VH: Oh yeah. And Noel Monk (the manager) was his goddamn puppet - did everything he wanted. And that's partly why Al and I wanted to change; we wanted a manager who managed the band - not someone who did only what one person said.


GW: Had you left during Fair Warning, it would have been...


VH: ...different, sure. Well, let's put it this way: The end result is, I'm very happy now. Whatever it took to get where I am now, I'm very happy.


GW: Was 'Dreams' played on the MIDIed piano?


VH: Yeah, I think so. We never even got to work with Dave on that; we rehearsed maybe for a total of a week within a month's time.


GW: So he had heard some of the new material?


VH: Oh yeah. I had 'Good Enough' and 'Summer Nights' and we'd begun work on 'Dreams.'


GW: It appears from 5150 that you writing has moved in new directions.


VH: It's constantly changing I guess. I don't really know where inspiration comes from - or anything comes from.

You can go to www.webarchive.org, type in www.slawterhouse.com, and go thru the Wayback machine to the old SH site. It has these articles up there.

Those links say page cannot be displayed... ....I'd love to read those old interviews... ...plus any recent ones with Roth...

Gene, oh great tongued bat lizard.....breathe fire and make Sammy go POOF!

Tell me you're not serious about Hagar doing Roth's songs live on the new greatest hits? Please! Say it isn't so!!!

Try now. I just had the commas stuck in the links (but I removed them) that's all. You can always try typing them in yourself if they don't work!

O.K. but what is the "old SH" site? It just brings up another search engine. What do I type in to find the interviews?

Technically, he isn't "in the band" except for presently being the hired hand front man for this tour.

"SH" is Slawterhouse which is Dave's old website. Just type in www.slawterhouse.com What Dave did, was he comandeered that website. I think it was started by a DLR fan prior to that.

That's news to me. I was under the impression, in fact told on many occasions, that Dave never 'got' this whole internet thing...

he actually moderated a website at one point?

No. He comandeered it. Meaning he christened it the official Diamond Dave website and let these other guys run it. Instead of asking me, go to the Wayback machine at webarchive.org and then you can browse the Slawterhouse pages for yourself. Dave had all kinds of shit up there at one point, including rare tracks and audio recordings of himself relaying messages to the fans. Many of us here at the Army were members at the Slawterhouse Forums.

One tidbit here......Noel Monk apparantly (so i am told) has the masters of the ENTIRE Oakland '81 show. It was originally intended for release as a live video. But when they split with him, he too it, along with TONS of other stuff, including various tour wardrobes, music, and memorebilia (sp?). Anyway, nobody even knows where Monk is, for the most part. I do know that the VH camp keeps an eye out for anyone trying to sell the stuff on Ebay, etc. Apparantly Noel tried doing it through a magazine (or newspaper...cant remember) ad years ago. It got yanked real quick and to this day never seen again anywhere else. Story has it he has literally a tractor-trailer truck full of this stuff. Who knows....maybe someday in the near future it'll surface.

Fuck Noel Monk....The Sex Pistols hated that cocksucker....In the movie "Sid & Nancy" the whiny, nerdy guy on the bus that Johhny Rotten calss "A silly Cunt" is based on Monk....SO FUCK HIM!!!!!
