I guess this is a new one since around 3 min Dave talks about Ed and says that he misses him. Also mentions Kanye and defcon 3 tweet.

Looks like we get a Season 2... cool!!
"If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”
Prefer this to the covers of his own tunes, love to hear him speak about Ed, not in a sensational way but you could tell he miss him and loved him. It's all over the place, but that's Dave. I wonder who he thinks his audience is…
3 questions Dave gets, How does your band sound, how's your voice and are you still skinny? So that's why he did re-do those tunes, audition type tape?
60 rehearsals for one show on new year, a private show or.. ?
That was a fun listen... Dave misses Ed and watches a lot of cable news crap.
Dave retired because of a bum big toe?!?
Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
That must be one Hell of a toe injury if he needed opiate pain killers for it. Also... probably not a good thing for him to mix those with the "couch lock" weed. The weed itself would probably take care of the pain management anyway.

Episode 2 already
Recorded at Henson, Studio B. I am shocked.
I love Dave, but this commentary/storytelling he does currently is hard to listen to. He's all over the place. It's like he has too much he wants to say but can't deliver it with any structure. This one is a little better, but again, it's old VH stories we've mostly heard before. He's been the cool, interesting, rock n' roller, wise soothsayer but now he comes off like he's rambling in the old folks home.
Studio live version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow Bar and Grill at the end suggest that maybe he did more than just talk?
Sounded like the original version to me.
Wise soothsayer, eh?
Dave always was entertaining as an interview subject. For me, much more so than most rock stars.
Around 2013 or so, heard a couple podcast interviews he gave and I just found I was unable to get into what he was babbling on about. Maybe too many years hearing his mile-a-minute interview schtick cocaine babble on my part, but I found it to be too much babble and too few gems.
It's good to know he can still entertain himself in an interview situation, though ; )
Scramby eggs and bacon.
Structure would help him and the listener. Just choose a subject and keep roughly to it - he could do with a sidekick too.
Wise-Ass soothsayer...
A lot of Dave's fireside chats™ most likely would be much more engaging if you were in the room, part of the party with the vibe at the time/place. Otherwise it's like a recording of someone partying and motor-mouthing that you hear a recording of 2 days later and you're sober, sitting in your office with better things to do... one of those... you had to be there moments.
It was great when Dave was at the local radio station bullshitting and there was a Van Halen show later that night you were looking forward to. I think the internet has been pure poison to rock and roll. It was better when communications were more primitive and artists could make money from their music and radio stations promoted it. Who cares what the fans think. The internet killed the profit stream for the artists and opened the door to negative party poopers and gave certain artists a nice rope to hang themselves with by over exposing themselves. It’s so lame.
No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!
A lot of the magic is illusion. You kill the illusion when you have too much access to it. It’s better to not see what’s going on in the kitchen at your favorite Chinese restaurant.
Even more that we are older and wiser now. Every generation of teenagers still look for something to become a fan(atic) of.
Which, I dunno...perhaps I'm being a bit too harsh, because I did find him to be one of the more engaging and entertaining interview subjects far as rock musicians went. Truth be told, there's only really a dozen or so rock musicians that have actually had something worth reading or hearing.
Think it's probably a function of getting older.
You realize they really weren’t getting away with shit. As a kid you think these guys break all the rules and get away with it. In reality most the stuff they fed us was staged. Also the world is so fucked up now being insane and acting badly is no longer counter culture. Our politicians look at the 70’s-80’s rock stars and go. Hold my beer.
Well, you get older...significantly older than, say, your mid-teens - which is how old I was when Roth was at his cultural zenith in the mid-1980s - and you can see behind the curtain and take a look at the Wizard of Oz.
Celebrities...they're just people. They go to the bathroom like everybody else, have good and bad days like everybody else, make mistakes and have their triumphs like everybody else. When I was younger, I'd buy into the myths or the fantasy of that rock star dream. That it's party, party, party 24/7. That every rock band who had a hit and was on MTV must be a millionaire many times over. You get older and watch your teen idols get even older than you and you see the bankruptcies, the effects of years of drugs and drink, the waning of popularity coupled with the necessity of these idols forever touring and churning out their greatest hits forever because creatively they dried up (or the public interest in them creating new music dried up).
But, it's only rock and roll. And I still likes it.
Yeah but some things never change. We were up all night partying and I watched the sun come up ate breakfast and crashed. Woke up about an hour ago. Getting ready to party all night again.
I live at 6,300 feet above sea level. I come down to sea level and it’s like I’m super charged on all the extra oxygen. You would definitely have an advantage training at high altitude if you were an athlete.
It’s showbiz. Hell we are all actors to a certain extent. Some just act more than others. If you were completely honest you wouldn’t have any friends.
Bruce Dickinson is one of the most interesting rock musicians.
Episode 3.
Tom is from Elyria. Elyria is out by the turnpike. He's right about traveling a short distance and being in the "wilderness," but if he goes too far north he's in Lake Erie.

Episode 4 now on Spotify and Google Podcast. Not yet on YouTube.
So at 15 minutes into episode 5 Roth implies he's high due to pain meds from some broken toe injury... loses focus and then wonders if he's rambling... LOL
