What happened to dlr? This is sad

He can still draw a bigger crowd than everybody on this forum combined, so I don’t think anybody cares at this point.

He should have Corey Feldman open for him, that would set the crowd up properly.

Guitar player is tearing it up. Nice.

There are not a lot of people whose voices hold up into their 70’s.

This is not news. He got old. Happens to all of us, if we're lucky. (Or, unlucky, if old age sucks for you.)

That's what happened to that dude from Green Day too.

DLR has always had a mediocre voice. Add age, and you have the last......20 years.

DLR > Hagar.

Agreed, everything except for singing.

He also forgot to pack an aubergine or a roll of mints when he left.

He's been phoning it in live for 20 years now, at least

Well I thought with vg he was a great entertainer with average voice or even poor maybe but it fit the whole vibe well…I think Sammy h was using vh to promote himself and without it he would have faded away into rock and roll history.
He should be grateful too attach himself to vh coattails..
Dlr should have just faded away as the vh frontman and seems silly wearing all leather and singing like Elvis now

I never really thought DLR was a good singer. But his style and ability goes compliments the music IMO. Loose, cheeky, and fun.

FWIW I find this….



So much more bearable than this…

Yeah, Joe and Steve really phoned that one in.

Sammy was actually a bigger act solo than VH was at the time he joined them.

Why not neither?

People give DLR shit for his voice and never really being much of a singer, but dude, this is fucking badass.



I don't recall what Templemen said about him tracking vocals, this could be a month's of takes put together but that delivery and pitch is perfect through the whole song. Figuring this was earlier in his studio experiences and how much energy is coming off that track, it's enough to impress me.
