  • Dave and Eddie with short hair just doesn't look right. That may sound superficial to some, but to a band like Van Halen, who defined 80's rock arguably more than anyone, cutting off the hair means cutting themselves off from the 80's...cutting themselves off from their roots.

    They just don't look like who they are supposed to be, and who they are most fondly remembered as.

  • @TigerHaight  I heard that too. Im gonna busty to see them, and get good seats!

  • I love VH but they're one of the sloppiest live bands out there...too much improvisation, sloppy guitar playing, and sloppy vocals...

  • What the hell is at 1:28 through 1: 50 ?

  • @guitarluver1000 lol! yeah really?

  • Round 2 coming up!!! VH TOUR 2012!!

  • Dave needs to be center stage.

  • Comment removed

  • I hate people who make up rumors about a new VH album and tour in 2012. Loved this tour. Great show. Saw them in Philly.

  • @pinkroses16 actually, its no longer a rumor. Van Halen officially announced that they're touring next year, and on the Van Halen News Desk, there is a picture that has the date "2.7.12"...that could very well mean that thats the date for the album to be released.

  • Did dave spend good money to look that good at his age? Haha

  • Eddie and Dave are both in way better shape than Eddie's fat son. 

  • @DemiGodDocile

    hehe that's right

  • @DemiGodDocile Well he doesn't exactly have genes on his side, don't forget his mom was pretty fat for awhile

  • at 50 seconds eddie isnt even playing wow.

  • garbage. eddie blows!

    

  • tell eddie to turn off the phase 90

  • Hilarious! It's okay Dave - all in fun man! Maybe next time don't "build tension", just do the song :)

  • Chickenfoot kicks their asses!

  • thats his son... and i think its pretty cool!

  • UN-HEAR UN-HEAR UN-HEAR UN-HEAR UN-HEAR

    If rehab had a band ... this would be it. This is just sad. Dave looks like an undernourished hungry baby bird begging for food when he sings.

    WHY???????????????????????????­???????

  • haha dave says pa "nee" ma so gay!!!

  • Dave, please shave the sideburns, let your hair grow back, lose the Elvis jacket, and stop waxing your chest. Thanks in advance

  • their singer cant even say panama properly. he says panima???

  • use to think he was saying "any more!" instead of panama lol but i was a little kid so its all good :P

  • Hear a little bit of Mikey in the background vocals?

    :)

  • Thank God Sammy Hahar isn't there. Nothing better than the original Van Halen.

  • Dave and the guys look and sound perfect

  • 3:50 haha, Dave, gotta love ya!

  • Plenty of opportunity to see these guys...but this is the worst version of VH yet. Crap playing, weak singing, and a kid onstage...lame.

  • Love it!

    Been a long time. C'mon Eddie, let Mikey back in...please?

  • Wow, his son is fat.

  • Insted of Panama the new lyrics should sound like these ( What that Fuck What that Fuck What that Fuck )

  • WTF? This is like a F****G nightmare they all look like shit, Sometimes is better unplug the cord and live out of your memories I mean if they still have any? Brains?

  • They say "like with fine wine, it gets better with time..."

    Sorry to say this, but I'm a realist and a long time Van Halen Fan, but this sounds more like "bad beer over time." Diamond Dave's voice is shot and Eddie Van Halen is just a shell of his former self.

  • they all fucked this song up, but the crowd loved it when dave fucks it up,

  • i dont like the fact that mike or sammy arent their.....but im SOOOO happy that they at least got dave instead gary or someone else

  • I like seeing Dave on stage but they are sorely missing Michael Anthony, he could at least help hit them high notes that Dave is struggling with. Either way, it is a great video.

  • 17 yr olds talking, I went to the Van Halen concert with my dad, yeah, Who's your dad?, Eddie Van Halen, NO SHIT!!!

  • FINALLY DAVE'S BACK WHERE EVERYONE NEEDED HIM TO BE!!!!

  • Hooray for "PANIMA!!!"

  • This performance sounds like a bad joke to me, sorry....

  • PUTA CLÁSSICO DO CARALHO doido.

  • C'mon Dave you gotta rehearse baby !! You got great pipes USE EM !!

  • i like this video 

  • mike anthony isnt at the bottom of the jack daniels bottle lol although i know what u mean hes playing with sammy hagar satriani and smith in the band chickenfoot and they are fuckin awesome man

  • HEY EDDIE: leave yer fat fuck kid home, go pull mike outta the JD bottle, and maybe see what Sammie's doin before you hit the road again!

  • Ed's guitar sounds horrible. Sounds like a goose honking by the lake.

