    London Calling . . . .

    Hi folks, stumbled across this site while still gripped by the euphoria of the Toronto concert I travelled to from London UK in March. My review is here in case anyone wants to read it http://safcsmoke.blogspot.co.uk/2012...van-halen.html Loved DLR VH since 1980, never liked anything Hagar did in his life. Nothing personal, his voice just doesn't do it for me. Working in the music industry in London and occasionally get some useless / useful METAL information. Useless Fact 1 . . . . as of 22nd May, ADKOT had sold 27,475 units in the UK. Happy to talk DLR Van Halen with anyone.
    What a fight to get it right, For a minute of delight . . .

    Welcome to The Diamond David Lee Roth Army!

    Hi mumpy73 and welcome to The Diamond David Lee Roth Army! We are a website created by fans of David Lee Roth for fans of David Lee Roth. IT’S THAT DAMN SIMPLE. The next beer is on us!
    "I decided to name my new band DLR because when you say David Lee Roth people think of an individual, but when you say DLR you think of a band. Its just like when you say Edward Van Halen, people think of an individual, but when you say Van Halen, you think of…David Lee Roth, baby!"!

            Welcome mumpy. Glad to have another bloke from the UK on our crazy REAL Van Halen roller coaster ride. Don't take anything here too seriously and if anyone slings any shit at you....that's just your queue to fire it right back at them tenfold. (we thrive on that)

                Ha ha! Thanks guys, feel at home here already. Thanks for your comments on the review - I wanted to try and be objective and give everyone a real insight into soaking up a good old american band soaking it up in their own back yard. A mate of mine met one of Roth's entourage at Narm last month and it was mentioned that they hoped to be coming to Europe at some point on the tour. Here's hoping but I won't hold my breath as they've never seemed keen on coming here. Next up for me is Night Ranger tomorrow night in an 800 capacity club in London; should be tasty. Stay Frosty everyone .. . . .

                          Donington was a bit mad, and 28 years ago, but I'm sure Dave used a line something about if a guy didn't stop throwing sh!t he'd come down there and "f$$k your girlfriend!!"

                            Dave would yell that rather often on stage back then.

                            Welcome to the Army, mate! Thanks a lot for your review and pics!

                            PS: Sunny London...

                            Actually I shouldn't ironize because London is a sunny place for me, as every time I've been there the sun shone!

                              Well we have great weather this week for the first time in a while. The sort of weather to put 1984 in your car, wind down the window, ease the seat back . . . . . .
