David Lee Roth Better Than Robert Plant Singing Live???

[ThatArtGuy]

Don't worry. I still don't get it, and I'm a fairly sharp guy.

... anyhoo, Robert is apparently doing just fine these days.

Sorry if I'm necro posting (if that means posting in old threads that already ran their course) but Robert Plant and Dave are two different critter completely. On stage they both sing and dance around but RP never told anyone he was going to fuck their girlfriend or try to proof they could drink gallons of booze without barfing. RP never felt much need to be the man off stage. Dave tries to make his stage persona his real persona. RP was/is a family man who tries to keep his personal life and his stage life seperate. If the members of Zep ever fought backstage it stayed backstage. Van Halen is/was a great American band. Zep is/was a great band internationally. I think Zep will be remembered long after VH is completely forgotten. I still like Van Halen and Dave but I never thought VH and Zep were in the same league. VH could have been but ego killed that long ago.
BTW: If you hate Dave so much, why do you post here Kristy?

In my opinion the only time 'necro posting' is a problem is if the title is something like 'Hagar to tour with Van Halen' and it's from 10 years ago and gives people a fright.

Going back to non specific(datewise) topics and relaunching them I think is totally fine.

That said I'm Scottish and at this time of year not reliable in any way to the point that by law we officially have two days vacation just to get over the debauchery...

I wonder what Dave was like before he joined his first band. I'd like to hear what other things he was into. I've never read his book (if he has one) but I've never heard much about him other than his life with, after and with VH again. I know he likes cars but I've never heard about any he's owned. Other than the Merc that is. I almost forgot about the Merc.

Q: David Lee Roth Better Than Robert Plant Singing Live?

A: Yes! End of Discussion!

I've got an even better question. Why do we have to over-analyze shit that we already know? Is this a fuckin' college research project or something?!?! It's called rock n' roll, not homework!

[BITEYOASS]

Oh wait, here's another Q&A for ya!

Q: Why is Krusty such an uptight cunt?

A: Who the fuck knows, she just is!

A: Yes!

That must be why Van Halen put out so many live albums and Zep didn't. Dave's the man in VH but he's no Robert Plant. Robert Plant still has a career.

Uptight? Yes.Tight? Doubtful. She's been rode hard and put away wet many times. She was a Zep groupie till Page gave her the boot. Colorado. Isn't that where Kobe Bryant cornholed that girl? Maybe it was Kristy.

Well the main reason their hasn't been any official live albums is due to some stupid legal bullshit that we don't know about.

That's probably true. I've heard something of that nature but you can't deny Plant had a much better solo career with musicians nobody ever heard of. He didn't need another Page to be successful. Dave had Steve Vai in his band and couldn't make it as a solo act. Van Halen screwed the pooch when they parted ways with Dave but they were headed for mediocrity even with Dave. The split with Dave just made everyone forget how shitty they were getting. They might have gotten their mojo back but we'll never know now.

The singer is always going to be the weak link in an ageing band. Plant has realised that he can't do what he did at 22, and the rest of the band moderate the songs to accomodate him. The sisters don't, and Dave still struggles his way through.

I guess it's a question of versatility plus getting along............

I heard Peter Grant and Bonzo used to duke it out but the rest of the guys got along fine. The Beatles, The Who and The Stones used to get into fights but I never heard of the members of Zep beating or wanting to beat each other senseless. I read somewhere that the members of "Eagles" use to talk shit to each other during songs on stage. They'd say shit like after this show's over I'm kicking your ass on a regular basis. Henley and Frey are the only real "Eagles" left in the band. I think they fired the other guys one by one till they were the only two left.
