VAN HALEN ANNOUNCE 2012 TOUR, ON SALE JANUARY 10

[mpfsupra]

Van Halen isn't the same anymore. 4 Albums with Sammy went to number 1. David is good but no album with him went number 1.

[TheZeppelinfan100]

I think wolfgang should be in the band. first of all he plays bass and he is not bad. second he is a van halen, and it must make eddie so happy to play onstage with his son.

[jpehlloo]

Van Halen, Van Schmalen I'd rather go see a RATT concert than watch another watered down version of the one band I love the most! Eddie needs medication with all of his control issues and nepotism. Quit dicking around and put the ORIGINAL band back together!

[elfhermie]

@jpehlloo Are you mental? Apart from the bass player, this IS the original lineup! And since Antony is in another band now, Eddie's son's a pretty damn legitimate person to be called a real VAN HALEN! Look at his last NAME!

[TheWhiskeyChuck]

@jpehlloo Ratt. Enjoy the show dude, they won't be original either, guess your fucked.

[MrVHWolf]

Sammy Hagar is the Rosie O'donnell of rock - no talent, fat, ignorant, boring, famous for no reason, full of themselves, full of hate, and both cry like a bitch.

[olora11]

Looking forward to the VH concert here in Louisville, KY Saturday night! Got a huge group of friends arriving in a party bus, all set for a fun time without having to worry about driving! The fact that David Lee Roth is in the line-up was the driving force for so many of us to jump on board. There's a dare out there to wear some vintage Roth spandex, but I think I'm going for the 'hot for teacher' look, just for fun! What happened to Michael Anthony though?

[VICTOR400HP]

the sammy hagar lineup was the best for van halen

[xpez]

its fun to see David Lee Roth step into his natural roll....HAHA If only their egos could have been smaller their lives would be so different right now. How many amazing original Van halen records would we have by now???

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

lol, goofballs

i got your reciprocation

/watch?v=F_lP1NFn8fU

braindeaf morons

[mcarroll1031]

It wont be Van Halen till they get rid of fat Vallerie and get Michael Anthony back

[EPI6fingers]

The greatest band of all-time Van Halen! This new CD will be a 10 million + sales in just the usa alone!

[computerpurple]

Does anyone know the story as to why Michael Anthony isn't in the mix?.

[computerpurple]

Hope they will play in Ohio.

[kenbu2]

David and Eddie must be on cocaine again to decide to get Kool and the Gang as the opening act.

[Rockstarada2]

You know what I challenge anyone that's a true fan of VH to deny this one huge fucken

thing. On there greatest hits vol. 1 release

the best shit on that album was what ? The

two new jams @ the end . I've seen them on

three important defining times , end of 1984 tour , the last show of the 5150 tour , and

the first show back with Roth . They are

better than ever cause they still fucking rock

better than the rest. And finally the way they

look ? Have you seen yourself lately ??????

[pinkirosi]

@Rockstarada2 ...i second that

[coatlicue2012]

Wolfie needs to follow mom's example and lose the fat...C'mon man you're young and wealthy, shouldn't you be in better health? At your age I was a poor college student and still getting plenty because of my body. I found time to workout even with my busy class schedule and part time job.

[kkamalanii]

I, love David Lee Rooth and the rest please please tour Hawaii!!!!!

[Markle6]

@kkamalanii .... geographical location dropper

[kkamalanii]

@Markle6 Yeah! I know but I remenber the Rolling stone in Hawaii!! what kind I say!! there is no one like Van Halen.....

[aliahrocks]

Honestly I can't consider this a real Van Halen lineup, not without Antony involved in it.

[computerpurple]

@aliahrocks Hello i too LOVE Van Halen. By chance do you know what the story is in regards to Michael Anthony not being in the mix?. My favorite album is Fair Warning.

[aliahrocks]

@computerpurple Sorry but all I know about M. Anthony not being involved comes from the Wikipedia Van Halen page. You can check it too.