  • i think wolfgang looks more like Eddie Trunk than Eddie Van Halen. XD

  • People are AHOLES WHAT the F. You know who you are lololololol and you will always be. But you can change call 1800666445.

  • DLR sounds like *crap*!!! Eddie still sounds good but sounded better when he was loaded.....LOL!!!

  • No It was not VH 1979-80 but at least it was them,Most of the people there had there Kids with them ,Dadd and Mom taught them Righ..My Son took me we had a fucking BLAST....1980 was the last time I saw them Glad to see the boyz are Back

  • wtf is this, out of time shite

  • That was hilarious, nice rebound thanks to Wolfie!

  • a teenager on stage with van halen is not right, in fact its a fucking travesty.

  • @ajwhhis the guy wanted to play with his son lay off

  • @joescout that may be the case but you can't disagree that it takes credibility from the band and insults the fans who paid to see VH.. if he was just the average bass player, not related to VH he never would have had the opportunity. It's nice he wants to bond with his son.. but he can do that at home.

  • @ajwhhis totally agree with you man. Wanna hear something? I was born with perfect pitch, and can tune a guitar without any reference. Listening to Wolfgang's bass playing on all these shows, he's consistently sharp, especially on the songs that are tuned down. If he would get someone to make sure his bass is in tune it would sound MUCH better.

  • @ajwhhis dude.. is eddie's son... 

  • @ajwhhis If it was anyone but Eddie's son, I'd agree. But at least he's keepin it in the family. It is kinda weird that Roth is the only member that's not related now tho haha.

  • @darkknightdetec6 I think Roth should change his name to David Van Halen. Then at least that would be sorted out.

  • @ajwhhis That's Eddie Van Halen's son

  • @ajwhhis thats his son u dumb****

  • @ajwhhis Even if its Eddie Van Halens Son xD

  • @ajwhhis its eddie van halens son.

  • @ajwhhis What kind of person are you? He is a father, and wanted to spend time with his son. Placing him in one of the best bands of all time so they can spend time together sounds like father of the year to me.

  • I think that Sammy Haggar sounds better than David Lee Roth, BUT, I love that David Lee Roth give a way better energy performance than Sammy! Does anyone agree with me?

  • Eddie screwed Michael Anthony just because M.A. did not want to be sitting on his ass waiting for eddie and dave or sammie to get the log out of their ass and eddie did it for his son also f---ed up let his son start his own band...

  • is that steve Martin singing?

  • Dr. Rockso lives!

  • if ya dont like the video go suck a fuckin justin bieber dick ya damn assholes.

  • god that is a really bad band. weakness

  • on meth

  • I'm not sure if it is the audio but the sound coming fro

  • When Edward gets close to DLR something known as a "fake smile" seems to appear on his face.

  • When Dave forgets a line he just goes wooooo!

  • Eddie has always open his Mouth in a strange way!!

    Is he on Coco? We don't wanna see his incline Teeth!!

    Discusting Human!

  • murdered the guitar tbh

  • subpar bigtime. and  I love VH. :(

  • When the people want Mike on bass for the reunion line up then call him and get him on the bass. It's just that easy. Have some beers, talk it out; but for christ sake if that's what people want, then give it to them!!!!!!!!

  • simply embarrassing

  • @CostPlusTulsa ya well that means nothing coming from inbred Okie from Muskogee like yourself. Go back to your classic country music and Miller Lite, ya hick. Van Halen rulz! :)-~

  • who ever was the bass guy i have that shirt haha XD

  • @TheInvalidChronicles He's Wolfgang Van Halen, The son of Eddie and NEW Van Halen bass player. Yes, the Van Halen brothers fired Michael Anthony. and now the fat son got his spot on a band that (unfortunately has been going down, while Anthony is in Chickenfoot and raising in popularity

  • @GuitarKnight4444 yes, because chickenfoot is SO awesome! Id pay... about a quarter as much to see them that id be willing to pay to see Van Halen! Fuck chickenfoot, they suck ass, and will never be close to an actual supergroup. They have a few faithful fans, thats about it. maybe a good opener band, join the line.

  • Van Hagar was better than DLR makes them now. Sammy has so much more energy and hasn't lost his voice. I think Michael Anthony got shafted.

  • is it the camera mic or is eds tone really nasal and compressed sounding? eww

  • I mean no disrespect to the band or anyone else, but this just isn't one of their best performances of this song. I mean no disrespect, just saying.

  • PANEEMA!!! dude, dlr says it funny now

  • @MrBoomBamBanana haha yeah I was thinking the same, when did this song started to be called panèma?

  • @CarcPazu

    When Dave got old, I would guess. lol. It must have been awesome to see em in the '80's!!!!

