The Roth Show

[PETE'S BROTHER]

Dave's greatest strength was that he had no weaknesses! You're a relatively newer fan who's into to his intelligent persona, sex appeal and showmanship. He's still got that going on, so your pretty much covered. Older fans couldn't disagree with you more, however, regarding Dave's vocal abilities. He sang (and screamed) with such a powerful dynamic through out the bulk of his career. Sammy couldn't emulate the record version of RWTD to save his life, yet he's always been touted as the better singer. I personally enjoy Dave's singing and lyrics more than all of the other stuff.

si, know almost every word to every song sung by dave, still tryin' to air guitar the bass intro to RWTD

That is absolutelly correct. I am into all of that you mentioned. Singing is secondary. I never thought of him as a great singer. He is good and perfect for Van Halen, but nothing more. Don't get me wrong, I do LOVE great singing. But I go somewhere else for that.

DLR's voice is like playing a every so slightly out of tune piano with the grandest exhilaration of singing and celebration happening all around was had by all... instead of waiting for someone to come and tune it perfectly .

..and that is what makes it great.

Have you listened to the first six VH albums in their entirety? Good is a major understatement.

OMFG! What the hell?!


That's like, well it's the same as, or kinda similar to.......oh fuck. It ain't like anything! For fucks sake get to youtube and listen to these albums. They are things of beauty, perfection, the best god dammed collection of songs ever recorded. And can you believe it's all from 4 drunken & stoned shlubs from Pasadena?

LMFAO You guys... I will hear them. I just don't wanna rush. There are only six of them and I have at least 60 more years to live I like to take it slow and suck on it for a while. Save some for later.
