“A third fan wrote, “Traveling back to the 80’s with Dave is a fun trip.”

Probably a little off topic but I’m sorry I certainly disagree with that. I was 18 when VH first album came out and I saw them live several times.....Roth is a proper jackass.....always has been, always will be.

Last show I saw live happened to be the very last show of that tour and he was so drunk he forgot the words to several songs and eventually climed up on a speaker cabinet, layed down, refused to come down and refused to sing at all.

He resented Eddie Van Halen for his talent and mentally tortured him for that reason for years.

A very small person with very little character IMO.

Sorry, just had to get that out.

Why would Eddie Van Halen allow that, since he was in charge?

Like Dave said, in the 80s “The Music Smiled, The Clothes Smiled, and the People Smiled”.

Enjoyed his voice on several songs and when he went solo

I had tickets for a concert in 1984

The Marine I worked next to told me he’d seen them before and that the show was awful

Well I had already bought the tickets

I went don’t remember who I took

They pretty much just jacked around on stage - I have told people that it was the worst concert I ever saw

I was surprised

he is talented, but he would have gotten farther had he gotten a little humble.

It was too much, like he had no sense of when enough was enough
