dlr on the radio

I am a longtime dlr fan, met and drank with him 4-5 times. Dave has to realize that he is in "sales" now, he has to deliver high ratings, hold an audience as long as possible. Over the last 5 weeks dave has shined, but he also goes down wrong paths,ie:talking to animal about hair styles and creams, this went on 30-40 minutes. I blame Tom Chisauno with not lining up a stellar talent coordinator, he needs more high profile guests in the stuidio, or phone. He has to move Animal out of the studio, Stern didnt have ronnie the limo driver in the studio all day and week. I predicted when dave started that he would have this huge problem, he is like an NBA player, he is uncoachable, does not listenm, can't take direction. Big Ed anderson, Ted templeman, Pete Angelus, Don Landee, evh, avh, MA, sheehan, vai. He has had falling out with all of them. It also shocks me that dave admitted he has never turned on a computer, does not surf the net, he relies on Matt and Dutch, and Hutch, and maybe his sister to report what is happening. He also admitted he does not read the paper, only page 6, this is a death knell for him.
Dave needs to build a solid sidekick, and maybe a newskick, or joke writer. The show is very disorganized, you had the lesbo emt, robin, lisa roth, danny, dallas chick, I think Hollander and Tom are frantically looking for a sidekick, they have too much money invested in dave to cut him now, needs two ratings books to see where dave goes, dave has to understand, he is not in the back of a tour bus talking to James Lomenzo and Ray Luzier, he is talking to 6-8 major markets, he needs to appeal to a broad audience, no more Paris Hilton talk, no more etcetera, etcetera. I do like his interviewing style, from bar hopper guy, to Damon, to dna guy, dave asks great open ended questions. His rock n roll stories are great, his war talk is good. I also think he should do a "open line friday" format like Rush, anything goes questions from the audience, he also needs to do mystery guests, and musical rock guests. Just a few ideas.

Lameness hates greatness

Nathaniel_TO - dude, that shit happen to me all the time at concerts. There was a time when I could just pass the J and everyone around me would partake and be happy about it. Now every show I go to I have to hide it or people trip out. Fucking Bullshit, you're at a concert, what did you expect? No titties and no fun? I feel ya, to many uptight folks at all shows in general. I've been at a Motley Crue show and seen a chick in a b-room stall servicing the gents and then someone freaks cuz I sparked up a J. At another show I was asked to talk quieter. WTF????

The Dave Show - Today's was great I thought. Intertial momentum is finding a pace. Initially, I was shocked he wanted to do the gig and thought the first couple shows were kinda shitty. Like wine, fine with time. As for the negativity, eh. Lameness hates greatness. In the past I never listened to any morning show ever besides Stern. Morning shows are so damn gay. Now, I actually have another choice.

[Supernaut73]

no more Paris Hilton talk - I forgot to mention that myself and I agree.

[B]This guy needs to get the fuck on the road and play some rock and roll! And not at some fuckin casino!
I saw him at Casino in Orilla Ontario Canada over a year ago.
I saw him in 1984 at maple leaf gardens in Toronto.
Eat em and smile in 1987 or whenever that was as well as the skyscraper tour.
The casino show last year was the most depressing night ever.
My buddies and I went in with a bottle and some pot..
We spark up and the guy infront of me turns around and says "could you guys put that out my wife is pregnant". My how times have changed. It took everything in me not to say "ya and your babys gonna look like me you prick" Everyone was seated like we were at a Meg Ryan flick.. fuck.. I was standing up and shouting "EVERYBODY UP" I was getting dirty looks from the people around me.
fuck...why would this bastard play a fuckin casino when one hour away he could play at a kickin club in Toronto where we could enjoy a drink and get obnoxious? I dunno... pathetic.. probably the same fuckin voice that told him to do a radio show told him to play the casino
any thoughts
Maybe you should stop looking behind you and start looking ahead...

I wanna hear about your meetings with Dave.

you make some really good points

I think it all boils down to Dave making do with what he's got

He talked about the shitty conditions of the studio, for example.

What does that tell you?

Someone over there, besides Dave, needs to start to give a shit and quick.

Dave is a natural when it comes to yapping with people. Someone needs to hook him up with people who are interesting.

I think as he goes along, more guests will want to come on the show. They will see that he has a cool style and isn't going to make them feel uncomfortable or put them on the spot.

I'm glad he didn't ask Damon about the women he cheated with. Damon would have felt uncomfortable, and that would have sent a message out to to other potential guests. Dave welcomed him to NY and talked about baseball and how it was to leave the Sox. We got some innsight on his background and what he does for training. Perfect.

Stern, for example. There are a lot of interesting people who don't want to talk to Stern because he is going to make them look and sound like idiots. Dave doesn't do that, and I think thats cool.

Soon enough, celebrities' agents will be calling Dave.

[Dirty Duck]

It's only been a month....

He does sound great though....

His voice was made for radio...

That whiskey soaked sound is always a good morning buzz...

Dont know where you're going Dave...but i know where you've been..

Keep putting those thunderbolts through my cheerio's in the A.M...

Stand tall Dave....the court is yours...Unchained..

If It dont work out...

Might as well Jump...cause NOTHING gets you down.

sasha

Another point, dave has to stop sexually harassing sasha, My wife got pissed yesterday when Dave was talking with Sasha, she was surprised Infinity would let that happen this long. I am sure Tom has talked to dave about it, but that is what dave is about, he has to realize, he is not the guest on Rockline, he is the quarterback, don't forget, Dave got his first real "deskjob" at 51 yrs old, it is tough for him to change.

[MANYBOZOS]

I wanna see what Sasha looks like! BTW, sexual harrassment (sp?) is covered in DLR's contract...

Roth is topical, bear trap sharp, razor witt and the most honest media personality in the US.

I concur.

[Big Guitars]

I have been listening to the shows from day one, and I don't know about you guys but I have heard a big improvement over the flow of the show just in the past week. Dave has sounded alot more comfortable to me, but that is something that everyone should have known would take time.

But I do agree with some of the comments on what should happen and probably will as time goes on which includes:

Getting more "well-known" guests, including some of Dave's freinds from the Rock and roll community.

Maybe get a few regular "off-beat" characters involved, that will become familar characters to the show. Dave needs a "Baba Booey" type personality to slam every once in awhile.

Have some contests with some cool prizes, like "spend a day with Dave" or something to start off with and in time the prizes will get bigger after the show has a bigger budget to work with.

What Dave needs to stay away from though are stupid fart jokes, throwing stuff on naked girls, telling lame jokes with the forced laughter from the background, ect. I think that type of morning radio show has been done to death and was a reason Stern was getting really stale.

I think Dave is starting to catch a groove and in time (if given the chance) will become a major hit morning show, and in turn will be picked up in more markets and sponcers (which Dave and company hinted at today). I think this train is only starting to gain steam and I hope CBS gives Dave the chance to work the kinks out.
