DLR interview - Australia

[Angel]

I think not only did he confirm it, but he's given the fans permission to accept Wolf. Don't forget...he sees us...internet...

[ELVIS]

Dave is not on the internet...

Here's my take.... Somewhat of a downer to read the last paragraph in the article when thinking about the 07 press conference and Dave's "new band, brotherhood like it never was, take on the world" vibe. However, what person can guarantee anything beyond the horizon? We do know this, however.... If VH is to continue past ADKOT and the tour...... the options are slim to none for the band without Dave's involvement. The real question here is where's eddie's mind on all of this? Does he care to continue or is ADKOT his swan song as he endeavors onto solo and experimental projects with Wolf

I really hope this thing continues...but do need to enjoy day by day.

He's got a dog named "Mike"!
"canine athletes" - cool job title. My friend is a "budtender" and he actually put that on official forms.

Hmmm? According to an article from the LA Times this past weekend, Dave's canine companion is Russell (Lee Roth). ?

[ELVIS]

He has two dogs...

Here is the interesting thing.....

In life we are all mirrors, reflecting those people who are around us. In a band, you are looking at a collaboration.....mirrors all reflecting one another....some of them warped like a funhouse...some of them cracked.....some of them full length..some of them like the little piece in a lady's compact while she puts her lipstick on.....

SO....the relevance is that yes, Wolfy is a badass bassist, but look who the other half of the rhythm section is....Uncle Alex.....christ...if I grew up playing bass with Alex Van Halen I would be a badass fucking bassist too.....and of course....the genetic pool...the apple does not fall far from the tree as they say.....

I am looking forward to seeing Wolfy on this tour.....I mean, I did not even see the last tour....and the bootleg video I was seeing was of a 16-year-old kid suddenly thrust into the limelight playing bass for the greatest rock band on Earth. Bet it took him awhile to get comfy in those oversized public shoes.....

Look at him now. He has had 5 more years to play.....and as all us musicians know....live performance will reap the greatest improvement in functional musicianship....because there is no "second take". You get out there and do your Al Jolson routine, and there is no turning back......so I would be willing to be the improvement of Wolfy's performance was drastic from the beginning of the 2007-2008 tour to the end....and it has been almost 4 years since the end of the tour.....

He has earned his place...paid his dues.....anyone who questions his ability now is an inbred retard dog-fucker without a clue.

Once again, in this interview....Dave has shown why he has such a great reputation with the turn of a phrase......
