French Interview

Cheers DG, this is "géant", "génial", just like the folks said after the show.
I missed that on French TV - that show was broadcast at weekends - I was surely partying somewhere (I would never go out without my EEAS and Skyscraper cassettes :D). Thanks so much!
The link was a bit slow, so here's a link to the same video, in case others have trouble linking.

Dave looks extremely cool in there, he's himself but very composed.
The interviewer, Philippe Manoeuvre, used to be a great rock journalist; but for a good dozen years he's become lamer and lamer, promoting dung like those fags in the Verve or those pricks of Oasis. He's become dumber than an FM speaker, as I read his papers from the past 12 years or so, and he doesn't hesitate stating that the latest rock shit makers are the new Stones and so on.
But at that time, he was the only French kinda-rock'n'roller who thought about inviting (and could) Diamond Dave.
He met Dave for the 7th time in March 1991, I translated the (written) interview (from French to English, while it had been given in English) last year. I'll just try to find it and post a link here. There are a few stellar answers there.

I got my kicks at translating that at the time.

The fair dude in the end says "I quit playing guitar, I quit playing guitar!..."
Some of my pals were there in Paris, "Le Zenith", and they never could be clear about how it felt to be at the show... Couldn't be any clearer to me.posted by Ellyllions Men say, "I'll never understand women."

Cheers, Bro! But I only re-posted our sweet DG's link.
By the way, DG... Your new av' gets me... Is there a word that's 100 times as strong as "hornier"? :D
but thanks for the compliment...I've been on a vampire kick lately.
Come to think of it...Dave would have made a hot vampire with his hair pulled back in a ponytail like that. Hmmm...

Thanks for the background Jerome. I was hoping to get more info on this.I thought Dave looked awesome, I loved when he wore his hair in a ponytail like on "Tell the Truth". So very, very sexy.
As far as his hair, well... :D
It's his voice I think sounds impressive, which, once again, is saying a lot.posted by Ellyllions Men say, "I'll never understand women."

Otherwise, Dave was to be seen just once more in Frogland, 3 years later in 1991... and he was never to play again in Paris or anywhere near ever since.posted by Ellyllions Men say, "I'll never understand women."
