Van Halen - 11 Ain't Talkin' About Love (Live in Australia 1998) 

The days when people actually got into rock concerts. Rather than standing lifeless with a smartphone in hand.

Damn the ending straight gave me chills. I’m 32 and wish there was music made like this nowadays

Not sure if that was on purpose but rolling down those stairs was a ballsy move. Either way, he came out of it looking cool. Respect earned.

This version is totally wild. My favorite version.

I don't know why people bitch about Gary so much, the guy is a fantastic singer and a great fit for Van Halen. The guy brings out the best of both worlds (Roth and Hagar songs) and the guy even kicks ass on his own Van Halen work. I think the problem is that people can't get over Roth or Hagar leaving and Van Halen 3 didn't go platinum like the other Van Halen albums did. The album not going platinum was on Van Halen, not Cherone. Cherone wanted to tour and see how that went before making the album. I think that would've been a better outcome and Van Halen probably could've produced a better album. I think Van Halen made a mistake by letting Gary go too quick, the guy made one album and they were like see ya, good bye. I think Gary could've redeemed himself if they worked with him a little more, they barely gave the guy a chance.

That sounded better than any live version I've ever heard out of ol' diamond dave.

Gary Cherone cannonballing down the stairs of the Sydney Entertainment Centre in the middle of Ain't Talkin' About Love might be the coolest thing I've ever seen a frontman do at a concert. Totally immersed in the moment and the power of music, what a legend!

If I saw this version of Van Halen, I honestly would not be disappointed. This was the best they ever sounded live with any singer.

I actually think of Dave, Sammy and Gary, this was the ONE song Gary song better than either of them live. Obviously, nothing can top the original studio version as one of Dave's signature performance, but live he constantly fucked up the lyrics and sang completely agains the melody, ruining the groove. Sammy sang the song competently, but his voice is too high and too clean to really encompass the proper amount of grit and attitude needed to make the lyrics really spark. Gary sang it straight and it was in a key that fitted his voice just right, and on top of that he delivered the song like Dave in the studio. It helped that Eddie's playing was terrific, too.

It is a really really shame that they didn't keep Gary! This thing worked very well and next album could have been a killer... Now watching this at 2020 and wish people would have given more respect to Gary here.

Major Fucking Kudos to Gary Cherone. He killed all those songs. EDDIE was fucking on. Tone was perfect

This tour is how van halen sounded in the early days. The band's tone is incredible. I appreciate Gary, He sang all the songs that Sam I am would not. This is good vh damn year to the day is eddiesbest guitar work

Fuck, Eddie's tone is Razor sharp!!! Fantastic Tone!

RIP Eddie VanHalen

2:14 onward. COOLEST fekking part of this entire show. Cherone actually got my arm hairs up at this point

David Lee Roth was probably the best vocalist of this band. We will miss Eddie Van Halen. I thought his guitar was stolen but I knew it was showcased

I actually thought Gary never really got a chance. That album wasn't the best, but live I thought they brought it. I didn't see any of the live shows with Gary, but have friends who did, more than one, they all said that he did a great job. The boys were tight and on fire.

The sounds coming from Eddie’s guitar is mindbowing. Badass semi good looking

I don't know if that stair incident was on purpose, but if it wasn't then DAMN he played it off well.

This was much, much better than I expected. Will need to check out some more.
