  • Diamond Dave is the ultimate Van Halen front man!

  • Dave is TERRIBLE live ! Doesn't sing and blabs through the songs , Hagar sings and is better  live !

  • My mom and dad seen them live back around this time and she said it was one of the worst concerts she ever seen. David was a complete ass and disrespectful to even his fans and of course just plain sounded horrible

  • i was working security backstage. snuck off to check out the show. i was like wtf ? dave was afu ! i remember seeing them in 78 with boston black sabbath and they stole the show!

  • i vew never see vanhalen how it was back in the old daDES

  • To bad they only sing have the songs and change the lyrics.

  • sober or trashed, diamond dave is still 1000 times more interesting than eddie.

  • 6th gear at ~3:30

    ed's guitar fitness was pretty good at this point

  • This song used to get everyone movin at a party in the 80s...man...good times...

  • Yeah Dave's lit up like a Christmas tree for this one. Romeo's Delight he forgets most of the lyrics as well. For me this is the VH lineup, I never got into V Hagar but just from a musician's standpoint I can see why they got pretty frustrated w Dave at times. Live VH with Dave can be disappointing but VH-1984 are some of the best raw rock albums ever put out. And of course they broke out right in the height of the disco craze opening the floodgates for hard rock bands and the LA scene.

  • at least they got to see eddie go out and shred. roth is terrible in this vid man.

  • I was there at the Concert that Sunday....Roth was very drunk and missed many lines...he drank 3 bottles of Jack Daniels..Eddie was a little pissed off at him...but all in all it was an awesome concert. Love Van Halen...have to say Scorpions appealed to the crowd the most..

  • dlr barely winged it

  • Crazy. They got a million and a half to go out this fucked up and play some songs.

  • YEAH!! High speed!!! Love it.

  • Don't get me wrong...I like Van Halen better than Van Hagar...but, lyrically, most Van Halen songs have very little to them and some flat don't make any sense and just are random words strung together....and DLR couldn't even seem to remember the very little that there is to this song!?!?

  • they weren't that fucked up.. you can't do this wasted. yes blow helps , but you gotta be somewhat sober.

  • @loutcb lol @ blow helps..indeed it does...

  • 13 people like Gary Cherone

  • Man call me old fashion,, but boy,, do I miss the 20th Century..

  • Right on, showstopper.

    Thanks to youtube, I can see my favorite band as a teen live. I have to say: they suck live as musicians Because of Roth. The typical heavy metal/rock concert at that time, as you know, was just a giant 80s metal party, and Van Halen was the band providing music. I would not have gone to the concert for the music had I seen this. In fact, probably would have stayed home. Because of Roth.

  • @jokerman326 Hey, Joker, I feel ya bro'. Van Halen is my all time favorite band, but Roth just wings it live sometimes. If you want to hear their best, stick to the studio album. Concerts are about the experience, not the quality.

  • Man, I love Roth-era Van Halen, but it needs to be said to the casual youtuber just checking things out - DO NOT JUDGE ROTH-ERA VAN HALEN BY THIS PERFORMANCE!!! They were all fucked up on this night, especially Dave. Go ahead and check out Oakland '81 or Largo '82...or...well, other people can fill in the blanks...but the good shows will melt your face off. This isn't one of them, though.

    Have a drink on me, rockers...

  • Getting paid the amount they were, you'd think Dave woulda took this a little more seriously. Ed and Mike saved the show vocally. It always amazed me that Ed was able to play those tricky, syncopated guitar riffs and sing harmony.

  • Roth sucks dirty dog balls. They improved when they tossed him to the curb.

  • @thegermanprostitute I disagree, part of the fun of Van Halen is their party attitude, in my opinion at least. I will say he sucks live though. I guess its just fun to watch him try to perform in all of his drunkenness. You have to give him some respect though. Van Halen may have not existed to the extent they do if it wasn't for Roth. He's a good fucking frontman. Aside from the fact he can't handle his liquor...

  • Man dave was off his game on this song huh

  • None stop talker what a rocker

  • this is what he doooooooooooooooo ...........

  • This was not their best but they wernt even on tour they only did this beacause they got 1.5 million dollars

  • @ManiacGuitar98 you know how much blow you could back then for that much money?!?

  • whaT a pain in the but those mic cords used to be !

