Hermit Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hahaha, well, I got no problem with that picture! Diamond Dave was a total chick magnet sex god back in the day. In that gif in your sig he looks.. well.. totally... TOTALLY.. gay. ..just sayin. Anyway.. I"ll be seeing Van Halen in 8 days! I can't wait!! :cheer: I saw VH in 1982 and 1984 (and DLR band in 1999-ish). The 1982 show (Women and Children First tour) was my very first real rock concert and it made one helluva lasting fucking impression on me. It was amazing! Drunk though I was at that show, today I still remember bits of it as vividly as if it was yesterday. The 1984 tour was awesome too.. as was the DLR band in 99. [i love 'Eat Em and Smile'. I think its a jammin' rock album!]. But 1982.. that was sumthin special! This upcoming show is gonna be a real throwback for me. I'm sure Wolfgang will do fine,.. but I know I'm gonna miss Michael Anthony. still though.. ..I'm psyched! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoneFishing Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I saw Van Halen in the 80's at Davids greatest moments used to love them but I lost respect for them when I finnaly figured out the guys with the ego problems was not David as I had always thought but Alex and Eddie they should not have disd thier long time band mate Michael Anthony and replaced him with a son.....they could of had him play a partial or something..... just saw Sammy the other night with Michael Anthony he rocked but he always does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rover Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I hear it's very loud..... I hope that translates to the nosebleed / upper deck section where I might be sitting when they come to Dallas..... if I end up going.. If they make a concert video for this Tour, I would appreciate an isolated camera on each member, or at the very least an isolated camera on Eddie.... so I can focus on everything he is doing, and, so, that I do not have to watch most of the lame routine that DLR is doing. That way, I can hear DLR, but don't have to watch his schtik. The way DLR fawns over Eddie..... gee Dave.... I would think you'd let the paying customers do their own "fawning".... I'm not 'paying' you to do it!! Maybe I'll just get the DVD when it comes out, and turn the sound down, and listen . . . . Because the likely hood of any concert video being shot like a fucking MTV video, with all of the fast cuts, and such, is --very-- likely !!

Just want to interject here.... 1980 invasion tour (in support of Women and children...) 1981 world tour (In support of Fair Warning) 1982 Hide your sheep tour (In support of Diver down) Damn drunk Hermitz round here.....probably was at a Foghat show instead...

spatdrastik Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I saw them in 1980 and it was horrible..Roth was so drunk he was falling down and screwing up just about every song, to the point they had to start a bunch of them over. He actually sang atomic punk while the band played something else(I guess they were as sick of it as anyone by that point)...I was glad when that fiasco was over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rover Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I see it like this..... Led Zeppelin were a world class recording and performing band. Van Halen were a "party band". "Any" band can be a "party band" in concert. Nothing extra-special about that... On Record VH had some killer songs, most of which will not be represented on their Best Of: 1978-1984 coming out March 27th, which will cover ONLY their commerical radio hits, covers, and MTV videos. There really should have been a second CD in that Best Of Pkg, one titled "The Best Of The Rest"....

I used to have that lion concert tee, I think I wore it for school pictures the next year....my mom was so pleased..... Anyway, no problem on the correction....I saw them once a year from Van Halen II thru 1984. Great times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilovejimmypage92 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Well, as for Roth being drunk that time, bless 'im He's so sweet! And as for the gayness in my sig, how would you feel about me posting a dozen pictures of him that DO do him justice?

Footsteps of Dawn Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Man...I went to this restaurant last night, and the people in the booth next to us had just come from the Van Halen show and were talking about it to the waiter. So then the waiter says that the band (minus Eddie) had all come in there the night before! Yep, so I missed seeing Van Halen up close & personal by a day.

rockthing Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Yeah, they aren't coming withing 12 time zones of me, but I heard their opening night in Charlotte and that shixx was killer. 5 nights later it sounded a bit routine, but I'm sure every group has those nights. Last week I played the Charlotte opener for a good friend and we were both duly blown away. Him for the first time and me again. If the rest of the tour lives up to the opening night (the opening night!!!) this is an amazing tour. fwiw I also heard Sammy and Michael's sets from around the same time. Very different path those two have taken. Mike's Immigrant Song was interesting. I dug their show too, but man the new VH show is impressive. Eddie is still amazing. incredible and reminded me why everyone either wanted to be like Mike (Jordan) or be like Eddie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Yes! There's Van Halen thread already! well, I love Van Halen, and they are my favourite band, and oh wow, I love David Lee Roth Sammy Hagar sucks. And of course they will record with Diamond Dave!!! And they WILL come to the UK (And I WILL see them) I hope your kidding. Sammy Hagar took them to a level they could have never gotten to with Roth. I'm one of the few who prefer Van Hagar's refined sound. Plus, Sam is a great musician, while Diamond Dave (great frontman, great energy) was kind of an assclown. Not a big fan of the Van Halen's either. Ed is a guitar god, but the guy needs to get a fucking clue sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
