Trunk is holding back from his usual bashing of Roth, he wants a interview and is playing the fence, he does say it well as you will notice for the first time he didn't mention Hagar while talking about VH, that is brownnosing at its finest.
As mentioned earlier, except for "Never was a good singer" he is mostly factual.
DLR was a great singer.
I will point out one more thing that I have never heard covered at this site touched on a little,... these song are 90% high energy tunes of our youth a different set of rules and a bullet proof approach to the notes and the lyrics. Ed and Al have lost a step and can't keep up either, but they are remarkable and the dedication to pull this style of music off at their age is not easy at all.
No one can sing these right at 60...not note for note....got any idea why Metalica slowed down the play in 1990 with that album everyone was upset about.....because even Hetfield (owe my arm hurts!) new he won't be able to play speed metal when he turns 50 and I may have to. So, lets write a slower set of rocks and rolls.
Punk is doable as any age, because it chops throught the measure speed metal is just punk without the, funk breaks....why I never liked speed metal but that is another story......
Stay tuned for more interesting STUFF!!!!!!Last edited by clarathecarrot; 03-26-2015, 07:18 AM.2015 once smoke 2 smoke ...poke

If Trunk would have simply stated that DLR was never known primarily for his singing ability as his main strength as the lead singer of Van Halen, I would've agreed with him 1000%, 'cause that's an absolute fact...
As we all know, Roth is/was the consummate frontman.... It wasn't just the singing, it was the athleticism, it was the bravado, it was the swagger, it was the humor, it was the stories, it was the hair, it was the body, it was the clothes.... Very, very few frontmen in Rock history could touch Dave with the complete package that he brought...
But he went overboard with his criticism that DLR could never sing..... That's simply untrue, but it's not surprising given his preference for his "good buddy" Samuel Roy Hagar....
Sure, DLR never had the pure rock singing voice of a Dio, Halford, and yes, even Hagar.....
But singing alone does not make a great rock frontman... If you saw Dio onstage, it's two hours of flashing the horns and little else, Halford with the same old song intros and little else, and Hagar, well, he's just a farce onstage....
So overall, I agreed with Trunk, but as he always does with Roth, he throws out subtle jabs at Roth while leaning towards Hagar once again.....Eat Us And Smile - The Originals

Who gives a shit about about his opinion on anything apart from the best place to get a donut in the middle of the night?
His far from slick shtick of self promotion, Cliff Clavin windbaggery combined with a simpering rimming of his guests is unwatchable.
It's bizarre that he somehow became the media face of classic rock in the US.
Jesus suffering anal can you imagine being cornered by him in the kitchen at a house party?
The only good thing he has been in was that Burt Reynolds movie...

Dave sounds good on Pretty Woman. Again that asks the question why not clean up the god awful sections of Panama instead of leading with them. Bizarro choices by this bandComment

Oooooooooooooooooooooooh, pretty woman!

Here is Never was at a Van Halen concert:
"Buffy, I do say those steps are taxing. You think they would have a shuttle service that takes us right to our seats."
"I concur, Muffy. And the nerve to not have recharging stations for our Subaru hybrid in the parking lot. Such a travesty."
"Say, Buffy, did you bring our duvets and bottled sparkling water?"
"They no longer allow those at shows like this with all these little people, dear. They might hurt themselves. Only Norte Dame graduates know how to drink water proper. Not like these trough leeching poor people."
"I concur."
"I concur."
"Say, Buffy, my Rolex tells me it's 16 seconds after 8:00 PM. Does it not say the show starts at 8:00PM? Get our attorney on your iPhone and let's sue for breech of contract."
"I'm on it, Muffy. Just like me confirm my appointment for my colonic irrigation..."
"Do you smell that, Buffy? Smells like marijuana. That couple over there toking away, why they drive a non-hybrid, gas-guzzling SUV! We should report them. Everyone knows weed only belongs in Cherry Creek with $800 Bordeaux and cheese only imported from Europe."
"Oh dear, Muffy. The band is too loud. CAN YOU TURN IT DOWN, PLEASE? WE'RE TRYING TO ENJOY THE SHOW!"
"Have the attorney on the phone yet, Buffy? We should also sue the band if we happen to accrue any hearing damage."
"Accrue. We're so educated, Muffy. Not like these little people."
"I concur."
"I concur."Last edited by Kristy; 03-26-2015, 01:51 PM.Comment
