TWO New DLR Interviews - December 2018 (Vulture Interview Added)

[degüello]

“Eddie Van Halen looks at me with the same non-understanding stare that a parrot has for a ringing telephone when I start talking about this, but I paint and draw routinely.”

Tattoo cream? Reminds me of Steve Martin's Penis Beauty Cream: https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-l...y-creme/n10590

I started this project with three of us sitting around an upended plastic bucket for a table at my house in L.A. Now, there’s 34 of us and we have offices in New York as well as L.A. It’s taken three years and close to $7 million, and I’m involved in every single element of every part of it. Surprisingly, there’s almost no competition...
My idea for a line of outdoor gear started eight or nine years ago, and at the moment, we’re working on some 60 products. I’m not going after just the tattoo world—we’re going after Procter & Gamble. I took most of what I made off the last couple of Van Halen tours—I didn’t actually touch the check, [and] I just watched it walk by—and that’s how I financed this.

Maybe it's not the crazy idea that it seems, it doesn't matter if it works or not they just need to convince a percentage of people it does and it seems like absolutely everyone has tattoos these days.

Interesting that there is no mention of Roth on their website, their story or whatever.

I guess this is him coming out now so to speak.

[DavidLeeNatra]

Still the most interesting guy in showbiz when it comes to interviews. The Prince line is hilarious.

The parrot line made me laugh, but overall he comes across kind of nuts/trying too hard, I thought. Maybe a little desperate to be liked. Definitely full salesman/performance mode. I love classic VH and DLR in general, but I don’t think I could take more than 20 minutes of the guy in person, these days.

Anyway, fun to see a new interview and get some great lines from him. Hope everyone’s well around here.

Yep, Wacky Ol' Uncle Dave has plowed the bulk of his tour earnings into...Tattoo cream.

20 minutes of listening to one of Roth's stream of semi-consciousness coke babble raps would probably have me staring at him as incoherently as Eddie does, too.

[Nitro Express]

Dave is fine. The world just got lame.

I really enjoyed this interview, thanks for posting it.

He’s comes off much better than the first one, or maybe I’m just less grumpy.

His Trump remarks are right on the money, so to speak. Also loved his remarks about how at the end of the day he's a song and dance guy, with the Sinatra comparison and concert ticket line.

Another interview, with Vulture

It says it was a 2 hour interview, I think it's been abridged.

[ZahZoo]

Nice to see something surface from Dave... December seems to be a launching season for him the last 10 summers or so.

Let's see what this outdoor gear turns out to be. "These products are the kind of gear you’re gonna use at 23,000 feet, when you only want to take your glove off once," but ultimately sold at REI to people who never venture outside of their zip code.

[So this is love]

Does he say 100 days until VH resurfaces?

[DONNIEP]

Does he say 100 days until VH resurfaces?

I believe he said “100 hundred years”...

[Baby's On Fire]

Let's see what this outdoor gear turns out to be. "These products are the kind of gear you’re gonna use at 23,000 feet, when you only want to take your glove off once," but ultimately sold at REI to people who never venture outside of their zip code.

I'm very interested to see this product line. I think it will be bad ass.

I'd also love to see a DLR fashion line for men in 2019. I think it would also be very chic.

PS: Trudeau needs to go. Bring back the gallows.

The gallows and French chicks are the only good things the French have ever invented. I support both.
