David Lee Roth Vents About Van Halen's Future

[ELVIS]

What year was that joke from again ??

[private parts]

Not sure... I was born yesterday

[Zing!]

I may revert back to my previous assessment.

VH is fucked.

[sadaist]

VH is fucked.

Have been since 1985.


This is exactly why I (as most of you) when I saw the reunion in 2007 I didn't buy it or celebrate it or believe it until the lights went down & I actually SAW WITH MY OWN EYES Dave & Eddie on the same stage once and for all. Every minute up to that point I held my breath. The first note of YRGM and Dave waving that red flag....was the biggest exhale sigh of relief OMFG it's really happening holy shit I'm so fucking happy moment of my life.

Nahhh. Things jus' heating up.

VHND posted a pretty decent dissection of Dave's interview.

I think so too. Just building things up..IMO ... LIKE boxers or wrestler before a big match. Gotta get all eyes on ya and than bammmmm.

[sadaist]

Although....the MSG opening nearly puts that one to shame


(can't wait to see what they do next time)

Dave made some $ too and got notoriety again, he has room to be himself, he isn't a NYC medic or in obscurity - he has a recent record out with VH and 2 tours that paid well in the last 6 yrs - he has said he has been rich and been poor, and he prefers being rich.

Dave never became a paramedic in NYC because he was hard up for cash. I've always hated that bullshit notion being propagated by the Hagarita Sheep and their ilk. Paramedics only make around $50,000/year and I'm sure Dave makes 4 or 5 times that yearly on VH royalties from all those multi-platinum albums that he has songwriting credits.

Dave became an inner city medic because he admired his father's selfless work as an eye surgeon treating inmates in the California prison system. Dave just wanted to give back to the community in his own way. From his speech at the Cafe Wha gig last January, it sounds like he also regretted never going to college for a degree and wanted to add that to his bucket list. Bravo to a true Renaissance Man like Sir Diamond Roth!

Dave is not motivated by money. He has always been worth around $50 million even during the leanest times of his music career so he's not hard up for cash like Eddie and Alex have been.

No kidding......DAVE's net worth is more than 40 million......he doesn't do much of ANYTHING "because he needs the cash"...........

I find it peculiar that both articles, "Dave Venting" and "Dave give props to MA" are on the official Van Halen FB page.

[ZahZoo]

I believe it's one interview with different media slants on it.

That's funny. It's kind of like their saying, "Hey kids! We're still a bunch of fuckin' loons! Stay tuned!"

No ex wives plays a good part in that as well.

Dave will go down as one of the smartest fuckers in rock history --- he had it all figured out from Day 1 --- don't get married because eventually all these bitches will leave and take your hard-earned millions with them. Make sure the Lloyd's of London paternity insurance is current because there's always some groupie or ex-gf looking for a big payday for "child support" --- and that usually means $25,000 a month for rent and other necessities of a high-maintenance gold diggin' ho.

Dave's been sitting pretty from a financial standpoint ever since the ink was wet on their contract with Warner Bros. He's fucked more gorgeous 20-yr. old strippers than Ed or Alex can dream about, and nothing unsavory has been said about him from a chick he porked. The dude found the Secret to Eternal Happiness!

David Lee Roth is one of the few true rock stars. He lives life on his terms and does what he wants. He persues his passions with a vengeance. Most people are just too scared to exercise their freedom in such ways. Dave is not and that is why Dave has never been and never will be a slave.
