Going back to that "DLR Podcast" they softy hit on ticket sales and how surprisingly it all was that Dave's first two shows sold out as quickly as they did. Only when more shows were added that Dave seem to get a little greedy and this whole "Fuck Off Into The Sunset" mini tour non tour took on a new tone. Two things must have happened here besides COVID: The promoter wanted more money
or Dave could not fulfill his end to perform additional shows with his weird and vague health concerns. And like I was saying to the DLR dudes, Dave's best days are way, way, waaaaay, behind him. These shows were for the last dying breed of true Roth fans. Most of them people who has seen Roth in one form or another since 1978 and stuck with him during the good times and bad. Now, can you possibly imagine if you flew from let's say Japan, Australia, Germany or even drove more than half way across the god damn county only to get a hearty "fuck you" from Roth who is too lazy to hire a publicist to say something like, "due to unforeseen circumstances..."
Now he pulls this Alzheimer's shit of Colorado, Farm Aid, Hospital workers as if being magically called to do a benefit show or two is going to correct his shitty behavior of pissing all over his fans in Vegas. These fucking rock stars, man. The time has come for so many of them to just stop performing cold. Just fuck off into the sunset with their money and allow for brilliant acts such as Poppy to rule the world.
Oh, you all will bow down to her and worship her as your new savior
David Lee Roth has lost his marbles. The man you hard core knew or thought you knew does not exist any more. He's clearly not functioning on a coherent level with reality and take it form someone who knows exactly what's that's like. The man needs help more than ever either with coping with Eddie's death, his alleged health status or generalized understanding that it's time to say goodbye to the biz for good. Maybe he'll show up on some dude's classic rock podcast or make an appearance at some gala event for Colorado, Farm Aid and heath care workers but until then, he can go fuck himself.
With a chainsaw.