[computerpurple]

@aliahrocks Thanks for taking the time to post a reply. I do appreciate it.

[justentime77]

@aliahrocks You should listren to how blistering Wolfgang's bass playing is on the new record! Never mind 'Tattoo', they have some kick ass song's that sound like vintage VH!

[aliahrocks]

@justentime77 It's not a matter of skill. Though Wolfie is surely a gifted young musician, I do not think it was right to fire a veteran of the group to accommodate it.

[elfhermie]

@aliahrocks Well, that's dumb of you. I guess, the Sammy years weren't real either then since one guy was missing? No? Then wtf? Bass players are the most easily replaced unless they're really kickass like Steve Harris or Geddy Lee. Otherwise, their parts can easily be played by anybody. Sorry, but it's true. Antony is no Steve Harris.

[aliahrocks]

@elfhermie Now I know that you aren't a bass player. Bass is not about how many notes you can stick in a nanosecond. It's about style, sound and groove. Sure a bass player can be replaced with another one without destroying a band other than, say, Yes, but not without a price to pay in terms of balance. Michael Anthony is no Steve Harris, no question about it, nor is Geezer Butler. Would you prefer Billy Sheehan in Black Sabbath only because he's flashy? U.F.O. tried this move and it didn't work

[TheWhiskeyChuck]

@aliahrocks Honestly? The key to the band is Mike not Ed or Dave's sound huh? Mike is with Chickenwing, let it go.

[666orsexsexsex]

while i do like sammys music with vh a reunion album with roth has been long overdue

[XxBxangel93xX]

THEY NEED SAMMY HAGAR INSTEAD OF ROTH!!

[frompower2popmetal]

@XxBxangel93xX....That's bullshit Roth is better than Hagar as VH's singer and frontman but Sammy's a nice guy but his voice was an acquired taste and intially I could'nt stand the new music w/hagar but thank goodness some of the songs were so good that it eventually overrode the fact that Sammys voice just does'nt fit the VH sound

[TheWhiskeyChuck]

@frompower2popmetal It's funny when you have to acquire a tast that means you thought he sucked too at first . . . Just sayin.

[megashegem]

They already played a concert at some small bar David used to go to. The radio station here in L.A. played some songs someone taped. They sounded good but Davids voice could use some improving. It sounded like he couldn't hit some notes. There new song needs some getting used to also.

[63gemgirl]

Eddie battled cancer and maybe they can finally perform, without any drama!

[thekidtuco]

What a bunch of crap, "new brother" give me a break! Dave is good but full of himself. Eddie will end up screwing him over too!! By the way the grammy awards were with Sammy not Dave fools!! Most of 1984 is dated. As for the tour, duh. When you charge over 75 dollars for a ticket ofcoarse it will be a cash cow. The best tour ever?? Not without Mike!! Don't buy into the hype. THEY WILL NEVER BE METALLICA OR U2'S OR AC/DC'S STATUS. NEVER!!!!

[manchurvideo]

Chicago:  Sunday April 1st, 2012 Allstate Arena (Rosemont, Illinois)

[Mckeesong1]

Where's Micheal Anthony?

[vanhalenshredder]

@Mckeesong1 Him and DLR never really made up, and he was in chicken foot when they did the 07 tour, so they never got him back, so wolfies in his place. I saw the 07 tour and it was FUCKING AWESOME, so I will again this year.

[MidnightSM]

Always lovethe album Fair Warning. Dirty Movies was a great song that didn't get a big push.

[computerpurple]

@MidnightSM Fair Warning is my favorite VH album. LOVE Mean Street- especially the way the song opens up.. awesome.

[justentime77]

@computerpurple Then you'll love the new record, it's right in those lines!

[computerpurple]

@justentime77 Thanks for the information. Looking forward to it.

[warfare851]

word locally is the tour starts in louisville,ky at the new kfc yum center....lets hope.

