Roth Army Canada
Trunk is holding back from his usual bashing of Roth, he wants a interview and is playing the fence, he does say it well as you will notice for the first time he didn't mention Hagar while talking about VH, that is brownnosing at its finest.
As mentioned earlier, except for "Never was a good singer" he is mostly factual.
DLR was a great singer.
I will point out one more thing that I have never heard covered at this site touched on a little,... these song are 90% high energy tunes of our youth a different set of rules and a bullet proof approach to the notes and the lyrics. Ed and Al have lost a step and can't keep up either, but they are remarkable and the dedication to pull this style of music off at their age is not easy at all.
No one can sing these right at 60...not note for note....got any idea why Metalica slowed down the play in 1990 with that album everyone was upset about.....because even Hetfield (owe my arm hurts!) new he won't be able to play speed metal when he turns 50 and I may have to. So, lets write a slower set of rocks and rolls.
Punk is doable as any age, because it chops throught the measure speed metal is just punk without the, funk breaks....why I never liked speed metal but that is another story......
Stay tuned for more interesting STUFF!!!!!!

If Trunk would have simply stated that DLR was never known primarily for his singing ability as his main strength as the lead singer of Van Halen, I would've agreed with him 1000%, 'cause that's an absolute fact...
As we all know, Roth is/was the consummate frontman.... It wasn't just the singing, it was the athleticism, it was the bravado, it was the swagger, it was the humor, it was the stories, it was the hair, it was the body, it was the clothes.... Very, very few frontmen in Rock history could touch Dave with the complete package that he brought...
But he went overboard with his criticism that DLR could never sing..... That's simply untrue, but it's not surprising given his preference for his "good buddy" Samuel Roy Hagar....
Sure, DLR never had the pure rock singing voice of a Dio, Halford, and yes, even Hagar.....
But singing alone does not make a great rock frontman... If you saw Dio onstage, it's two hours of flashing the horns and little else, Halford with the same old song intros and little else, and Hagar, well, he's just a farce onstage....
So overall, I agreed with Trunk, but as he always does with Roth, he throws out subtle jabs at Roth while leaning towards Hagar once again.....
Eat Us And Smile - The Originals
"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
Who gives a shit about about his opinion on anything apart from the best place to get a donut in the middle of the night?
His far from slick shtick of self promotion, Cliff Clavin windbaggery combined with a simpering rimming of his guests is unwatchable.
It's bizarre that he somehow became the media face of classic rock in the US.
Jesus suffering anal can you imagine being cornered by him in the kitchen at a house party?
The only good thing he has been in was that Burt Reynolds movie...

Dave sounds good on Pretty Woman. Again that asks the question why not clean up the god awful sections of Panama instead of leading with them. Bizarro choices by this band
Oooooooooooooooooooooooh, pretty woman!
"I like wine, cheese and weed. In fact, I'm so stoned right now I'm wearing my bike lock as a necklace. See ya at Cherry Creek."
Here is Never was at a Van Halen concert:
"Buffy, I do say those steps are taxing. You think they would have a shuttle service that takes us right to our seats."
"I concur, Muffy. And the nerve to not have recharging stations for our Subaru hybrid in the parking lot. Such a travesty."
"Say, Buffy, did you bring our duvets and bottled sparkling water?"
"They no longer allow those at shows like this with all these little people, dear. They might hurt themselves. Only Norte Dame graduates know how to drink water proper. Not like these trough leeching poor people."
"I concur."
"I concur."
"Say, Buffy, my Rolex tells me it's 16 seconds after 8:00 PM. Does it not say the show starts at 8:00PM? Get our attorney on your iPhone and let's sue for breech of contract."
"I'm on it, Muffy. Just like me confirm my appointment for my colonic irrigation..."
"Do you smell that, Buffy? Smells like marijuana. That couple over there toking away, why they drive a non-hybrid, gas-guzzling SUV! We should report them. Everyone knows weed only belongs in Cherry Creek with $800 Bordeaux and cheese only imported from Europe."
"Oh dear, Muffy. The band is too loud. CAN YOU TURN IT DOWN, PLEASE? WE'RE TRYING TO ENJOY THE SHOW!"
"Have the attorney on the phone yet, Buffy? We should also sue the band if we happen to accrue any hearing damage."
"Accrue. We're so educated, Muffy. Not like these little people."
"I concur."
"I concur."

