the only reason DLR seems to have fallen so far, is that he was at the pinnicle. he was the apex. he was at 11. all black. how much more black could he get? none more black.
the only place to go from there was down. and a successful solo career, such as a multiplatinum EP, 2 platinum LPs, a gold (maybe the 3rd platinum) LP, a platinum video complilation; arena tours, etc... all seems like a fall, only because DLR with van halen was the ultimate.
yeah, DLR has been the butt of jokes at times. but the sad part isn't being the butt of jokes. it's being forgotten. and one thing dave will never be, is forgotten.
