How Steve Stevens Almost Joined David Lee Roth’s Band

[DONNIEP]

That was an accident. Dave was a little drunk that night, and thought he was working with Sobolewski again.....

Mikey's plugs look better than ol' Travis's

Too bad Dave can't release his year old album worth of recordings he did with John. Sure would be nice to talk about some new news or music.

As long as Dave has his trailer hitched to the Van Halens for whatever reason, he can't do anything. The brothers even got pissed off at Mike for selling hot sauce even when it had nothing to do with them or the band. But Eddie can sell all the shit he wants and Alex can sell drum sticks and ride cymbals. Two fucking hypocrites. If you are in Van Halen and that isn't your family name bend over.

Frankly. I wold love to see Dave tell them to fuck off actually.

[Nitro Express]

It would have been interesting - I sense that Steve Stevens can adapt his style for pretty much anyone.

I think he's a real musician meaning he can read music and understands theory. Those are the guys who can adapt because they have the skills to adapt. You can have great players but frankly without a broader musical set of skills, you are limited. Studio musicians are real musicians and yeah, some of them actually have some stage magic in them.

I was looking for a bird on her hat. I forgot you guys call females birds.

I'm glad he went with VAI.
I enjoyed Stevens with Idol and Vai with DLR. Worked out fine..

[Angel]

Even I, with all the BS I talk about wolfie and stuff, don't want the VH thing to be over. I'd just like to see/hear/buy this new record. There's no reason Dave can't do a side project or two.

You know that. I know that. Somebody tell Ed..

[twonabomber]

Yeah, ain't that the truth!

I might have preferred Steve Stevens, but then again, he's a bit one-dimensional. It's not like he and Vince Neil exactly set the world on fire..

That's Vince's fault! I will not tolerate slams on Steve Stevens!

(admitted Stevens fanboy bias showing)

Listening to the interview now. I had suspected that Warners made Stevens work with Neil after Atomic Playboys didn't meet expectations, and that's what I'm picking up from this interview.

Stevens looked bored playing Mick Mars' parts. I liked Atomic Playboys, and most of Exposed. Don't care for the sappy shit.

I have a bootleg of the Stevens/Michael Monroe Jerusalem Slim disc. It's okay. I am no major Monroe fan though.

Saw the Whiplash Smile tour, and then Idol sans Stevens on the Charmed Life tour, and then twice more together. They are much better together than apart.

Didnt Steve Stevens and seb Bach butcher/pub band/guitar hero a van tune posted on here .
I know am a tough audience but if they played the fat ox like that the clink of brown ale would be deafening

Never heard him play it with Sebastard Bitch, and I wouldn't want to. But he's played "Jump" with Idol on occasion, and that sounded pretty good.....

[vandeleur]

Things I learnt from that video .

Ed was billy idols bass player before he found slim fast .
Steve Stevens is shit at copying ed.
Jump is never gonna be my fav van song no matter who plays it , and with only 3 people in the audience joining in the other 50 thousand agree .
Oh and not sure when that was but billy idol is in a lot better Nick than many of his punk rock contemporaries .

On second hearing it's not terrible and 10/10 for enthusiasm for Seb

[Guitar Shark]

Count me as a fan of both Stevens and Bach. Stevens sounded great with Idol, and to this day I still like several Skid Row songs. "Monkey Business" is a particularly good one.

Saw F A T Steve last night on Kimmel. Pa-Tha-TIC. Actually, Steve looked looked like your typical middle-aged F A T kid going on 14 doing his best in not trying to embarrass himself too much to Billy Idol's highly arthritic fist pumps and face sneers. Music was your sub-standard corporate "punk" with a lot a sequence and cheesy lighting. Steve would be better off he if he playing in Skynyrd, showing his F A T chubby cheeks every now and then at Comic Con to those who don't have clue-fucking-one as to who he is. 'Blue Highway' was his peak - all he could do (and has done) is go downhill from there.

Ghey. The drummer looks like a twice convicted felon and the bass player on his way to a diabetic coma. These fucking rock stars, man. There should be a law for when they get too old they are banned from playing live in public - permanently!

Even worse...I think it was lip-synced.
