If anyone can find me the ticket prices, it would be appreciated.

It looks like only the tickets that are for dates until the end of March are on sale.
From the few venues I looked at, tickets are between $45 - $165 ($15 per ticket in fees).
DLR is baaack. Big News.
Bigger than Axl potentially performing with the old Guns at the RR HOF?
*Disclaimer- I am a huge Guns fan past and present band included.
Here’s the David Lee Roth Soundboard:
If you play “Tattoo” and randomly click the soundboard over it, the song sounds 10000000000x better.
I love it!! Eddie sounds awesome, cool groove and main riff, and I like Roth’s vocals a lot. It has that old school VH swagger while managing to sound fresh at the same time.
I liked it right away, but it did take a few listens to really dig it. Love the way Ed climbs the scale on one string at the beginning there, and I think the lead is awesome.

It was all music journalists and industry folks.
I think they knew full well but already knew the history of the club.

I stand corrected.

This poses the question,
Will there ever be another Mega-Rock band like VH again?
Sure there is tons of nostalgia and great music from what these guys did all the way up to “1984,” but are people only going to see them because of their catalog, or are people ravenously hungry for a rock show that blows their insides out leaving them numb from the awesome?
Off the top of my head, there is no other band thats’ active and touring who can provide the kind of mojo VH did back in their day, even when Sammy was the frontman.
U2? Too preachy
Bon Jovi? Too Lame
Kiss? Too old
Journey? No Steve Perry = no real Journey
The Boss? Not “hard” enough, plus Clarence has passed.
Wolfmother maybe?
Mastodon? Probably too narrow an audience…
What do you all think[/quote]
Gonna say that in terms of a show of pure awesome, the Boss still had it before Clarence passed. Not hard enough for VH like audiences, but the mindblowing was still there.
I’m gonna say Rammstein is a potential candidate. You ever seen them in concert? It’s like a firebomb exploded, hurling shards of epic amazing into the crowd. Mastodon could, but you’re right, too narrow an audience.
Mastodon is great stuff.
“Mammoth” was Van Halen’s band name before they found out another group already had dibs for it.

I really doubt it. For me, the closest is a band from Norway called Pagan’s Mind. Their guitarist, Jorn Viggo Lofstad, was HEAVILY influenced by Eddie. Although this band rarely plays the USA, they’re very popular worldwide.
Listen to the vid… especially the solo around the 3:00 minute mark… to hear Eddie’s influence.

Plus, during the solo when they pan to the ‘live shot’, he’s playing a “Wolfgang” (EVH signature guitar). Actually, it’s the guitar in the ‘screen shot’ of the video you posted.

I’m pretty sure actual firebombs are standard for Rammstein concerts, from the vids I’ve seen.
Tattoo isn’t as bad as I was expecting; the only real fail is when they say ‘tattoo tattoo’.
Come on guys.
