  • David Lee Roth Rules!

  • I thought that this was one of those mash ups it sounded so bad.

  • Is this a StSanders video?

  • Guitar is crap! Way too loud, over played & out of tune! And what's up with his mushroom head-hair-doo?

  • WTF!!!! do they have shit in their ears.. F***** Hell

  • spell-daaa

  • Not the same- Lost their enthusiasm

  • loved van halen growing up. seen many awsome live shows by them......this is a trainwreck....

  • #ComeBackSammy Campaign on Twitter

  • O Van Halen com Lee Roth Virou banda gay!

    come back sammy

  • Ed looks pretty cool with short hair, actually.

  • @MrHaircut1

    dude if he walked around in public like that (like you) then he'd be gay. it's just a costume.

  • i think they need to go to rehab ,and when they have straightened out take a look at this and realise this is not the van halen we wanna see,then get back and start rocking

  • Rubens Barichello.

  • i sounds great but the only thing i dont like is the guitar it sounds weird

  • Thing thats quite nice to see is that dave's singing and eddies guitar playing kinda went down late 90s early 00's but around about the time this video was filmed they were getting much better.

  • BRILLIANT, tanx 4 share'n!!!

  • wimps can say what they want - but vh rulesmean streat!

  • EVH and DLR... same stage- life is good!

  • I said it once. And I must say it again! Sammy and Mikey should avoid this like the plague. Get as FAR away from this mess as possible...They should just stick to the FOOT cause that band just flat kicks ass. This stuff sounds like wanker wonderland. I'm telling you Chickenfoot-- stupid name and all is the band that can save real rock .

  • @92Redstrat

    Don't make me come over there and shove that chicken foot straight up your ass.

  • Say what you want but I will take Sammy anyday over Roth. Roth can't sing anymore .To bad they all couldn't sit down Roth Sammy Mike Alex.and Eddie. and figure something out so they can all tour that would be real Kick Ass. And for most of the tour Keep daves mike turned down.

  • Is it not obvious that this guy is a flaming homosexual? He looks like a combination of Siegfried, Roy, and that Queer Eye for the Straight Guy host.

  • @MrHaircut1 You're kidding right ?!!

    David Lee Roth is as straight as an arrow.

    Quick getting excited and turn your gaydar off...

  • Gooooodddd... I was in like 6th grade when this band came to my town, and I begged and begged and begged and begged to go.. My dad took me, and it was the most awesome thing I have ever witnessed. I was so young though, I can hardly remember anything of it... All I know is that it was pretty much badass.. And I still have the confetti taped to my wall. -manly tears-

  • almost sounds like that "worst band ever" that's in related videos lol X)

  • What a mess......

  • Eddie was definitely drunk at this show. Sounded very much like he did in 2004. 

  • Agh...my uncle loved van halen, when I was little, we always listened to them, this brought back a lot of good memories...but my uncle passed away last year, thanks for bringing back good memories. :)

  • hate to admit it but dave looks and sounds really really tired with no feeling whatsoever, he trys but it's painfull... way better off on drugs

  • DLR`s exactly like the coked up clown on metalocalypse

  • This was and still is " feel good" music at its best. BRAVO EDDIE, DAVID AND ALEX!!!!

  • Seriously van halen is good no matter who sings or plays guitar. i love these new clips

  • @chargerman770 the singing i could deal without but without eddie do u know how much this would suck

  • who were does roth get his shirts from?

  • Hey Roth, Bieber called, he wants his haircut back.

  • ohhh yeahhh  more HAIR......more more more...its so beautiful...

  • So ....Let me get this right , All the tech geek shit that you just puked up, And you cant close with anything more clever than "If you want it in tune go fuck yourself " Your also telling me that with all of their money they cant fix this problem? If thats the case then I have a free solution... DONT PLAY THE OUT OF TUNE, SHITTY SOUNDING SONG LIVE ! ...BTW ram that OB-X with oscillators up your ass... turn it on.. and if there is a temp change..Beat yourself to death with a claw-hammer !!!

  • they rock! no matter how old they get, you can beat this kind of unique rock that will be remembered for all-time!

  • hey they are using the KISS DYNAASTY stage from 1979

  • SO Fucking out of tune with the keyboard sample.....They need to stop doing this song live or get a real keyboard player hiding behind curtians or some fucking thing ....This song is always so out of tune its fucking unbearable!!!!

