Van Halen live on Jimmy Kimmel...

[MIB41]

I have to agree on Roth...he's now worse than Axel Rose...he should retire.

But I think Eddie still riffs pretty good.

Bring back Sammy Hagar, baby...

YES! Let's do it. Sammy still has it.

YES! Let's do it. Sammy still has it.

That fella doesn't age, does he?!?

I just watched the clips from "Ellen." I thought Dave was in better form there... maybe he was just thrown off on Kimmel by getting his nose sliced open by that microphone. But the best moment was on their performance of "Dance the Night Away." On Kimmel Dave pulled a girl out of the audience for an "unscripted" dance session on the stage. I thought that was kind of neat, actually. Then on Ellen, Dave pulled one of Ellen's "production assistants" on to the stage to dance with him... and it was the same girl. I was LMAO.

I think its all good. Bring them all back together. They are Rock legends !!! Still reliving my youth. Rock music and re-megos. Doesn't get any better then this !!

I knew it was over for Roth as soon as I saw Van Halen getting introduced at the '96 MTV Awards. The other 3 guys looked fine, but Diamond Dave had his pants up to his sternum and was walking around in a daze with his mouth open like he just escaped from Belleview. My wife walked in the room, saw Dave and asked if he recently had a stroke. It was a very awkward appearance. At one point, Dave cuts off Eddie at the mike so he can address the audience. Eddie had to walk away to calm himself; probably thinking, "Here we go again."

That is awesome. I love the original line-up, and I can deal with Dave in the comforts of a studio. Live? No way, give me Sammy and Mike. I can visit the urinal during When it's Love....and Love Walks in.....and Why Can't This be Love. Van Hagar is much more in tune with my bladder needs.

This is why we'll probably never see a Steve Perry/Journey reunion.

YES! Let's do it. Sammy still has it.

Oh yeah...Hagar friggin rules, baby.

BTW...here's his take on Van Halen now...not pretty...

I've always considered the Roth led Van Halen the "true" Van Halen. In all but a few examples I think when a band loses the original lead singer they should just change the name of the band if they are going to continue on with a new singer (Yes, I realize Eddie and Alex were where the name came from but still).
1984 is one of the best albums of the 80's in any genre (IMHO) but I haven't been interest in anything David Lee Roth's done since then, and I sure as hell don't want to see these guys in 2015.

Roth cut his nose on the Jimmy Kimmel show and had to stop in the middle of the song...
