At the very least, I was glad that the Diamond Dave swagger returned on ALAE. Went missing on Skycrapper for the most part.
Dave was the poster boy for "happy rock" and so he got blasted in the media for the excess cleavage and smiling he did in the "A Lil Aint Enough" video and he got burned at the stake. I wonder how many well-adjusted middle class kids in the suburbs put a revolver in their mouths and came close to pulling the trigger just because Cobain made it cool to be like that.Leave a comment:

Believe it or not, it is.....
What I did NOT know, until I read that Wiki, was that his first producer credits were for punk rock bands in Vancouver.
Young Canadians and the Subhumans, produced by the same guy who did ALAE and Metallica's "Black Album".... who knew??Leave a comment:

I do agree with your formula take. ALAE did have an overall sound that seemed almost safe at times. It wasn't as raw feeling as Eatem and was more radio friendly hard rock.Leave a comment:

All comes down to timing.
"A Lil Ain't Enough" is one of my fav Dave solo tunes to this day --- but it bombed on the charts because it came out when rock music was about being pissed off and depressed and not showering for a week --- not doing split jumps off a Jeep and ogling girls with big tits.
"Mean Street" could hit the radio this week and most kids 15-21 would hate it because you can't dance to it like a Nicki Minaj song.Last edited by TJMKID; 04-02-2013, 04:18 PM.Leave a comment:

Production values aside (although I like the sound of ALAE) --- just seems like "Diamond Dave" returned on ALAE whereas he was kinda AWOL on Skycrapper.
Just crank a song like "Shoot It" --- that is Diamond Lee Roth swagger hitting back in a big way!
I listen to "Knucklebones" and Dave sounds like he's deliberately trying to sound like a cartoon character.Leave a comment:
