They Can Still Jump

David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen clown around as if nothing has changed in 20 years!
The tempestuous twosome kicked off their Van Halen reunion tour Thursday night in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Our bet's on the band breaking up within a month and cancelling the rest of the tour!
And, let us just say…
Since he stopped doing the drugz, Eddie's been looking really hot - for a senior citizen!

P.S. Maybe you guys should bring a shrink on the road with you like Metallica

FIRSSSST for sure!!! hello dalou!
bah

It's awesome to see VH back together, but DLR's hair is WAY disturbing. To watch it devolve from his once-long, lush, wavy badass mane to…. that? He look like Carson "Queer Eye" Kressley (sp), esp. in that first pic!
!!!
it looks like eddie headbutted something and is bleeding!!! i wouldn't let his blood anywhere near me!!!
Naa, they won't cancel any shows because they need the dough!!!
Wow. I thought it was Sigfried and Roy!
Rock on VH !!! show the cheesy emo kids how to do it right.
roth is a rock and roll insurance salesman. edward rules though.
even on your best day, mario, you couldn't hold a candle…senior or no senior…this is what people with talent and substance look like…study hard, and maybe you'll discover yours someday!
VAN HALEN IS THE MOST OVERATED AMERICAN BAND EVER.
I GIVE THESE ASSHOLES 6 SHOWS AND THEY ARE DONE.
MARK MY WORDS FUCKOS…..
What can I say Perez, you nailed it, however, if Davey had to work as a paramedic in between gigs, maybe they are all touring because it can generate lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!
man that last line hurt!
he really does look like carson from queer eye!!!! LOL
Thank GAWD Diamond Dave got rid of that shiteous scraggly hair!!!
I saw this show last night in Charlotte! It was AWESOME! Rehab looks good on Eddie!!!!
The reviews I've heard have been very positive about the line up/show. Well done guys!
You people are just jealous!! This tour is the most anticipated in years. Van Halen does and will continue to rock!!
I'm going to the show in Philly next week and I can't wait!!!!
The only thing missing is Michael Anthony!
Eddie had surgery and a 1/3 of his tounge removed from cancer.
Yeah, Ed's looking real hot, especially for someone who is rumored to have HIV.
YUCK - old rockers! EEEEEEK!!!!
Shit! Eddie is old enough to be my dad but he looks fuckin good!
dlr looks better with his hair shorter. eddie is looking good again. they better not cancel before heading to vancouver. so looking forward to it.
i feel embarrassed for both of them, particularly eddie.
I heart Charlotte!
David Lee has HAIR PLUGS!! It wasn't long ago that he was bald!
Dude, stick to the things you know about like boy bands and sucking cock and playing butt darts.
You dont even know that names of more than Van Halens first album.
Ed is touring/playing with his son Wolfgang now and VH is going to complete their tour.
Have a nice time sucking on that dicksickle. Leave the talk to real bands like Van Halen to the real men out here. Keep your focus on Britney and the Backdoor Boys.
I hope they stay together for the Seattle show on Dec 3rd! I got tickets! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heck , I LOVES ME some hot older guys. I'd happily stick it in either one of these studs
Heck , I LOVES ME some hot older guys. I'd happily stick my 11 inch dick in either one of these studs
I love this band and finally they have the best singer and frontman Van Halen has ever had back with them. At least they are not trying to keep their long locks as they age, which would only make them look older. Why doesn't Bret Michaels get a clue and chop off those long locks…it only make you look older and out of touch with current times man. Long live Van Halen ..they rock!!!
