VHND Video: Dave Explains "Tattoo" Lyrics

[TJMKID]

Dave is fucking awesome, he would have been the best professor in college I never had lol

I was thinking the same thing ---- how cool would it be to have Dave guest lecturing a music history class at NYU? Holy fuck --- Dave would have a whole new angle for banging hot co-eds!

This video also reinforces how retarded cumstains like Jim Florentine totally miss the boat ---- calling "Tattoo" a cheesy song with cheesy lyrics.

We have to embrace these kind of moments because they are quickly disappearing ---- I mean who is gonna watch Justin Beiber sit on a stool and explain one of his songs 40 yrs. from now?

Can you see Sambo trying to wax poetic about one of his songs? "Well....umm....uh....I like my wife's pussy....so I wrote "Poundcake" you see.....she's homegrown and down-home, now that's a woman.....I'm so damn smart!"

[DavidLeeNatra]

in my best Ozzy impersonation: "I...I...I... me...me...mean...who the fuck is Justin Bieber...?"

Dave is a natural born story teller. I could listen for hours.

[Sensible Shoes]

It's funny, that's what all the girls say - I could talk to Dave for hours - or just listen to HIM talk.

[GreenEyedMurder]

It's funny, that's what all the girls say - I could talk to Dave for hours - or just listen to HIM talk.

Ha! Am I the only one who not only didn't mind, but actually enjoyed, his rambling on between songs a couple of times at Cafe Wha?

[Sensible Shoes]

Course not! I love when he does that!

[Bob_R]

That was cool.

I remember Springsteen did the similar thing years ago but at a college university or some sort of intimate setting in front of a couple of thousand people. He even went as far as to play guitar and piano while explaining the ideas and meanings behind some of his songs.

don't know how often I watched some intro to ice cream man from the last tour...same story and he tells it every night as if it was the first time ever he told it...great storyteller he is...and it never got old...

Nothing But Sweet As.

Ray Luzier called it the "School of Roth"...

[chi-town324]

Obviously alot of thought went into this album. Maybe thats why it took so long. But i believe it's gonna blow our socks off!!
There is only one David Lee Roth!!

What really killed the experience for me was the overlong "chapters" Stephen King would tack onto his recent books.

I used to love King, but he lost me at The Dark Tower.

[POJO_Risin]

I dunno, part of me doesn't want to know. I like Dave's lyrics because we all take from them what applies to us in our lives. Sometimes, not knowing what the hell he is singing about is better and leaves much to the imagination. That grey area is what kept this site going these many years, lol

Fuck it...even when he says what they mean...does he really mean what he says?

[SparkieD]

I wish every person who went into a tattoo studio was forced to listen to this, especially the part about how it does and should hurt. I guarantee you there would be far less shitty ink. Dave's brilliant, as always.

[gbranton]

Fuck it...even when he says what they mean...does he really mean what he says?

And if so, would it be poetry in ink?
