Your Filthy Little Mouth released 15 years ago today.

[WARF]

Let's talk about the truely under appreciated disc from David Lee Roth.
How much did you like the album when you bought it?
How much do you like it today?
Personally, I think this album showcases DLR's songwriting prowess, better than any of his other solo albums to date.

So Let's talk YFLM!

[Sarge]

I remember going into the record store and asking several times when this album was being released.
It was delayed several times. People laughed at me when I asked about when the latest David Lee Roth cd was coming out.

It ended up being released the same day as the new Motley Crue album.
The one with John Corabi as the lead singer.
The record store I bought the cd from the manager told me. That cd is being released the same day as the new Crue album... I wonder which one is going to chart higher? And laughed.
I was seriously pissed!

Anyways, I remember seeing the video on MTV 1 time. I thought it was very cool.
Once I got internet access in 1996-1997 I started searching for the video online so I could see it again. And here we are now...

I was very underwhelmed with the CD. It is such a contrast from the DLRBAND cd, that was just a few years later. I will say that the CD grew on me, but it took a few years.

I have wanted to interview Nile Rogers for this website and ask him about recording Dave etc..

I caught the tour in Orlando, Florida. They put on a good show. The place was packed!

15 years is a long time!

Breasts,

[Sarge]

I also listened to the album premiere on the Radio.
Those were some good times.


Does anyone care about YFLM? It seems like most peoples least favorite DLR Released.. well besides the Bluegrass Running with the Devil thing..

I caught the tour in Orlando, Florida. They put on a good show. The place was packed!

oddly enough this is the one Dave tour i skipped. can't remember why i decided not to go.

i guess i've made up for it with all the DLR/VH road trips.

I like "No big "Ting", "Sunburn" but not my best, Like the LP "Night Life" with live performances "she's my machine","Panama", "Big Train" "Experience" in 1994, Dave's voice was tired.

[indeedido]

I remember listening to the world premiere on the radio too at the time. It is an ok album, the music is kinda generic. No real tone to speak of. Lyrically good, just musically bland. No Big Ting sounded cool on my JL Audio subs in my car at the time.

[Andy Taylor]

Agreed with that. ^ Giving it a spin now anyway.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I see someone has been reading "This Day in CVH/DLR History"..... :D

[thome]

This was and still is one of my favorite -albums- by anyone...-a thome thing- I used to do when drinking was to ...

put the CD of YFLM on my main stereo ....CRANKED..... and the Cassette (I also had) on my Sony Boom Box at the other end of my house ....CRANKED .... I had lots of fun running from one end of the house to the other using this set up to get just the right amount of delay...I made the whole house like a rock show depending on where I stood

I cannot tell you how cool it sounds try it ...

the tonality is just remarkable...the house just comes alive...I doubt it would work on one system with speakers in other parts of the house you need two different components..lol

perhaps i am MADD I TELL YOU MADD! Ahahahahh aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhahhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaa AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

[hideyoursheep]

It lacked the hard edge to get me interested.

DLR band on the other hand, fucking slayed.

[WARF]

It's really a shame they didn't include Land's Edge on the cd from the, "She's My Machine" single.

[Onofrio]

I skipped school (11th grade) to buy this album the day it came out. My buddy came with and bought the Motley album. I loved this album then and I love it now. Big Train is one of my all time favorite DLR solo songs. Everybody's got the monkey is pretty generic and cheatin heart cafe sucks, (good lyrics tho). I prefer albums like DLR band but every time I play this one I remember why I like it. This tour was the first time I saw DLR (Chicago, at the metro, front and center motherfucker!) and I was floored. I saw him again later in the tour at the star plaza in merrillville IN, and again he was (as always) unbeatable. Far and away his worst touring band, however.

Also, Lands Edge was included, it's Mississippi Power from the She's my Machine single that is not.

[DLR7884]

I prefer YFLM to Skyscraper as a whole. Skyscraper's good songs are better, but the bad ones are way worse.

Some of my favorites-Experience, Night Life, and You're Breathin' It (not the shitty hip hop version)....all great songs and all are underrated.

DLR Band kicked the dick off this album.

[binnie]

A hit and miss album.

Some people think it's 'Dave-lite' but I enjoyed the more laid back groove, and when it works there is a great vibe coming from the speakers.

Then 'No Big Ting' kicks in and I want to vomit.

[DavidLeeNatra]

To me one of my all-time-favorite albums ever...the best lyrics dave ever delivered...a far better album then skyscraper (the one I don't listen to anymore these days). If I have to say something negative about it, it's Dave's voice...he wasn't in his best shape when he recorded it...

I was never the "Dave needs to put out a kick ass hard rocking blow your speakers album"-listener anyway...
