    If only if were the full, original Van Halen, then I might be interested in paying the somewhat exorbitant ticket costs. Or if they had Sammy and DLR both there.

    I'm already dreading the traffic problems this is going to cause with the SM bridge closed!

    Uggggghhhhh!!!!!!
    sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

        I wonder what the Vegas odds are for this tour imploding half way thru the dates scheduled.

          Agreed. If you saw the article, there is a video with an opening monologue from Dave that drags on forever. You could tell the band was just sitting thinking "WTH?"

              You know when it's time to call it quits as a singer when you start asking for a little more echo. Eddie sounded great. Alex sounded great. You can't even hear Wolfie. Man, that tour is gonna suck eggs. Good luck to all the VH fans out there that think this is gonna bring them back to 1984...cause it aint.

                  When I saw them in 1984, they sucked!!! Worst concert I've ever been to.

                    Sorry Shane. Just not much of a fan of David Lee Roth. IMHO he's too much of a clown. I mean you can have fun on stage...but if the fun is the only thing you're having, and the voice is shot, then it's gonna suck. The funny thing is when Sammy was heading VH, they were having fun and they kicked arse musically and vocally. You could see it in "Live Without A Net". I personally saw it on the Monsters Of Rock tour and when they were not headlining the Monsters Of Rock at the Nassau Coliseum. Lot's of energy and fun. Again, just my opinion.

                      My heart says, "You're wrong, Bluemeanie!" but my hairline sadly agrees.

                          Here's a low quality copy of the tune that debuts tomorrow. But if you want to hear it now, here you go. It's okay, but nothing that cool to write home about. I was expecting a little bit more. I miss Michael Anthony's back harmonies big time.

                            That song sounds super weak. If thats one of the best songs on this new album then thats sad. On the other hand The new Hagar- Chickenfoot is awesome.

                              They never release the best song. The sound is so bad, even for an easy song, you can't tell what it sounds like. M Anthony is an average bass player and his vocals can be filled , if needed by one of ten thousand studio backups.

                              Any VH to me is better than no VH. Or you can crank up the crap on the radio and jam. lol
