Dave's new podcast (The Roth show)

[Nitro Express]

As far as I'm concerned Dave ain't talking enough!

Id like for him to blow up the internet I say!

Hearing hours and hours of Dave’s philosophy’s get’s old as hell. I hate Dave as Plato. If Dave wants to get on the phone and prank call then I’m for that shit.

It's called protecting your public image. I don't think social media serves celebrities well at all. You don't have to show the fans the behind the scenes or bring them into your private life. The old school rules of a highly protected public image still applies. I think Dave has always been this way. Very hyperactive and with a high attention deficit disorder. You would see Dave come on shows like Letterman and start going off into weird places in a funny way and Letterman would be going what the hell Dave? What does that mean? Oh it's fun in short bursts but when Dave sets up a camera and let's it ramble on and on and on it get's old quick. Then there is the age factor. When Dave was young he was like some Jeff Spicoli character breaking all the rules and getting away with it. Kids loved seeing some whacked out guy sitting on the edge of a messed up bed with a few ladies in it inside a wreaked hotel room with pizza on the floor and beer cans everywhere above a caption that reads, "I used to have a drug problem but now I can afford it". People ate that shit up and loved it and then this guy and his band or merry men are going to be rolling into town in a few weeks and you already have your ticket and you are going to the show and you already have the album and you are going to buy a VH T-Shirt and maybe even pop for one of those cool VH necklaces.

Now. Dave is the same guy. He's old and unchecked on the internet and he's coming off as the crazy old dude that won't shut up. If you are young. This is the motherfucker you want to avoid. He will give you ten hours of advice and laugh a lot and most of it won't make any sense and you know this weirdo is into kiddie porn and you cringe at the thought of what might be in his freezer or locked away in the basement.

That was part of...what, the mystique of Van Halen back in the day, in that you never really got much of a glimpse behind the scenes. You watch the Roth interviews from the 1980s and, as you say, Roth is great in 5-10 minute bursts (especially 30 years ago before we had heard all of his witticisms a million times). Or doing a half hour interview with Stern in the 1990s, where Dave and Stern are bouncing off one another.

First inkling I got that too much Roth talking might not be as effective as smaller bursts was his radio show in the mid 2000s. He also did a Rogan interview maybe...5, 6, 7 ears ago? Somewhere around the time of ADKOT. And Roth was just going on and on and on and on.

It's kinda like when Roth was overdoing his inbetween song comedic bits during live performances and they got overlong: c'mon Dave, gimme a break.

Dunno 'bout the kiddie porn or severed body parts in the freezer, but wouldn't shock me if he has a hairless Asian "houseboy/companion" and makes his sheepdog watch.

This is a hell of a fansite sometimes.

I bet there is still to this day less shit posted about Jackson at the Michael Jackson Army...

How DARE you bring Jacko into this?!? That poor, misunderstood genius may have been a serial pederast, but at least he didn't sing off-key and lose his hair like Roth did!

[Seshmeister]

Whether people overlook musicians raping children seems to come down to two main factors.

1) Did anyone complain?

2) How good were your songs?

Jackson escapes on just a (2) apparently. Jimmy Page, Bill Wyman and Antony Kiedis escape on a (1) and (2) although you have to wonder if Kledis is borderline on that one.

Even in 1994 the Stones were still monetising it on merch.



Gary Glitter came up with some good songs but just not good enough apparently...

Episode 5, now with video

[bluemustard]

awsome bokeh!! RIP Russ!

[DavidLeeNatra]

Fuck you all...I enjoy most of these podcasts. Same joke here and there...sure...but it's an easy listening while preparing the ribs in the BBQ.

Sad to hear that russ is gone. Don't think Dave has that many friends and the only thing he and Ed seemed to have in common was both have a dog. Well...Dave had a dog...Ed more what we call a "pussy licker"

The whole Bill Wyman thing was creepy as fuck, a 47 year old with a 13 year old?

[FORD]

Not to mention the other weird part about that story where the girl's mother hooked up with Wyman's son.

It's the quiet nerdy types you have to watch. They tend to be the biggest deviants.

They were perfect!

Yeah, but it was okay, because he eventually married her when she turned 18: isn't that sort of thing acceptable in the United Kingdom? ; )

[Seshmeister]

Only in the aristocracy.
