Vince G.(2261) | Our boys owned it last night, fellas. They sounded tight as hell, and Dave didn’t over-sing a single word. Oh, yeah…and, only Roth could pull off that suit.

It hit me by surprise that they came on that early. I was in my kitchen when I heard the intro. I thought it was awesome. Rewinded and replayed it 3 times. I thought the stage was freakin awesome. I loved the VH sign all over and the pyro. I think it’s obvious that the drum riser will be what we’ll see on tour but man having the Vh sign everywhere would be cool. Also the stripe pattern all over the back. There was some serious production dollars in that 5 minutes.

jroundy(1418) | The band looked and sounded great…. so glad they basically opened the show. They couldn’t have gotten more eyes on them following the Taylor Swift video and then she introduces the band. I realized last night that all the TV appearances by the band have been on ABC. Coincidence or contract obligation????
The poor folks play for keeps down here…They’re the living dead. Nobody rules these streets at night like Van Halen!!

guitard(7354) | The only negative thing I would say about the appearance was that the ‘real’ crowd (not that gaggle of people dancing for the tv camera) looked about as excited as a baby taking a nap.
|
ron(11802) | Gilligan: They’re getting some positive press!
Yeah, way more than a dozen different stories, and only a couple on the negative side.

Lamest audience ever… I wish they could have all exploded.
Resident dickhead. I will hurt your delicate feelings.

They were there for rap crap and hip hop slop acts lip syncing to a tape. Shit Bull and Chris Brown were a joke as were most of the other acts. Why let Kanye perform if you have to cut out most of the audio? He has about as much talent as a dog turd.

I think a dog turd is more interesting.

PT5150(6290) | David Lee Roth says he’ll never perform Sammy Hagar-era Van Halen songs, and says the reasons are obvious. First, Roth was never sure about Hagar’s commitment to the work. Second, he says, the public has made it clear which edition they favor.
“Well, there’s a credibility issue there,” Roth said, back stage at the Billboard Music Awards. “Good, bad or in the middle, you know Roth means it; the other guy doesn’t. And that’s why it sold half as well — literally, Midas Bible half. Never did better than half. And why would you bring that into the proceedings? This hamburger don’t need no helper. Ain’t no rehearsing pants in my closet.”
Of course, Hagar has previously expressed his own opinion on this subject. “The difference between Dave and I in that band, besides all the other million things, is that he can’t sing any of the ‘Van Hagar’-era songs,” he explained in a 2012 interview with the Boston Phoenix (courtesy of Blabbermouth). “Maybe he could do ‘Finish What You Started,’ possibly.”
Last night marked Van Halen’s first appearance at the Billboard Music Awards, which aired on ABC from Las Vegas. Roth just released his second project since returning to Van Halen, a live set titled Tokyo Dome in Concert. There, as with the band’s on-going concerts since his return, the setlists have focused on albums from Roth’s initial 1974–85 tenure, interspersed with songs from their 2012 comeback album A Diffferent Kind of Truth.
Hagar’s principal work with Van Halen stretched from 1985–96. Both singers had subsequent reunions with the group: Roth returned in 1996, and Hagar was back for 2003–05. Roth has fronted Van Halen ever since.
Asked about a potential studio follow up to A Different Kind of Truth, Roth struck a hopeful if non-committal stance. “I’m always writing and have written with a number of other people,” he said. “And I would always look forward to doing it again with Van Halen.”

Halenberg(406) | LOOK – The stage was even bigger than what we could see on TV….. 
|
Halenberg(406) | Gotta say I’m still perplexed by that Billboard Rundown list that said VH were going to play a Medley….. I’m wondering if they planned to do a Medley….( and if so wonder what would’ve it included) , then changed their minds……and obviously the rundown list was incorrect since it said they were to perform third from last….. So it’d be nice to find some answers about what went on there with that. It also occurred to me maybe the list was a hoax. (???) I checked to see and the list is still there on at least 3 different Instagram pages but none of them answered my question.
