:D:D:D:D:D

i got this in an emial from www.101cds.com oh and DD is only £8.99 on it.

[Panamark]

Havent they released Diamond Dave there yet ?

[Coyote]

It ain't released here either. not even mentioned.

[Nigel]

For the rest of us who live in the civilized world, we've had this album and we're bored of it already. I just about flipped when I noticed 'a new album".

Diamond Dave is well done, but I want new stuff rather than listening to him re-do himself, Jim Morrison and other obscure artists.

By far this is the only album that I loved for about a week and a half. As opposed to his VH catalogue EEAS and ALAE which still thrill me.

[inh_james]

hell i got this album motnhs ago too but im more excited about the tour!

[spmusicplyr]

they stll thrill ya cause he sang better 15 years ago in alae

[Atomic_Rob]

Dave's coming back to the UK again?

PARTY!!!!!

[inh_james]

[Golden AWe]

I've had it for a long time thanks to my big sis Elitest...

Hmmm...touring England. Maybe this time I can afford to go and see Dave again...

I went to that show too. Fuckin brilliant...........

The CD has been around in a few shops, but only a couple of copies at a time and not in all. Also, it was an import CD I think, so it cost an arm and a leg. There was a thread with a link to an artice about Dave realeasing DD in Europe, with a tour to follow. I guess this is the start of it..............

I listened to 30 second clips of all songs on www.amazon.com and the re-done Ice Cream man sounds awful............ And the other songs arn't great themselves. I won't be buying it. But I'll be at his show. Everbody should be.

I don't get the Cover of TOmoroow Never Knows. He could have at least covered a good Beatles song.

[David Van Via]

Connected. I can finaly see the Toastmaster General Live.

[tydhurst]

You can also see David Lee Roth live too

I have Diamond Dave here in the UK, but it was an import that cost me £16.99 (same for ALAE and THE BEST- can't actually get DLR BAND or YFLM right now). And yes, I was in Manchester on Fri Feb. 27 when Dave played his first UK shows in about 200 gazillion years. I'm happy to report that he still kicks ass!! Did anyone read the interview with him in Classic Rock Magazine which coincided with the 4 dates (Glasgow/Manchester/London/Wolverhampton)?

There were actually plenty of people here who were in some of those shows too...I was not one of them but I know.

[inh_james]

i was there and did read the interview yes! :)

[smaz]

I was at London, and he does and always has kicked ass. I didn't see the article in Classic Rock Magazine..........But I'll have a look for it. Cheers for letting us know about it!

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Sorry,but they are sold out of that particular issue...but if you give me a few hours, I'll see if I can give you the highlights...so,bear with me.

[tydhurst]

I have that interview. I'll give it to David Van Via, he's ill right now and has a lot of free time, he'll transcribe it for you.

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Sorry, no can do with that interview, you you lot should give us more space for shit like this.

[tydhurst]

It's being scanned as we speak!

[David Van Via]

Yeah I'll post it in just a minute guys!

[David Van Via]

Sorry for the fact it's to small to read you'll have to save it and then zoom to read. It was the only way I could get it on the site.

I was going to transcribe it but I thought you would want the pics as well!

Oh well here we go Page 1!

This is the last page of the interview. There's a picture of Dave doing a Kick on the next page, and it looks like he's about to drop his foot on the Bass Player.

I apologise again for it being small but I thought you would rather do a bit of work to read instead of not reading it at all.

[David Van Via]

Incase you can't read it. I'll type up the interview tommorow.

[tydhurst]

cool. I'd say thanks for the interview, but it's my magazine so i've already read it.
