  • Frankenbass!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The background vocals on the chorus are lauughable

  • This sucks when compared with JOE SATRIANI, FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE TALK ABOUT VAN HALEN GUITAR IS NOT AS MUCH AS IT SEEMS

  • They sound good. Dave can't do those screams any more though.

  • Mostly just keeping it in tune is the problem.

  • Thumbs up for all the 16 year olds who went to a van halen concert with their dads, and got their faces rocked!!!!

  • Without Sammy and Mike they have nobody in that band that can sing now.

  • not one of them can sing anymore ,

  • I wish Roth took his vocal performance more seriously. They are living legends, I wish they would give their music a little more respect. Dave looks like a confused circus ring master instead of the talented artist he is. Can't Eddie play his Frankenstein and Marshall? Where the fuck is Michael? I'm happy Dave is back but what the fuck? They've got no class.

  • @1971SuperLead The rest I can't account for, but the Frankenstrat is an old guitar. It gets hard to upkeep.

  • @TJKnight94, Eddie has a zillion dollars. Certainly he can fix his guitar and amp.

  • @1971SuperLead Mostly just keeping it in tune is the problem for him.

  • @TJKnight94, I know a shop that will fix his guitar for under $100. What's Eddie's e-mail address?

  • They sound better then when I saw them on the Diver Down tour at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse NY

  • miss you Mike =(

  • God damn van halen is an awesome group but ... this was just terrible. Worse then Van Hagar.

  • @zjhauri No way man. I saw them on this tour. There is no Van Halen without Dave. These recordings always have a lot of feedback in them. The show sound is much better.

  • Eddie is playing very bad!!!!!!!!

  • @youshit666 what are you talking about? He is not..

  • Wolfgang sucks

  • Who´s that on bass???

  • damn dave still got after all those years, so does everybody but wolf nees 2 kool it a bit on the vocals

  • What the hell, my gosh that bass player needs to just step away from the mike.

  • I recently got hired to play bass in a Van Halen tribute band in Houston. When asked if I would be able to harmonize the Michael Anthony vocal parts, I simply replied, "I can't be any worse than the kid." It has taken me a good while to hit the harmony notes with consistence. What I hear in Wolf is a lack of ear training. He seems to be a natural player, and a decent bass player, but still needs to work on his vocal pitch. It's one thing to be a player, but another thing to be able to harmonize

  • I saw VH in Cleveland on this tour and Wolf sang great. There are clips on here where he's good and not so good (just like Eddie's playing these days). Consistency is the hardest thing in singing if you ask me. I too sing Micheal Anthony's parts in our VH covers, but I play lead guitar.

  • I agree with you in the difficulty of trying to be spot on every night vocally. The high B and C# harmony notes are the toughest notes for me to hit every gig. what the hell. It's only rock and roll.

  • Are you kidding me? Thay all must be high or don't give a shit. The chorus is horrible. They are in it for the money.

  • Great Dave......... !!!!!!!!

  • this show sucked ass

  • Wolfie is trying too hard to be as good as daddy. He isn't. His bass has waaaay too much "growl" in it for this sound. It isn't clean, and it really doesn't impress me much. Besides, Mike has moved on to greener pastures. If you don't believe that the bass player can make a real difference in a band, check out Chickenfoot. He is out from under Eddie's shadow, and he soars.

  • i was here and thats be cool!!!

  • wow...realy??? you go to see Van Halen cuz of his vocals and bass???

  • Mike still has an incredible voice! i wouldn't try singing back up vocals because i have no business doing that, and neither does Wolfgang! Van Halen should have got a real back up for Mike!

  • This is absolutely terrible... it 's actually too painful to watch having grown up with this band to see it come to this?. I know it's Eddie's son, but the apple fell far from this tree... the kid has no business being up there, he's tone deaf and he can't play bass!

  • Michael Anthony had an incredible voice, you try singing the chorus backing vocals.