  • 2:12 Alex chugging a beer and still keeping the beat

  • sammy could never match the energy VH had with Roth, thats what sammy fans never could understand

  • I'm glad I saw them in 81 & 82 before the booze & blow got the best of them. When I saw them they were the best live band on the planet. I love VH but this sucks, they're too wasted to play, not cool.....

  • YOUR RIGHT IT WASN'T THEIR BEST PERFORMANCE A LITTLE ON THE LAME SIDE DAVE DIDN,T SEEM TO PUT MUCH EFFORT INTO IT . AND ALSO THE SOUND DEPT GUY'S SUCK. ...WHEN TRIUMPH WAS ON THE SOUND WAS AWESOME...

  • Lol. Not one of their best performances, but it had its moments. This is what happens when you hit the stage cold, and everyone is coked to the sky, but hey, its still, now and forever, the best live band that ever was.

  • after days in the hot blazing San Bernadino sun with little or no shade, we had nothing better to do than be as wasted as we could all get lol... the whole crowd was lit up like Christmas.. we hardly noticed Dave's ego was wasted.. im sure on Schlitz n Jack.. and white powdery stuffs... As far as I see it ?? Scorpions absolutely BLEW them away that night and were on top of their game. SO glad I was at this entire event.. it was the woodstock of my generation...

  • @IDzy Maybe as a band but the Scorpions' guitarists couldn't touch Edward's playing and chops. They were solid and good but not like Ed.

  • Comment removed

  • Sorry. Love Van Halen but they blew this night. Bunch of drunks with no respect for the event. Look up Trumph for the best band this day easy. The killed! Clean hard set...unlike these guys.

  • i dressed up like DLR for idol day or something during homecomming week in 1982

    it was the only day in high school i felt popular

  • very wise observation,..

  • David Lee Roth was the only singer for VH that is why the early stuff is classic, they had that chemistry and ambition. With Hagar they were entertaining but the edge had gone.

  • eddie sounds good even if he makes mistakes- but maybe he doesn't make any :D

  • This is like watching Sobriety X.

  • Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, David Lee Roth, and Michael Anthony = The True Party and Rock Group.

  • Dave was somewhere else.

  • @mookie1127 Dave was there; he was simply an asshole in concert and in life. He purposely ad libbed, sang falsetto, or did not sing at all. I saw Van Halen on what should've been their best tour, 1981's, 'Fair Warning', in Providence, RI. David Lee Roth tried his best to sabotage and ruin the show, and he nearly succeeded. However the musicians kicked ass and the background vocals were great.  DLR couldn't remember the words? There's hardly any words to remember!

  • If only the VH bros could have found a legit singer before they ever recorded their first song. DLR = FAIL. Sammy, good for his own gig, but not good for VH.

    Dave deserved a daily beating for his clownish ways.

  • the band & the legend that is VANHALEN. even wen fucked up beyond their own wildest dreams can still make a real blaster of a noise

  • In regards to albums, I'd have to say my favorite is Fair Warning, followed by the debut, then 1984...wait, I realized I REALLY can't pick a true favorite from the Roth-era...damn.

  • I agree with both of the posters above. These were the good ol days of concerts when bands actually performed .

  • dave straight lit up

  • VH was playing clubs on the sunset strip going back to 1976, so with Dave they played together for 8 hard yrs, recorded a lot of great albums and they toured longer than any other bands at that time. This show was a homecoming, and they headlined, and the wieght of the drinking, drugs and excess success started creeping up around the time of this show, but they did tour in 1984 with Dave successfully.

  • were getting paid over a million dollars to play this show? well there's only one thing to do then...get fucked up to the point where our singer misses every cue!

  • Gakked on blow, yo!

  • man i hope van halen goes on tour again

  • ed waz done w/dave. ed was gonna quit the year b4. genes immons told ed 2 stick it out.

  • horrible lighting Jesus!

  • You can't judge DLR era VH from this show - everybody knows they were all exceptionally fucked up, even by their standards, on this night. But after checking out all the youtube clips I can find, it seems that a bit of the edge was lost after 82. Seems like '81-'82 was the peak. Just an opinion, of course, but I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I still like the DLR era to the end, though - like Hot for Teacher at Donnington, for instance.

  • Diamond Dave was soooo drunk that evening, it was funny as hell. No biggie everyone was pretty toasted after a long hot day of partying and rockin.

