have donnie teach me about the thumbnail thing for pics

[twonabomber]

This is very weak.

Honestly, I hope you didn't think this was a smart reply. It'd be very sad if you did. Did you chuckle when you typed it? If you did, you should really feel ashamed.

Now, I'm not attacking you because you troll the site or attempt to, or whatever.

It's just that this is something a 6 year old would say & then feel very smug about himself. The thought that a grown man would use this as a comeback depresses me to no end.

Cheers!

He's not going to post the numbers because they are similar to, if not lower, than the numbers for YFLM.

You mean THE BEST Dave album & one of the best rock records in the history of music?

No, I am not being sarcastic. I really love that shit. I wish it had sold better, 'cuz it was the right direction for Dave to go. The ageing rock star, matured & with a wide array of musical styles, but never letting go of his blues rock roots.

I bet if that album had been successful, it wouldn't have triggered the chain of events that turned the Legendary David Lee Roth, the Best Frontman of All Time into a creepy, weird motherfucker.

But all you assholes who refused to age gracefully denied David the chance to age gracefully himself. You wanted him to wear spandex, rub his balls & shout "I'ma fuck your girlfriend" at 45 years old.

There will never be a YFLM 2... that Dave died long ago. But what could have been... what could have been.



I would've had sex with that David & I wouldn't even feel guilty afterwards. Well, maybe not sex. But I would've shaken his hand & I would tell everybody who would listen to me "THIS man is my idol. And I'm proud to be a fan."

Cheers!

[twonabomber]

I feel YFLM is underrated. I just spun You're Breathin' It and Sunburn at a very high volume last night.

The YFLM tour is the only time I skipped seeing DLR when he hit town. He played a small room, and after seeing him in a 1500 seater in '06...dam, that would have been a great show.

One of these guys knew how to age gracefully & went on to be an internationally renowned mega star.

See? SEE? It's your fault Dave is in this state! You should've been there TWICE!

At least.

that was the golden shower tour stage?

[twonabomber]

If it counts...I have traveled more often to see DLR than any other band. Might catch up with the Stones this year though.

No, dumbass. The golden shower tour was A Little Ain't Enough!

Guys! PB is NOT a real Dave fan. He's probably with the FBI, or NSA or some shit. HE'S A SPY!

then i don't think i saw the filthy mouth tour either

[Anonymous]

Nah, it would've only counted in the YFLM tour. It was after that that things started really goin' downhill. Up until then, there was always a chance. After that... nope. The 1996 thing don't count. That would've never happened, anyway.

Ah, I'm giving you a hard time, but maybe it's not entirely your fault Dave's career went down the drain. I bet not even Von Halen or Warf, alleged die-hard fans that they are, went to see the guy on the YFLM tour. Maybe Warf wasn't born yet, but that's no excuse.

No use crying over spilled careers, though. But I do want each & everyone of you to have a good look at Dave yelping & twitching on stage & say to yourselves "I did that".

Cheers!

Wouldja look at that! With all this talk about YFLM, I Google it & this comes up:

21 Years Ago: David Lee Roth Tries Growing Up on ‘Your Filthy Little Mouth’

It's from March 8, 2015. I've been saying this very same shit for years in these forums. Well, once or twice.

I even wrote this huge article about YFLM & then Mezro flushed it. Bastard. It was a particularly entertaining thread, because I had talked about how Dave was at the top of his game with the lyrics, I praised them as the best he ever wrote.

Then Seshmeister hisself comes in saying he didn't like the lyrics that much, especially the "In God we trust, everybody else gotta pay cash." I still remember Dlocroth's reply "Hello Sesh, long time listener, first time caller. Those lyrics were in ALAE, not YFLM".

Wait, I got sidetracked. Anyway, here's the article:
__________________________________________________ _________________________________________

21 Years Ago: David Lee Roth Tries Growing Up on ‘Your Filthy Little Mouth’
By Eduardo Rivadavia March 8, 2015 9:39 AM

“Whatever happened to all of the fun in the world?”

The title of Frank Zappa‘s 33-second cut from Sheik Yerbouti was probably what David Lee Roth was asking himself on March 8, 1994 when his fourth solo LP, the provocatively named Your Filthy Little Mouth, arrived in stores to a frustrating mix of fan confusion, nasty reviews and, worse, widespread indifference.

But, of course, much of this was to be expected, given just how radically things had changed after grunge swept in and cleared out everything in its path. David Lee Roth and other artists like him were left gasping for breath in the ensuing vacuum. In Roth’s defense, while 1991’s A Little Ain’t Enough had vainly tried to keep the ‘80s party going, Your Filthy Little Mouth saw Roth gamely rolling with the punches — both in terms of diversifying his sound and toning down his glamorous image.

This process began when Roth abandoned L.A. for New York City, where he was promptly busted for buying pot in Washington Square. Then he trimmed his flowing golden locks into a more sensible ‘90s hairdo and set about reinventing his music to match the times, and his suddenly more sober and mature frame of mind.

As collaborators for this daunting endeavor, Roth surprised many observers by recruiting onetime Chic mastermind and renowned producer Nile Rodgers, tapped Terry Kilgore as his main songwriting foil/guitarist and otherwise relied on seasoned session players, capable of tackling the LP’s eclectic mix of styles.

These included the sort of mainstream rock numbers one might expect (“She’s My Machine,” “Big Train,” “Land’s Edge”), plus country-rock (“Cheatin’ Heart Cafe,” featuring Travis Tritt), horn-powered, girl-group-backed pop (“A Little Luck,” “Hey, You Never Know”), lounge music (“Experience”), and even reggae (“No Big Ting”) — all of it graced with some of the most realistic and considered lyrics of Roth’s career.

