Its amazing to me the amount of shit that David Lee Roth takes at a website dedicated to him. I for one couldnt be happier that Dave got the radio gig replacing Howard Stern. He will be on the air every day for 4 hours on a syndicated show. Its something, and its Dave. Sure I'd like a new album too, but this will be something new, every single morning. It gives us, HIS FANS, the oppotunity to listen, to call in, to ask questions, whatever.
If he put out a new album and only 50,000 people bought it...he'd get ripped on for poor sales. We have been talking about how nice it would be too see Dave regain the prominence he once had, hey, this could lead anywhere, who knows?
I would like to point out the one peice of media coverage on this that stood out to me last night.
On CNN...they spoke of Dave replacing Howard and said that "Diamond David Lee Roth, the ORIGINAL frontman for Van Halen would be taking over the eastern markets in January" Roth, the charismatic,multi-talented rocker, has done just about everything anyone could want to do. From leading Van Halen to ICONIC levels to a blistering solo career to best selling author to volunteer EMT work in NYC to now... radio personality.
I'm psyched for this and I'm psyched for Dave. If anything, its just another case of Dave doing what he wants to do and I'd say that after 30 years...he's done pretty fuckin good so far.
Good luck, Diamond Dave..
Roth on~