[evhwolfgangguitar]

Eddie Van Halen

David Lee Roth

Alex Van Halen

Wolfgang Van Halen

Van Halen Welcome Back Home

Might as well JUMP

[TheNicoli12345]

I, for one am glad to see them back, I don't care if anthony isn't in the band, we haven't even heard one song from their new music. It could be kickass. Even though I'm only 16 and haven't gotten to live through 1984, diver down, etc. But all I can say is I'm pumped to have my favorite band ever back on the stage.

I just wish their youth stayed with them. Their age is catching up to them :(

[StoneColdCrazy74]

Woah guys! Way too much arguing...Michael Anthony does belong in the band and was an integral part, period. However...give this reunion with DLR a chance! It's the best we can get so why not make the best of it? 2012 is going to be an amazing year for classic rock fans with Van Halen, KISS, Black Sabbath and Aerosmith putting out new music. Enjoy what comes, because our favorite bands are in their last years. Give VH a chance guys. They've given us some amazing music, so give them a chance now!

[MinstrelBuoy]

hey hey i for one will be happy to get my hands on this as soon as possible. great band in the day!

[lespaulowner1]

wow such harsh comments.......how about the unreal music they laid down do you disrespect thomas edison cause he cant compete with the new l.e.d. bulbs? do u talk badly about william shakespere because he doesnt have a pixar movie? these guys were kings of an age in the 80s none were higher in their field they MADE IT.....remember when we were gonna MAKE IT? well we didnt they did in every way so maybe your all just a little jealous... prove me wrong go make one song better than they did......

[crazytempest]

My plea to David Lee Roth , PLEASE SING THE FUCKING SONGS ! 1st job of a frontman = SINGER . bullshitting and being funny mean nothing if your ad libbing too much and not singing melody lines . Saw u twice and it SUCKED ! I'll be waiting to see I'd you've changed .

[TheCATSDW]

Pine Knob in the D I hope

[rockerlawyer]

these two guys did more cocaine than Colômbia could ever make... I´m really hoping this is good news in hard rock, not just like Guns ´n´ Roses return

[WTFremixer]

God he's so arrogant. I need some more money. Hey who we got around? Dave? Ok you'll do. Time to tour!

And yes I'm a big VH fan. Doesn't mean Eddie isn't a prick. lol

[mmenese100]

Fuck you VH haters. All I can say is welcome back Van fucking Halen. Atlanta is waiting for the boys to JUMP back on stage!!! Hell yeah

[TheMachineX2]

CHICKENFOOT is way better.

[InfiniteRhombus]

BRING BACK ANTHONY

[TheMachineX2]

reunion ? try a wake... they look horrible. freakin dave and eddie look like train wrecks.

Welcome Back vanhalen

[realityeaters]

dude? DUDE!!

[JBL8863]

I think with all great tallent there comes a time when it's better to retire and be remembered. Drug addiction publically exposed through performing and the user can't tell the differance This applys to actors, athletes, musicians...

I get it, some always wished Dave would get back with EVH but facts are its been 27 years since 1984 release.

EVH they moved on and found Sammy. What EVH has done is moving backwards with DLR attempting to act like they were still in 1978-1984. just for money!

[LightUptheSky000]

Dude, they tried something new with Gary Cherone, didn't do well. There is something about the dynamic between Dave's voice and Ed's guitar. Just that simple. Im a Sam fan too.

[LightUptheSky000]

Long live the greatest rock band of all time, long lIve THE MIGHTY VAN HALEN !!!

[JohnTouchstoneTV]

Van Halen is back on top of the world !

Loved the new video trailer

John 

[MDC01FLY]

Love it But wtf, bring back Michael Fuckin' Anthony man! All this half ass shit with these fucking bands! I know you can't have it all, but its not like Van Halen's going to fucking pay me to play. We're paying them! BRING BACK MICHAEL ANTHONY! (Well, that's if he'll come back! Oi!)

[JBL8863]

What's sad is this was taken 4 years ago, no wait almost 5 years ago when they called attention to Dave getting back into the band...It wasn't a reunion tour without Mike.

