Dave is a narcissist. His narcissism is so huge it's made him very delusional and he's self-destructing. Sad to see but it's what people with a bad case of narcissism do. It's also why the politics in the US is so screwed up. We have a bunch of old geriatric narcissists who won't step down and hand the ball to the younger people.
No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!
God Bless St. Roth, Thus He Spake.
Dave always said a lot of stuff, mostly because he enjoys nothing more than hearing himself talk.
And he looks as goddamned ridiculous as his singing sounds now, but I suppose he is 'winning' in a Charlie Sheenesque Rock Star Tiger Blood way...minus the AIDS (one assumes).
Dave is definitely a narcissist. I don’t know about being a sociopath. Sociopaths have no empathy at all. They tend to make great sales people. I worked with a few in the finance industry. I don’t think Dave would have worked as a volunteer EMT if he was a sociopath. I think the narcissism is at it’s worst when he’s goes into Diamond Dave mode.
Dave is Dave. The mistake he’s making is he doesn’t sense the reality of the situation. He’s making a fool of himself staying too long. The smart people in showbiz save the money they made and exit while on top and disappear.
Sorry guys, but I differ. I really enjoy Dave shows. He s still a lot of fun and his voice sounds amazing to me. He s trying the lower regist so his singing is fine. His moves are almost the same he s always done. I think he could do a couple of little jumps at the end of the concert and that s it!! He is way more energetic than more of all 40s rockers and wannabes. Dave still kick ass to me!!! Keep on Rothin¨
P.S. Are we Dave fans yet?

I think Dave has grown and perhaps learned, or gained touch with, empathy. But back in the day he was a real peachy cunt. I can't be bothered to dig out the quote, but Monk was speaking of Dave and his relationships with women and and other members of the band and their crew. Like if Dave mentioned a girl's name for two straight weeks, it was basically the love of his life, and how shitty and petty he could be to the roadies. Like when VH followed up their groundbreaking U.S. tour opening for Journey going to the UK and opening for Sabbath and how shitty they all became when the vagina tap dried up because British girls didn't go see Black Sabbath. A roadie, a good young kid everyone liked managed to hookup in a pub and his friends did the typical broh backslapping congratulatory thing the next morning. Mopey Dave screamed at him and started treating him like shit because he felt he had been upstaged - because this kid worked for it with game and Dave no longer had easy pantie-dropping groupies running back stage. Just one of a few anecdotes in the book...

Yeah, but I was 17 at the time too, so nothing creepy about that.
"A real peachy cunt"...marvelous.
The image Roth was projecting in the 1980s seemed cool as fuck when I was in my teens.
Isn't at all a shock to find out the offstage reality as perceived by others was quite a bit different: Roth's only human, just like everybody else.
He comes across as the kind of guy where should you find yourself hanging with him, it will boil down to a long Roth monologue as you are bombarded by the Words, Wisdom and Tao Of His Royal Daveness. I'd tend to suspect whatever charms THAT would hold would wear thin by the end of an evening.
None of which negates how I valued what he did in terms of entertainment: shit, Roth fronting Van Halen was the bomb. First 4 full-length solo albums were, overall, good to great.
Nobody stays shit-hot forever. Well, a few do, but suffice to say Dave isn't one of them.
Ah it was just a bunch of bozos including all of us just being dumb and decadent. That’s called being young and wild. It’s just painful watching a guy who now qualifies for the senior discount at Denny’s trying and do panty raids and Kung fu.
Old fucks are supposed to send the young and dumb off to war and make money off the war.
Yes I read it. He literally says DLR released EEAS while still in VH. Mre than just a casual error, would yu agree?
And he goes way out f his way to state he was not stealing from the band, even though no one other than Alex thught so.
He who protests too loudly...……….
He shit talked Dave or turning down the no-name sponsor for the 1984 tour, because Dave wanted either Levi's or Marlboro. The Jew manager didn't give a fuck and just wanted to make a buck. He almst literally said only the money matters.
Then he shit talks Dave for having integrity...……………...
I don't trust anything he says.
The bok was a good read, but I don't assume verything he said to be true..
That's a weird way to look at things.
He writes 80 000 words and you completely discount them all because he gets a date wrong.
The Noel Monk book may or may not be self serving since most autobiography's are but he was there and working and taking notes so chances are way more reliable than anything we are going to get from a super drunk band or most other people.
wow Dave has the leadvocals embedded in the backing track on Jump .
You can hear it well at 5:55 min in
People do it all the time I guess.

Nice to see you Mustard. How are you, bro?
See, right here ladies and gentlemen does slave SESH demonstrate his true colors. He is (obviously) sensitive to his age and refuses to admit his greying pubic hairs have left him senseless to anything with anything worth having fun anymore. Is seeing Mr. Roth and his arthritic dance moves and voice sounding like he is being pegged by Japanese Geisha girl fun? Not really. slave SESH doesn't allow for any fun in his miserable life because slave SESH hates life. slave SESH wants to live in the past where Mr. Roth and his crummy Halen brothers remind him that he wasn't such a loser back then - as he is now.
If you want to dwell in the past fine but Mr. Roth is a poor excuse. Buy yourself a fucking lava lamp.
Poppy is where it's at you AARP cult members.
She may or may not be into murder, the Illuminati and cold pizza but god damn if she isn't entertaining. I've been smoking a lot of dope to her music (especially her new album) and she is really fucking with my already fucked-up head. She is coming to town next week and I'm more than looking forward to it. Much more fun than deadbeat Roth right, slave SESH? Oh right, slave SESH doesn't allow for any fun in his wretched life.
