"I have a very belligerent enthusiasm or an enthusiastic belligerence. I’m an intellectual slut." - David Lee Roth
"We are part of the, not just the culture, but the geography. Van Halen music goes along with like fries with the burger." - David Lee Roth
That's a Stella read
fuck your fucking framing
Crum. Gotta be to work and this is really long. I'll try to sneak in paragraphs throughout the day at work so you can all thank my great posts on my thoughts about it tonight.
“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”
For the most part, it was a great read, but I hate it when so called "journalists" do shit like this.....
Sure, let's perpetuate the myth that nobody ever heard of Van Halen until the keyboard pop tunes.... right after mentioning that they headlined the biggest fucking concert in the US the year before that.Van Halen released six albums in six years, the last of which, 1984, was their breakthrough. In 1983, they headlined Steve Wozniak's US Festival in California to 350,000 people and were paid a million dollars, more than any band ever for a single show.
Now how does that make any fucking sense at all? Unknown bands don't get to headline major festivals.

Best interview / written feature on DLR for many a year.
THINK LIKE THE WAVES
This is fantastic.
RIDE TO LIVE, LIVE TO RIDE
LET `EM ROLL ONE MORE TIME
They (VH/DLR) should sell the hours of backstage footage to HBO and just air it unedited.

I'd love to see that stuff on Cinemax --- isn't there a short snippet of that backstage party where Dave has already penetrated a lucky lady?
I thought I saw it on YouToob a couple yrs. ago.
I sure hope the next Van Halen isn't some corporate chese snorefest with Dave on vocals now that Edwad thinks he's satisfied the hard rock crowd with ADKOT...
Gimme a CD full of "Drop Dead Legs" "Stay While The Night Is Young" type tunes any day. I promise, I won't snore.
Do they have one of the Daves that were doing the goofy dance with the hat and sun glasses from Panama? That's more my speed.
HOT DAMN!!!!
2nd great interview I've read this week!!!
Always glad to see DAVE interviewed by somebody THAT FUCKING GETS IT!!!
New tunes? As long as its actual NEW stuff I'll be jazzed....I'd take ED & DAVE playing along to the phone book.....why the fuck not???

Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?
It's like putting up a YouTube of Bach and playing Chopstix on your Bontempi...
there is one other at the top of the feature:
Fortunately today I'm chained to my computer running system updates, so I had a chance to read this while they're running... AWESOME interview!Crum. Gotta be to work and this is really long.

I think one of the best lines is "The point is not that an 11-year-old tried to impersonate him, it's that he was someone an 11-year-old would try to impersonate." Truth!
I doubt it...it's not like anyone is banking on Van Halen to be a top seller anymore and they've got to write pop singles. And I think Ed is WELL beyond love ballads by this point. Plus you really think Dave would put his name on anything bland? While I don't care for a lot of DLR's solo catalog at least it can never be accused of being bland.
great read; thanks for posting it Va.
edit; kings of leon???? don't fucking think so...

Great read and kick ass way to start the weekend!
My karma just ran over your dogma.
LOL! That is the absolute truth! I tried...and did!
A few months before my mother passed away, we were looking through a scrapbook she kept for me. In between all the school pictures, academic and athletic achievements, there were two pages we stopped and laughed about.
She said "This was the time you invited the entire neighborhood into our front yard, told everyone you were Diamond Dave, flew off the roof and broke your leg!"
It was a gruesome sight! I was probably one of the few 11-year-olds that knew what it actually looked like to see one of their bones poking visibly through their skin.
Spent close to an entire month in the hospital, and during my stay, everyone brought me Creem, Circus, and Hit Parader magazines. Every single one of them had Dave on the cover. (Fuck! Back then, they ALL did!)
I told her "Momma, I'm still up on that roof". To my 11-year-old mind, Roth was GOD to me, and nobody was going to tell me any different.
After reading interviews like this one, he STILL is!!
Not too mention the fact that Van Halen was in fact paid around one-and-a-half-a-million and not one million dollars for that...
Not too mention ??
"Hes a lifer and lifers dont retire.'...Great stuff and fantastic read.
"Avant Garde is French for bullshit.”
That's one of the greatest personal stories I think I've read here. I was hoping it was goingt to end with Dave visiting you in the hospital, hopping up on the foot of your bed and saying, "lemme show ya how ta stick the landing kid!"LOL! That is the absolute truth! I tried...and did!

I didn't want to read this longwinded looking interview until I read tampon4mouth's post...

Wow. This story is up there with the interview.
The heart is on the left. The blood is red.
I agree. That's classic, Hambon! You sir, are a madman.
"Reading" isn't your thing. Have you finished it, yet?LMAO!
I didn't want to read this longwinded looking interview until I read tampon4mouth's post...
No, about half...
And reading is my thing...
It's just that those Roth Show clips go on and on about nothing and that's what I figured this would be...