  • THIS is the reason people used to go to concerts. This is rock and roll.

    Sonically, and attitude wise, nothing matches this yet. Nothing.

  • @TNCelt1 ur nuts. They sound like garbage here. I saw them live and this is CRAP bro. Bunch of drunks. Frankly they were an embarassment to the event.

  • @aitraining Ok...I've seen them live as well. I didn't expect them to show up terribly clear minded, however, DLR put on on unbelievable solo shows 100% sober that killed...anyway...as past touring musician I would challenge anyone to put a cover band together and play a set of any 5 original songs from their first 4 albums...and do them well. Remember, nobody says: "I went to HEAR (any band) in concert last night..." It's always SEE....

  • @TNCelt1 I love VH Bro and saw them twice. But they were not in shape to play this show. Anyone with ears can tell that.

  • @TNCelt1 Also, most of the people "couldn't see".  There was like a half a mil people here so sound DID matter. No one had light shows here. VH were not good this night.

  • @TNCelt1 : Although I am from that world and understand what you are saying about the drama on stage, etc... I believe you are sounding old... there are some GREAT concerts out there! Look around... altho, yes this was steller... I believe you are caught up in an era...

  • Van Halen could do Mary had a little lamb,and it would kick ass.

  • @22reTOYOTA SRV did that haha

  • as much as i absolutely luv diamond dave & th sweat bros. the clash & the sray cats put on bettr shows @ us. despite all th chicken fried horse shit his high holy daveness spewed about the clash they wer stll bettr. th proof is in th vid. VH r stll gods. i hope they hav enuf blo 4 th nxt tour

  • Sammy Hagar = CUM DUMP FOR QUEER BOYS

    David Lee Roth =  COOLEST & FUNNIEST ROCKER EVER

  • What the heck happened at 3:08? "If anyone wants to take their clothes off...let me hear you say YEAHHH!!......opsbmpfombpdf." What a concert; we may never see anything like that again :(

  • Alex is playing way too fast for them to get all the vocals in. I'm sure blow had nothing to do with it.

    Haha.

  • dont want to sound like an old man...im not, but damn life used to be sooo much more free ans easy...tailgaiting before US festival or Cal Jams...tickets from Ticketron were only 15 to 20 bucks..parking was 5 bucks..its wasnt a wallet rape then but rather it was about having fun...Blonde honeys all around, our folks trusted us and we took advatage of that,but not too much....bring back the late seventies and early eighties rock and roll scene...it never got better than that.....cheers!

  • @flippyflyer right on dude,i`m 40 and we used to half to go to the mall,ticketron and spend the night in line,and party all night long,a little crank helped and it was just a big party all night,we would party with everyone there.it was almost as much fun as the show,then the show would be like 4 weeks later,the computer has wrecked that,these young kids don`t even know what the are missing buying on-line,half the fun was waiting in lne all night long,computers have wrecked alot of things

  • Dave was soooooooo hammered on coke that day he arrived 10 mins before his chopper did........not a stellar performance, but when youre being paid $1,000,000 to play a 60 min set in front of 300,000+ people, they could have played the worst gig in the world and still had em begging for more..... I saw the interview DLR did with Mark Goodman beforehand..........totally off his feckin gourd

    !!! but thats what makes him 'diamond David Lee Roth'!!!

  • my dad was there and he said the were hammered

  • Sammy and Dave = Van Halen... I'm not too sure bout Gary... but Sammy and Dave tunes have changed the world and our lives, which made the world i wasn't around to see a rockin' place.

  • @Baseballer027 wrong dude,u did miss alot,like i posted,waiting in line all night long,sometimes for 2 days and partying with everyone there,it was awesome,but there were better shows than vh,like rush,DIO , foreigner with joe walsh opening,his eye of the confessor tour,that was a great show,and there was early motley crew,cinderalla,can`t think of the name now,but sabastian bach`s band,deep purple or the black and blue tour sabath and purple together,that was awesome,ac-dc,the who,kinks etc

  • Fuckin' Hagar pulled that band together and turned them from a sloppy ass garage band into a well-sculpted performing, touring, and song-writing machine!! PERIOD!!

  • @versatilians not to mention boring n predictable , a luv sappy poor mans journey

  • What a f*cking train wreck Dave is! But it's still THE MIGHTY VAN HALEN!!

