  • Van Halen ain't jack fucking shit without Michael Anthony man. I think everyone took him for granted and never realized how HUGE a piece he was to the classic Van Halen sound. The guy had one of the heaviest, pounding bass sounds every laid down. Fucking Wolfgang is a HUGE piece as well, but not for the music, just the size of that pork-rind eating pig.

  • Screw "Jump" and "Panama". "Unchained" is the #1 VH song of all time! It's where it's at! Too bad it wasn't longer than 3:45, but it still rocks hard! Also, they need to play some songs they didn't play on the 2007-08 tour. "Women in Love", is a good one. "Fools" is another one. "Take Your Whiskey Home" would be nice to hear. And of course, all the other great VH songs they haven't played in ages.

  • Whatever people will say about Wolfgang,

    He has got the best job in the world!!! (thanks to the coolest dad ever)

  • God..Alex is such a horrible drummer...

  • Dave and Sammy people unite!Eddie IS Van Halen!Always will be.Ya gotta admit there were some good tunes with all 3 singers!

  • hey! you can't smoke in Staples Center Eddie!!!! haha

  • How come daves not jumping around in spandex?

  • @lazercannoncheck Hard to jump when you're 53. It'll be even harder to jump when they go out on the "A Different Kind of Truth" Tour, as Dave will be 58 soon, and Eddie will be a year younger at 57. It won't be rockers with walkers, though. Still, they'll PLAY "Jump". LOL

  • Only Hagar could talk about Eddie's alcohol troubles yet get rich off peddling his brand of booze then writing a book about it all to make even more bucks off it all... and keep a straight face doing so playing the "nice guy".

  • @AetroyayorteA congrats, that's the dumbest fucking thing I've heard all day, and I hear some dumb shit. So selling tequila means you can't point out a fucked up alcoholic when you see one? then you complain about him making tons of money like some whiny-ass occupy walstreet douche. shut the fuck up. Dave is still good, but Sammy is cool too.

  • Pumpkinhead has Bertinelli's fat-can genes.

  • Mike "Hair Plugs" Anthony was against the Dave Reunion in 1996. In Fact, he said he was even MORE against Dave coming back than Ed or Al.

    Mike is Sammy's fat, midget stooge.

    Fuck Mike and fuck any clod that crys about his sorry ass being kicked out of Van Halen. Go watch Chickenfoot at a dive bar near you.

  • @MrVHWolf ya...besides...Mark Stone was the original bassist so ..ya...good riddance Mikey :)-~

  • Just love this song - has been my ringtone for more years than I care to recall. Me and a mate are flying from London to Chicago next month just for their gig - last time I saw them was supporting AC/DC at Donnington in 1984 (yes I really am that old) - even old gits like me can get stupidly excited about seeing Van Halen - has been way too long

  • @TheWrensta That must have been a killer concert...Saw them in Tacoma Wa. with Black Sabbath in 82?...don't worry..you're still young...:)-~

  • This maybe the best version of UNCHAINED? n yes ive heard the OAKLAND show , this is brilliant!

  • I don't know what's the big deal about Wolfgang... to be honest I would give anything to be EVH son hahaha but getting in the musical stuff.. hes pretty good at filling with those bass lines and who knows maybe the new album will rock the shit put of us

  • Pretty good live version of this tune. Better than usual. In the earlier years they would get pretty sloppy often times. The mighty Van Halen!

  • they're all fucked up in the head

  • Ed looks so much healthier now than he does here. I know he got clean during this tour but still. This guy looks like he's at deaths door without the long hair

  • Dave looks great !

  • Love the props, displays a couple sets of plastic chains.

    Pink Floyd is jealous.

  • Hey Dave, Liberace wants his jacket back!

  • GROW YOUR HAIR BACK YOU FUCKING FAGS. IM SO SICK OF THESE 80S BANDS SHAVEING THERE HEAD TRYING TO LOOK LIKE BANDS TODAY. WHO FUCKING CARE ABOUT FAG BANDS TODAY THAT CANT SING. CARE ABOUT THE FANS THAT CARE ABOUT YOU AND LOOK LIKE HOW A ROCK BAND SHOUD LOOK LIKE FUCK

  • @kissarmy110936

    No shit dude and Roth looks and acts like a clown-------------In fact the whole band is a joke? They used to kick some ass and now they are embarassing to watch.

