I'm sorry, I don't accept it. Especially since it doesn't have to be that way.

Fuck it.

The only thing DLR and The VH group can do is create some new music during this tour that is contemporary towards their current abilities and the atmospheres of today.

Otherwise this is all you faking fags are going to get the 5K rendition of mother fucking jump.

That is all there is to draw from...jeez..hot dog and mother fucking shake doods......

Mix it up dance with some scripted girl for a few second give the people all you have....there is nothing more.

Play the songs outdoor venues this time.... gather some writing material, new album next spring.

And that last sentence is all up to them.

[Seshmeister]

I would love to be a fly on the wall when they are brainstorming their fucking ideas.

I think it's more a case of Ed and Al going down a list he sends them - "Midgets NO, jugglers NO, showgirls NO, Live dog show NO, Bonsai tree garden NO!.... Ok let him have the 2 minute dance with his instructor jeez."

[philouze]

gather some writing material, new album next spring.

Like it's gonna happen...
