That is BRUTAL …..waterboard me please!!!!
Hahaha with a shock to the nads!
Saw three of songs:”just like paradise,” “you really got me” and “ain’t talkin’ bout love.” Band is good, but Dave come on, I think it’s time to retire. Go back to being a paramedic the song performance was very uncomfortable to listen to
He may not have been the best singer, but I think his age has caught up with him and no amount of showmanship can make up for it.
Also saw on another website, that Dave said in an interview that he’s doing a solo residency because Eddie is not doing well and “singing and dancing is a perishable skill,” for him. Seems like this quote applies, elsewhere.
He’s giving lounge lizards a bad name. I love Dave’s confidence, it’s stunning.
dana, you nailed it. i don’t mind dave’s singing in these videos. he doesn’t sound all that different from the vh live album or the last 3 vh tours… i enjoyed the last one the best. the music always reigns supreme and more than makes up for any vocal deficiency, whether its vh or this top-notch band playing it. this sounds better than current kiss.