Awesome Kristy you like a post about getting a life and the wrote an extended post on an imaginary conversation centered on someone who you never met. Now that's funny, thanks
"“Life is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel.”
~Jean Racine
People in Cherry Creek don't know how to feel.
Cherry Creek:
East Denver:
Hardly imaginary.
Actually the conversation was imaginary. Don't use the real homeless as a shield or a justification for your imaginary world. As someone who grew up homeless in NY, fuck you man don't drag people who have their own challenges into your delusions. You are usually smarter than that. Good luck with all the conversations in there
cheers
Bullshit. What I'm saying is all your elitism on marijuana issues sluggin it with buzz terms like "Cannabis Conference" in high end neighborhoods to speak on subjects that no ones cares about, applies to, or changes shit. Weed use here is high among the homeless (surprised?) and are you going to speaking to them on whatever dull subject of legal this, Federal that?
So you knock it off with this horseshit that weed is somehow a rich white man's recreation and that alone calls for a "conference." Because that's exactly who you'll be speaking to.
BTW, horseshit isn't a word, Mr. fake student...
Interesting aspect on the new live album regarding the promotion on the cover of the LP... David Lee Roth's name is listed first and that is something I do not recall seeing in former recent promotions
I got lost in the...
This is decent...
thought you said "deceit"
Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!
I can imagine a scenario where the lawyers are earning $$$ as they communicate between the Van Halens and Dave and it is decided that billing will be alphabetically ordered by surname.
I thought the songwriting credits on ADKOT were interesting - 'All songs by Roth / Van Halen'. Did that mean Dave and Ed, or Dave and the Van Halens?
You think WVH got 25% on all those tunes that were originally written and demoed in the 70s ...
THINK LIKE THE WAVES
I still think this is Eddie not giving a shit about the band anymore and he's giving Roth all the rope he wants to hang himself with
!!!!!

Wow. Really? Call me naive, but I'd think they're past that what with a tour and new live album and appearances and whatnot. I do sorta feel that Ed and Dave might be outta touch with some things, but that Ed wants to play and sell guitars and equipment worldwide and enjoy pushing his son's career, not so much making masterpieces or new albums of original material that go platinum. (Or he would just keep going into that legendary vault with 500 albums worth of new material we've heard about.) But I don't seriously think he's giving Dave rope to hang himself with. I just think they're all jerky.
Ed was producing Wolfie's new album. Ed was giving that priority over Van Halen. I would love to know if Dave is even in the band. The Van Halens are son of a bitches when it comes to who gets what and I doubt they would make Dave a member. I bet they have him on the payroll as an employee. The money and fame must be worth it for Dave to stick around.
No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!
Well Eddie is just Buddha Damn Perfect in it....makes me want to stop drinking...well If I could play guitar like that.... Dave seems like Eddie leaves him in the dirt a bit...but Dave....just get off the cigs and take two shots of Jack and only one line of coke. Den he be good.
Can't Control your Future. Can't Control your Friends. The women start to hike their skirts up. I didn't have a clue. That is when I kinda learned how to smile a lot. One Two Three Fouir fun ter thehr fuur.
I don't think it's a lie. Didn't he make that remark a few years after VH III? He probably has 7 or 8 albums worth of him dicking around on piano and cello and skin flute that he figured people would want to hear, so he arrogantly exclaimed he had stock pile of material. Albeit, worthless material.
He doesn't even have that...
It's a lie...
Edwad lied to you...
Get over it...
I would take whatever Ed said after VH III with a huge grain of salt. That's when he began his downward slide into the bottle, meth, black teeth, samurai buns, flannel shirt-skirts, and threadbare shoes.
If what he has in the can is along the lines of "Catherine" or his other porn compositions, he can keep them there.
