Why is it the media only focuses on DLR's CFTH when they mention his solo Career.

[Unchainme]

Everytime I read a review made by some Bitchy ass Sheep they always say "Oh Roth's solo career was basically covering old 40's songs." I want to lock him in a room and make him listen to Eat 'Em and Smile, ALAE, DLR Band for 50 hours fucking straight. If he still doesn't believe how kickass roth's solo career is, As my Friend WARF would Say "Gas Chambers"

I just can't fucking stand that When I have to read that, CFTH was a grate EP, But thats all it was, If you're going to talk about Roth's solo career, AT LEAST Listen to Eat 'Em & Smile, Fuck even Skyscraper, But Don't Judge him on one EP, and call his solo career lame This to me would be like the Equivlent of saying All Metallica sucks, And having only listened to St. Anger, And have never listened to Master of Puppets.

Oh, And MOTHERFUCK SHEEP! ROTH AND ROLL FOREVER MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

Like most media today, they don't take the time to learn about whatever the fuck they are writing. CA Girls & Gigolo got HUGE exposure. So if you weren't a fan, that might be pretty much all you know. Some people just have an agenda as well. Have to be negative to show they can write reviews both good & bad.

ROTH ON!!!!

People just don't do the research. Easier to make sweeping generalizations using what little info one has on a subject...

Fuck, I had the displeasure of listening to everything Van Hagar has done, in the vain hopes that with each new release a decent tune might be found, so when I blast Sam Halen I'm at least aware of what they did and how it sucked.

It's a simpler tag-line to say "Dave left Van Halen and had a less than spectacular solo career" for a rock journalist, and to add "Van Halen went onto even greater commercial heights with Sammy Hagar", even though the sales figures don't support that notion...

But the media slant these days, at least in the print form, tends to favor CVH over anything else that followed. Except for, of course, Rolling Stone, but they're too busy burying their heads up Bruce Springsteen's ass (still) to get the point anyway. But most other mags have seen the light.

The fix was in.

KODAKROME STYLE.

It was fucking Orwellian, post-1984. The cinematography in the California Girls video HYPNOTIZED motherfuckers...that's all they can remember. They're still so blinded by the high color, the subtle differences between Louis Prima and Brian Wilson vanish in a TANNED BOOBS HAZE.

Genius for dipshits.

yea that was probably the biggest commercial success...with each subsequent album dwindling in popularity thereafter....not saying the other ones didnt do good at all though.....

we all know the big drop off was between alae and yflm, but for the average guy, ca girls and just a gigolo was probably all they remember...what average dude would remember hot dog and a shake