This tour also fell short and some dates where cancelled due to Eddy's addictions.

I truely love Classic Van Halen, check my channel out you will see what I mean but I think Eddy and his demons have caught up to him and stole what once was.

All druggies never think about the damage until it's to late, no comming back

[LightUptheSky000]

@JBL8863 No shows were canceled, just postponed.

[JBL8863]

@LightUptheSky000 LOL yeah tell that to the people still waiting since 2009 for the show they bought tickets for and never seen Van Halen perform...LOL

It was announced today Van Halen is going to tour before the release of the NEW CD is made public, according to souces the new CD dosen't even have a name? Late January-Feduary a single video will be released from one of the songs, wow talk about doing things backwards!

Usually a band release a NEW CD then eventually tours. This is wrong.

[LightUptheSky000]

@JBL8863 Dood, what are you talking about?

[eddiewlynch]

Wish it was with Sammy!

[LightUptheSky000]

@eddiewlynch Then you've never seen them with Dave. :)

[JBL8863]

@eddiewlynch It would actually have been a better show had it been. That bridge is gone! Mike is on the better side of playing music with SH.

Dave was legendary in the late 70's and early 80's but just like most egomaniacs his window of fame and raw tallent has closed. Sure he can jiggle and throw a spinning stick around but he lost his mojo a long time ago when it comes to actually performing.

Mike Anthony also played a huge role in backing vocals and without him, Van Halen will never be

[Coolyfett]

Should be a fun time!!

[gslbrineshrimp]

Greatest rock band ever--with David Lee Roth, not Sammychicken! Can't wait.

[jch5150]

Finally...some good VH news!! Now to get Mike back in the band!!

[the5zangs]

So Exited!!

[kajns420]

OMG I I have loved Van Halen since the 80's !! DLR & VH posters all over my wall, Of course I then moved on to Motley Crue, but I digress.... I loved VH, Love DLR but VanHagar Rocked just as hard!!!! I hope they come to Houston, Cuz I'm so there with my 13 yr old son, to show him just what REAL music sounds like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[scotshiers]

shame to see another group of 'used to be great' musician/actor/etc whose mismanaged finances finally allow them to regurgitate what used to make them great. Van Halen USED to be the greatest rock band in the world...in the 80's. Sadly, just seems to be another grab at some retirement income. Prove me wrong Van Halen, put out the kind of album that literally made my jaw drop the first time I heard it !!!

[Coolyfett]

@scotshiers What city do you live in bub??

[LightUptheSky000]

@scotshiers Dude, you're kind of out of the loop, aren't you? The Reunion Tour brought in 90 million, 2nd highest grossing tour of 2008. Ed sells TONS of EVH equipment. And they are all still raking in big bucks from sales royalties. No one needs money. True fans know they've been working on this album since they finished the tour. It's very important to them that it be well received. It's ready, they're ready, what were you bellyachin about? See you at the show!

[evhwolfgangguitar]

Van Halen - Long Version Trailer

[evhwolfgangguitar]

Can't wait !

The Best Is Back

Van Halen

[scottiefink]

No Michael Anthony?...I'll pass.

[LightUptheSky000]

@scottiefink Dude, don't pass. We all feel the same, but you really won't want to miss this. I have a feeling by the time they have some songs on the radio again and all the hype gets going, you'll want to go. Dude, this is gonna be HUGE!

[computerpurple]

@LightUptheSky000 "By the time they have some songs on the radio".... Hate to brake the news to ya.. radio today is DEAD. Sad but true.

[johnfenninger91]

HELL YEAH



[jayou812a]

wow eddie's using a new wolfgang stealth!

[ChamoPeskdor]

Michael Anthony will NEVER play with them again

[Coolyfett]

@ChamoPeskdor Whats the story behind that??

[LightUptheSky000]

@ChamoPeskdor I wouldn't bet on that. Mike hasn't said anything negative since they let him go, unlike Sam. Who's knows what form the band could take in the future. I've always said I thought Wolf should play 2nd guitar to dad and then bring Mike back.

