[kings31]

[Davey]

is this for real?


this just cant be good

[VanOsbourne]

Yup its real.

[CharvelRocker]

This tour isnt gonna end well :X

[Big D]

What's the problem? I don't think it looks *that* bad all things considered.

[Cleveland Metal]

Look? Gonna sound bad tho... Roth isn't up to snuff at all really...

+1 i think it looks the way it should look... jeez it's not 1987 ...

[T-Town]

Oh Hell Yes!

Dave looks better than I would have figured. Never seen a pic of wolfgang before, of corse he look a great deal like dad. Dad unfortunately looks like he's spent the past 10 years volunteering as a crash test dummy.

[Cleveland Metal]

So, if they look good, it's ok they will sound like ass?

Not sure if anyone has heard Roth lately, but he is absolutely horrid... There have been a lot of threads on this with that evidence and it's sadly obvious he won't be able to do much with that material.

This was pretty recent...

Dave is either trying to look like Patrick Swazee or Sting, :ROTF: all things considered they look okay, at least they are all still suckin wind, but hell the Who can still tour w/ only half the originals

[nateb]

Is it just me or does roth look like he belongs with Siegfried and Roy?

well.. I've always thought Roth had personality and attitude going for him moreso than voice which made him a frontman 'type'.
Hager has always been a great singer/frontman no matter what he's involved in.
If I were a guitarist choosing a front.. I know who I'd have as a singer.

Guess I'll have to wait for the videos & bootlegs to start hittin the net.
With today's technology.. I'd think there would be a 'way' to enhance anything Roth could possibly screw up if they were to choose that route.

Either way.. roll out the red carpet, 3/4th's of the band are a legacy in RnR.

I can't help it, Just seeing Dave smiling, about to bust out laughing made me feel good, reminded me of the first time I saw the Jump video.

I just couldn't dislike Dave, is his likability and craziness what drives Ed nuts?
I know people that just dont let things bother them get on my nerves after the IN YOUR FACE HAPPINESS settles in, but people who alwys want to tear down others get real old real fast (Eddie).

You're right that Roth doesn't sound so good but i'd bet the audience will drown him out with their singing along.

[Razor]

Well, am I the only one that thinks they look better than anticipated? They could look a lot worse IMHO all things considered.
