You were listening to it wrong.

welcome to the forums.

Van Halen's first tour was the first arena show I ever saw - Eddie and Dave were incredible. Eddie made those stupid faces BUT he was REALLY playing his heart out.

But the rumours are true - VH has jumped the shark. Re: backing tracks during live show - check out this humongous screw up at beginning of the current tour.

First video @ 0:54 seconds mark - Keyboard intro to 'Jump' goes horribly wrong and not even Eddie can make it better. He actually seems to ignore the whole deal and play the worst version of this song I've ever heard. Check his solo out??!!

(and someone tell Roth to drop the drum major act plz)

" I can’t tell which is funnier, this long-hated cheesebag-anthem turned into a much more interesting, atonal mess in front of thousands of paying customers or the hilarious soldiering on of the Van Halens as they look at each other from inside the trainwreck. Eddie tries to transpose on the fly and match the wildly fucked up keyboards but the great thing there is the difference in pitch is non-musical - about 1.5 semitones sharp. So there’s no frets he can choose to fix the problem!

So what happens when you’re Van Halen, the last song in your set list is the million-seller “Jump” with its synthesizer-keyboard opening…and the recording you’re using to play back the synth is accidentally run at 48K instead of 44.1K?

What happens could be this (recorded in Greensboro, NC four days ago):"

<EDIT>

and for comparison here is the same tour a few nights later in Toronto - Eddies 'chainsaw buzz' guitar is more or less in tune with the keyboards (or vice versa technically) But this is not the Eddie I remember. Ouch. Listen to the slop in the ending. <hides head in shame>



and I never heard all this stuff either? poor Mikeys pic was removed from albums etc. He shows some real class though.

This latest tour is a total sham. And I WANTED to believe...

"I have hope and faith, and that’s more than just the name of a couple of strippers from Albuquerque."

I've heard David Lee Roth make this same fuckin' joke in at least 3 interviews. Not sure if anyone else is familiar with and/or has noticed, but it drives me insane.

Somebody throw a brother some new material...

So's your face.

Welcome to the forums, cunty.

Notes on the show:

So we're Stupid Nerd Pussies? You know what, after Vegas...I'll take it. That's how fucking awesome New Years Eve was.

I also have no problem with Chemda doing a personal psychological analysis on me if she wishes. Frankly I can hardly figure myself out half the time so it'd be an honor to at least understand myself for the first time.

Oh and their dinner might have been their first REAL meal of 2008. The first meal was that SHIT room service around 7am. Remember the rubber pancakes?

Seeing Keith, Chemda and BroLo later that day (New Years Day) on our way to drop off the DaHonays camera, I could see in Keith's face that things weren't going well and I really didn't want to bug you guys too much. Sad that we didn't see Xumanity with ya. If there's a next time, we'll join in on more of the night fun.

Why the fuck are people complaining about a 3-1/2 hour show?? Thank god it's that long, I've been wanting new shows for weeks. If you like something, why would you want less of it?

[Junior]

An hour and a half in and Brolo has clapped about a billion times. That's how awesome he is.

I know a made another thread for it, but I thought it would be appropriate to put the crazy costume fuckers from the walk of fame in here.

The bathroom at Happy Endings was fucckkkked up. I don't think it was Keith, but I definitely had somebody shitting when I went in there. Leaving or not is a tough call, because zipping your pants back up and walking out would be being a west coast pussy. I took it in stride, pissed in the 4 foot long trough, and was on my merry way. What's more, the door to that bathroom opens directly to a view of the peetrough. So weird. I think that restroom was converted from a storage room or something.