  • W0W WHAT HAPPEN/ DIDNT LIKE THIS ONE

  • Damn, I saw these guys in 1980 and 81, when they were friggen raw and hot, even saw them with Sammy in frankfurt germany, sorry, this is friggen trash BS crap, even on youtube, they sound like shit, glad I skipped the seattle show in december 07.... this is terrible

  • Agreed. I've never seen them (too young) but I listen to their old recordings a lot and it's so much better than this. They sound drunk or something, maybe they're just getting too old and "out of the groove". A lot of bands can't do it anymore, there are a few who can though (Ozzy, Pink Floyd etc.)

  • Lame, bring back Mike.

  • why he is not playing with is old guityar anymore?

  • the band is having fun the people that were there are having fun who cares if ed's kid is fat and i did like the hagar era also but i'm fuckin glad dave is back. so more power to wolfgang for getting out there.

  • i got news for you JR, i have seen VH several times in my life, first time being in 1980, so i DO have the right to my opinon and this DOES suck, you need to go watch your JONAS fag ass shit

  • well go watch the Jonas brothers or something...didn't no that u had to be in perfect shape to play rock n roll....which by the way....Micheal was never skinny..

    i think it is very childish to put someone down cuz of they're weight.....

    since ya'll think this sucks so bad....what city did ya'll attend the VH concert

    i saw them in Dallas in april of 2008....

    youtube does not do them justice

  • this band isnt close to what they were with mike a huge loss eddies kid must have ate him

  • i couldn't agree more...and david is not prforming here,just showing off.....the only that is still good is the guitar.

  • No matter what anyone says DLR kicks arse and he is and always well be part of th eoriginal harder edge halen liniage !Dave is God hagar may be a better pure singer but dave is A MOTHER FKIN FIRECRAKKER , HES DA MAN !

  • dave is back after 24 yrs GEE I wonder wy? and gee eddie seems to be havin a good time with it. LOL too bad the hagar lovers hate it

  • Blimy...Wolfgang needs to lay of the fu#king pies.

  • I don't see what's so bad about this. This is good!!!!

  • Did they open up with this?

  • you goddamn lucky they r still all alive ya fags

  • not an excuse but I can relate to what Ed must go thru....can you really imagine having to play the same solos note for note night after night for 30 freakin years...come on plus now he is sober......that would be like having to make love to your wife the same freakin way every night for 30 years plus after she has gained 30-100 lbs...the reality sets in

  • You could look at it that way, but any guitarrist like me would tell you, soloing is the most fun you can have on a guitar, even if it's the same, if you wrote the solo, it never gets old

  • i agree with u guys i like the old school vh better i still think there the best 80s band eva.

    Daves voice got so screwd up its crazy.

    VH still rocks the world

  • Can't beat the old school Halen

  • Fuck Edd is struggling here look up dallas and see the real Edd I don`t know who this guy is

  • I love VH, but I'd bet there are 30,000 cover bands in this country who could play this stuff better and sing it better than these guys do now.

    Dave was never the best singer.... But Ed used to kick butt on the guitar... and now his solos are messed up, almost as much as Dave's voice now. I'll always love the old VH and my old VH albums.... but they've just lost it.

    Maybe it's Mike's vocals they're missing... but they just sound bad. I'm always a fan, though.

  • i agree with you in the part that you said dave's voice is completely messed up, but i think since wolfgang is like 16 he makes everyone else sound old

  • I've been a VH fan since back in the late 70's and I don't really think it's because of Wolfgang being so young.... These guys just don't sound the same any more. Dave's voice is just shot, not that he was ever really all that good to begin with... but he had "something" special that used to work. And Ed just isn't playing as well as he used to.  It's like he's having trouble playing his own stuff now. I'll bet their next studio album will be good, though.

  • yea i know but i think they shouldn't have put wolfgang in, if the band is gonna be old then they should be old without some16 year old kid making them look older

  • Good point.

    They need Mike back.

