He was genuinely pissed that 1984 took a year to make. Comparing himself to the guy who steers a fire engine from the back of the truck was a pretty interesting stand point.
Thanks for posting. The man is almost too intelligent. Would have like to have seen what kind of music would have been produced had he stayed with the band instead of the fluffy crap that Sammy brought. It would have been awesome!
Strange that in the first part Dave says record sales are down and in the second part that they are up.
Funny the interviewer putting the big production Jackson video side by side with the homemade Jump not knowing Ed played on the former or that the later was also going to become a #1.
No it's not...Quote:

Like Dave was busy analyzing record sales in 1984...:rolleyes:
Yeah, definitely threw some decent curve balls of smarts and whit back at Charlie.Quote:

Why wouldn't he have a feel for how record sales were in the industry he was in during 1983?Quote:

I have all this old interview shit on a couple dvd's. Funny shit.
Aha!
Sales were slightly down but takings were up a bit so he wasn't wrong or right. :)

I'm sure all the lyrics on that record were Hagar's, but as far as the music goes, It's pretty easy to guess which songs were originally recorded with Dave, and which ones were completely written after Spam joined the band.Quote:

Reportedly the song that became "Summer Nights" was originally called "Eat Thy Neighbor". And that first song on the album... "Good Enough" or whatever they called it.... similar tempo to Yankee Rose. Maybe Dave had those lyrics before he left the band, and that tune was the original version. Obviously Dave couldn't take the music with him when he left the band, but he might have told his new musical partners to write something similar enough to fit .
Dave bailed once the other half of the next album included what would become "Love Walks In" and "Dreams".Quote:

What are the odds? I'm speechless.
Great line at 3:27..totally goes over Charlie's head..good interview though..much more serious than usual..
It doesn't go over his head...
The cocksucker globalist clearly wasn't listening to a thing Dave said...
Hmmm...
man...these guys were such a fake...
