Dave can be rude and abrupt to some Callers!!

[Nitro Express]

Nothing is funner than a pissed off Dave. I was at a concert where someone nail him with a shoe and he went apeshit in a very colorful way. Alex was just laughing his ass behind the drum kit too.

[wiseguy]

i had audio of him doing that, fuck it was very well laid out. I wish i still had that.

Fucking A, EVERY talk show host does it. This isn't the phone version of "pen-pal".

Even if you say something nice or agreeable with the host you're going to get hung up on abrubtly most of the time due to time contraints, or just because the host is ready to move on.




People take this shit too personally.

I know that Dave wants to talk about what he wants to talk about,

But, IMO, there is nothing wrong with a long time fan telling Dave that he digs Classic Van Halen.

Just imagine calling Dave after being a fan for 20 something years and he hangs up your ass because you're trying to say "nice job" or "thanks for the music" before you get to your point.

WTF?

I think Dave is 100% wrong for hanging up on his fans

Hang up on trolls, not your fans, Dave.

So Dave is on a roll on a particular subject, like he was today, and he has to pause to pleasantly acknowledge every platitude? He's going to occasionally make a harsh, rash decision, just to keep his show moving along. If he's making the decisions himself then good on him. If he's taking the advice from a producer then also good. It seems to me that he's starting to understand how to build interest in his show and to keep the pace of the show moving. It's a frenetic Diamond Dave pace, fueled by sugarfree Red Bull, and if you can't keep up and you're going to slow things down just because you want to be acknowleged as a "fan" then be prepared to be dismissed in no uncertain terms.

I would expect the same if I disturbed him while he was doing his EMT stuff. Interupt him while he's working just to announce that you're the world's biggest fan and expect to be dismissed rudely, at the very least. Better expect more because I suspect he takes his work very seriously and might just kung-fu your ass.

I understand that as a fan you'd like to announce your commitment to him but choose the right opportunity and if you don't, expect to be disappointed.

I reiterate my previous statement: "Stop wasting everyone's time, get to the point, and try to have something intelligent say. You'll feel better having had a real conversation with the Diamond One instead of just being another groupie spouting the same old crap."

He could be more gracious...is all I'm saying. It would take 2 seconds to say "thanks...now whats your point?" instead of hanging up on him. I mean the guy did have a point he was getting to. He wasn't some asshole gushing and saying "I love you, man" or anything like that.

The hang up was a bit harsh, IMO.

Then again...I have PMS right now, so I'm a bit sensitive.

But I'm guessing that guy was bummed out a bit too.

[rustoffa]

It's the nature of the business.

Who gives a fuck? I had to go back and listen to the replay where he said "I like the way you think" before I was cut off.

Valentine's Day is next Tuesday, don't forget to send Bubba a card.

[hagarisafruit]

okay, i´m gonna call him on next fridays show and give him some shit and see how he reacts, just to wind him up.
anybody got my back?

[Polk High]

I really do like the show

[mako_kimura]

Look, Dave is not a "nice" DJ, in any sense. Dave is Dave, and if ya can't handle that, then off to the pen with you!

[firestarter]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[haha]

but, come on, the only people who really listen are his dozens of fans (his ratings are in the toilet) it's just more posing as if to say his past doesn't matter to him but it does. IT'S ALL HE'S GOT!! but I admit, he continues to suck so profoundly bad that I have to listen. I'm calling this week to embarrass him, not that he doesn't already do that himself. sheeepalackadooodylockaloooookinfohamoookie

[thome]

The nicest thing i could do for Dave is buy him a beer
I'd like to sit in a quiet little mom & pop joint w some rock on the
juke box and have some drinks an talk about sh!t.Ooogle the bartender, they are allways hot.I don't want to call him on his show
one question would be not enough exchange so i would rather do without

But as i figure if everyone had thier wish dave would be on his fifth liver. lol

But after getting blitzed i would probably be *hic* your the greatest man*hic*
so i can see where the callers come from maybe just saying
-you rok- and getting on with your call is better than gushing
at the end of your call.

I can't really say i would want to buy a beer for any other celeb or
person i've never met before i really don't look up to anyone I don't
believe i look up to Dave i just like the message in his music and his
book and his radio show and his hopefully reunion w CVH.

I'd buy a beer for Plato or DaVinci but really Dave would be my first
choice.