  • @tgod72

    UMMMM.. its called an analog synth!!! i.e. if they are really using the moog from way back in 1984 (when I heard this the first time and realized that this was the future...) with it's analog oscillators.... if there was any humidity there---you have OUT Of TUNE oscillators. If you want it in tune go fuck yourself.

  • @violingineer I KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS A BRAND NEW MOOG FROM THE 80S. ONLY BEEN USED A COUPLE OF TIMES. I WAS LUCKY TO PLAY IT.

  • @tgod72

    UMM.. its called an analog synth! i.e. if they are really using the OB-X from way back in 1984 with it's oscillators, if there was any temp change-you have OUT Of TUNE oscillators.

    A "real" KB player would have no control.

    For the album the:

    "Oberheim OB-X was played through a Marshall amplifier stack. Even though it features a somewhat thicker sound than the OB-Xa, due to its discrete circuitry used instead of Curtis chips, it had a bad reputation of being unstable on the road."

  • @violingineer When VH has not had a live keyboard player with them, EVH uses keyboard tracks that he recorded into Pro-tools years ago. These keyboard tracks are the same tracks that Ed has used for years without all the horrendus tuning problems.

  • woah eddie's using the frankenstein and not the new wolfgang havent seen that in a long time

  • DLR looks like Carol Channing all grinning and shit. I miss the old VH - you can't go back.

  • Love van halen but this is pathetic what song are they playing? Must really need the money

  • Wolfgang sucks. Look at him. He can`t play the bass. He`s struming it like a guitar. He sucks. Get the great Michael Anthony back. He`s a REAL BASS PLAYER.

  • 1979 was a REVOLUTION! It lasted for years...but it was over by 90's. Why did they try this "old man" shit in VEGAS? Just retire a legend with"grace" in yer 40's. This Video is REALLY BAD! (dont go "out" like THIS........ you "YOUNGIN'S) That is "not GOOD")

  • I was there that night and it was FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I will never forget that night!!!!

  • that intro is the out of this world!!! and will be until im 100yrs old

  • i wish they would come to utah, any part of it really, i would pay to get there along with the ticket

  • Eddie, is crazy?

  • This song is the best song in 90 years, pure power.-

  • wat sucks is that eddie is the youngest from the band not counting wolfie and he is the most screwed up out of the whole group

  • NAXAVI - very well observed, hes out of tune and out of timing sometimes too.... i think he´s on drugs... or he´s NOT on drugs... lol

  • Sounds a lot like my own band playing Jump back in 1985.

  • Oh I I wish Randy Rhodes was still alive!!

  • eddie is out of tune

  • @NAXAVI well you cant blame him hes is using the original frankenstrat he even said himslef trying to keep it in tune wasnt easy.

  • DLR looks like a robot these days, too old to jump n shit

  • Sorry, but Dave belongs in a Vegas lounge. His glory days are long gone. Eddie's playing is sloppier than ever. Wolfgang just doesn't fit. I think Alex is the only solid contributor. Oh, how I wish it was 1981 again.

  • eddie is still amazing. so is DLR. but i agree his son doesn't fit the crowd. not that they have much of an image now anyways (compared to the old days)

  • very tru dude

  • Eddie tells his son, see this is what it's like being a Rock God.

  • i think this was when the sound tape of the synth was playing or somehting and because it was so old it actually threw pitch off or somehting i heard about this on google or somehting

  • MORE HAIR NEEDED

  • @bigblock31 Please deposit 25 cents to continue.

  • as full as a goog

  • i don't think eddie was in tune right there:(

  • Was Eddie playing the correct song? What is up with that?

  • o m g... when eddie's guitar solo started...damn.. that was horrible.. :S

  • what the hell happened to Eddie?. He sounds awful.

  • I was there that day.

    It was the best concert i've ever been to!!

  • eds hyperactive wank is horrible

  • Comment removed

  • crappy audio. i was at this concert. dont hate on roth. he sounded great. however the facial expressions were pretty out there

  • ok dave...its a circus not a concert

    eddie...good job staying sober after that shit

    alex...idk

    wolfie...two words...jenny craig...but goood job

  • Im a big fan of van halen, and suddenly i catch this....VH 2007. I said "Wow...F*** awesome", i played the video and ..... I said "WTF is this crap". I agree, they sounded like playing a totally diferent song, and Dave singing...anything. A totally lack of respect to the audience there..its sad to say it.

  • I don't care what any of you complaining assholes say. After all these years, they still sound awesome. I would definitely pay to see a show of theirs.

