Did Dave really mortgage his Pasadena home in order to pay for the No-Holds BBQ video? And is it true that even after he did that, there still wasn't enough money to pay for it, so he had to go on tour?
Someone showed me this quote.....
============================
"I spent easily $600,000 outta pocket. I spent the mortgage,
literally."
"I saw those gigs as a way of finishing the film project," Dave
explains. "I said, 'Hey, we gotta go back to work, this project is too
good.' It took us about a year, 'cause I kept running out of money.
It's all first-class filming, not basement variety. Everybody I used
were people I worked with back in Van Halen. The art director did [the]
'Hot For Teacher' [video], the wardrobe lady did 'California Girls,'
and so on. These people have grown up in the industry as well. They're
first-class, and it costs like first-class. I had to keep going back
out on the road and make the next payment."