[rodentcafeteria]

Where's Michael Anthony? It's not the original Van Halen without him.  And, Eddie looks like shit.

[TheMajik07]

@rodentcafeteria Micheal decided to go with Spammy Hagar and Chickenfoot. It sux but what do you do. I'd rather have both but Van Halen sucked bad without David Lee Roth. This version is much better than Van Hagar.

[bread0021]

@TheMajik07 dude sammy totally kicks the shit out dlr back when he took his place and still kicks dlrs ass even now

[TheMajik07]

@bread0021 Check the sales of albums with Van Halen vs Van Hagar (not even close) Which music holds up over time better, Van Halen over Van Hagar. Which singer do most fans prefer . . . David Lee Roth. Kicks his ass? Lets see who has more album sales . . . Van Halen or Chickenfoot. The 2007-2008 tour was Van Halens biggest EVER. If Sammy is your personal favorite . . . great! But Van Halen is much more successful than Van Hagar.

[bread0021]

@TheMajik07 i don't know what planet you are from but its not this one obviously its not this one!! firstly vhs sales are gonna be higher simply because they weren't having to deal with the internet downloaders ripping them off and secondly dave never had a great voice and sammy is technically far superior and thirdly chickenfoot only has 2 albums out and is only a side project anyway. all just a money grab and hey go ahead and waste your money on a tone deaf sack of shit who forgets his lyrics

[TheMajik07]

@bread0021  So I guess we will see how the new Van Halen sales go with the "internet downlowders". Dave has a bluesy vocal sound, don't care about "technically". A side project? What's the main project? Sammy's been promoting that side project like it's the best thing in the world. If it were a money grab they wouldn't have waited 4 years from their most successful tour EVER to release the album. I will bet you the new Van Halen Album out sells both Chickenfoot albums combined.

[bread0021]

dave cant sing these days he can't even remember the lyrics!!!! if it wasn't for sammy taking him on that last tour with him he would be still in the gutter. its taken four years for daves brain to work and even then he sucks eddies cock so that it works!! and by the way this is over tosser!!!! i ain't wasting anymore time on you peace out

[TheMajik07]

@bread0021 Sounds like you suck Sammy's! When you can't back up you words, I guess you run. Van Halen with DLR will be remembered long after Spammy. Unless you count the 80's love ballad collection, Spammy does have Dave beat on that one! Better go put your Bigfoot and the gas. LMAO!

[justentime77]

@bread0021 The new Van Halen record SMOKES anything put out by Chickenfoot and Dave sounds great!

[frompower2popmetal]

@bread0021 .... "a tone deaf sack of shit who forgets his lyrics" Have you ever seen Dave live or heard the new album yet? You "I cant drive 55" need to shut the fuck up and acknowledge that this is the closest thing to real VH that we have heard since 1984 and ftr I do like Sammy now too and will go to his solo shows but chickenfoot was just too stupid

[TheWhiskeyChuck]

@frompower2popmetal Chickenwing, Chickenshit, just throwing out some other names to use . . .

[bread0021]

@frompower2popmetal and yeah i have heard the new album and it sux big time. i have heard dave live and yeah he sux. chickenfoot fucken rocks and sammys solo stuff rocks hard too. im entitled to my opinion mate so get over yourself and personal insults on someone for having a totally different opinion to you says more about you than it does about me peace out

[TheMajik07]

@bread0021 In a wheelchair? Dave is 7 years younger and about 100 pounds lighter than Sammy. If you like Sammy Van Hagar, you might also like Air Supply, Michael Bolton, etc. Enough Love! Why Cant this Be Love, Love Walks In, etc Cant Stop Loving You etc etc. PUKE!

[compworld1]

Van Halen in 2012. Good news. Just keep that fat bloated power ballad singing hack Bette Midler, uh I mean Sammy Hagar away from all things VH and everything will be fine. The Roth era is where VH's legacy lies. Get used to it. Doesn't matter whether you like it or not. The truth is the truth.