  • Don't worry musashihumar, all losers can speak crapy words. Van Halen is a legend, and watching these "old" guys in good shape and physical condition is amazing. Almost all new rock groups are silly copy & pasters.

  • I agree. I'm tired of all these new groups playing all their shitty power chords set to sad lyrics. I don't know about the rest of the world, but when I go to a rock show, I wanna be pumped up and happy, not saddened by some emo talking about how bad he has it and wants to kill himself.

  • @musashihumar Couldnt said it any better. They still rock and i would for sure pay to see a show of them now!

  • @musashihumar hells yeah, i'd pay to see them too

  • Watching Sammy Hagar onstage these days is like watching George W. Bush give a speech on teen sex........awkward, pathetic, and disgusting!

  • yeah i agree

  • you do know thats roth right? van faggot disbanded long ago and now van halen is back

  • this is terrible in every way possible !

    watching this must be like catching your parents having sex !

  • Oh my fuckin god!!!!!!! That was so amazing, I would love to see that show.

  • Who cares that is good or bad..it's nice to see Eddie and Dave back together again on a stage

  • Legends but OUCH on VH here. It was like he was playing a different song.

  • OG Van Halen Forever!! Love that David!

  • please tell me it's not eddy!!!

  • Some people say Eddy is nearly deaf from all those years of standing next to Marshall stacks ...that could explain a lot....

  • Well! Now I watched the vid one more time. It's definetly Eddy that fucked the whole thing it up. He simply has forgotten how to play the song and lost his bearing a few times. Sometimes he's two beats ahead, sometimes 2 or even 4 beats late. You can see Dave go mad at him at 3:14 ;)

    DLR is the genuine VH singer. The younger ones may know VH only with Hagar. When Dave left VH I stopped tracking them. Same with AC/DC. Though Brian is the best substitute they could have found - AC/DC is Bon Scott

  • It is, why?

  • ...and off the key?

  • omg. who is that lousy guitar player (so horrible offbeat)?

  • Man, Diamond Dave still can sing quite well.

  • This is a very disappointing rendition of their own song.

  • see sammy and micheal are in a new band

  • what band

  • yeh chickenfoot

  • no fucking way

  • where are you sammy?

  • i just dont like their singer.... i dunno... i jsut dont like him

  • They arent old and tired......when they reunited Eddie was doig some hard core shit.......they cancelled the tour this concert was on because he had to go to rehab.....it was bad dude.......I mean hell just look at Eddie he doesn't look good

  • One word...

    CHICKENFOOT!

  • that sucked Eddie :( DLR you rocked !

  • I have seen a lot of footage of the reunited VH. It seems they have lost that groove they had back in the 80s.

    Eddie is all over the place. Kinda sloppy IMHO.

    Old and Tired?

  • I think he should just stop playing now, well live anyway, they should have broken up as soon as they started to get really shit.

    Just my opinion,

    I still have shitloads of respect for the Halen dont get me wrong but now.. meh

  • Not good...i love VH, but this is bad

  • EVH FTW BBZ!

  • They are not that good anymore! But I have Allot of Respect for Van Halen!

  • Wow.... that was gawd awfull. I like to remember the good ole days when they totaly rocked ass live.

  • DLR is still awesome, but EVH...

  • diamond dave

  • this song doesn't deserve a guitar solo but don't get me wrong eddie is still hard core

  • that fat kid is eddie's son

  • The One In Black Ripping With Him ?

  • just dont the way he sounds i guess that was a little bit overboard but if i said i liked roth better someone else would have started being an ass

  • fat bastard on the bass guitar

  • Dave is epic.

  • Dave is halarious. You know what they should do ? They should have two halfs of the concert. One half with David, playing all their old hits. Take a break. Then during half time, David should do some of his Solo stuff. Then out nowhere,They start in with," I can't drive 55.Sammy Haggar comes out and Van Halen does the second half and does all the hits he had with them. That would be the definitive Van Halen concert.

  • fuck hagar in the ass

  • Nah, I don't swing that way !!! What do you have against Hagar. Dave was the best. I agree, But Hagar had some really good stuff with them.

  • mmmm.....I guess you might have to been really pissed.............EVH still is onme of the all time greats

  • He's Really Having Fun With The Flag At The Beginning. And Is That Eddie's Son With Him, Wolfgang, I think?

  • Eddie's playing is getting really sloppy, i loved VH back in the day, but i wouldn't walk across the street to see this SHIT!!!!!

