Van Halen

[rickmullen]

I got to see VH on the last tour in St Louis after it was postponed
while Eddie and the band took a break for a while I guess for Eddie
to get his "stuff" together. By the time they got around to making
up the St. Louis show, Eddie was in better shape and his guitar work
was good. Not so, in other shows I heard. David Lee Roth was, well,
David Lee Roth. I still prefer him over Sammy Hagar.

Hoping they're right about #s 4 & 1 but after that tour 2 years ago, I'm not to sure. Time will tell and I am looking very forward to it.

OMG somebody please pinch me and tell me it's a dream.... It sounds like a bad VH tribute bar band to me.... Gawd awful, IMO.

And what is up with DLR in overalls (farmer's clothes) and a cap like Brian Johnson (from AC/DC) wears????!!!!

This is what I meant in another thread about how when the performance varies too much from the original it's like fingernails on a chalkboard. I realize the audio and visuals will be poor, it's on a cell phone. But it's not, by far, the only problem with the performance.

Completely agree.

I'm not a fan of Van Halen but hubby is, and he loves that song, so I thought I'd watch it. I stopped after three minutes. The guitar solo was OK but the vocals.... when he started what sounded like a 'rap' I gave up.

As for his outfit remember in the California Girls video, the 'Midwest farmers' dauighters' part where he peels the corn cob?! Ahem.

This really saddens me a great deal. I was really hoping this time would be better but this video isn't proving it to be so. Hopefully it will get better. I guess there's a reason I've held off preordering the Cd. Tho I've thought about it several times. Guess I'll wait to hear more.