[gunsnhalen]

@compworld1 if you say so boo boo. I'm glad your the big authority on all thing's VH as if people can't like Sammy.

[sabbath178]

No Michael, No show!

[LightUptheSky000]

@sabbath178 Ok, but you're the one missing out. We'll miss seeing you there. Dude, this is HUGE! Get over it, it bugs us all, too.

[1957thack]

I'll be really surprised if this tour even gets off the ground!!! No changing Diamond Dave!!!

[TheMajik07]

@1957thack This will be the second tour with Dave back, '07-'08 was the most successful Van Halen Tour EVER and they have been together since.

[vanhalenreserve]

Van Halen

[johndenner]

Can't wait to see the new world tour ! Thanks for posting Artisan News Service

John

[Nigelcf]

Eddie doesn't look at all well here to me : /

[LightUptheSky000]

@Nigelcf Really? Take a look at a pic from say, 2004. It will scare you. He looks healthy and fit now, just a little older, that's all. Can't be that little kid from Pasadena forever.

[MsPokeyman]

I still would see OZZIE !!! LOL

[MsPokeyman]

anyone that would spend good MONEY if it was not the original BAND - that is all I meant to say - Sorry you must be one ! LOL

[MsPokeyman]

IF NOT A REUNION WHAT IS IT FOR ? TO TAKE MONEY FROM IDIOTS?

[1111krol]

@MsPokeyman who you callin idiots?

[MsPokeyman]

I would rather see OZZIE !!!!!!

[MsPokeyman]

BORING unless it is ther REAL BAND not your son....wolfie

[LightUptheSky000]

@MsPokeyman Dude, if you'd kept up over the years you'd know. Wolf is a musical genius, like his dad. I love Mike too, we all do, but this is how it is. I choose to believe there is still hope for Mike being around again. Hate to say it, and I've never thought it before, but Ed has lived hard, could go anytime. Then Wold would take his place, (have you heard his guitar?), and Mike could come back. Heaven forbid. Or Wolf might want his own band. Who knows. Just show up!

[JBL8863]

@LightUptheSky000 Your delusional! Please stop! Ed's son has jammed with bands because of his dad's name and not because he is a prodogy musician...

You are truely a Van Halen worshiper and see no wrong it what's going on and that's fine but the rest of us that are old as you or older see it all together differantly.

Let's just a agree to disagree. Van Halen moved on after Dave and now have moved backward with him. Mike was main backing voacls and now isn't. Ed's son isn't all that.

[Ellipser]

Dried up old farts are drinking Boost now instead of booze.

Last I watched Van-Halen they had some guy named Gary singing about fires in assholes and spreading his faggot ass in fans faces.

[flyyspit]

Eddie your kid has NO place in this...

PERIOD

[MsPokeyman]

@flyyspit you are right - nothing against his son but it will not be a real team if the REAL BAND is not there. SO I would not see them if it is not ther REAL VAN HALEN Band....THEY must want MONEY!!

[LightUptheSky000]

@flyyspit Ever heard him play? We all love Mike, don't be bitter, man. It will ruin it.  This is HUGE!! Come have fun.

[flyyspit]

Bring back DOUBLE vocals with Hagar maybe TRIPLE vocals with Cherone..Stupid isnt it ??

IT wont be a reunion until..

Thats right

Michael fuckin Anthony is INCLUDED

[aww3590]

I saw them in '77 when they were backing Black Sabbath, funny how time flys, credit card at the ready!

[MsPokeyman]

@aww3590 I would rather see OZZIE

[RobinStrower]

Great news.

Cheers,

Robin :o)

[1977BanditTransAM]

"I HEARD YOU MISSED US WE'RE BACK!!!!" Van Halen

HELL YEA WE MISSED YA!!! =VH= FANS

[Hunkola]

Diamond Lee Roth ---- doing flying spin kicks like it was the 80's !!!

[thatwerksdotcom]

MICHAEL ANTHONY FOR THE WIN!