  • u can have any singer up there, but u need the band together . that means al,ed and mike

  • Dave was a mess that night., but damn so many people in the crowd were loaded out of their minds too.

  • so sloppy ahahah but sooooooo good

  • A high/drunk spectacle----I LOVE IT!! This is raw, REAL rock n' roll!!

  • It's a trainwreck but its absolutely brilliant. 

  • @Horbrus SCORPIONS and TRIUMPH they were much much better live than van halen with dave in this us festival solid live performance but nothing awesome ok eddie saved it this evening

  • Kewl!

  • this song reminds me when my dumb ass left my flashlight bong wedged in the dricers seat of my dads cars..ohhh..we laughed an laughed and then he beat the living sh*t outta me til i saw three of him standing there!! god i wish i was back in the 80's!! hot tub time machine brought tears to my eyes!!!

  • One of the most amazing rock spectacles of all time.

  • what happened to the lyrics dave?

  • 2:14 Now that's how you DRINK AND DRUM!!!!

  • the music is what counts, without that, none of this matters

  • Comment removed

  • rredzone, i hear eddie is a dick, having never met either i dont know, i guess it s just public perception, regardless , van halen with roth, onstage is one of the best bands i have ever seen

  • Comment removed

  • the thought that night.....since, i was there.....was David lee Roth....was sooo fucked up....that , he let alot, of singin go......in many songs...!!! it might have been there "worst show" ever.......for the people there.....know that might be.....true??? i remember, people saying the next day ....."how disappointed' they were in van halen........truth be told.

  • @davidsocal77 i was there and the bastards delayed their show 1 1/2 hours. they were fully hammered by the time they came on. oh well, all the other bands did a great job.

  • the thought that night.....since, i was there.....was David lee Roth....was sooo fucked up....that , he let alot, of singin go......in many songs...!!!

  • so i typed one letter wrong you little bitch,another internet tough guy sittin behind his comp being a dick, fuck you , you dont know shit about me

  • @mrockdog70 Fuck that guy man.. all that matters is you were there to live it up, somethin I wish I was around for more than you can imagine! We need real rock n roll bands and a massive festival like this nowadays so kids like me can get some real music!

  • I'm a big VH fan and also a big Scorpions fan. I get a kick at the many comments on the US Festival that say Scorpions stole the show and even some where people say they walked out on VH. I saw the Scorps in 2003 and they had such great sound live it was awesome. I saw VH with Sammy in 1995 on the Balance tour and they also had such great sound..very professional to say the least. Now please don't turn this into a Dave vs Sammy BS debate...VH was great with both!

  • I was at this show. I was so baked. I did every drug known to man that weekend. YESH these guys were loaded. EVERYBODY WAS. Scorpions took the whole show. They were of course bad ass & hit every note on point.

  • One of, if not my favorite Van Halen songs. Great day's, and better times back then.

  • You say Justin Bieber I say Aerosmith

    You say Miley Cyrus I say Led Zepplin

    You say T-Pain I say Guns N Roses

    You say Kanye I say Metallica

    You say Pink I say Iron Maiden

    You say Hip Hop i say shut that crap up

    You say Pop I scream Rock!

    You say Hanah montana-I say Linkin Park

    92% of teenagers have turned to Hip Hop and Pop.If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music,copy and paste this message to another 5 videos.DONTLET THE SPIRITOF ROCK DIE

  • @80sbandsrock

    Hip Hop didn't kill rock, MTV/VH-1(by stop playing music videos) & Clear Channel bought all the radio did that. Also blame it on record labels too for pushing crap like Miley, Taylor, Justin, Kesha & the rest of the garbage.

  • @80sbandsrock yeah,it is a shame all these white boy`s who want to be black,friggin wiggers,they don`t realize the black man hates them,i was a garbage man for 20 years and "i have black friends" not like evryone says i really do,and they hate the whiteman,the call whitey,crackerass cracker and say white people smell like wet dog,and they fuck white chicks to pissoff whitey,and they were there pants down low 'so whiteycan kiss there ass' that`s how it started ,now u have whte kids doing it duh

  • Fucking DLR...what a concieted piece of shit. The band would of been so much better if he could sing (live) also quit talking so fucking so much during the songs. Let Eddie, Michael and Alex jam while DLR blows the sound guy back stage.

