The Official DDE thank you thread!

[Sensible Shoes]

We've said it in many other threads, but just in case Dave's people aren't into reading every post in every thread, I thought it might be nice to say thank you in one place they can't miss.

So thank you people, for giving us something to get excited about that makes us feel a little closer to Dave. You may think it's a small thing, but you can probably tell that it's not. Not to us. All the best to you and "the Toastmaster General" on the tour, with the album and single and the rest of your endeavors!

Love, Shoes.

who's Dre?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

OK, I lied, it's wasn't DDE (Diamond Dave Enterprises), it was really Dr. Dre that gave me the videos...

Word up, yo.... ;)

[Sensible Shoes]

Well if it's wrong then fix it. I thought I saw VA referring to them as "David Roth Enterprises" Delete thread and start over? Dump it as it's a bad idea?

[Northern Girl]

What did Dr. Dre ever do for you?

Edit: Damn you guys are fast!

Shut up! I hate you guys.

Thank you Chef.

[sadaist]

I am truly thankful for this feast since Dec 26. But I'm in overload mode. You know how when dying of thirst, the worst thing you can do is chug a ton of water. They need to re-hydrate you slowly. I feel like the same. We have been dying for information so long and suddenly CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!

I'm getting woozy.


But I love it! Keep it coming! And thanks to the powers that be behind the scenes. You have made a shitload of people very happy and with a feeling of it was all worth it.

[TJMKID]

Looking foward to seein' Dave thank all his hard-working people over at DDE at the big NYC tour presser tomorrow!

:clap:

[ZahZoo]

[Northern Girl]

To all at DDE:

Thanks so much for all the awesome surprises you've given to the Van Halen community. It means more to us than we can put into words. We've waited so long for new VH music and this is such an amazing and exciting time for us. Thank you so much for making the wait a little easier these past few days.

Love you, Dave!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! We've waited patiently. Okay, I lie... we've pissed and moaned over this for years. Cheers to DDE for this acknowledgement that we've been receiving. We are The Roth Army, we're ready to serve whenever and wherever we are called upon. Even more important...you've made a bunch of old farts feel like they're 18 again!!! THANK YOU!!!!

For the gearheads: Interesting that the gray pic is textured, while the red one isn't....

What sorts of songs would EVH want a textured pic for?

[Dan]

How Hot Is The DDE Rep?

[ELVIS]

The textured picks are easier to hold on to, much like the star picks I use and highly recommend...

They're just easier to hold on to... I got a pick from Wolf's tech before the first show, that one has his autograph on it. I also got to see Wolf's bumblebee striped bass up close, very cool.

I'm of the opinion that the DDE rep is the photographer girl. She took a pic of me with my 2002 'Ole #1' shirt at the first show. Cool girl.

Pretty much what I figured, didn't know whether it would be easier to play fast with a textured pick or not....

No, I know which one you're talking about, that's not her....

[ELVIS]

Post a pic...

Stalker.:D

Ahh.. the mystery continues..

Post a pic...

I would, but I can't....

Double Guitar. You can feel the texture and know which guitar that pick is for: Whether you park it in your mouth for a second or just feel it on your skin...you know...for example "That is the one for the 12 String....ect. Just body mnemonics so you can get the right pick on the fly. Least to answer your original question..."What would Ed" and for me this is how I use textured picks.

I do so so so much like that Dave uses an EVH strap on his guitar while doing "Ice Cream Man". The Band is Tight.

:band:

Roth On!

:guitar:

[ELVIS]

Shaddup and stop editing your posts after the fact, douchebag...

Nobody cares what you think...


:biggrin:

[Sensible Shoes]

I care deeply.

[ELVIS]

Good for you...

Go have sex with the freak...

[ELVIS]

BTW..

You can care by buying the album on vinyl and CD as I did (multiple copies) and by purchasing the outrageously high priced concert tickets, as I also did, multiple times...

Fuck a thank you thread...

Wow, you must be so proud of yourself.

Don't hurt your back trying to suck your own cock, douchejuice! :Loser:

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I got the answer on these picks....

EVH uses the gray ones on stage, he just gives the red ones away.....

[Sensible Shoes]

Good for you...

Go have sex with the freak...

That's not very Christian of you.

[DONNIEP]

That's not very Christian of you.

That's awfully nice of you :biggrin:

[Sensible Shoes]

Only way to deal with so called "Christians" - kill 'em with kindness.

Well, I must say I was expecting a ball-burnin' response from you...But I shoulda known better. You're a class act all the way around :thumb:

[Carmine]

That's awesome, Va...she seemed liked a real nice gal when talking with her at the Greensboro show...

So...to DDE...and "Our Rep"...THANK YOU for everything that you've done for the site and all of us since December...

...and everything that you continue to do...

Roth on...

[ZahZoo]

I care deeply.

An excellent attribute many fail to appreciate...

Speaking of appreciation for our DDE rep and the gifts exchanged... I hope she realizes she's hooked her wagon the gift that keeps on giving... not Dave... the Roth Army. You can only wonder when the "what have you done for me recently" crew will show up..?

Pretty much what I figured, didn't know whether it would be easier to play fast with a textured pick or not....

Didn't Ed used to glue sandpaper to his pick for grip?

[chefcraig]

Didn't Ed used to glue sandpaper to his pick for grip?

Funny how you can entirely change the context of that question by simply adding an "r" to the word "pick."

[ZahZoo]

Didn't Ed used to glue sandpaper to his pick for grip?

Not that I've ever heard or read... but there's a ton of crap Ed's made up to explain his wizardry...

My wife bought me a PickPunch™ that you use to punch out your own picks. I found using old credit cards, positioning the raised letters where your fingers grip it makes them a bit more stable.

au contraire, Elvis....

I care...

appreciate the answer about the textured pics....makes sense to me!

Fuck a thank you thread...

so you don't want to say thanks...fine...

as for the rest....there really ARE times when it is better to shut the hell up.

I'll research this. Because I thought he said that he AND Les Paul used to do this. He was speaking about inventing things for his guitar that didn't exist.