  • Ya, why did they kick "Mark Anthony" out, and who the hell let Jennifer Lopez in the band! ;o

  • I think they fired him because he wouldn't break off his friendship with Sammy Hagar. At least that's the story.

  • its micheal not mark

  • I know, I was being sarcastic because someone one on a prior comment said "Mark Anthony". That's why I made the JLo comment.

  • Nice boyo, forever

  • ya fags a clueless, "mark anthony?" shut the fuck up if u dont even know the fucking names of the greatest band that ever walked this earth. Goddamn idiots

  • My God the chorus is completely out of tone.

    WTF? WHat happened?

  • they got old rofl they cant play like there young again rofl

  • Lol And the usual Moron fan that puts a negative in your comments. What are you gonna do. I think it has more to do with the fact that they don't rehearsh anymore. You don't lose your musical ear just by getting old. Its not like they're singing a super high pitch song like Queen's 39 or something.

  • yea but i thought michael left to go play wit sammy hagar

  • yeah but why did they kicked him out?

  • they just had to kick mark anthony out just cause wolfgang is eddies son, not dissing wolfy, but still, anthony was good

  • do you mean MICHAEL ANTHONY?

  • Yes, TATA wanted to play with his child. You'll figure they'll have more respect for people. But what are you going to do?

  • lol mark antony is the dude in julius caesar. michael anthony is the bassist in van halen

  • wolfie isnt a bad bass player listen to 2:17

  • Roth absolutely positively sucks.

    Sammy rules!

  • i agree!!!

  • that kid sucks at singing

  • Yeah your name says it all scumbag, go fuck yourself. Wolfie got more tail on the last leg of the tour than you'll ever get. So shut the fuck up unless you've seen it in person. Douchebag.

  • /watch?v=yBokJXR7tqI

    SEE THIS!

  • Simply ROCKIN!!!!

    BRO!!

  • You know how you can tell Mike's not in the band? Bass=uneven and backup vocals=not sounding like anything special at all. Don't even get me started on Ed's playing here. But at least he seems happy.

  • im pretty sure wolfie isnt very good at backing vocals. i suck at singing so i dont have much room to tlk but hes reallllllly loud

  • いくらエディの息子でも、

    Michael Anthonyのコーラスが無くちゃ・・

    Davidの頭は悲しいけど仕方ない。

  • David lee roth looks like something out of the thunderbirds, fucken gay. he needs to grow his hair long again.

  • He's like 54 years old. Don't you think he'd look even dumber with long hair?

  • Wolfie looks just his mom. lol

    Ed is wasted here.

  • I think it's cool that Wolfgang's there. He looks like some kid that plays bass in his bedroom and has VH posters on the wall and somehow got to live his fantasy and play with VH. I can relate...

  • i thought Roth left the band. that sure as hell looks like David Lee Roth to me. Can someone explain to me what happened?

  • did they release a dvd of the tour

  • It's like karaoke .. we should let our heroes rip

  • I hate Eddies fat fuck of a son. He looks like a huge fag. And fallen, Michael Anthony kicked ass, he had the best back up vocals ever and I don't care if he was always drunk cause this Wolfgang fella doesn't know how to rock.

  • Wow...they really miss Mike's vocals!

  • lol idiot, it's Eddies son, Wolfgang.

    And i'm pretty sure he's older than 12...

  • my bad, he looks young as hell.

  • Wow...DAVID LEE ROTH's vocals are outstanding....i didnt think he still had it in him....i hope they put this tour on dvd!!!!!!!!!

  • his son cant play bas very good

  • you don't speak very well

  • he gets the job done. better than some alcholic.

  • man, they do miss MA's b-ground vocals

  • I wonder if we'll ever see a complete Van Halen line-up, with some distant Van Halen cousin that knows how to sing? :)

    I'm a very forgiving person, and haven't thought much negative thoughts towards this reuion tour. But hearing Wolfgang play those evil bass-notes at the beginning of this song hurts, it really hurts! :( Good luck to them though!

  • Dave raided Steven Segauls closet for that jacket...

  • 1:42........Now That's A Father-Son Moment At It's Best! Lol

  • what is that fat kid doing?

  • I beleive the Fat Kids making a boatload of money and screwing Supermodels while not ever having to have a real Job for the rest of his life because of his Super Rich and Famous Dad.........Guess being a Fat Kid beats the hell out of any kind of life you may have....And quit calling people fat you big Fatty poop headed bully !

  • Blue:

    Are you fat?

  • who says i'm not?

    ps: being in a band is more work than you'd think.

    sincerely,

    fatty poop headed bully

  • I know it is and thanks fir being able to take a joke.....Very cool !

  • do ya think eddie got hiss son to take up bass just to replace anthony

  • yes....in a way...

  • I guess, yeah, they were better once

  • Van Halen still Kickin ASS in America!!

  • ya Wolfgangs pretty lucky to have a dad that is like one of the worlds best guitarists in the world.

  • good song

  • His solo, he can do what he wants? Hey, I'm all for cheering him on, he was an inspiration to me and many. Same for his kid, what a great father/son experience!!

    BUT....not when I'm paying to see them. Musically, this was awful...professionally, its an insult to everyone that bought a ticket. Sorry to say that...I grew up on this stuff, and have seen a lot of reunion tours of other bands, and there just isn't any excuse for this utter shit.

  • They still kick ass

  • Dude, these goddam videos are way cool. Thanks a lot for putting them up, OK? Take care.

  • Van Halen rules! Diamond Dave

  • Wolfgang..............

    fatboy :)

  • Wolfgang doesn't fit

  • one of my favourite VAN HALEN songs! :)

  • I hate when eddie butchers this solo

  • its his solo, dickhead.. he can do what he wants

  • What the hell are you talking about,this isn't a fucking cover song!

  • Eddie can do what he likes,he wrote it!

  • How did you get such a good quality sound for live recording?

  • I went to the Van Halen concert on April in the BankAtlantic Center in Miami IT WAS AWESOME

  • wolfgang is really good for being his age

  • the bass sounds good in the begining

  • The whammy sounded cool at 1:59

  • I miss Michael Anthony

  • I would give my life to see this.

  • Wolfie looks like he could kick dads ass ;)

  • All those grins and looks between band members were always so fun to watch - now with i happening between father and son it's twice as fun.

  • Lets just remember them at their best.

    'Without a net' and Van Halen New Haven.

    Those live vids were so cool.

  • They all seem to be doing good. I hope Ed is even better after he gets back on the road. I prayed for Edward you know.

  • I was at the Vegas MGM show, one word to describe.........Eddie was the weak link, he made mistakes everywhere, his improv was sloppy and when he did his eruption solo, he sat on the edge of stage and blundered THE WHOLE THING, listen to him in THIS video, hes a mess! Sorry, my hero Ed, was a BIG dissapointment, that was REALITY that night.

  • God! Wolfie can't sing!!!! What the hell they put out him there for?! OH....he's Daddy's kid! But he is NOT a professional. He is too young to be with a bunch of grown ups! Perhaps he should drink some Jack Daniels, he probably would sound better than Michael Anthony!!

  • ROFLcopter!!!

    Jack Daniels...

    ...nothing against Wolfie.

  • This shows over......lets hope Eddies illness isn't life threatening.

  • i doubt it is, they probably wouldnt have rescheduled it if it was.

  • dude you've got just about the best live videos i've seen from this tour. i'm going to dallas monday to see them-can't wait. it's been 23 years since i've seen them. still love the music! thanks for the great videos!

  • so how was the VH show in Dallas that you went to???

  • classic intro...way to go wolfie! Overall, and amazing tour, I was at the show in Indianapolis (10/14/07) and there is only 1 word to describe it...INCREDIBLE!!

