DLR in Van Halen was kick ass when they were all young and a great band. Now I just think it's going to be depressing.

I feel sorry for Wolfgang. A 15 year old boy on tour and have to look at half naked 40-something groupies. I shudder to think about it.

I wish they hadn't bothered, it just tarnishes the legacy.  Roth's turned into a vaudeville performer (well, he always was really, but in a good way) and Eddie's a tramp.  No doubt they'll have separate tour buses (Roth's sponsored by Rogaine, Ed's by Ripple and Thunderbird) and never speak to each other offstage.

I'd rather see Sammy's band with Mike.  At least they seem to live in the real world.
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds

Saw them last year in LA and they were SO damn good

Ed looks like cr@p these days - http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1238245 :lol: best thread ever is that!

I remember that Atomic Punks video from ages ago, using Splawns if I remember correctly? Great tone and band :)

Atomic Punks uses Splawn ... they are better than VH will ever be now.

You'd rather have a cover band play LGS than my band?!

hehe

This new thing sounds like a cash grab as ben says, but I need to figure out a way to see them in the late 70's or early 80's.

:(










DVD doesn't count.  :lol:
