    Living in the USA- DLR Song.

    anyone know anything about this? read this on another VH site and was wondering if anyone here knows about this unreleased dave tune ?






    Brian: How did you get the word that Dave wanted you in his band? Did he call you personally? Were you expecting it, or was it a surprise?

    James: I had stopped playing Bass for about 5 year's after playing in Slashes' Snakepit, not because of Slash (who was a very cool guy), but because I was burned out. There were stupid lawsuits to deal with and bad management debacles from years earlier that were just relentless, I was just sick of the whole thing, so I moved my family up to Northern California and lived and worked there, primarily as a graphic artist. After a while my head cleared and I began to really love music again so I moved the family back down to L.A. and called everyone I knew to let 'em know I was available again. Well Ray's girlfriend at the time used to baby sit my daughter so I knew him from that, any way he was always telling me that if Todd Jensen (Dave's Bassist at the time) ever moved on, he thought he'd like to recommend me to Dave. Months went by and Dave wasn't touring anymore, but one day Ray calls up and asks if I'd like to come down to the studio and record a version of "Living in the USA" for Dave. I was thrilled. So I listen to the song learned it and went off to the studio. I was there with a bunch of guys who played with Dave in the past, Bret Tuggle was playin' keys. We got down to recording and Dave appears in the control room and graciously says hello. We do some takes and Dave turns to me and says great, would you like to go on tour sometime? I was thrilled, I felt I passed some kind of audition. Unfortunately the track never got released, shame...it was a smokin' track.

    I'm guessing that this may be a cover of James Brown's "Livin' In America" that Dave played during his short Vegas stint. Although James refers to is as "Living in the USA", you must remember that Dave switched the titles of a few of the cover tunes on the "Diamond Dave" album...so my best bet is that was the working title for the James Brown song.

    Hope this helps.

    you think he would have known that song, it was pretty popular and identifiable with rocky movie.


    I think its an original cause he refers to it as a new song. thats the vibe I got from the interview. if it were a james brown song I think he would have mentioned that.

    Maybe it was the Steve Miller song? You know, do-do-da-do-da-do-do....Livin' In The USA?

    Lomenzo played on the "Shoo Bop" Miller cover on Diamond Dave.

    Fuck, maybe it was an audition!

    That was my thought. And of course there is also Chuck Berry's "Livin' In the USA".

    First thought in my mind was John Mellencamp's "Livin in the USA" ? or is that R-O-C-K in the USA?

    I believe Dave mentions this song in his book.....the James Brown title.

    He did it during the Vegas stint.