[Cosmicalex13]

awesome. I saw them back in 07 when Roth came back. I'll probably go see them again, there is no better singer then David Lee Roth for Van Halen.

[nissansentraglx]

would i see the tour, yea of course. am i pissed at the lack of respect the vh bros show to mike. very much. he helped make them successful, we all know that. by having wolf, that's more $ to the others, unless dave is on a contract too, like mike was in 2004.

[MetalMakesMeEargasm]

FUCK YES! I WILL ET TO SEE EDDIE SHRED!

[SnyderRon]

Long Live Rock & Roll!

[espltdguitarlover]

I am dreading this tour.. Wolfgang cant keep a beat...Dave cant sing worth a shit... and if Ed didnt clean up his act then his guitar playing is still the same from the last tour and that was Bad.. bring back Mike Anthony

[Sideler74]

@espltdguitarlover: I don't know what your smoking. I was at their Philly Show (3rd show of their Tour) It was like listening to a C.D. 

[espltdguitarlover]

@Sideler74 out of the 3 shows I saw.. (Philly show included) 1 was decent but not anything i would write home about, one had Ed so fucked up he could barely keep his guitar in tune and the last was a fricking disaster. Out of all the shows if you seriously thing that Wolfgangs playing is decent then you need music education. And if you think Daves voice is anything more than shit, then you need your ears checked. Sorry but Van Halen is no more, and I love Ed as an inspiration.

[LightUptheSky000]

@espltdguitarlover Um, wrong. Wrong. And oh ya, wrong again. Wolfgang is a musical genius, like his dad. Dave's voice is better than ever if you ask me, I saw three shows during the reunion. He sings as well as he ever could, but now he tries harder to sing all the lyrics, isn't drunk, and is a little humbled to be back in the band, you can tell.

[espltdguitarlover]

@LightUptheSky000 Kid how old are you? 19? 20? 25? Calling Wolfgang a musical genius shows me that you are one serious idiot. Dave's voice is better? once again you show that either you are just dumb or tone deaf.. neither Wolfgang nor Dave belong in the "Van Halen" camp . ask any decent musician how Wolfgang plays and they will tell you hes a garage band player that's it, and after seeing him play 3 times i rate him as a beginner. Dave just plain sucks now. Van Halen is gone

[LightUptheSky000]

@espltdguitarlover No dude, you're the one that's got it all wrong. I'm 46 and I've seen every tour since Fair Warning. Eddie himself has talked about Wolf's abilities. He thinks Wolf is better than himself. Wolf has sat in with numerous big name LA bands, playing drums, guitar, and bass. And as far as Dave's voice, go back and listen to live stuff from the early days and compare.  Dave didn't even try to sing half the lyrics, or would forget them, or was drunk and didn't care.

[espltdguitarlover]

@LightUptheSky000 Your 46 and a complete idiot when it comes to spotting talent.. Wolfgang has no talent..period. Dave has no voice.. period. Ed was once the king of guitarists who i emulate to this day with my playing..Is he still that good? No he lost his ace in the hole years ago with substance abuse...period. If you are 46 you are really dumb. Stop worshiping Van Halen like they just were discovered at Gazarris last year. They lost it many yrs ago. Move on



[jr1434]

i can envision DLR sliding...er, wheeling across the stage in his wheelchair...or perhaps his walker. 

[LightUptheSky000]

@jr1434 Nope, he's still doing those darn giant leaping leg kicks. Wonder if you or I will be able to when we're 54? Or at any age?

[bread0021]

@jr1434 fucking very true lol

[notfarc1]

BLAH,BLAH,BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.HE­Y ED, SUCK MY DICK

[THEMESSIAHISETHANOL1]

Too little, too late. I saw VH five times in the 80s'.  This is only a money tour, because their

millions are getting low. I won't spend a dime on this crap. Maybe 10 years ago I would.

@bestoluck1 "only a money tour" have you considered that they've gotten many more fans that weren't around during the 80s'?