  • @fishinman2009 im pretty sure that dave can't grow it back. he was balding when he got in his late 30's and 40's. wouldn't surprise me if that was a hairpiece

  • @fishinman2009 You do realize that Roth's stage act is exactly what he was like back in the early 80's, right? I'm also so tired of reading people complaining about him not singing the songs the way he "used to" when he sang the songs like this back then too!

  • @briandrum1 Ya know man your right. It is good to see a great band from the 70's and 80's get back together and play some good tunes. They all look happy to be united again and doing good. they are not in their 20's and 30's anymore, hell neither am I, HA HA,but they do sound pretty good.

  • @fishinman2009 Go n watch motley crue then.......

  • @kissarmy110936 ...Eddie currently has long hair.

  • @kissarmy110936 You caring about their HAIR is GAY as !!!! , who cares about hair? Being a KISSARMY fan id imagine u may be gay , KISS KISS paul stanley wld luuuv u!

  • I really wish they'd grow their hair back

  • @scottm43211 Gay too ,

  • Mikey sounds great. Where they hiding him? Oh, he's on tape...

  • @myampisbroken

    Mikey went on to better things. He is with a band called Chicken Foot that consists of Joe Satriani, Sammy Hagar and Chad Smith.

    Much much tighter and mature band.

  • Does Dave know where he is? He seems lost...in his mind.

  • I don't think dad should be smoking in front of his son :-p

  • I saw VH in 1982, 1984 and 2007. They kicked my ass every time. The end!

  • These guys are going give rolling stones a run for there money jamming into there 70's

  • I have to say, that this might very well be VH in their prime! Back in the 70's/80's they were usually drunk and fucked up. Ed is playing better than I have ever heard him (at the '04 show in Boise, he was a wreck that couldnt even play). As much as I think that Sammy is the better singer, vocally, DLR is the better fit in the band and his lyrics blow away Sams. cant wait to see 'em!!!

  • Gotta love the hair plugs Diamond Dave has.. still sportin' the 2 tone BS! Bet he's still waiting for those pube implants.

  • Someone please get Wolfie a cheeseburger ... he's starving, poor kid!

  • DLR acts like he's afraid to move,,,,,,,like he might crack or break from plastic surgery?????????

  • ELVIS- Liberace- Evel Kanevil. what the hell was dave trying for anyway. I guess we should be thankfull he gave up the spandex. That kid on the bass "wolfie" Jeez i bet his mom has some german watch woman backstage pushing off any horney teens that might go for a pugsly cookie and ice cream soda junkie like him. "drugs and booze and woman backstage for all" But not for wolfie. "Take a shower bruth your teeth and do your homework and then right to bed on the bus Kid!!!"

  • David Lee Roth......not cool since 1984......what a fucking clown

  • Dr. Rockso.

  • When is Wolfie gonna do his first Jenny Craig commercial?

  • junk..wouldnt go to this show if i won it off the radio!

  • Who's that pudgy high-schooler on bass?

  • @hastyberford His name is Wolfgang and that is Eddie Van Halens Son he is like 18 years old

  • @Louisvilleslugger11 - That child like passion is his colitis acting up again.

  • make that kid go back to school and get Michael Anthony back!

  • @ebayisajoke I think that bridge is burned dude

  • @ebayisajoke

    No way man he is much better with Chicken Foot.

    Sammy, Cool Joe and Chad Smith

  • The bassist is crap. Bring back Michael Anthony.

  • @Hertsman50 But Michael Anthony IS in the band... well at least his voice on digital samplers. Come on, that lard-ass actually singing. That's the most lip syncing I have seen since Milli Vanilli.

  • @Sirynx77 You are talking bollocks

  • I didn't know they got Falco to be lead singer.

  • S W E E T !!!

  • i like it. Yeah it doesn't sound as good as old van halen but at least they are still together and playing for fans. If you don't like it then dont see the new vids, don't buy their new album and just live in the past.

  • Mike needs to be in the band for it to be complete. He earned his position.

  • Eddie raised Wolfgang on soda pop and potato chips, apparently.