  • haha, showman dave, finally at home.

  • Roth has turned into Alfred E Newman

    He's the geek now, imho

  • This is the worst performance I ever heard from Van Halen...He is one of the best guitarists all time, but this version suxxx... :-(

  • Kool he's using the frankenstein =P

  • the solo ??????

  • nice to see eddie's got the frankenstein

  • this version sux!!!

  • i love van halen and eddie's playing.. but honestly this version sucks.. ok he's human, he's not a machine so he is allowed to fail from tiem to time. did he break some string? did his guitar strap get loose? why did hew play the solo seated?

  • r u stupid eddie plays guitar yes i no he also plays synth....but how will he do the same..

  • isnt eddie supposed to be playing the synth for this song?

  • at least they still have the spirit, but to me personally it's time to retire.

  • one of terrible lives I've seen ever..Van halen doesn't play what he had before

  • While I know of the version where they really stuffed up with the backing track.

    But this version *might* sound wierd because the studio version is in C, and Live Right Here Right Now is in D. Maybe someones playing the wrong version?

  • against all odds, it has a nice spirit to it. But Eddie's playing his solo sitting down? still missing evenings on the sofa with his exwife, noodling on his guitar while watching tv? and he sounded like he was in a different key.

  • bring your kid to work tour.wolfy is a lucky dude

  • True, and they soind off tlike they are all playing different songs....Eddie seems to be playing a whole different song...

  • this is amazing

  • i cant wait to see them again

  • AWESOME!!

  • They are finished. I feel sorry for Dave.

  • I actually got a bag full of their confetti. It was from their concert in Little Rock. I took a whole bunch of confetti after the show. Yeah. I'm a music geek!!

  • dude i did the same thing in atlanta rock on!

  • I recently saw Eddie toss his monitor off the stage in protest to the soundman. This could explain the problem with the sound he was experiencing. You must admire the man for what he's accomplished. Now that he's in his 50's it's easy to understand what he's going through. I'm going through the same thing at 52.

    Great memories go along way.

    Quit smoking and drinking. Start eating well, taking vitamins and going for daily walks really helps ease the aging issue.

    Cheers everyone.

    Craig

  • Glad they are back Missed them alot

  • they still play as good as they did in the 80's

  • Hot Damn its good to hear them again. I was one pissed off dude when they broke up. Alittle rusty (don't get me wrong time plays dirty tricks on us), but the come back trail looks good to me. I saw them in 1980. Damn what a band!

  • Eddie might have just broken a string, which with a floating bridge would totally throw everything outta tune. either way i sorta like him junking it out! it sounds raw, for a song that we've all heard a million times... nice to hear it loose and gnarly.

  • he didnt break a string.

    the recording they used to play back the synth is accidentally run at 48K instead of 44.1K:)

    so no matter how he tried to tune his guitar he could never get the same key.

    haha poor eddie:P

  • That's... a C#, I believe. If it's not tuned up half a step, then he's lost the open strings.

  • Van Halen kann es immer noch.

  • There are two reasons why Dave won;t sing Va Hagar stuff:

    - He doesn't need to.

    - He can't.

    Van Halen V.had the better songs, but Hagar is a better singer.Roth's improved loads compared to just a few years ago, and he always seems to pull off a decent vocal for Jump.

    As for Wolgang, people should give the kid a break. He's the bassist for Van Halen, so learn to like it. People were won over by Hagar, so why not Wolfgang?

  • it's true, like him or not, Hagar has good range and in general his voice is i think higher a lot of the time.

  • That's right, Eddy is completly out! Pissed off and playing like a big shit. I thought alcool and cigarettes were off his life now. I was wrong. This song is completly awful!!

    (the french guy)

  • I dont know what you guys are bellyaching about. I saw them on their last tour and I had a great time as did everyone else it seems in the building.

  • the flag doesn't mean nothing to this band.

    Only if Sammy was there

  • One more thing:

    THE RED ROCKER IS SAMMY HAGAR

    David Lee Roth is only a guy off tune

  • and one more thing eddie. you were pissed at sammy and mikey because they did "van halen the other half" tour. yes you and alex are the 2 halves of van halen "BY NAME".. but sammy and mikey were the other halfs of van halen "BY BAND". c'mon eddie what did you expect mikey to do within the 5 year gap while you were diagnosed with cancer and recovering from divorce, did you expect mikey to sit at home and do nothing?? he wanted to play and play for the fans.. just like you....... grow up eddie!
