Raspbernie Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 So…they did let Sammy and Michael play a Van Halen song afterall? I didn't catch the show last night. My understanding is that David Lee Roth didn't come because they told him he couldn't sing. Or maybe that was just on the Velvet Revelver cover songs? What did they perform?Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor4Life Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Velvet Revolver did "Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love" the music was fine, but Scott Weiland was awful. The song was just too far out of his range...Then Sammy and Mike came on and sang "Why cant this be love". Paul Schaffer on keyboards, and a horn section (?!) They obviously hadn't rehearsed much if at all 'cause it was a train wreck!Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Early Wynn Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I agree...it was horrible. It was nice to see Michael and Sammy give their acceptance speeches, but they obviously didn't prepare so they were all over the place. Then the songs were just terrible.

AnniekNY Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Apparently, David was given his choice of songs to sing with Velvet Revolver but he wasn't happy and stood up the band.I loved their records but Van Halen was THE worst concert I ever saw...just so disappointing.

Poor4Life Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Actually, Dave wanted to perform "Jump" or "Jamie's Crying". VR said that neither song fit in with thier "style". So Dave dropped out.Annie, when did you see them? I saw them with Roth in '79 and it was one of the most exciting hard rock shows I've seen. Never saw them with Sammy though...Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kiwi Connection Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 A Headline in our local newspaper today....."Crusty Old Rockers Inducted Into Hall Of Fame"It then goes on to mention the names of the inductee's and the falling out by Van Halen over which song to sing.
