If Dave's radio gig is a done deal, will the format change?

[rustoffa]

Like alot of folks, I remember snippets of Dave just speeling about the effect of radio on ones' psyche. I mean, he held the whole fucking band hostage for the recording of Diver Down to get his point across!

He did one helluva a job on the Boston gig.....PA made it possible for alot of us to hear it. There's no doubting the stream of consciousness, shit-talkin' abilities.....goes without typing.

What I'm wondering is, will Dave take the opporotunity to bust out a few songs here and there? Like some Savoy Brown or Al Jolson in between interviewing people?

My guess is it'll be a slow burn....will Dave have cuntplete cuntrol over the format? If this is in fact a "done deal", who fucking knows?

I keep waiting for The Regular Guys to weigh in on this.

I doubt that a radio "newbie" like Dave would have complete creative control over the show.

Only those with serious radio chops and a lot of time under their belt (a la Stern) can demand such control from maniacal, megalomaniac, control-freak Program Directors that overrun that fucking industry. I spent enough time in it to meet many of them...

My guess is that, if it IS a done deal, Dave will end up clashing with one of the aforementioned control freaks and the whole thing will go down in flames.

Granted, I'd like to see Dave succeed in whatever he does. But I just have a gut feeling that his personality is too strong to suffer an asshole PD who thinks he knows "what's best" for DLR.

I am among those who wouldn't be saddened to see this go down in flames.

However, I remember a time when the radio played a much bigger part in my life than it does these days. A time when people shared a certain "relationship" with the dj. (Sort of like online affiliations for some people these days) A familiarity where you flip the dial... you hear the voice... you feel like you are "home". You listen to the spiel... you become a part of the show.

I think it would be a mistake for Dave, or anyone else to try and fill Stern's shoes. Not a big Stern fan myself, I can't say much about his show as I never listened to it-but from what I have read, he has his own brand of entertainment... his own style, his own schtick... and it worked for him. Anyone else doing the same thing would be a cheap imitation.

That being said, Dave also has always had his own style. Dave is a "familiar" kind of guy. Dave has a lot to offer whether he is acting as a band master, a director, an author, an emt...or a DJ. Will he be given free reign to do whatever he wants? Has he ever needed permission before? Isn't that what made Vh grate to begin with?

Although I hope that he has outgrown some of his antics... one thing that will never change is that he IS Diamond Dave...and whatever role he is playing at the moment... he will continue to be Diamond Dave.

Will the format change? Undoubtedly.

I guess we have to wish him every success, the sisters have pissed around long enough. Cant say theres much interest for us international
fans, its not like we will be tuning in..

I would much rather a VH reunion or DLRBand2...

I love hearing Dave talk and I love the things he says. However, I hope the radio gig would only be a part time thing, because if it isn't, then it kinda kills the chances of a dream for me...and that dream is a CVH reunion.

Take heart you Roth and Roll fanatics... Dave is all about "bringing it" to whatever he does... but read his book. Dave always has a lot of irons in the fire. He doesn't know how not too.

[Vinnie Velvet]

I think Dave is just made for the radio DJ gig.

However, I always thought he could replace Bob Barker on the Price is Right.:D
