Nah...
No worries, Donnie. Things have been happening fast around here.WTF????? You mean Dave took a shit and I missed it?????
My karma just ran over your dogma.
I find these videos we're getting, etc. really lend themselves well to the "A Different Kind of Truth" concept. Is this "the truth" we WOULD have had if the band hadn't gone through all the BS for all these years? Things that make you go hmmmmm.... and Dave certainly gets one thinking, doesn't he?

Diamond Dave most definitely gets one thinking - which is so refreshing to see after almost a quarter of a century of dumbed down Van Halen. And that was always the appeal for me of the classic years of =VH=. They never took themselves too seriously, and actually had something interesting to say beyond sex, drugs, and rock & roll like so many of the heavy metal immitators that followed them. My immediate take on the new album's title was that Van Halen, the band - and as a pop culture entity - is THE TRUTH. With the absence of Michael Anthony and the addition of Wolfgang, this new incarnation of =VH= would represent a different kind of truth. At their core they are still the mighty Van Halen - the heart and soul is still there - but it's a new version of the old truth. It makes sense in my head - but hard to explain. Maybe if the documentary Dave mentioned sees the light of day, he'll explain the album title to us. I'd also like to hear how and why he chose the train image for the album cover - and how that ties into the ADKOT idea.

Zing, I thimk you worry about shit way too much...
Really enjoyed this.
That's all there is to it.
The Power Of The Riff Compels Me
That interview in main with Paula Yeates also shows Dave in a more natural
mood. I like it better when he chills out.
But I totally get it when he is in super Dave mode
and his mind is spouting endless tangents of wisdom and observation
with a healthy dose of tongue in cheek. It freaks me out a bit when
you totally get it, yet others are saying what the hell is he talking
about ? This review of his own lyrics still has that element of
that wonderful spontaneity, but he is focused on the one tangent
in this review, and those that are not attuned to "Super Dave"
will "get it". Eccentricity is one of the best indicators of brilliance
in my mind, love it when he is talking on ten levels at once
(as I get it) but its great when he is in story teller mode
and even hagar fans have half a chance to understand his genius.
BABY PANA 2 IS Coming !! All across the land, let the love and beer flow !
Love ya Mary Frances!

So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend." -- Elvis PresleyZing, I thimk you worry about shit way too much...
What an interesting guy Dave is (like we didn't already know). Its been so long since I've heard an interview for him, I was almost doubting whether he still had his trademark delivery and engaging persona. But you cant fake what Roth has. You ask him what the lyrics mean, and he doesn't give a bullshit "its a tribute to the fans" line like a Paul Stanley or a Jon Bon Jovi would dish out. Dave gives you a 6 minute lesson on each sentance in the song (and god knows how many minutes they had to cut out). An underrated song writer. Whatever criticisms you have about Tattoo, for me Dave held up his end of it. The lyrics are typically cryptic, personal, insane, funny, interesting and a million other things that has sumed up Roth's writing style since the mid-70s. Cant wait for the album.
They dont make them like Dave anymore sadly.
Video wouldn't work for me, but found it on youtube. If you need it here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttIQnxQ9xvM
They never really did make "them"... Diamond Dave was a one and done production. Everyone is special and unique... there's just a few who stand out that little bit more on the jagged edge, who's socks are too loose!!
"If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”
Oslo 1991, the night before the DLR show, I went out to a winebar with Dave, Rudy, Eddie Anderson and a few of Dave's people (as I mentioned in first post, have seen VH since very old days so just called Eddie - was there on business - and said Hey I'm Here and he said meet us in the lobby at 11).
But I digress. Chitchat and several beverages later and the storytelling began, first very animated and then much like the video. This video clip takes me right back to it. What a fun night. Oslo show the next night was insane too!
And of course I arranged the business trip to see them in Rotterdam too. More drinking in Amsterdam the night before.
Am SO looking forward to Anaheim, hope that by then I am on crutches (dislocated knee + 2 surgeries in last 8 weeks, still NWB for 3 more, oy vey).
It's Mr. Roper! Dave looks like Mr. Roper! That's been driving me crazy, trying to figure it out who he looks like, and it's Mr. Roper! Starting to get into "Tattoo" though, so....
No, you're mistaken...
Mr. Roper...
I think you meant Mr. Furley...
Either way, it's not very flattering...
You were crazy a long time ago, fuckface! Now you're just looking for something to blame it on.
You could be right, or maybe it's Roper in a Furley cap. Hey handbone, good one, so funny. Very clever avatar, you must have giggled long into the night after coming up with that gem. You a professional comic genius?

Trying to get away from you, you sheep molester. Did you get YOUR Furley cap yet? Bitch.

hey, bob, will you stop? we oldtimers know it's you...
Great Vid.Thanks Dave
I really love you baby, I love what you've got
Let's get together we can, Get hot
Cool video.
The background of NYC out the window really pushed it over the top.
Looked like Dave was on top of the world.

I like VH, just don't praise everything Dave does or says. If you want to talk about sheep mentality, it's all over the place here. I think some of the reason Sam gets slammed here still, even though Dave is back is because the new stuff really ain't anything to write home about and it's Hagar's fault that it took so long for a reunion and that the music isn't better. I guess I post here sometimes to put a pause in the Dave is God and can do no wrong suckfest. Once the magic is gone, it never fully comes back. Realism.
I don't much care for you dude, but at least you verbalized your perspective this time without taking cheap shots and making baseless gay jokes.
However, I disagree with your opinion about Hagar.
The reason(s) he gets slammed here is:
1. He repeatedly falsifies the sales figures of Classic VH vs. Van Hagar to suit his own ego.
2. He blows moose cock as a solo artist, and only achieved any modicum of fame by riding the coattails of much more talented people (Ronnie Montrose, then Edward Van Halen)
3. He consistently uses Van Halen as a means to get attention from the media, because there's no other viable reason to take note of him.
I can understand why you would think that dude. Everyone at this site since Dec 26 is gushing over Dave. But with good reason. He is kicking ass & doing really well. The praise is deserved and we've been dying for him to return to form.
Had you been around the site during the bluegrass era, radio show flash, solo tour times, Vegas stint, or even the Sam & Dave tour posting era you would have seen some different things.
When your team wins the Superbowl 70-0 you don't rip the team for not scoring 77. And right now it looks like this year is gonna be a banner year for DLR & Fans. Just chill & let the fans enjoy their Dave moment. Long time fans that have stuck with Dave through some questionable at best career decisions really are getting paid off for that patience right now.
“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”
and now Joe Satriani.
I always thought the reason Sam gets slammed here is because he sucks
Could that possibly be his apartment in NYC? Damn. Either way, kickass view. My grandpa had a penthouse condo above San Diego with a huge corner window. You could see all of San Diego downtown, the bay, and the airport. I stayed the night there several times & would just sit at that window for hours every night. Love city skylines at night.