  • I think if Eddie and Dave can get back together, then Axl and Slash can too!

  • @lespaulman1 --- LOL no way......Axl is still a major asshole

  • Why didnt this happen sooner

  • i wonder what eddies singing voice sounds like now?

  • Wow, it's hell to get old.

  • 1:42 "up your camera"

  • am i the only one that thinks that david looks like Ozzy without hair at 1:27

  • Good guitar and drums; too bad about the shit bassist and singer.

  • van halen should rest on their laurels and give it up better to burn out than fade away

  • lol

  • Why did the band start playing all fucked up when Dave was doing the "Between My legs" part? Eddie started playing the "Aint Talkin Bout Love" riff on the guitar in a fucked up kind of way, no wonder old Dave got confused. This is just painful to watch. It's that shitty bass players fault!

  • @dunskie I think Dave was the only one confused, everyone else was just waiting for him to carry on the song and he started singing something else

  • @codebreaker212p I was only kidding about the bass player, but, if you listen closely, the band(mostly Eddie and Wolf) confuse Dave(I think) by vamping out onto some weird riff that sounds like a drunk version of "Ain't Talking Bout Love" or something?

  • @dunskie Well the song is called "panama" I dont think they were just gonna stop in the middle of the song and play something else. lol. It did sound a little different, but I think Eddie was just mixing it up on the guitar a little bit, but that shouldnt be enough to confuse someone else. This is why I like Sammy better :)

  • DLR still gets it now that ol bastage

  • Its not like Wolfgang is an unknown wannabe. He's the son of Eddie, and Im sure Eddie taught him everything he knows :)

  • i totally fucked that up didnt i?

  • Dave IS THE show! What a great one it was too!

  • Still not the same van halen with wolfie on bass ....

  • i think his tone with his new amps sounds horrible. he should go back to his marshall. what a badass.

  • @MrElfro89 Agreed. It sounds quite tinny (although I acknowledge this isn't a sound board recording) and not the rich, warm sound that we're used to.

    On another note, Roth sings more of the song than he did back in '84!

  • did anyone else notice that he gave one of those guitars to Jake from 2 1/12 men

  • @LOTR22090

    ha, i did

  • It's a good thing since they broke up in '84, making a comeback they only have good songs to pull from to tour with. Saw them in Boston and can't wait till they come back again. The Mighty Van Halen Rocks!

  • the only one who performed top notch this whole tour was alex van halen!

  • sux

  • wherever Ed plays the arena is cox...........

  • everywhere ed goes its a cox arena......

  • "AYE AYE ITS BEEN 22 FUCKIN YEARS WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME "!

    haha lol

  • Fuckin Dave Still Sounds Good

  • @whatthehellvideos wherever Ed plays the arena is cox...........

  • the guy sings like Ozzy when he says ''paanaaammaa!!!

  • david lee looks like Robin Williams is doing an impression of him, oh wait, Robin would have been more entertaining

  • hmmm...the hat thing seems to be a gimmick. I just looked at a video from another show on this tour, and the same hat was thrown on stage...lame.

  • I loved van halen back in the 80s saw them 3 times,but today there missing something,its obvious a bassist, on a scale of 1 to 10 micheal was a 12 now they have maybe a 2-,I think there days are over, but eddie was one of the best of all times,just listen you can really miss micheal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @pete4824 man your totally right. michael anthony was amazing. he was a vital part of van halen. but they sold tickets without him. plus i think michael is probably happier with chickenfoot. he wouldnt have to put up with eds smugness and all that tamness.

  • wolfgang is gay

  • the singer,i prefer sammy hagar, sounds like he was singing ,,panema''

  • Dave looks like Rubens Barrichelo...

    (O Dave parece o Rubinho Barrichelo)

    :-)

  • i feel like dave is constantly pissed off that wolfie is there.BRING BACK MICHAEL

  • What an absolute mess!

  • i love this stuff

  • Yeah I was pissed when I heard they were touring without Michael. I went to the show anyway. It was a shot of 80's arena rock bombast that does not exist anymore. Van Halen is better than Zep. Eddie can do what he wants. Wolfgang is exceptional. Eddie and Alex would not have him on that stage unless he smoked.

  • Fuck this is not Van Halen...

  • Who's that fat kid?

  • Wolfgang. Just. Fails.

  • @51Thundersticks Well, what could've they done? Mike Anthony is with Chickenfoot.

  • Its funny the people that talk shit about the mighty VH obviously didnt see it in person, they would say otherwise. Until then, shut your ass....