  • How much blow r these guys on? the fact is....they rock and still make me smile from this era. my opinion is that the fair warning album was there musical peak

  • @metrakos

    Fair Warning is my favourite album, too.

  • @metrakos as much coke as they can get!

  • @metrakos - LMAO! We were all pretty f--ked up back in those days! Thanks for posting! RJ

  • @metrakos I agree! Fair Warning was the peak...

  • @metrakos Totally agree, Fair Warning is their BEST ALBUM HANDS DOWN

  • lol alex at 2:17

  • VH was a drunken nightmare at this show. Listen to Triumph to hear the BEST band of the day.

  • @aitraining

    Eddie was loaded but the difference was it didnt effect his performance...he did IMO the best solos EVER on guitar this night with Eruption...David forgets lyrics and makes an ass of himself when he is cranked

  • Comment removed

  • Here....try the 1981 version

    Unchained live 81

  • Yes, the band was feeling a bit Unchained on this night indeed...

    Lots of bricks flying from all instruments!

  • I'd give anything if they'd clean this up and release it on DVD!

  • Yeah bottom comment! Fucking VH is the shit. fucked up and partied down. that's how it goes. eddie ripping!  michael kicking ass. alex yup drinking and playing. dave e dave the best. Fucking o. The greatest Van Halen.

  • @fugahsi wow...and they use to say when the drugs wore off that the Dead sucked.....JC....I saw way more drunkin' fucked up losers at these shows then any Dead shows

  • The rock concerts of the 1970s and early 1980s were very different from today's $100+ investments. They weren't considered high art and expectations were calibrated to the $10-$15 we paid to get in. We expected unruly behavior from the band. It was part of the show. Van Halen was a lot about not being disco or ballads or over produced music, just a simple band with talented players. Unfortunately Dave forgot to entertain on occasion and let his ego get the best of him. Oh well, I still had fun.

  • I loved Van Halen. But in 1985 when I seen a bootleg of there live show and seen how DLR didn`t care, it blew the whole thing for me. The lyrics are very important to me, it`s apart of the song. I never accepted VH with Sammy, it was too "pop"

    The DLR era is the most important. In 2008 I went to see them, been waiting 20 years,, only to have the sound mixer blow it. Figures, they are managed by Irving Azhoff,, that fucker owes me $285. FUCK YOU IRVING ASSCOUGH!!

  • One of the all time outdoor party songs of the 80s...whew..we used to rock to this...smoking...snorting...dr­inking...women and craziness...lmao..good times gone...but they sing that too right...where have all the good times gone?

  • Eddie practically sang the whole song by himself. Considering all the hype and money they got, Roth was an embarrassment. He was great in the studio, but it's pretty clear why the brothers got sick of his shit.

  • lmaooooooo dave has no idea whats going on. i love it.

  • Van Halen was never that good live.

  • @TheKmbt You're right, they were always like this. They were funny and all smiles and just a very popular party band.

  • To answer gonedeep my answer is no. Ha! there is one vidieo on here with Ed and Alex dueling. Let's face it folks. They were called Van Halen for a reason. Although I loved Mike Anthony. Long live Van Halen. The original kings of the long haired bands. Ed's guitar is still second to nobody. Freakin no one.

  • The only thing that really, really sucks about Dave being loaded for all these classic VH shows is we'll never get a live album from the era. I suppose though some work could be put into finding a collection of decent live performances when Dave isn't too fucked up we could get a really good compilation. Van Halen Live: 1978 - 1985. That would rule.

  • WOW - they fucked this song all to shit, right? Missed/fucked up lyrics, fucked up guitars and they played at like TWICE the tempo of the actual song - that's what happens when your singer is more inclined towards showing off than doing the music justice live.

    Still - this is by FAR my favorite Van Halen era

  • love vh! i do now see why eddie didnt want to follow Triumph! watch " magic power" from this same festival. its unreal and a true 3 piece band. dave sucks. sadly just a good bar band live.

  • @candylion99

    MAJOR Triumph fan here as well, but, let's face it. There was no other band on earth IN 1983 that could've headlined the Us Festival that day. "A good bar band live", perhaps, but, VH were just on another level and untouchable from '82-'84.

  • love vh! i now see however why eddie didnt want to follow Triumph. watch " magic power" from this same festival. its unreal and a true 3 piece band! dave sucks live. never saw vh and dave live til now. sadly just a good bar band live.

