Disaster Dave: Roth’s radio debut is a morning-drive Hindenburg

[Brett]

There are reviews where reporters are saying "I've never heard the show, but I'm telling you what's been on the show?" Come on, I haven't seen one review like that, who would even take something like that seriously. What real media source would even publish something like that? Of course these people giving bad reviews have listened, that's what their reviews are based on.

If you want to scroll down the VH/DLR Discussions to "MTV says David Lee Roth is a loser" The first post by Bored includes this quote from MTV

David Lee Roth: "It's very early and the shows haven't developed into what they will become, but all the radio people I've talked to have said Roth is a disaster so far," said Steven Strick, rock formats editor for Radio & Records magazine — who admits that he hasn't heard Roth's show himself. Strick said the real problem is that it's impossible to replace Stern, and though Roth could turn things around, Carolla has the best chance to succeed. Tom Taylor, editor of the trade journal Inside Radio (which is owned by Infinity rival Clear Channel), said Roth still needs to "figure out who he is. We know he's a singer, but he needs to explore his radio talent and that's hard to do in front of the biggest audience in the country."

That good enough for ya???????????????????????????

Thank you Plexihead, putting the source there helps, even though that's only a part of a single review.

No because he's not giving a review on the content of the show, which is what I said.

He's merely stating what he's heard from other sources, big fucking deal.

It's not like he's reviewing the content, discussing parts of it that he obviously never heard. He is just saying he's heard the show is doing poorly.

Carolla???????? Kimmel was The Man Show. Carolla is their best shot..????
Five bucks sais, LA or wherever Carolla is is already sick of him .

The dude is way over his 15 min.

I wish him the best but, c'mon.

If Daves show doesn't succeed it cause, he won't take it up the ass.
Dave doesn't need Radio, its just a fun gig and Dave like to make,
be around and experience, Good Times, YES!
If you wanna roll w/ Dave, Roll, Wid It!

Radio needs Dave more than Dave needs Radio I am not saying
he doesn't want to succeed, its just Radio is in need of a shot
and Dave is -The Rig- they need.

Roth on !

Anything else that has to fit your strict review criteria?

The guy is basically in print saying Daves show won't succed and why.

What more do you want? You really sound like a sore loser, loser.

I stand behind your Carrolla statement one thousand percent. I have to listen to that jerk off every morning. USELESS..

Whatever the NY people are complaining about, I will see them Carolla and raise it 6 million times.

It is unbelievable how bad he is.

[DLR'sCock]

Have you seen Carolla's show on Comedy Central?

Horrible.

I liked the Man Show too, I thought he would have been MUCH better.


Dave's show keeps getting better and better.

Sure there are two sides to every story but one of the reviews that Bored reported with unabounded glee was a review where the reviewer admits to not actually listening to the show. I personally don't want to waste my time reading that shit, I aint got the time or inclination.

I agree with you on that. You gotta at least hear the show. I don't dissagree about THIS article, it is total bullshit. It is a waste of time.
