Here's a cover idea for Dave's next solo album that nobody will care about...

At his age he should know physical recovery from regular abuse takes a fair amount of time... and dedication.
He's an interesting character and fun to follow. But lately he's been acting too much like a spoiled rich kid with ADHD and too damn much time on his hands. He seems happy surrounded by his new young friends with cameras and the kids in Japan who laugh at his repetitive sarcasm/humor and well worn one-liners. As Larry the Cable Guy once said... Heck fellas I need to surround myself with 10 years olds... they'll laugh at anything!
As the song says it "Beats Working, Baby"... but in Dave's case I think he's better off when he is working."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

Hey I have a similar steam locomotive full set from maybe 1954 American Flyer set..oh yeah kinda like that train on the top of the engine. (I have info written down somewhere)
Needs a rewire of the locomotive to tender wiring but it runs and is a full set tracks bridge making pieces the log car will off load logs via track switch and the engine blows smoke from some uranium based electric, more than likely hazardous material inside the engine....cool stuff
Fook! here is that old dog from the old days the train inffront of him is the one I got, 302#.This is the Co that built my train..cool...the majic smok is explained...fook'n..
lol

LOL. You're all vocal experts now? Dave's been smoking forever. He sounds the same as he always has.
His problem is skipping or forgetting lyrics, and that has nothing to do with smoking or drinking!Same ole song and dance...Comment

Hmmm.. I think drinking may have played a part. Lol.Comment

I think this episode would have been entirely different if Dave wasn't currently in the band.
Surely if you are talking about booze in his life story then if he was honest it's been absolutely crucial. He almost fucked up the biggest gig of their career by getting wasted on booze at the US festival. He could be explaining how coke can help get your head together when you are drunk.
Or how the alcoholism of the Van Halens completely fucked up his career for 20 years. Or how it is that Alex had to give up booze yet Dave could keep his shit together without falling into crippling addiction like Eddie.
Instead we get to find out Dave doesn't know anything about champagne. Don't get me wrong I like that even as a millionaire rock star he knows much more about beer than champagne but it's kind of incongruous to say that hard liquor was more the drink of the audience when it virtually destroyed them.Comment

I'm no vocal expert, but after a decade or so of singing, I know what not to do. I had schooled myself a bit on preserving the pipes. Not speaking excessively is a tip I heard from many. The smoking effects your vocal endurance as you're trying to force wind out of two charcoal briquettes that were once your lungs. The carbonated drinks burn holes in the back of your throat that lead to the split voiced scratchy sound.
I'm not saying Dave's doing more harm now than he did back in the day. I wasn't there then and I ain't there now, but based on his age, what we've heard and info he's shared with us, it is a bit surprising that the upkeep of his instrument doesn't seem to be remotely one of his priorities.Comment

Exactly! That's what I'm saying! With even a reasonable amount of effort, D-Ro could make great strides with his vocals. I can't agree with Northern Girl. Discerning ears can easily tell the difference between 2008 Dave and 2012 Dave. It's not even close.My karma just ran over your dogma.Comment

It's not the voice. It's the delivery...
Dave is trying to come across like he's still "rockstar" with the drinking and smoking. I don't buy it. I think it's all talk. If you are as conscientious about eating and staying as lean as he is, you are not fucking that up with alcohol. Yeah, he's still got the smoking demon, but 1-2 cigs a day isn't such a big deal. I haven't seen his lung x-rays, and I'm sure there's some cumulative damage there; but it can be lessened by quitting or cutting back. I won't pretend to have stats or the desire to find any, so I won't. But if there's no chance for reversal, why bother quitting at all?Same ole song and dance...Comment
