BigKahune Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 . Yikes! So bad there's a lot of speak/sing, and even that's off. . . <edit> Later in this thread Bence provides video of a nose injury on a previous take. So Dave bandages up goes on banged up like a trooper. Gotta give him props on that. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Last time I saw Roth was the 1984 tour in, well, 1984. They haven't changed one bit. Phenominal drummer, great singing bass player, awesome guitar player jacking it off right there in front of all of us, and that brick out front. He sucked then and still does. They are in danger of killing their history if they haven't already. Hagar must be wetting himself laughing by now. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 The baton twirling was very good. Yeah, I have to say he was a very good physical frontman, and did the sword thingies and stuff very well, great jumps off the drum riser, all that stuff was fine. I think when we were 24 it was ok to sit through, 30 years later I almost didn't make it halfway through the video! rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karloff Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Roth + Spandex = me never becoming a real VH fan. Eddie was/is awesome though! that right there is it. EVH can play. I've always acknowledged that. but it was always the posturing and antics of "That guy", that turned me off of the whole thing. I always liked Van Hagar better.

matiac Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Ya know, when it's time to quit, it's simply that, but I did see some ever so dim glimmers of the former brilliance from all of them...I feel bad for Wolfgang...guess Anthony's content with the 'ol Chickenfoot...are they still a thing?

Tman Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 EVH sounded great. DLR was pretty bad. Is that a bandaid on his nose? Must have had a basal cell removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I can handle some pitch-y-ness with the lead vocals, but you have to sing in time or it sounds really bad. And that was really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stein Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Wow. Is this a recent show? That's really a good question. I understand Dave was VERY rusty when they first re-formed. And of corse, age hits the singer first. His "style" of live performance didn't lend itself to getting old, either. I GET IT. But what I don't understand here, is many of the things wrong with this seem to me fixable with PRACTICE. When I used to give a poor performance, I went and practiced everything that sucked that I could fix, as did everyone who ever "sucked" at one time. Learning the words, timing, singing in tune (and also hitting notes that work), STILL this bad? Nobody is above practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
