I remastered and mashed up the four TV studio performances of Unchained. See what you think of it.

Works like a long-lost studio version music video. Nice job!

Surprised that one ever got out - it really gives away that rather than dangerous street punks they are being photographed in a huge mansion in the leafy suburbs.

Who was cooler than Roth? I have another never heard by anyone interview with Mr. Diamond from 1984, dropping this week. In the interview, you will hear MC Roth do a freestyle rap. (Not kidding and not AI.)Photo by Michael Ochs.

People make fun of Dave now but fuck them. He was the coolest frontman ever.

I was only in elementary school when the band broke up...but I remember in 1984-84, you could mention Roth to boys and they would be like, "Oh, the coolest guy on the planet" and you could mention him to girls (yes, elementary school girls...I was 8-9) and they would be like, "He's SO cute!" I remember having a crush on a girl (maybe my first crush) and she was just obsessed with Roth.

Psyched to hear the 1984 interview with Dave. I remember watching a VHS compilation of Van Halen clips from 1984 sometime in the 90s (must have been right after the failed reunion). And I remember noticing that Dave was just so funny and awesome in every T.V. interview, even though he had clearly rehearsed all the one-liners.

I went on a hardcore VH kick (again) starting '96 (again, for obvious reasons). That was when I picked up Montreal '84 and became addicted to it. I would watch it OVER and OVER again. It's still one of my favorite concerts by anyone. I DEFINITELY watched it more than the US FESTIVAL, which I still really enjoy.

Montreal '84 may have been an audience boot...but for the mid-80s, it's really good. Really well-shot, the whole show.

But I've prayed for Largo '84 to get released because, to me, THAT is the Holy Grail. That could be what finally totally replaces Montreal '84.

Just dropped a never-published interview with Roth from December 1984.

Great interview! Loved the questions she asked and of course, Dave's smart assed answers!!

Local retail here rolled out the Halloween crap the week before Labor Day. Goddamned ridiculous.

Posting my last VH interview. This one is David Lee Roth again, but from 2019. Greg Renoff, says is "the most honest real interview DLR did that I know about"
