DLR Band

[DLR7884]

This album fucking rocks, plain and simple.

I just put it in, I'm only on Counter-Blast and I can say without a doubt that this is Dave's best solo effort.

Yes this is a repeat/old topic, but I have read that numerous posters here don't have or have never heard this album.

GO FUCKING GET IT!

Ebay, amazon.....I don't care how. Get your hands on this fucking masterpiece, NOW.

DLR7884
That's all. :D

[DLR7884]

Had to pause it to take a piss....

On "Little Texas" now, it rocks.

DLR7884
Can't wait to get to "Going Places."

[Rikk]

LITTLE TEXAS is my favorite Dave solo song of all time.

[POJO_Risin]

I like this album very much...but...I still like ALAE better...

[Rikk]

ALAE has better written songs overall. But I like DLR BAND more because it's got a rougher production, which works well for me. That said, there is a bit too much filler on DLR BAND...could have made for a perfect 10 song album.

I should dig up my old RE-VISITED review of this sucker...

[POJO_Risin]

It's Showtime is my bar none...favorite Roth song of all time...minus a couple from the VH years...

of course...this doesn't belong here...but wtf...

It's Showtime is pure Roth.

DLR7884
Do we all agree that EEAS, ALAE, and DLRBand are the 3 best solo efforts?

[Rikk]

Um...you and POJ may smack me on the head for this, but I prefer SKYSCRAPER to ALAE, now that I think about it. I just have a soft spot for SKYSCRAPER. And DAMN GOOD just gets me every time.

...and yes, SHOWTIME is fucking awesome. But I still prefer LITTLE TEXAS.

[DLR7884]

Skyscraper?

Really?

Too synthy if you ask me....good album, solid. But ALAE is rock, no fluff.

DLR7884
I think Skyscraper, I think "Stand Up."

[Redballjets88]

i dunno why but i dont like alae...the only song i like is the one that wants to be walk this way

Huh?

What song is that?

DLR7884
Go listen to that album again...it's pure rock n' roll!

[Redballjets88]

i forgot which one i dunno it just doesnt get me like skyscraper and eeas do

[Redballjets88]

i should probably listen to it more i usually think something sucks but then listen to it a few more times and then it grows on me

[rustoffa]

skills, the kind that thrill...

pretty much sums it up.


ALAE was the end of an era.
The cover art pretty much sums that up.

[DLR7884]

Yeah, listen to it.....for the rest of the weekend.

DLR7884
Do you have DLR Band?

[Redballjets88]

no i cant find it anywhere and i have like 7 dollars on my bank card so i cant use ebay or amazon... i really want it

[DLR7884]

Go mow someone's grass.

Beg your parents for an advance on your allowance.

Get a fucking job.

Give hand jobs for quarters.

GET THE FUCKING ALBUM, COME HELL OR HIGH WATER!

DLR7884
Get it, listen to the fuck out of it, and tell us all about it!

[Redballjets88]

job, gas, rapist, to do list....

Why don't you just get the fuck out of here?

I mean like literally.

[Redballjets88]

what are you talking about?

Ouch.

DLR7884
Redball, bump it up your fucking list.....I'd love to know what's ahead of it at this time.....please share.

[Rikk]

Yeah. You can't buy that SHAUN CASSIDY album before you buy DLRBAND.:mad:

[POJO_Risin]

Goto a store that sells used discs...I bet you can find it for under 5 bucks somewhere...it'll be in the used bin...I guarantee it...

as for ALAE...it is my belief that the next great guitar player was Jason Becker (www.jasonbecker.com). He had the ability to do Ed...and Vai...and add his own twists in a bluesy way...

and he could write...still can for that matter...

check out his link...

Jason Becker is the man...and Dave found his NEXT great virtuoso...and that album proves it.

Listen to it...focus on the guitar...and you'll see what I mean...

you'll swear you hear Ed...you'll swear you here Vai...but it will be slightly different...slightly NOT them...and you'll realize how good Jason Becker was/is...

[DLR7884]

The Jason Becker story still is a heart breaker.

Last update I read, he's been in the same condition since 1997.

DLR7884
But he has defied the odds and survived almost 15 years w/ALS.