  • @blasty5150 Amen to that. I dont understand why everyone says that Wolfie doesnt play Michael Anthony's parts well. I mean no disrespect to Michael Anthony, but if you listen closely to his bass lines, they really arent that complicated. As for the background vocals, Wolfie was well above satisfactory. I saw them on this tour. Van Halen was awesome!!

  • @aerosmithmotleycrue men YOU ARE FULL OF SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAYBE IN 20 YRS IF HE TRIES VERY HARD HE MAYBE CLOSE TO MICHEALS TALENT, CAN HE DO A SOLO,MICHEAL CAN TEAR IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @pete4824 dude chill out. I didnt say Michael Anthony wasnt good. I just said that his bass lines arent that complicated. That doesnt mean that he is not a good bass player. He is a great bassist. But Wolfie did a great job considering the big shoes he had to fill.

  • when did it become "PANEEMA"

  • went to this show...fucking great

  • @mattgsperm also david is a showman not a singer.. but he is neither now a days

  • @mattgsperm last time i checked i was a guitar player...and if you think wolfgang is a good bass player or has the same vocal range as mike anthony then you are in serious need of a hearing aid and some music lessons...

  • they're old but still rocks... They ever will rock... =]

  • @ITRIPOVERMYCOCK

    because this the first stroke of ppl u wanker

    wuahhaha eddie nevver massed it op u sucker

    this camara(telephone) had bad qualty of sound so stfu with ur wisely words u sucker

  • @youngj1800 you sound like a retarded dumbass.. learn how to speak before you post something... david roth needs to retire... and wolfgang doesnt belong up on the samr stage with eddie and alex... period.. i dont care if the music was recorded on an old fostex reel to reel.. it sounds like shit not because of the recorder but because dave and wolfgang cant sing and play..

  • Why does Eddie's new sound come across like he has a wah pedal turned on and set to one spot? I don't like it. Probably sounds better live / loud.

  • yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeaaaaaaaaaaa

  • Wolfgang's bass sounds like a wet fart.

  • he really fucked up =D

  • who is the fat guy???

  • Eddies son I think.

  • @1234kibs

    eddies his sonn.

  • T?is isnt fake appa?entl? if u cop? paste t?is to ten people in t?e ne t ten minutes u will ?ave t?e Best da? of u? life tomo??ow u will eit?e? get a o?? asked out if u B?eak t?is c?ain u will see a little Dead gi?l in u? ? m TONIG?T In 53 mins sumone will sa? i Love yo

  • goddamn dave,take some singing lessons.

  • esaltati!

  • yeah does anyone know why micheal anthony didnt tour with them, was it because eddie just had to have his son there? if so thats pretty fucked up

  • What Eddie has done in recent years with Van Halen is run it into the ground. Obviously it's his way or the highway without any regard for others. He's a pretty nice guy when he's sober, but this reunion should have had Michael Anthony. I'm sure the little porco Wolfgang is a good bass player for his age, but it just does not fit the band. Has this kid even been with a girl? Does he have experience to answer questions? Is he someone who has paid his dues? Looks like American Idol.

  • That is the problem when someone owns something. They think they can do what they like with it. I agree he should have asked you first.

  • Your sarcasm is understood lol! The fact is, though, when you piss off your fans because you don't give a rip "hey, who cares, I'm a millionaire" type of thing, people get annoyed. Just like I'm annoyed that we've become a fascist state with 1% of the population making WAY too much money.

  • @schiaffer i agree 100 percent.. i hate the way america is anymore. its like even if your not the best u can play anyway>;;; lol i want the best and original . this american idol shit is SHIT

  • @schiaffer what the hell r u talkin about, without him van halen wouldn't be where it is today u ignorant jackass, u r so narrow minded and what the hell do u care what his kid has done, its not like u can do any better and american idol? how fucking stupid r u to compare it to that u dumb cunt

  • Comment removed

  • @schiaffer calling Wolfgang a "porco" (pig)? what a typical "negative loser" comment with 11 little negative loser thumbs up right with you. grow up people. stop tearing apart everything your obviously jealous of. so Eddies run Van Halen into the ground? they're back with Dave, made millions on tour and recording a new album. yeah, they've really dug themselves a hole now. all these negative comments are just ridiculous. like the saying goes, "if you don't like it don't watch" stfu ya negs!!

  • ;-)

  • dont u you know she is come home with me...u loose ur turn..I LL GET HER.PANAMA!!!, AWESOME SONG JUST LOVE IT

  • What's wrong with Roth? My grandma moves better than him.

  • maybe he's 30 older

  • I know...She's got great moves

  • ENEMA!

    ENEMA-A!

    Just kiddin...
