The DLR Cast

It's a really good and surprising musical podcast. Only problemo I have with it is not so much the podcast itself as I am being thoroughly burnt-out on classic rock. So sick of spoiled, obnoxious frat boys going over and over and over on shit like Dark Side of the Moon, Who's Next, some Bowie, Stones, and then think they are hip by reviewing something like London Calling. The DLR guys keep the ads to a minimum, do not talk over each other, and do honestly know about the subject matter and never condescend that they know better than their audience. I even listened to the John 5 interview. Twice. And I cannot stand that guy.

Why? Is he a Jimmy Page fan?

[Kristy]

Politely fuck off. That is not funny.

Gee. Steve Vai. Billy Sheehan and even the amp tech guy Lee Jackson were sharing fond memories of working with Mr. Roth. Sounded like good times to me.

John 5. Good player. Seems like a nice enough guy. How do you stand out in a sea of fantastic guitar players? Make yourself look fucking weird and keep changing the weirdness so it's fresh. The man knows what he's doing but he did go to Miles Copeland's song writing getaway in France to learn some new tricks. Miles says the first step to fame is to get attention. You have to have something to keep the attention but you have to get it. John understands the concept.

I think many places (I just googled it California definitely does and extended it recently), have exemptions to NDAs in that you can breach them to talk about bad behavior especially stuff like any harassment, bullying, anything illegal and especially anything racist or sexual harassment. I don't know if that means that they could only say bad things in an interview or if bad things have happened they are freed from the NDA entirely. I guess you pay lawyers to check that when writing a tell all book but since a podcast interview isn't generating you any cash then why get it checked out?

Not that I'm saying that Roth has done anything wrong at any point around or to those guys...

Admittedly he goes for a 'strong' look but it's not like he's done anything really dumb like stuck a fucking bucket on his head.

There's an art to it. Buckethead is too one dimensional. John 5 is a better painter.

[Nitro Express]

too much obvious weirdness these days.

[Nitro Express]

Assuming being Diamond Dave wasn't a lot of work and required little talent is a very ignorant.

[twonabomber]

Politely fuck off. That is not funny.

My first guess was you offered to blow him but he turned you down. Should I have gone with that?

[Kristy]

Knock it off. Jimmy Page does not qualify as a human being.

Good point. But, given John 5 has established himself musically... I wonder is the whacky makeup crap necessary or is that his branding forever?

Branding.

Last time I saw him the stage was full of inflatable Halloween decorations. He's got LCD screens running old horror movie scenes too.
