Saw them in the 80s. Kicked ass. I'll pass now. I have no patience to deal with all the drunken knobs at concerts these days

My fiance took her mom to go see them last month. Kool and the Gang was the opening act.

I didn't recognise David Lee Roth without his trademark hair.

That "she's the woman" song is alright. And it's new.

on radio the songs sound good,eddie is playing his ass off and the band sounded good from some of the live videos i have seen from the tour,but dlr talks most of the words and acts like a bafoon ,he has always been a ham but now it's different being 20 yrs past .i did want to see them but after seeing the way he acted from what i saw i was happy i did 'nt spend $.

Saw them a few months ago. Pretty good show. Brought back some memories. David Lee Roth is still a very good front man. A total fruit for sure, but a good show man

How embarassing it is to see them now.

Much better with Mike and Sammy imho. There's always Chickenfoot, but it's too bad their songs are meh.

I saw them twice on this tour. Band sounded great. DLR sounds like crap. (He just talks the lyrics)...

I saw them (been waiting a long time for Roth to be back in the band) sounded amazing!
was kinna sad to see DLR look so old

Fortress · « **Reply #21 on:** June 24, 2012, 12:12:24 PM »

Eddie is one of the all-time greats, but his personality is a little less than optimal. What was done to Michael is inexcusable.

godeep · « **Reply #22 on:** June 24, 2012, 12:59:09 PM »

Saw them in Vegas last month, decent show. DLR is completely out of the closet and wayyy more flamboyant than before

Is he actually gay? Always wondered.

Roth sounded way better on the 2007 tour in recent years. But if you really wanted to see the kick ass shows you have to go back to the fair warning tour and before that. The 1984 tour was impressive for its size and scope but the guys were totally coked out and I think the shows suffered as a result. Eddie is one hell of a fucked up person and seriously, having Wolf replace Mike is stupid. Sure the guy plays well and all that but gimmie a break, having a twenty something year old standing around with a bunch of geezers is laughable really. The band tarnished its image with all the ridiculous line changes as so forth and how many times can people hear the same guitar solo? He's been playing that rountine for 30 years. Roths voice is finished.