  • @MrDoggerDog I think that its more that he got his moms metabolism, lol. But yea, hes a chubby little bastard. Ed looks so healthy here. I thought for sure that he would be dead by now, based on his apperance in '06. Good job Ed!!! His playing here is fucking ass kicking!

  • @MrDoggerDog Gets it from his mother.

  • @MrDoggerDog he'll loose the weight when he starts using hard drugs....

  • @MrDoggerDog At least it's better that cocaine and cigarettes ... Well, maybe not !!!

  • @MrDoggerDog Its apart of having a dad with millions upon millions in his bank account... you eat good, and when it tastes good you eat alot.

  • @MrDoggerDog see people get more jealous every minute

  • It's good, but it's not vintage Van Halen without Michael Anthony. Hope he's back for next year's tour.

  • Ed should bust out the "Unchained" guitar, im sure he still has it somewhere....or at least just stick with the red/white/black striped guitar.

  • This is about the healthiest that EVH has looked in many years! I think that in addition to boozing, he was doing meth, with how skinny and unkempt he looked. I saw them on the 2004 tour with Sammy in Boise, and Ed was shit. Great to see him cleaned up!!!

  • God, can Dave stop smiling...like he's on meds...he's so happy to not be playing amusment parks and county fairs anymore. Come on brother, just rock with some attitude again!

  • @wink853 dude dave has always been like that lol. Dave runs on fun, happiness, and over-confidence

  • @wink853 Don't forget, he was a great Vegas lounge act. :)

  • God I hate how Dave sings live! Changing the melody and all! Vince Neil is also like that!!!

  • Comment removed

  • the real van halen fuck sammy and all the haters 

  • eddies living the longest ...whos with me?

  • WHOS THE FAT CHICK PLAYING BASS?

  • @aguilar69 Wolfgang Van Halen, Eddie's son ... :/

  • Tom Hanks on guitar, Bob Denver on drums, and some little fat kid on bass. wtf?

  • I'm sorry, but this is flat-out disgraceful. I know, I know. It's Van Halen. And yes, they're one of my all-time favorite bands. And yes, I think Van Halen 1 will forever go down as one of the top ten rock-n-roll albums of all time. But c'mon! Call a spade a spade. Alcohol, drugs and arrogance have destroyed this band. They haven't come out with anything new in ten years and anything worth listening to in twenty. And this bastardized version of the band is simply a pitiful embarrasment.

  • @lucas2718 i know what u mean my friend, i am 47 years old and have seen everyone. my first concert in 1977 was kiss, i was a huge kiss fan when i was a kid, along with alice cooper, deep purple black sabbath i listened to on 8 track tape by the way. saw vanhalen in 1981 1982 1983 and 1984 me wise magic on the greatest hits disc that came out about 20 years ago was a kick ass tune. been waiting years for them to put out a cd. doubt it will happen. i have 30 VH bootlegs with some live and studio

  • Dave looks a robot on stage, Sammy is so much better

  • When did Valerie Bertinelli start playing bass for VH!?

  • Speakin of Sigfreid and Roy, What does Sigreid and the lion have in common????

    They both know what Roy tastes like

  • no mikey, no likey VH just isn't VH with wolfie on bass.

  • I hope Dave's staying away from large white tigers.

  • Dave and Eddie are in pretty good shape for their age. But they both need to let their hair grow back a little. Eddie kinda looks like the homeless guy that sits in the corner at the bar I hang out in.

  • @atomicpunk48 I wonder what kinda shape Wolfie will be in when he's 1/2 his dad's age...

  • @ThisIzTheEdge Yeah, really. If I was living that kind of life at his age, I'd be dead by now.

  • Ummm...Dave seems kind of lost.

  • Who's the fat kid playing bass?

  • @conduct623 I thought that was Wolfgang...Eddie's son.

  • ha... just saw an old picture of dave with big hairy chest... I wonder what happened there :) ... still love the old van halen... runnin' with the devil man !!

  • the whole time dave is very excited and happy then wolfgang has his one line and angrily, with no expression says- "dave... give me a break..." ...wow would u look at that natural van halen stage presence...

  • Dave looks so fucked up! He has more hair on his side burns than he does on his head. LOL

  • is that siegfried or roy singing?

  • 2:35 a metally retarded kid singing van halen ;D hahahaha

  • @guitargod9000 nothing funnier than unfortunately afflicted children .

