A VH tour with Ralph on lead vocals would be awesome! :) I know it won’t happen…but it should.

Meh. Why would you want to see imitation when the real thing is still available?

Ok. Watched the vid and he sounded just like the record. But still, I hated the movie Rock Star (save Jennifer Anniston).

But…. which one sounds like the real thing?

The poor folks play for keeps down here…They’re the living dead. Nobody rules these streets at night like Van Halen!!

You can catch Steel Panther on tour… Ralph is awesome, no denying it… but a VH-band + Ralph tour would be the laughingstock of the world.

Resident dickhead. I will hurt your delicate feelings.

Covered that. Let me know when Ralph writes original anthems and has bands cover those songs 40 years after they’re written. Also, let’s check back at his career when he’s in his 60′s. Assuming he still has one.

I get your point.. but these guys get paid so much better than they did in the CVH days.. I’m sure Ralph and the rest of the Steel Panthers guys could stop playing today and be set for life.

Well, he has been lead singing for over 20 years now, and Steel Panther is quite popular.

Really? I’d never heard of them until recently.

Ok, I didn’t realize he was the guy from the Punks. Like I said, he sounds just like the record and certainly better than Dave live. I’d still rather see the original, than an imitation who’s currently better than the original.

No offense to anyone and he’s obviously talented, but he’s nowhere in the same stratosphere, career-wise as Dave.

Dave is getting to be a mockery of himself. I’d love to hear Ralph get up there with Ed, Al and Wolf and sing those original tunes the way they were meant to be sang. It would be badass.

Ralph would also sing anything the band wanted to play… there would be no limits on what songs were performed.

I think something like this would only work if Dave decided to retire, and thought Ralph would be a good replacement.

I doubt he’d want to sing sappy tunes like love walks in or when it’s love… Don’t forget – Ralph comes from the CVH mold. I’m willing to bet he’s not a van hagar fan.. you may want to curb your expectations.

I saw the Punks live one time with Ralph and thought it was nearly the greatest thing ever. But still, for me, not as great as seeing Van Halen with Dave. Ralph was amazing and Ralph kind of IS what Dave WAS, but they are still two completely separate entities – one is real and one is an imitation.