  • And he does it with style, too.

  • yup, sure does

  • it doen't matter on the guys weight, but yeah wolfgang need just a tiny amount of work. he's still good for only starting this year with the band.

  • that kid is alright i guess he just needs to work on his singing and his bass playing a little bit.and he needs to lose weight because all rock stars are either skinny or buff so yeah.he has a few things to work on.

  • I love Van Halen.................... but when Wolfgang started singing at the chorus.... it was really really weird sounding.....

  • weird means wrong notes as in dude can't sing harmonies......

  • Eddie Van Halen is a god and Alex is a great drummer so u know if Daves singin or Sammy singin really doesnt matter at this point it just seems that without Michael Anthony the harmonies suck the kid can't sing but overall its still pretty awesome.

  • What's the point of a ramp into the audience if your singer only uses it 4 times and one of the worlds best guitarist can use it because he is not on a wireless unit. The only people who are being performed to is the center floor section who paid a premium. People in the side arena sections are non-existant in the bands eyes.

  • Ed today can't seem to get that rich heavy sound that he had in his live shows in the late 70's. There is NO comparision to the band's unreleased videos I posted on my page of the late 70's with Van Halen's sound today! They still got it though.

  • Fordejalapa: I dont have a basement,in fact I dont even have a place to call home but I do have respect for people who influenced generations of musicians. now who you influenced?

  • I am a fan for over 20 yrs, but what is with Dave and the Red Hat every show during this song...looks like Disney's Jimmy The Cricket. His stage presence are classic stage moves from the Neil Diamond handbook. Would be nice if they would change the setlist song order. When all the fans know the exact song order and the show then loses it's bite. Shake it up a bit, don;t close with Jump...It was a popular song but a weak show closer.

  • they're probably keeping the same set list to make it easy for the kid on bass.

    I agree, Jump is too cheesy to end the show with. "Aint talkin bout love" would have been a better finale.

  • The hats symbolize ring master, and showman...Dave was just trying to be funny with them.

  • you suck

  • Judging by the acrimony of many comments I wonder if one of you guys has ever set a foot on a big stage? talk is cheap...keep living your cartoon lifes while this legends have fun,you assholes!

  • hey vinnydrum,

    do you wear a bandana just like alex when you play drums in your basement in front of a big mirror?? You rock!

  • fuck da haterz

    alex pwns

    wolfie fat-pwns

    DLR-double-pwns

    Eddie super mega-pwns

    Saw them in boston and it fuckin ruled

    if your gonna make a review from a stupid video then how about you suck my butthole

  • that fat kid suck ass

  • that fat kid is on stage with one of the best rock and roll band ever..what the hell are you doing for a living.

  • shity band and i will tell you why hes on stage his father play guitar and i dont care if its the best rock and roll band at your eye not 4 me but he suxx

  • shut the hell up. that's right his father is playing guitar and the kid can play too. if you dont care its the best rock and roll band then why do you comment at all. I love van halen seen them before Wolfgang was even thought of. so go play with yourself

  • hey dude your de one who reply my coment i was just sayind the fat kid vocal suck and your making my comment bigdeal and if you want to see a fucking good show go see metal one like i do and i wont even ereply your coment your anoying alway replying 4 that shity band how old are you 12?

  • it doesn't matter how old i am. I am defending the kid. I've seen metal shows more than you probably have. At least i knw wht I am talking about. As for my age 43 fool, learn how to take it.

  • not living off my dad

    if he's so good then he can do his own thing ...right?

  • gwar sucks ass.

  • yea :P scumdog 4 life and why your saying this? i guess you only heard a few song quick jugement very mature to say that anyway that your choice not fucking mine go listen your crapy vanhalen comercial shity old band

  • gwar is pretty much a rip off of kiss. which is as you say a commercial shitty old band. but if gwar ripped off a commercial band, doesnt that make them commercial too? or how about their spots on Viva La Bam?