  • Jeez...I'm sure Wolfy is a nice kid, but get Michael Anthony back.

  • Don't mean to come across as gay, but Roth was still fucking cut. Fucker kept in shape!

  • Dave looks like Niles from Fraizer now. Hahaha

  • Glad I saw them in 82. I was spared this.

  • Jesus, what appened to Dave? He used to be the definition of frontman. Now it just loks like he's putting on a front.

  • @dharmaseed I know,right!? He looks scared actually. Maybe it had been so long that his confidence was shot.

  • What a hot mess Van Halen has become.

    

  • EXACTLY, AFNCO1. AMEN !!

  • Ad some freckles and Dave Is Howdy Doody. Not the character. The real puppet.

  • You can always see that child like passion in Dave's face when he's singing live. Definitely the best VH singer

  • Dave looks like lazy vegas singer, maybe he's sober now haha. Haven't seen full show though....

  • laugh all u want the "guy that looks like a vegas act" made this band cuz without him they became journey with a really good guitar player.

  • should have showed eddie more (a straight member of the band).

  • That fat fuck of a kid just doesn't belong. This sucks.

  • his fucking kid sux

  • Hi, I have 1/2 a tounge and still smoke

  • ziegfried and roy had a yard sale after the misshap, dave jumped on it, he did the same when Porter wagner passed

  • @guitargold77 lol- now THAT'S funny dude!

  • fuck that fatass wolfgang!! he dont belong there, bring michael back

  • @soxhawks72 I've heard that they "piped in" the background harmonies.....it's wasn't even Wolf singing them.

  • @LT9856 I heard that too, but with the bass parts too

  • @LT9856 Dumbass

  • @Wilkster5150 Don't be so hard on yourself....you're not that much of a dumbass.

  • @LT9856 i think it's Wolfgang, can't you hear the squeaky voice over Ed and Dave.

  • I love the original VH.But good god Dave really sucks live!! I have seen them 4 times.3 with Dave and 1 with Sammy. Sammy definitely cared more about doing the songs RIGHT. Dave still doesn't even know his own damn lyrics!! Just like the old days.

  • who's the fat kid playing with VH?

  • @GuitarJammer28 Thats eddie van halen's son.

  • @GuitarJammer28 someone that made 100 times the money you will make in your life, by him playing in this one song, is who that is. 

  • Seriously, of course Wolfie is nervous, he's 16/17, In the presence of Rock GODS, including his own dad. He's a member of the LEGENDARY VAN HALEN, and he's chubby. I'm sure he can play circles around most of us on bass and guitar, oh, and drums. Come on dudes, give the kid a break, one break, comin' up!

  • Horrible!

  • @baek607 I couldn't agree more, this ruins my memories of a killer tune.

  • Wolfie is doing pretty damn good. But, Mike was who helped stamp the VH sound with his bass riffs and backups. Hey, it's family with Eddie and his son up there and in the studio, that's really cool. But on the other hand, I do respect and miss Mike and what he did for the the band. Things change and time moves on.

  • Thumbs up....... if you had long hair in the 80's......

    .....and every girl you met..... felt obligated to get on her knees and trace every wrinkle of your nut sack with her tongue.......

    God bless those filthy fucking whores....

    METAL!!!!!!

    .......Even the Jesus girls...needed a mouth full of ball butter....

  • EDDIE .........YOU HAVE TO REALIZE YOURE A DOUCHE SMELLY !

  • How come Dave's got short hair and looks like the lion tamer at the Mirage??

  • @Andreas748 lol

    

  • @Andreas748 LOL!

  • "gimme a break dave"

    n1 wolfgang

    timing was perfect

  • Comment removed

  • Geez what a bunch of tards! Bitching back and forth about a band that is so egotistical they cant even put out an album. Dave was good, Sammy is better but Eddie is not the best. Deal with the reality.

  • What's up with Wolfie? He looks fucking depressed. Maybe if you pretend to have some fun, you'll have some by accident fatso.

  • @RossBayCult Hey dipshit do you think you couldve played this caliber of music in front of 20,000 people when you were 16 yrs old and not been nervous? You probably would ve shit yer pants AND puked yer guts out.

    And Wolf's weight doesnt have anything to do with his ability to play idiot.

