Daughtry - another Roth reference.

On “Baptized,” the newest album by modern rock outfit Daughtry, there's a rollicking and raucous song called “Long Live Rock & Roll.”

In it, the group's leader, 34-year-old Chris Daughtry, sings about many of the debates that rock fans of his generation still have about who's better: Elton John or Billy Joel; Motley Crue or Guns 'N Roses; The Beatles or the Rolling Stones.

But it's a sarcastic jab that Daughtry makes at the expense of one of the biggest bands of the 1980s that is perhaps most memorable.

“I think my favorite line in the entire song is the Van Halen/Van Hagar comparison,” Daughtry said with a laugh.

“Of course, if you're going to be talking about Van Halen, you've got to be on the David Lee Roth end. Not to discredit Sammy (Hagar) as a singer — he's a fantastic singer — but it's just that when I think of Van Halen, I think of those classic Van Halen tunes with David Lee Roth.”

I don't understand these lyrics, is he saying he's being forced to perform in this genre at gunpoint?

Anyway have to appreciate yet another song referencing Roth v Hagar...

There's something cool in that it's another public statement that there's no VH without DLR. Sure that song (though it's miles away from rock 'n' roll - rather poppy if not faggy) will get some airplay and get through a few million ears.

But when I hear or read "Long Live Rock", I can but get this in mind:



There's a thread about it in the House of Music (Daughtry: cheesefest) :

Shit sorry missed the original thread, I thought it would be too obscure to be on here already.

Shows nothing is too obscure for us news starved people.

I'll leave this up anyway since its a new interview.

What a dum dum...

Roth reference or not, putting this cheese in Main is the equivilant of putting mayor McCheese himself in main...

Right.

You fuckers talk more about Clichegar in Main, than you do Roth or the real VH.

Thanks! Didn't know about this site, I've bookmarked it. Hilarious!

It is grate. The sample sentences are the absolute best. Many laugh tear inducers to be found there, like...

blumpkin:
The delicately balanced art of getting your cock sucked while taking a dump.
Morty made frequent trips to the office restroom, but never when the janitor who calls Costa Rica is there, because that janitor like to give Blumpkins.

Or

Rusty Trombone:
To get rimmed whilst recieving a hearty reach round, thus resembling a trombone player in full chorus.
Phoebe's rendition on my rusty trombone last night, was so moving, it bought a tear to my eye.

Good stuff I tell ya.

This song is guilty of pandering to the lowest common denominator. The lyrics are blatantly "feel-good" pop crap. It's a very weak entry into the "song of summer 2014" contest.

[Seshmeister]

I don't think anyone here is defending it as a song...

[twonabomber]

What's better, this or Cwazy Cwazy Nights?

[DavidLeeNatra]

what's the line? can't see that vid over here

[Seshmeister]

"We still argue 'bout who was better
Motley Crue or GNR
And we still can't believe Van Halen
Turned into Van Hagar"

[ELVIS]

You should start the Daughtry Army...

[Seshmeister]

Are you not getting a bit old for the 'Rock's chosen warrior thing' ?

[DavidLeeNatra]

"We still argue 'bout who was better
Motley Crue or GNR
And we still can't believe Van Halen
Turned into Van Hagar"

sounds like a 14 year old douche wrote that for his school band...or the spamster himself...

Daughtry is 34 so he's at the tail end of Generation X that grew up with the Van Hagar songs still fresh in their heads. Anyone younger than him doesnt really know Van Hagar (thank goodness) because their formative teen years occurred after 1996, so all they know of VH is what they might hear on classic rock stations or YouTube. Luckily, that means most of them can objectively look at both eras without nostalgia tainting the process and see that Dave-era was the best Van Halen of all time, and Van Hagar was dated schlocky garbage that Generation X had to suffer through, just like today's kids have to tolerate Nicki Minaj or Beiber.

Well this is analyzing!

So in other words, that song is useless, on top of being faggy.

[DrMaddVibe]

He referred to Spammy McGaygar as being a "fantastic singer"?


Fuck him!

Burn him at the stake!