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah...which is amazing to be honest...that he hasn't gotten worse...

I suspect things aren't going well...

but you've gotta love the fact that the guy is as active as he is...

there are rumors about a movie about his life...I'm hoping that's the case...

15 years with the disease...closing in on half his life...

[Rikk]

It'll catch up with him eventually. Even if the disease doesn't progress, the kind of health damage that occurs from paralysis alone is pretty significant. Fucking tragic. In Dave's book, you can tell how much Jason's story broke him up. Dave talks about Jason with a lot of pride and a lot of caring.

That said, that's one of my big criticisms of ALAE...Jason isn't really a full writing partner and only writes IT'S SHOWTIME and DROP IN THE BUCKET.

I'm still not cool with the fact that EVH has visited Jason and DLR hasn't.

DLR7884
What writing credits are you looking at, btw?

Nevermind.

DLR7884
When one looks, one tends to find. :)

[DLR7884]

Is Robbie Nevil the one with the thing on his face?

DLR7884
Or is that Aaron?

[Rikk]

Yeah. Both songs co-written with Jason are at the end of the album...the album's best song is second-last. Meanwhile, there's a ton of shit written with the keyboardist, etc. A bit of a waste.

[Rikk]

Which thing on the face?

[DLR7884]

One of the Nevil brothers has a ginormous fucking birthmark or mole on his face.

DLR7884
I think it's Aaron.....anyone know for sure?

[POJO_Risin]

I don't know that I'd have made Becker a full collaborator at that point either...although I'm sure the next album would have been different...

I wish he'd have gotten to tour for that album...

Oh...and it's

Evil K Nevile that has the mole...isn't he a brother?

[canadiandlrgirl]

i like the DLR Band album....it is my favorite solo album next to EEAS
my favorite songs is and will always be king of the hill and relentless
for me that album has ATTITUDE and i like that....awesome lyrics awesome guitar work...it is awesome album all the way around...and it is very underated!!

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Can't get it in this country, so I got it from e-bay not long ago.

I'm convinced that DLR BAND could have been a VH album.

In fact, I suspect that was the idea, after the reunion fiasco and all.

[njpucks]

I am on a huge DLR kick lately. For DLR solo... you cannot F with Elephant Gun. From DLR Band: Relentless, Wawazat, King of the Hill, Going Places, and, somebody back me up on this... Black Sand. Anyone? Ånyone? Top 3 DLR albums: EEAS, DLR Band, Skyscraper... although I have nothing against ANY other albums. Dave F-ing Rules... Eddie is a woman. Alex is a transsexual.

[Mezro]

I'll take DLR Band and ALAE over EEAS.

Mezro...oh and fuck Skyscraper...thank you very much...

It's fucking ludicrous that you have 1500 posts here and haven't bought the best album Roth has done in nearly 20 years.

Jesus sufferin' cunt I had to pay $35 for my copy at the time on import before the days of the interweb.

In any case you can buy it used from Amazon for $5 for fuck sake!

Get a fucking grip. You can run a car but won't buy an album?

Kids today, I dunno...



Cheers!

:gulp:

[DLR7884]

Only "Slam Dunk" was played live off of that album....it was played in some of the early shows during the 1999 Summer Tour.

I know it was played in Finland and Washington D.C.

DLR7884
I think the Finland show (Swedish Rock Fest) is posted here.

109,000 sound like overall sales...it was hard to get in germany for example, mine is an import...

[bigc]

I believe it was NEVER released in Europe? So import copies I assume?

thats weird though...because I've seen 2 shops in my home town sell Diamond Dave...argh.lol

No doubt. ALAE has somehow climbed to #1 in my solo rankings..............

[DLR7884]

Redballjets88!!!

Have you given enough blow jobs to buy this album yet?

If you don't own this fucker yet you will have slid even further down my slide of hate.

DLR7884
Quit being such a cheap fuck and buy it already.

[DLR7884]

It's been 5 weeks since this thread started....

DLR7884
Seriously, if you don't own it, you should stop posting and go get a fucking job so you can afford a 5 dollar CD.

[Seshmeister]

Ha!

Indeed...