  • @candylion99 Where did u hear or read that?

  • my cousins went to this festival. they said Dave got drunk as hell and wondered around the stage towords the end of there set with a bottel of jack talking all kinds of shit..

  • how straight is dave !!!! must have been a good night , legend

  • I'd pay full ticket price anyday just to hear david squeal and eddie tear his guitar to shreads

  • these guys were fucked up all the time and they still kicked ass at a live show.....although this is one of the worste sounding.

    I didn't see this show,i was only 12.

  • david lee roth came out a bottle of jack totally shit faced,what awesome performance.I will never forget

  • THERE'S NO SUCH THING as "Van-Halen" UNLESS the one singing into the mike is DIAMOND-DAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For there IS NO SUBSTITUTE!!!!!!!!! So all you "Dave-haters" can kiss my AZZ!!

  • @menom7 amen there bro

  • @downincognito76 Hey,THANKS Guys!! I'm glad I'm not the ONLY ONE who sees it that way!! Keep Rawkin!!

  • @menom7 i'm no dave hatr. he jst spews alot of chicken fried horse shit sumtimes. he' so entertaining

  • @menom7 I fucking agree!

  • @menom7 i was just watching triumph from the same concert and they said triumph blew away vh and dave was drunk off his ass,and they sounded like a garage band with the amps just cranked all the way up and they were right,i loved vh with dave and this is my favorite vh song ,and dave forget half the words and they sounded like shit,there sound board guy must have been drunk too.sorry perfomance,check out triumph from the same concert,world of fantasy or lay it on the line,blew vh away!

  • @menom7 - If this is the best of Van HALEN in concert... I'll take Van Hagar. Eddie looks like he's really happy with ol' Dave's performance on this one.

  • Thats fucking awesome, DLR is fucked up beyond belief!!!!

    My dad was at the US Festival, too bad I wasn't.

  • thats when everybody started to leave they took forever to get on stage and they sucked.

  • @00ricardo1 yea they sucks, yea right they were better than every other band there

  • I think DLR was drunk all the time lol

  • man DLR is funny

  • Dave was hammered and fuckin up everything on this nite. I have the whole show on tape. In the 2nd verse, he doesn't say anything where those supposed to be words, then he mutters jibberish that isn't even English before the pre-chorus. CLassic!

  • @theShowStopper321 :Yeah he was tired bangin the day before-now go eat your peanut asshole cream on your icecream you greasy hole...

  • @SkidFuckingRow what the hell is wrong with u it was a fact and observation no need for immature shit

  • @theShowStopper321

    Yeah you are right...But stick a melting banana in your ass and try hard all day to push it in your filthy mouth at the same time...You clever peanut covered butthole

  • I was there.... along with 374,999 others.

    all things considered dave is doing okay, it's a wonder he could even stand up. before they came on he downed a fifth of jack in one long pull right on camera, played on the Jumbotron screens.

    VH was king back then.

    sorry sammy you aren't dave.

  • @batvette damn fuckin straight! sammy will NEVER be anything close to dlr!

  • Wow did they sound like shit that night....worse than I remember~!

  • what city where they in?

  • @aerofan456 San Berandino or however you spell it =P

  • @WeThePeopleRoxx4 a real armpit to have a concert in the summer.... 110+ degrees in the dirt.

  • david rules!!!

  • Good song, Tell me if I am wrong, but I think this song is in D

  • how can you not love DLR? He is total sizzle ..... but came up with hot lyrics

    "i don't care where I am goin...here's too your thin red line...i'm steppin over" that is rock n roll

  • David is just screaming and jumping instead of singing and still this is one of the best rock and roll performances ever!!! Long Live (Roth) Van Halen!

  • Say what you want to..These guys were the Shit and most all of the crap out there today can thank them for the ground breaking things they did to pavethe way...

  • Those were the days!

    They were on their way to be a new Zeppelin or the new Stones.

    But David Lee Roth decided to go solo - It was his choice he wasn't ousted and the most definitely the reason for Roth to go solo was NOT because "Edward started using keyboards".

    There is more synths in Roth's solo albums than anywhere.

    Sometimes I think that all that bull was so long ago that I don't care anymore.

    But some days I can't help thinking what it could have been!

    Let's just enjoy this video.
