The DLR Cast

[Kristy]

Thanks for the very kind words. Hoping to tape another episode within the next week or so. While not much Dave-related news lately, there are always interesting Dave-related anecdotes to capture. Billy Corgan gave me one a few days ago, which I'll publish in an interview/article on Monday most likely.

I don't care much about Dave but I learned a lot about him through you guys that he's not the asshole I always envisioned him to be. David Lee Roth seems like a kind soul. I enjoy the interviews with people I never heard of from fellow musicians to the woman in one of his videos. It's a great listen on the way to work or walking the dog.

Thanks for listening!

Going to dig into this a bit and see what can be found, if anything. I have a hunch.

Loved the interview with the actor-writer-comedian who met with Roth to talk about possible role in Crazy From the Heat movie.

One thing in relation to that time that has always intrigued me is that in 85 and 86 - or for a period inbetween - ex Sex Pistols 'manager' Malcolm McLaren had been put in charge of CBS Pictures. Whether or not he had anything to do with the Dave movie being commissioned (or whatever the correct terminology would be) I do not know.

But if anyone can get to the bottom of it, Darren, you are the guy.

Haven't listened to these guys in ages mainly due my drug tirade summer of fun. By the way, my vision and walking ataxia has become worse because of it. Oh well. Unlike you government-controlled pussy placebos who spew Kremlin Van Halen propaganda these guys continue to be the real deal. Dave has a "new song" out? I could care less. Devoted podcasters talking about Dave having a new song out is far better than the song itself.

And that makes life worth living

So far no response from them. Fingers crossed.

I'm waiting on my co-host to publish, but we have a real "blast from the past" exclusive on the about-to-be-published episode. "Crazy From The Heat" & "Eat 'Em & Smile" era -- someone a listener who told me to pursue.

Last night I taped something with someone from the Tokyo Dave era. Awaiting permission to use it for the podcast. If not, I'll figure out a way to eventually unearth.

Trying to arrange an interview with someone from the "DLR Band" album/era. May happen next week, if so.

Trying!!!!!! (haha)

Thank you for trying to arrange an interview. She seems to be a fan of early Van Halen which is weird because she seems to love Eddie's 80's chorus sound. I find it fascinating that Eddie is influencing a new generation that wasn't even born yet when he recorded those albums and that they are not copying his style verbatim

[paltrowitz]

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll send a request and see if she's game for an interview.

Interview suggestion: Serra Petale




Although she is more of a Eddie than a Dave Fan

Ha! Thanks for noticing. We were supposed to tape earlier this week, but something came up. Hoping to tape over the weekend -- we have a few more interviews in the can. Hope to have something for you sometime soon.

[Kristy]

They haven't put out anything in awhile. Obviously, it's all Von's fault.

Enjoyed episode 56... covered a lot of interesting tid-bits!

[paltrowitz]

Ha!!!!

Thanks for the kind words in your other post, Kristy.

The nicest way I can explain the purpose of "The DLR Cast" is that we're there to connect the dots. Or at least are trying to. There are periods of both DLR and VH's history where the commonly-believed narrative isn't at all the truth, yet none of the official parties are trying to correct that.

We have some more interviews in the can, and I personally have some interviews that I hope to eventually compile -- for a book? -- that won't be on the podcast. To put it nicely, some of the people who really knew Dave are private or protective and are happy to tell their story, but don't want the audio of that out there.

Saving that for on the way to work tomorrow. The street corner I hustle at shouldn't be too busy by noon and I can listen to it in full.
