        Dopie, I agree in principle, but on the eve of a historic album and tour from the Mighty Van Halen, You need to shut the fuck up and keep it to yourself.
        You've had since 2006 to bring this up...

          Did you notice this is THE Roth Fucking Army? If you want American Idol you are in the wrong place.

            Jesus Christ...

            It has been almost THREE FUCKING DECADES since the last Van Halen album with Dave.

            And out of the woodwork comes all these whiny cunts with advice and nit-picky problems.

            Do you know when this was a very unhappy and sparring website (actually, it was all kinda awesome)? 2004. During the lame-ass, pathetic Sammy-VH reunion tour. Sheep were running amok...Dave was rather silent...things looked hopeless.

            Now we have everything we've wanted...and there are people determined to be unhappy and finding ways to bitch about Dave.

            For God's sake, WARF and Dave were almost French-kissing, a 13-song Van Halen album with Dave including SHE'S THE WOMAN is about to be released, an extensive tour is ready to go with new material, Sammy isn't even being mentioned by these guys and his songs are forgotten...

            Yes, this is a time to be happy and enjoy the show.

            Whining fuckers.

              It's the Diamond David Lee Roth Army here...

              I must admit that I see what you mean, Dave sang certain verse parts higher than usual,
              like one line at a higher pitch than the following one...
              I dunno, maybe he was too excited to play and had to exteriorise his excitement this way?
              Is it that blamable?

                    Nah man. No one here thinks Dave is the greatest singer of all time. It's the whole package that makes him great. Not knowing what the next thing he will sing, say or do is half the fun. Sure some things bug me, like in panama.....shes flyin im flyin? Whatever. Im just happy hes doing panama. Just drink more so it all makes sense.

                        Well i have nothing of value to add so instead I will just ramble.

                        Listen,

                        If you want to hear good timing, on-key notes and word-for-word accuracy then what the hell are you doing seeing or watching live shows?

                        I'll give you one - the screaming is a bit awkward, but if you pay attention to the 2k7/2k8 videos he was much more dialed in.

                        Me personally? I'l wait for a few vids of thew first few gigs start poppin up on youtube before I make my judgement.

                        Have you ever been in a band? I have and I'll say this. At first I was a uptight jackass and I wanted my singer (death/heavy metal band) to be perfect but instead he wanted to get piss drunk, sing when he wanted to and just be a jackass. After a while I realized "hey, you know.. he might as well be fucking DLR up there.. " and like that I turned to him and said "You do whatever the fuck you want." and you know what? it kicked ass... then he broke his ankle got a dui and couldn't travel to practice; the bassplayer moved to fucking fort lauderdale, I had a kid and like that it was ALL OVER with.. fucking bitch! all his fucking fault! god damn singers..

                        There is a point to all of this.. let the man sing how he sings man, that's part of the magic. Don't set yourself up for disappointment by expecting him to replicate his recorded performances, instead, expect Diamond Dave and you will absolutely enjoy it.

                              Dave, please stop the screaming. The way you sing the first lines to Somebody Get Me A Doctor at the New York gig, for instance, is awful. Just stick to the great melodies. Your voice is at its best in the low/mid registers, as we all can hear on the great Van Halen albums. You can still reach those notes, so there is no need for that strange high pitched voice. I'm sure everybody knows what I'm talking about here.

                              And Dave, please pay a bit more attention to your timing. On record it's always perfect, but live, it seems that you sometimes forget the words, so you are too late. Well, find a way to remember them. Don't get me wrong, David Lee Roth has one of the greatest voices in rock and he still can be a great frontman. But most of the time, the live singing could be a lot better. It's not a karaoke show, it's your profession.

                              So, there I said it.
                              AL !!! Jezzz, just talk to Dave in person, this isn't really the best way, just call him on the phone...say, sometimes you upset my timing and I am the bottom end holding this music fast to the rock. Dave is a understanding sort of fellow and can take some critisism..sak up!

                              I like Dave's exclamation points, on the old classics, but this is a good post you posted (not Al)..even though I like the way DLR mixes it up, you have the right to say what you will.

                              I like the stories the banter it gives everyone a break. If you want solid structure to the Album go see Madonna she lip syncs to her stuff the whole show and still charges 500 $ a chair ..nice work if you can get it .

                              Mutha On Bitches!
