Private Show at SIR Rehearsal Studios last night [09.26.19] for DLR in Vegas

**EJC** · 09.27.19, 04:46 PM

I didn't dog Roth in my posts. He is what he is. I can live with what he's bringing to the table because he's a legend. Same with Sam. My issue is this:

The clips I saw, that band wasn't even NEAR the correct tempo on most of the songs. If I was in that band and a rehearsal started like that, I'd call everybody the fuck out and make them start over. A hundred times if need be - Until it's right. RWTD is not a fast song as it is, and then these guys are stuck in the mud. Surely there is a manager there in charge of shit that would say "HOLD UP! WHAT THE FUCK! HAVE YOU EVER EVEN HEARD THE FUCKING SONG??"

How can Dave not find ONE really good guitar player who can nail VH. There's a dozen of them HERE. Fuck, get Bart Walsh, he isn't doing anything.... Those guys in the vids sound like they are trying to read charts. This isn't mamba bullshit. Dave has got to know 90% of the people who are going to show up expect something CLOSE to the Van Halen experience. That ain't it.

Why the fuck is it so hard to stay focused and discuss what's up with Dave and what he's doing in the here and now?

I completely agree. That band sounded sloooow. I fully expect Dave to change his HFT lyric when they play that one, to "I think the band is slow."

One of the great things for so many years with VH, especially CVH, was they would play the songs at FASTER tempos live than what was on the albums.

Dave is just gettin' goin' here. You fucks are too harsh to donate to the links and watch it all play out.

(some of you fucks) donate now!

I know Luzier isn't avail anymore, but for the love of all that's right in the world, call up Brian Young and Lomenzo

Dave - I'll cover their salaries for half the shows if need be - You gotta roll with cats that can throw down...

Hey 47 - I donated Bro. Brett didn't put that little shield on my profile yet.

This was only 19 years ago, but it seems like Dave is 40 years older, damn...

**EJC** · 09.27.19, 05:18 PM

Actually its about 29 years ago....

Album dropped in January 1991. Video was probably done before the album was released.

Dave was like 36 years old there.

That was actually a great band. Luzier is one of my favs. Why is he not available, is he busy with Korn right now? A shame, because Korn sucks. I wish he, the DeLeo Bros, and Richard Martin would reform Army Of Anyone.

Lol that koRn gig pays ALOT more than a DLR Vegas residency I'm sure... That guy is a monster drummer. So glad he is recognized for his talent!

Not surprised one bit to see most people here shitting on him. Oh well.

Dave looks old, but it's not his fault, happens to everyone, and most ppl would overlook this. He made the stupid decision to hire 3 guitar player when, apart from in "Dirty movies" (which they don't even play), there's never 3 different guitar parts in VH. That's on him. Then his singing is, not always, but frequently terrible. Panama again was brutal.
On the plus side, he's presenting some amazing material to the audience. So he has that working for him.
