Disturber Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Forget about his bloody voice. The way he moves, the way he moves....!!!! He looks like he's a 90 year old woman and in desperate need of a stroller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakeboy Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Maybe the board has auto tune and the Helicon voice thing and other things that transform his voice to something sounding better at the Very least. That monitor mix, or FOH bleed, whatever it is on those songs...his voice just plain sucks now. His timing, delivery, stage presence all suck. When he simply talks to the audience he is ok. I saw the same show clip of Ain’t Talkin Bout Love and it was marginally better...but I still ended up convulsing in laughter at a musical icon. Cosmically hilarious is right @LucSulla ,and that is sad. Petty still could bring it on his last tour. So do Jagger and Springsteen. Frampton too. But OMG, Dave is bad now. He used to have what someone called a low growl that he would occasionally break out. He needs to ditch the VH tunes and find his new voice and figure out if, and what he can still sing. Maybe some low gravelly blues? IDK. What I do know is this: his attempting to sing VH ain’t working if this show is any indication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorch Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I was wondering and looked up his age in Wikipedia. He's a '54, so counting 66 if I'm not to old to compute. Bourbon will lumber the cask before it's matured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, that's the problem - he was a great entertainer with marginal voice at his peak. Now he's got neither and it's sad/creepy. If he's gonna do it (and try to sell tickets), he's got to stop these videos from getting out. ETA: remember those guitar videos from about 10 years ago where guys would dub really awful playing over Yngwie Malmsteen or some other shred guy? That's what happened to Dave.

But I think he’s going to do a major run as opening act for Kiss. Can’t believe that Gene or Paul would be happy if they saw these videos. Maybe Dave can clean things up by then but his voice seems really shot and those dance moves are right out of some weekend nursing home class. I hate to rag on the guy as I am fully aware and appreciate the VH impact on rock music. No need to tarnish the reputation. It’s like watching Willie Mays flopping around the outfield with the Mets after he left Frisco or Joe Namath last days in football with the Rams.

Toadroller Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 It took Father Time to finally slow the old goat down. Saw the Van Halen reunion tour back the 5-6 years ago and he's slowed significantly from then, which is saying a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy p Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 The Van Halen News Desk, where one would assume the admins are big fans, posted links to every song he did that night. I watched snippets of 6 or 7 and just stopped in sadness. I absolutely HATED DLR in Van Halen's early years but I liked the band so I went and saw them live. He was so funny and entertaining AND sang reasonably well that I did a 180 on him and thought he was one of the best frontmen ever. Oh how the mighty have fallen. I feel bad for the guy. I think he should do a podcast or write another book, but he should hang up the singing at this point in his life. The person doing the most damage to his reputation as a singer at this point is him.

His voice has received mucho criticism lately, but he'll sound like Freddie Fucking Mercury after a half hour of DLR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polara Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I agree maybe he would be great as David Lee Roth... the one-man show, the legend who's matured into some kind of Tom Waits growly road warrior sage with a suitcase full of wild stories. But still trying to be DLR ca. 1984,? That Diamond Dave was a 20-something, swaggering, SoCal horny Lycra rock dude. It's not a good sound or look when you've had your AARP for fifteen freakin' years already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Vince has been the butt of many a joke and online slagging since that stint in Vegas. Everything from trying to decipher his lyrics (think bad lip reading for hair metal), to torching him for his appearance. Again, not so much that he got fat but that he wears the get up that is not well suited to someone of that girth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what you were missing - Vince was missing actual words with distinguishing syllables in any recognizable language. If you had told me he was singing in Croatian I’d have believed you.

Jakeboy Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 LOL I didn’t say it was good, just better than DLR...I don’t know the Crue song with the familiarity I do the VH tunes so maybe it’s worse than I thought...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomerang~Junkie Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 FFS ~ kill me now to stop my ears from being assaulted by this damn geezer caterwauling. There is NO Autotune currently known to man that can pull that noise back to being on-key, hell even a key. Seriously - Is there no young, studly cover band lead singer type dude out there - like an Arnel Pineda to pull either of these bands out of their respective holes, I mean craters. Draft one of the guys from Steel Panther or something. I'll bet KISS kills off this HF mess before his scheduled implosion. These two burn outs are the absolute antithesis of aging gracefully.

LucSulla Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 At least Vince was pretty meh even in his prime. This was never aging well. It didn't even start all that well, haha. And I love old Crue as well, so I'm not just being a hater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
