Saw van hagar at the pond

[humansbeing]

I don't even know where to start complaining. First off the band wasn't even that loud. They had the opening band the same low volume as them. Than fat ass hagar came on stage when they opened with jump. Sammy definately has lost his voice. He cant sing worth shit have you heard his last live album? Alex van halen looked like he was so old that his arms were going break off during his drum solos. Eddie put on the laziest show ever. He just stood in one place the whole time. Anbody that says he has been running around through the shows is full of shit. His solo went on way to long and only about 20 seconds of it was from the eruption. Oh yeah than his fat ass spoiled son wolf gang came on stage . His son just fucking sucks. I was so disappointed when the show was over. They ended with when it's love. Im never going to spend another dime on van hagar or van halen again. Thats right even if dave went on tour with them i still wouldnt go . I'm only going to go when david solo goes on tour again. I saw him on the sam and dave tour and that was kick ass. Fuck the old Halens, Fuck fat ass Hagar, and fuck fat ass micheal anthony. David Lee Roth is the greatist!

Welcome to the Realm Of Truth, Neo. Choose a pill, and stay awhile.

How much did you spend on that bullshit ??

[fenway5150]

So what you're saying is you didn't like the show?

[humansbeing]

i spent at least $80 with parking. There ripping there fans off big time. You know they are making as much money if not more than their other tours, including 1984 tour and 5150 tour, and they are putting on 1/10 the show.

[Viking]

Yeah, tell us how you really feel......:D

[scorpioboy33]

what a drag for you.....what the fuck is this next guy talking about ?


squall of electric guitar from offstage that was raw and totally shocking. A hot and inspired Eddie Van Halen came to the arena with the band that bears his surname and reinterpreted even the group’s own hits with his urgent slashing, leaving the whole notion of rote concert performance in smoking ruins.

Coming nine years after the band last toured with front man Sammy Hagar, this was more than a reunion concert, Eddie Van Halen, shirtless and greyhound-thin at 49, deftly reclaimed the guitar-hero status and the big, mainstream rock that he seemed to have left behind the last decade.

From the opening keyboard chords of “Jump,” Van Halen started playing out complex patterns of touch-notes, power chords, hammered-on arpeggios and impossible blues runs that only grew more loose, indulgent, unironic and gorgeous as the two-hour-plus show built. If rock music is defined by the electric guitar, then this was an experience beyond rock. His smile grew more mischievous, and the packed crowd of 15,000 grew louder as it became obvious that they were witnessing a display of sweat-soaked mastery.

The quartet sounded best when it dipped into it meaner street-savvy sound, as on “Somebody Get Me A Doctor” and “Ain’t Talkin About Love,” and the band seemed to relish these hard-rockers the most. Unfortunately, Hagar still seems miscast on these songs, which need the dark Hollywood decadence of his predecessor, David Lee Roth. Hagar got huge audience response for his more ballad-like moments, but the energy low point came during his solo turn.

But the charisma pouring off guitarist Eddie Van Halen and his brother, frenetic drummer Alex, was a tuff act to follow. Eddie turned his own solo into a 10-minute deconstruction of his instrumental “Eruption,” which was interrupted only when his 13-year old son, Wolfgang, appeared with a guitar to duet on a chunk of melody named after the boys birthday, “3-16.”

Even through this potentially sappy moment, Eddie Van Halen continued to peel off shrieks and guttural lowing from his guitar, not letting a scrap of conventionality sneak in. These sounds should have been reminding us what rock once mean, but some how now it seems as if it never went away.

A drunk and uninspired Eddie Van Halen came to the arena with the band that bears his surname and reinterpreted even the group’s own hits with his sloppy, out of tune slashing, leaving the whole audience wondering how many days this once 'guitar hero' has left on planet Earth.

Coming nine years after the band last toured with front man, Fat Ass Hagar, this was less than a reunion concert, Eddie Van Halen, shirtless and heroin junky-thin at 49, totally rubbed out the guitar-hero status and the big, mainstream rock that he impressed on the fans in earlier decades.

From the missed opening keyboard chords of “Jump,” Van Halen started stumbling through what were once complex patterns of touch-notes, power chords, hammered-on arpeggios and impossible blues runs that only grew more disjointed, sloppy, unlistenable and ironic as the two-hour-plus show built. If rock music is defined by the electric guitar, then this was a sad experience beyond comprehension. His smile grew more drunken, and the packed crowd of 15,000 grew tired as it became obvious that they were witnessing a display of alcohol-soaked gray matter.

The quartet sounded worse when it dipped into it meaner street-savvy sound, as on “Somebody Get Me A Doctor” and “Ain’t Talkin About Love,” and the band seemed to tarnish these hard-rockers the most. Fat Ass Hagar still seems miscast on these songs, which need the dark Hollywood decadence of his predecessor, David Lee Roth. Fat Ass Hagar got zero audience response for his more ballad-like moments, but the energy low point came during his solo turn.

But the alcohol and shit smell pouring off guitarist Eddie Van Halen and his brother, asshole drummer Alex, was a has-been act that nobody in their right mind would want to follow. Eddie turned his own solo into a 30-minute deconstruction of his former glory. “Eruption,” which was interrupted only when his fatter than Fat Ass Hagar, 13-year old son, Wolfgang, appeared with a guitar to vomit on a chunk of melody named after the boys birthday, “3-16.”

Even through this potentially vomit inducing moment, Eddie Van Halen continued to peel off paint from his guitar with his alcohol breath, not letting a scrap of recognizable Van Halen sneak in. These sounds should have been reminding us what rock once mean, but some how now it seems as if it's gone for good.
