He's gonna make a Goddamn fool of himself. His podcast about this......the guy is fucking delusional. He still thinks he's a star. Does he not realize he cannot sing worth shit anymore? And he looks like a flaming faggot with the queer moves.
This guy is on a different planet. He needs to just retire. He thinks he is still the man...…….
It's fucking 8 show's
holy crap let the guy do what he enjoys doing and at least he is trying to keep himself relevant so fucking what if he's "ecentric" or odd like Natra said at least he is doing something sheesh!
And this little Vegas stint hardly puts a dent in his schedule or anything that he or the Van Halen's have brewing which can be a possible tour or an EEAS reunion.

Mmm...I mean, I thought his most recent online/podcast series of interviews was...a bit eye-rolling.
Thought that live gig he did fairly recently at that benefit show was mildly embarrassing.
If he rehearses and does a full-on blues rock with a brass section, he should be able to turn in a series of performances that are decent. It's a series of Vegas gigs as a solo showcase, so nobody should be expecting Van Halen or EEAS-caliber level performances.
Far as his singing goes, yeah, he's not a fraction of what he used to be, and I've made more than a few allowances for the guy live since 1999 (lowering the bar for what I deemed acceptable with each subsequent live undertaking he did post-DLR Band album release).
But, really, at this point what the fuck else is Dave gonna do? He apparently wants to work and DO SOMETHING. What else other than what he has always done? He's probably gonna keep going until people stop paying money and coming to see him. Long as people are willing, why shouldn't he? It's not compulsory that one attends one of his gigs. It's not mandatory that one goes to see Van Halen Mach 4 if they tour again if what the band is doing isn't cutting it for you.
I get that as a fan of him when he was in his prime, comparing that to today the impulse is to say he should retire, Approaching 50, I can tell you that I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing for a living until I can't do it anymore. Even if I hit the lotto tomorrow, I'd want to have a reason to get up every day other than to count my money. I suspect that's where Dave's coming from...although maybe his cuckoo ISN'T in the clock and he DOES still think he's every bit as good as he was in 1984...or 1996...or 2008...
I like Dave, hence I still check this site, but can someone just stop him from yelping his way down the proverbial respect ladder on this one. I want the freaking John 5 LP. Dave seems to still be able to deliver a studio project but this rehashing of old stories and phrases while he yelps in straining octaves without at least the nostalgia of the warped brothers V on stage does not help him. I saw his podcast where he brings up Tom Jones and attempts to offer his Sir Jones vocals and it was well, show some respect by not giving respect with where your vocals are now. Dave is like some child now who is listening to his self adoring parents (the people who still think he is the shit from his podcast) and believes them when they say he sounds great going into cringe worthy octaves which he never would have consider doing when he was in his prime. I guess Dave really does not have any real friends because he actually just might be all about himself, because real friends are people you respect and believe if they would say, "dude, stop singing like that because it sounds crapalicious"

Tickets start around $64. The capacity of the House of Blues is around 2500 so 8 shows = 1 arena show especially when you include people going to more than one plus casino comps and so on so I would expect this to sell out quite quickly.

Either nobody with any influence on him has spoken frankly to him about the state of his live vocal approach, or possibly he wouldn't listen anyway, but clearly he could sound a lot better with a lot less effort and strain by merely singing.