In other words, Dave was finally acting his age. But while the album’s first single, “She’s My Machine,” quickly high-kicked its way into the Billboard Rock charts at No. 12, overall sales would prove very disappointing in the long run.

That was partly due to the era’s unfriendly musical trends, but also possibly because the average Van Halen fan had trouble accepting the idea of David Lee Roth playing the role of worldly renaissance man instead of class clown. This rejection from his core probably hurt David Lee Roth more than anything else. After all, he essentially remained the all-purpose entertainer he had always been.

In any case, Roth would obviously live to fight another day, but the immediate future would harbor even more trauma — beginning with the very public blowing of his chance to reunite with Van Halen witnessed by a global audience on the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards.

But that’s another story.

I've seen this interview a couple of times before but i just noticed the "Honey, baby, sweetie, doll...". makes me think that he really only need to arrange stuff he's already got in his head or his notebook to have lyrics for anything new.

ABC’s ‘Billboard Music Awards’ Hit 12-Year Demo High...

The three-hour telecast averaged a preliminary 11.1 million viewers and a 3.7 rating among adults 18-49 according to Nielsen’s Fast Affiliate Ratings. Both modest increases from the last go-around, the numbers mark a third consecutive year of growth for the show — and, in the case of the total viewership, a 14-year high.

Could this have been that so many tuned in to watch the Mighty Van Halen?

[Seshmeister]

Then Seshmeister hisself comes in saying he didn't like the lyrics that much, especially the "In God we trust, everybody else gotta pay cash." I still remember Dlocroth's reply "Hello Sesh, long time listener, first time caller. Those lyrics were in ALAE, not YFLM".

I think you may be misquoting me a bit there because I do agree the YFLM lyrics are some of his best but I do remember very very vaguely me getting that mixed up and also saying something along the lines of wondering how many lines are borrowed and how if you are going to borrow don't take them from a sign that was hanging in 50% of the fastfood joints you went into. It's pretty amazing it doesn't happen more often but I think there was a decent rambling point in there somewhere.

Dave played a lot of YFLM on his radio show in fact that was almost all of his own work that he played so I think he agrees with you.

Personally I think the album is ok but I'm biased against it because I flew 600 miles to see that tour and it was like a pretty solid wedding band. It's the one time when Dave went with less than excellent musicians.

Here's the set list I broke the bank at the time to go see in London...

Big Train
Panama
Experience
She's My Machine
A Little Luck
Oh, Pretty Woman
Just a Gigolo / I Ain't Got Nobody
Sunburn
Beautiful Girls
Dance the Night Away
Night Life
Just Like Paradise
Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love
California Girls

Encore:
Ice Cream Man
Jump


The nicest thing you could say was that it was short...

The data on the tour is inaccurate. You missed July 29, '94 - right here in Charlotte.

[Seshmeister]

Lucky Charlotte...

[DONNIEP]

Lucky Charlotte...

Ah, it wasn't the best show. Hell, it was a far cry from the ALAE tour. Dave played at Rocky's, which was a male strip club on one side and an old dance club on the other side. The only cool thing about Rocky's was it still had the light up disco floor on the rock club side. Dave makes fun of the male strippers on the other side of the club, you can hear it in the sound board boot.

The guitar player - Rocket Somethingorother - sucked ass. It was kinda sad hearing the helicopter intro in this tiny club and then seeing Dave come out, after about a half hour of security screaming at people to move the hell back from the little makeshift barricade. But Dave put on a good show, guitar player stupidity aside, and everybody had a good time.

[IceCreamBlondie]

Good for Dave!

Apparently YOU thought I meant that. I wrote that to highlight the way some take this shit so seriously to the point of childishness or at least obsession. Its music, thats all.
Writing about sticking your dick (thanks for the description) in a pile of shit shows you're quite mature yourself, its like a prereq to be a moderator around here. And theres nothing sad about that, but try sticking it in a woman sometime, its nothing to be scared of, and Dave would be so proud of you.

[TFM_Dale]

Ima will stick his dick in anything, just depends on the day. He once jacked off to Martha Stewart's show while listening to gay ukulele music, true story.

Still more manly than a sheep fucking fagar lover though.

Loved that Dave Interview!

Dave is still sexy to this Ice Cream Blondie!

Now, how about a new studio album?.......................

Nah, I'm quoting you right. You did talk about the fast-food joints sign & it was about that god trust pay cash quote. Yeah, it was simply a mix up on your part & nothing noteworthy... at the time! Now that you're an all powerful web-master, the bar has been raised, the stakes are high & dirty stuff from your past will be dug up.

You're spot on about the bands, though. Dave went with mostly studio professionals for that album & it shows. Competency aside, there aren't any shining moments in there. There aren't any bad parts either. They just play what they're given. I can imagine he probably didn't bother hiring top notch musicians for that tour. I will reluctantly admit that some fans passed on that tour because of that & not because they weren't smart enough to get YFLM.

Hats off to you for supporting Dave when he needed it most. You have my respect. It's currently valued at about the same as two long tons of gold, or 4,480 lbs of the stuff.

Cheers!

Pssst. PB&J is not a real Dave fan. He's an FBI, or possibly NSA agent, infiltrated. He wouldn't know. You see, he relies in faulty intelligence. And the intelligence his department makes available to him.

Maybe you can move to Japan, and shack up with Dave.

Or, you could go to Buffafuckinglo, and shack up with NickDdumbass!