In London of old there lived a man
with an iron shovel for a hand.
His trade was as a baker, though,
the grave digger would like to know,
can he come by Tuesday after tea,
to dig a spot for you and me?
Awesome!
I wish I was there
VH 4 life!
BTW….I LUV U PEREZ
But I luv Sammy Haggar even more!
Sammy Hagar Rules…. David Lee Roth SUCKS!!!!!!
david lee roth is an ass! I hope that the tour fails just because he's on it!
i fucking love theses guys!!!!!!!!!! diamond dave forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VHalen is David and Eddie.
If you want Sammy, go to Cabo.
They must all really really need money.. because I see someone ending up with a broken nose or broken dick by the end of the tour.
Why does David Lee Roth look like Carson from the Queer Eye??????
THEY ARE NOT GOING TO SPLIT, because Eddie is sober now and not so much of a pain-in-the ass. I am praying they come to D.C.!!!!
I was there!!!!
It was amazing.
Roth sounded great! Eddie sounded great! Alex sounded Great. Wolfie is the MAN!!!!!!!!! His vocals and bass playing were great!!
Nice hair plugs Dave….hehe…I saw him on a show about a year ago and he was almost bald!
EDDIE DOES LOOK HOT! Weird! But… David looks hella STUPID in that retarded jacket!
I love Eddie and he does look hot. I miss Sammy and Micheal Anthony. DLR looks like he could be Ryan Seacrest's father.
Boycott Van Halen! All they want is your money!
They f'd us with a potential reunion 10 yrs ago & kicked out Michael Anthony for Eddie's tub-of-goo son Wolfgang.
I think they last about ten more concerts & Eddie the loser goes back into rehab
You call that HOT? I call that haggard!!! Looks like a bum from Skid Row…
Actually, Eddie just looks like a senior citizen…he still looks older than his chronilogical age. I used to be the biggest Van Halen fan back in the day, but this is *not* Van Halen. Van Halen consists of both David Lee Roth and Michael Anthony.
My only beef about the kid (no pun intended) is that he is a teen with wealthy parents…he should be in school going to, or preparing for college, not hanging out with a bunch of used up, tired old men….geez even his father and uncle went to college.
Re: MDubb –
I was there in Charlotte last night, too. My friend from Mississippi bought the tickets, and I flew from Tampa to meet him there. It was fucking awesome. Dave's tight ass looked great in those leather pants, and his abs were rock hard. I was able to get some video snippets with my cell phone. Of course, the picture isn't that great.
Wolf is not a tub of goo, either. Wolf kicked ass up there. I can't imagine what it must feel like to be 16 years old and be on stage at a sold-out arena, listening thousands of fans screaming for you. The adrenaline rush must be as awesome as the buzz my drinks gave me last night. Well, not to mention the contact buzz. LOL
I heart Van Halen. And now that I've been to Charlotte, I heart Charlotte, too. Cool town.
can't wait til the LA show in November!!! I heard the rehearsals were nothing short of amazing for the people that got to see the closed rehearsals for this tour. Money??? so what? It's fuckin' VAN HALEN PEOPLE!
I saw you on Tom Green. You really are a superficial douche.
Should you look so good.
Re: BLACHIE – Your dumbass wouldn't know good music if it bent you over and dry-fucked you. Van Halen rules! Put on your Backstreet Boys and shut the fuck up while people with exceptional taste enjoy this reunion.
I'm the same age as Eddie and I'll trade my fat old ass for his hard body any day! I'm just not to sure about the arteries.
Re: detour – I bet you still are sportin' a mullet.