  • THAT'S FUNNY AS HELL! If you pay attention at 0:57 sec. into the vid. Eddie pulls the slip on Dave & when he looks over his right shoulder.... Eddies on the other side of the stage! Lol.

  • That fatass sucks ass!!

  • they look great for a bunch of grandpas

    most guys that age are pot bellied pigs.

  • Sammy Hagar once sucked my big black dick behind a dumpster . . .

  • I have to point out that Eddie and Wolfgang's vocals blend beautifully. I would argue that it sounds smoother than with MA. just my opinion.

  • @chimptor50 That's because they're fake/pre-recorded. Wolfie doesn't sound THAT much like Roy Orbison in real life!

  • stop ripping on wolfgang

    Micheal left with Sammy

    its not Van Halens fault

    This concert rules and all the other ones from the reunion tour

    GO VAN HALEN

  • Someone please get that pudgy little Wolfie off the stage! He's not worthy to re-string Michael Anthony's bass!!

  • It's been almost 4 years since this tour-where's the new music already!?!?

  • diamond david lee roth & the sweat bros. VANHALEN are gods. samHALEN was jst a passing fancy. VANHALEN there is no comparrison

  • keepin' the song strong

  • Thank you dgargoylius for the best quality footage of 07-08 VH tour!!

  • i like both line ups sammy was good in vh and roth was kick ass as well and i can not wait till the new album comes out

  • I saw VH on their first tour June 1979 in Kalamazoo Mich-Unbelievable. Then saw them again April 1980 at a sold out Joe Lewis arena UNBELIEVABLE! It was so GREAT to see Diamond Dave again (2008). Not the same ol Diamond Dave, but still brought back SOOOO many memories. So many fans at the Florida shows (2008) were old time rockers, the shows were sold out, and the place(s) just ROCKED. Thank you VH, for the memories!

  • Favorite VH pieces include this one, And the Cradle Will Rock, and Cathedral, which has an ethereal quality which is absolutely beautiful. Never been to one of their shows, but I would like to, if the touring continues. Not sure what their plans are, but hope they continue to get out there.

  • No offense wolfie, but find some stage presence! Have a beer and enjoy yourself or bring back Mikey!

  • It is only a matter of time before fulfills his destiny...Vegas lounge act. He doesn't look or act the part of a real Van Halen front man anymore. Actually, I just realized that Dave is dressed like that Sigfrey and Roid guy from Vegas. See, the destiny IS almost fulfilled.

  • @mjm8686 a doubt thats the only thing he has in common with sigfrey and roy...lol

  • @Pat9201 ---- I bet the thing you and Sammy share in common is that you're both in love with his dick & nuts

  • @mjm8686 its called time do you really expect him o jump like a mad man hes 57

  • the kids a fat slob, look at the shape roth and eddie are in,were,s mike anthony?

  • Here is my honest opinion about Van Halen ---

    David Lee Roth = COOLEST ROCK GOD of ALL TIME

    Sammy Hagar = JUST A FAT and UGLY CUNT

  • David and Eddie both look great, no big belly like older men tend to get. I do miss Dave's hairy chest and stomach, he shouldn't shave it off.

  • This is good!!! Some of the footage from this tour kinda sucks, but this Rocks! They are currently in the studio with Dave and I can't wait to hear em. My sister saw em in 07 in Reno, all I got was a shirt, lol, hope to catch next tour and hope Dave works hard at his vocals, he needs to concentrate his efforts on VH and drop the paramedic kick. One of the best Rock bands of all time, WITH DAVE!!!

  • dam nice seats

  • at 2:28 wolfgang looks heaps nervous

  • Van Halen is Roth as singer period!! Love sam and even gary but not in halen

  • wtf is wolfgangs problem? he looks like gary cherone when he knew he was being fired. especially at his turn to say the lyrics

  • Thats nice to see dave up there again but the fat kid has to go. Thats lame. Getting rid of Michael Anthony was stupid.

  • @obbierayukacslay Are you aware who the kid is? Cause if not you should look it up

  • It's kind of impressive that after all these years, late nights, cocaine, alcohol, cheeseburgers, cigarettes, and whatever else, ol Dave & Edward are still in pretty good shape.

  • This is the ''only'' Van Halen
