Joe Satriani, who had just performed a couple songs of guitar mastery/wankery depening on your level of fandom (personally I find his music incredibly cheeseball, despite the obvious technical skills). By Jennifer Maerz

It’s too bad Britney Spears & The Pussycat Dolls weren’t there for ya to review Jenn! Sorry honey but this is real music, played by real musicians without the cheesball lip syncing! Quite a concept eh?

Hey with Dave back in VH I am more inclined to give Sammy a chance. I am always going to be Dave or the Grave. Hopefully the chickenfoot will produce some classics. But,if not they all have one hell of a combined musical backlog to produce an insanely cool setlist!!Maybe I can stand Sam singing chili peppers songs lol maybe I just could:>)It’s all good now that I got Dave back. So I can look back and enjoy and criticize it all, now with less bias and just enjoy good music for good music’s sake. Maybe classic Van Halen is gone for good. But new music is being made and hopefully it can be as epic as Van Halen has been in all it’s incarnations.

I’ll give you that, Dave has Charisma, He is a master at “left-field” metaphores, and analogies. But in the end its about performance. No matter what one does for a living, if you cant perform eventually people aren’t impressed. You’ll always have the original fans- the diehards who grew up on the stuff, and thtas fine. Sorry though, Van Halen is Van Halen with dave or with Sammy. Its called VH because of the brothers nott because of Dave or Sammy. You guys who only like Roth cant stand VH being called VH with Sammy- well it was VH, just a different version. I get that you guys don’t dig Sammy, thats fine. I guess I feel lucky in a way then because I can listen to and appreciate Dave, Sammy, and even a couple of Gary tunes. Oh well, thank God we can all take the time here and there to Yap about crap like this that in the long run really has no affect on any of us. Wheather we like one version or the other none of those guys ever had a problem taking our hard-earned to see them.

C’MON NOW!
Diamond Dave does plenty of charity work sans the political BS agenda. Not to mention, he’s got more charisma in one pant leg of spandex than Morello shall ever have! But its all good. It was for a good cause and that’s cool with me. I still don’t know what your problem is with NASCAR? Hell even a Sammy Concert especially when Mike Anthony shows up it’s like a nascar event plenty of people partying to the high octane performance! Van Halen and Van Hagar are two different things. Where are we if a new album ever drops? Van Wolfie? I am sure we can all enjoy bitching about it.

The older version is better… You can hear Mike’s bass much better.. In the newer one, you can’t hear Wolfgang.. Prolly cus he still on his Mommy’s tit… When VH was younger, there was more passion and fire. But hey, soon you can get VH guitar hero…