#70 the term is *emaciated*, it happens with long term, chronic alcoholism…as does loss of brain cells that never regenerate.
Re: IndySteel –
HEY FUCKHEAD,
I SAW THSES TURDS BACK IN THE 7O'S.
THEY SUCKED THEN AND THEY SUCK DICK LIKE YOU NOW.
FUCK YOU INDY STEEL YOU LITTLE VAN HALEN DOUCHE BAG LOVER.
LIKE I SAID BEFORE. MOST OVERATED AMERICAN BAND EVER.!!
Glad to see you back Diamond Dave, you've been missed….."c'mon over to my hotel room for whiskey and a donut"….that line still cracks me up. Get rid of the other 3 losers, get back together with Steve Vai (if he'll have you, snicker) and then I'll buy a ticket to see you perform again, otherwise, no deal.
Hey ODB-He DOESN'T look "emaciated" to me! The arms & abs look solid, but I WILL keep my own brain cells, thanks.
PS-I'll trade bank accounts too!
listen fatso. you already look like a senior citizen, dumpling. perhaps you should delete that phrase from your lexicon 'cuz, you're really settin' yourself up for a disaster. there's nothing worse than a little ageist fatboy.
Yeah he does, I'd totally do him. I think David Lee is wearing a rug tho.'
Re: BLACHIE – Whatever, asshole! If they sucked so bad, why did you go to see them in the first place? I am sure that you are an aging wanna be rocker who is just jealous that you have a fat ass, no girlfriend, and a nowhere job. Bet you would suck any of their dicks if you had the chance-LOSER!
I saw VanHager many years ago and would love the opportunity to see Van Halen with David Lee Roth. I'm not into bass, so I really won't miss Michael Anthony; I would like to see what Wolfie can do.
Re: Whoreanus – I really doubt that this is true. He and Valerie Betinelli were married for over 20 years. I think he had cancer.
Re: BLACHIE – You're either a liar or a complete fuckup. Probably both. You just don't like Van Halen because the song "Hot For Teacher" reminds you of your school days when you rode the short bus and got molested by the music instructor.
1979 wants it's band jacket back!
Re: IndySteel – HEY FUCK MOUTH.
I DID NOT PUT THESE TURDS ON THE BILL.
THEY WERE THE 3RD ACT OF 5.
I DIDNT KNOW THAT YOU BLEW ALL OF THEM SO YOU HAVE TO DEFEND THEM.
AND YES I MAY BE AN AGING ROCKER BUT I HAVE SEEN MORE SHOWS
THAT YOU WILL EVER DREAM ABOUT. 45 THIS YEAR SO FAR.
Re: IndySteel – HEY LITTLE DOUCHE.
SORRY BUT I AM MARRIED AND HAVE A CHILD.
MAKE GOOD MONEY AND TRAVEL THE WORLD.
YOU ARE A SORRY LITTLE PRICK WHO IS IN LOVE WITH
A SHITTY BAND.
GET OVER IT.
LOSER BITCH.
Nothing's Changed? What about Diamond Dave's hairplugs/rug/bleached racoon pelt? He was bald in 1989 and now loks like a blond Andy Warhol.
Awesome the band has found peace and is making music together again. To the posters that gripe, you must be young and don't have a clue with what you've been listening to and buying of recent years. Van Halen took the world by storm back in the early 80's, with a sound todays bands only seem to imitate? Quiet Riot, Motley Crue, The Poisonettas (Poison), all David Lee Roth wannabees from their inception. And to 'Justjak#46, why don't you stick your 11-inch dick back in your own mouth and keep dreaming:)…PS. Michael Anthony SUCKED dick with his poor excuse for playing bass guitar from the beginning! I remember 2-concerts from front center-stage with his solos and he was the worst! I'm sure many just thought it was 'Jack Daniels, but he SUCKED! I can't wait to hear the music with Wolfgang filling the only weak spot the music had (except for Sammy Hagar), cause I can't drive 55 either trying to outrun his fingernails cross the chaulkboard kind of voice. Keep your Rap, your Poisonettas and your Motley Crue pussies please…Thank you…
Diamond Dave is a GOD!
If they break up, it better be after November 3rd, ’cause that's when I'm seeing them!!! And DLR looks awesome (yay for hairplugs). Eddie's lookin' much better now than he did when I saw them 3 years ago. I'm psyched!!!
DLR has one of the purest rock voices of all time. And I'm sure it only gets better with age much like Steven Tyler's. Sure, he can be a bit flamboyant sometimes but, if you open your mind, you find he's pretty hilarious too. I thought his talk show on the radio could have kicked ass if given the proper amount of time and nuturing but that didn't happen.
Go Van Halen. Thank you, Eddie for finally getting help (I hope it means you won't ever be a whiney crybaby ever again.)
I was there last night, they were great~!
Anybody have a review, good or bad? Do they still sound like the old Van Halen?
I was at their final dress rehearsal at the forum a few weeks back and it was by far one of the best shows I've ever attended. Eddie and DLR still have their chemistry…loved it!!!
Ed's an Alcoholic. He wasn't taking drugs.
Let's hope that he's able to maintain his sobriety, as too many talented, loving, good people lose their lives to this socially unacceptable disease.
The comment posted about Van Halen just goes to prove you obviously weren't there. The acts that Perez does support will never have the longevity that Van Halen's music did and still does. Trust me, I can see myself listening to Van Halen in ten years. How many new artists these days that are 17 and "oh so talented" are going to be on stage when their 50? ZERO. One good thing that VH has over all your teenie bopping artists that you LOVEEEEE so much? VH sings and plays live. LIVE! What a fucking concept.
Re: BLACHIE – HA! I knew I was right. If you have gone to 45 shows this year, the only work you know is kissing your wife's ass. She is obviously the one who works. What year in the 70s did you see them when they were so far down the bill? Go lick your wife's cunt so you can get money to smoke more dope and catch another show. Too bad Garcia's dead, now what will you do? You're the one who is a douche bag, wanna be, has been, never was rocker + man whore.
The original Van Halen - The best!!!!

Re: BLACHIE – BLACHIE LOVES NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK. You must be a groupie. I bet you follow Rob Halford everywhere he goes. Dave shunned your advances and that's why you hate him. You're a bitter little bitch who turned that rejection into a plan to adopt a child to thwart your gay tendancies. When that didn't work, you decided to follow DLR wannabee's in hopes that they will take you up on your offer of a reach around so that you can get past that dark period of your life. 45 concerts in nine months, what a LOSER.
So which groupie gets to pop little 16 year old Wolfie's cherry?
