New Roth Show episode

[Silexxx]

Sounded like the original version to me.

No it's new. Vocals are different and no drums.

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 ; )

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.

That last line summarizes DLR well, lol ...Imagine having to deal with this on a daily basis and being drunk and trying to come up with unforgetable riffs...oh wait.

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.

[Nitro Express]

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.

[Seshmeister]

Even more that we are older and wiser now. Every generation of teenagers still look for something to become a fan(atic) of.

[Terry]

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.

[Nitro Express]

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.

[Nitro Express]

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.

[Nitro Express]

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.

[ashstralia]

Bruce Dickinson is one of the most interesting rock musicians.

Episode 3.

[twonabomber]

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.
