    Questions For Dave!

    Hi,

    I have never posted before, but I have an idea about something and would like your input. Here goes...

    If you were to meet Dave face to face and could ask him some questions, follow-ups are allowed, what would they be?

    Here are mine:

    1 - What really happened in 1985 to cause the breakuup of VH, did you indeed have sex with AVH's wife/girlfriend or Valerie Bertinelli? Why does Alex Van Halen, hate you so much?

    2 - The Tonight Show incident, what happened? What were the repercussions? Were you on drugs or on alcohol, do you think your career took a hit after that?

    3 - This question is not an insult to Brian Young or Toshi, they are ferocious live players, but can they write rock songs without relying on Johnny 5 or Hunter?

    4 - Why was "Slam Dunk" not included in the Armaggedon movie soundtrack, do you think that it is was a critical management mistake that could made your personal comeback a reality, without the need for Van Halen?

    5 - Do you blame your mangement over the years (Big Ed Anderson, your current manager) on making those critical mistakes that lets admit have cost you or do you take the blame yourself? Have you have an opportunity to get better mangement (like being represented by Collins management represented Aerosmith.)

    6 - What was the lowest point in your career?

    7 - DLR Band is a great album, do you think you'll ever rerecord/remix some or all of the songs off it, repackage it and re-release it under the David Lee Roth name. The reason I say this because your drummer Ray Luzier, said in a recent interview that people never made the connection between David Lee Roth and the DLR Band. If it is repackaged, redistributed and promoted correctly do you think it would sell?

    8 - TK released, "Look At All The People Here Tonite?" on mp3? Did you have anything to do with this or again was it a management decision? Why?

    9 - Explain the concept behind the No Holds Bar-B-Que? Was it in fact an audition for a reality TV show that didn't pan out?

    10 - Does it feel good knowing that VH's BOBW Tour is a flop and the majority of the public want a Dave helmed VH?

    11 - If you and VH get accepted into the RRHOF, do you think that they would play with you and would you break your rule of letting other performers play with you?

    12 - Do you think EVH will live to see that day?

        I'd ask him if he remembers that stupid chick that passed out right in front of his table
        at the Rainbow. (Of course
        he doesn't. LOL!)

        Too f'n bad he wasn't a paramedic back THEN!!!!!

        *blush*

        Seriously though, I doubt I'd ask him ANYTHING. I'd be stammering like an idiot, I just know it.

        sAw

            Not too fresh. Prince used that up, then passed her to Dennis Rodman. Poor Dave Navarro. It must suck to be the Tommy Lee of his generation (As in getting rock stars' left-over groupies= Pam Anderson.)

              She claims she never "did" Prince, but Dave said on Howard Stern he abused before Rodman.

                :p LOL! She's lying! Prince tapped the asses of every chick he 'promoted': Vanity, Carmen (the name he gave her, btw), Apollonia, Sheila E., etc! He even 'hit' Kim Basinger! She's still leagues behind the ultimate groupie 'ho, Pam Anderson!

                Carmen can be glad she doesn't have that skank disease, Hepatitis C! How Pam continues to get laid after that fact I'll never know.

                BUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!

                    That's a damn good question! I'd love to hear his answer for that one!

                      I have to agree with your first question foremost. What caused the big split?

                      This answer would make a book in itself. C'mon Dave. Everyone knows there were behind the scenes problems and hard feelings... but you guys worked with them so long. What changed?

                      and one you didn't ask...

                      So what is Dave's unfulfilled dream?

                        5 - Do you blame your mangement over the years (Big Ed Anderson, your current manager) on making those critical mistakes that lets admit have cost you or do you take the blame yourself? Have you have an opportunity to get better mangement (like being represented by Collins management represented Aerosmith.)

                        This would be an incredibly bad idea...I say no more.

                        What I would want to know would be on a couple of subjects:

                        1. Personal
                        a.Are you happy?
                        b. Ever want to marry or have kids?

                        2. VH-
                        a. Is it still important to you?

                        b. What would you be willing to give or give in on to make it happen? What would be not on the table for discussion?

                        c. How far would you want to take it (Tour, album, multiple tours?)

                        d. How would you like to end it?

                        3. What are your future plans outside of these things?

                          Do you think Dave will ever pop on here and answer these questions? He can skip mine if he will answer Big Trains... :D

                            :D Uh, NO. Not here, not DDLR, probably NOWHERE! Then again, if you're lucky enough to catch him on a good day, he may talk your ear off. He said he likes to talk and that he's good at it (I read that in his book.)

                            NUTHIN' BUT YEAH!

                              Okay, well Dave, if you are having a good day, pm me, I will give you my phone number, even though I hate talking on the phone... I would make an exception for you.
