David Lee Roth - 1985 Friday Night Video Interview

[WARF]

Here is a 7 minute interview with David Lee Roth just a few weeks before he left Van Halen.
Dave talks about his new solo album, about recording the follow to "1984" with Van Halen.
He hints at tension within the band too. Great Stuff. I am not sure if it has been posted.

I haven't had a genuine smile on my face in three years or so, that video almost made think someday I may want to perhaps embrace what was lost and I don't give a fuck about anymore.

Could be the soundtrac of that vid,.. could be DLRs personality of,.. everybody is invited.

Thanks, WARF...and your Cafe Wha reportage was a high point around here also.

Mutha On Bitches!!

I remember seeing that on Friday Night Videos as a kid. Well, mostly I remember the ugly sunglasses, but I remember it.

A few short weeks later and it was all over...

I remember when this came on NBC in the day. The TV was on and I heard the promo go,"and tonight we have David Lee Roth." I'm like going cool!

Dave in his prime. What a badass he was.

[DONNIEP]

Friday Night Videos - damn, those were the days!

[Romeo Delight]

I have a VHS tape full of stuff - including this - I taped back in the day. I should upload it all to Youtube. Remember Dave and Ed in the Sinatra video?

When they come out and get into the limo and Dave pops in the Sinatra "video"?

[WARF]

David Lee Roth rules. I met him and told him at cafe wha? Van Halen is NOTHING without you..... there is no Van Halen without Roth.

I will never spend a penny on Hagar....ever!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK VAN HAGAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loved that line... "You want sensitive... Talk to Ed. Ed will talk to you... Ed's not here. I read in Us Magazine Valarie Bertinelli wants a baby. I 'm sure she's back in LA working to get pregnant and I'm sure Ed would like to be there..."

Subtle jab... but clearly on his radar.

[Zing!]

You can definitely feel the Yoko vibe just under the surface when he brings up Valerie.

Dave probably fucked all the girls in this video --- as per his standard casting procedure:

[Nickdfresh]

Is it me, or does sort of act coked-up?

[WARF]

He's doesn't act coked up! Dave was COKED UP! It was 1985 man.... Coke and JD were in the upper part of his food pyramid! haha

[vandeleur]

am guessing no acting required

[WARF]

am guessing no acting required

From books I've read like "Motley Crue: The Dirt" and other sources....

Dave loved himself some Peruvian Flake!!!!

He was a stingy bastard with that shit too apparently.....

Man I would pay any amount of money to be stuck in a hotel doing blow with DLR....

He probably said " boze lay bose lay bop" right before he put a straw in his nose...
