I'm digging it yeah. Its what it says it is. Much like Panama. This is live in the studio.

Dave sounds alright to my ears.

[Von Halen]

Why is Dave doing this?

Why is Dave doing this?

It could mean a few things.

Dave could very well be releasing this as an actual product. DLR - Studio Live.

Or he's just giving us some free stuff via youtube etc

Or this is his way of saying "I'm not dead yet" hence "Roth Lives!"

Whatever it is Dave never really does things without reason or motivation.

[Seshmeister]

I think maybe that Gene Simmons thing really got under his skin.

[Mushroom]

Boring.

[Vinnie Velvet]

Maybe Dave can't really perform on stage anymore or maybe he can. I don't know.

But let's be honest, Sharon can drag out a Parkinson Ozzy on stage and have him lip sync; Paul Stanley goes out and lipsyncs, Vince Neil goes out does his thing (still fat though), Joe Elliot at times having trouble holding a note but looks like Martha Stewart and Jon Bon Jovi butchering his own songs ..... what's stopping Dave from going back out??

He can still do it judging by these Studio Live sessions. Some backing tapes featuring Mike on his last tour helped.

There are several festivals that would love to have him on their bill if its not a tour on his own.

Dave has to get creative though. The classic promo shots on these Studio Live releases is a start. Ok, put that on a new T shirt. There are tons of young people out there who would buy and wear it. Dave doesn't have to dress up and try to look like classic Dave - but he can still sell it.

Dave has better control of his baritone and bass range, and he actually sounds good. He should limit himself... the warning light needs to come on once he's getting in the high end of the tenor range.

I think what happens is when he's in a groove and wants to let out a classic Dave scream, he tries but then what comes out is garbly goo.

We've all tried it. Singing along to CVH in the car or wherever and then trying to do those screams. What comes out doesnt sound good. Lol

Dave doesn't have the scream anymore so when he tries it, a garbled yell comes out.

This is the most accurate I’ve heard Dave sing Ain’t Talkin Bout Love in decades. Even the chlorides “my love is rotten to the core.” Estrada sounds very good but yeah the drums are so non-descript and cookie cutter it drags the sound a bit. Still fun! Awesome to know that Dave can still bring it vocally if he wants to.

Yes exactly why I am not a singer. So I give him A for effort.

[MasonL]

Hard to tell. He seems to just do things on a whim without a real endgame in mind. That’s all the way back to the beginning of his solo career. If he had really stuck with that band and made an effort he could’ve maintained some relevancy.

But it could be a way to prime people for a renewal of his Vegas shows. Or just planting a flag and saying “hey I can still do this.” Who knows

[Kristy]

Boring.

Sounds like a high school cover band on talent night.


Roth has money. He can afford a retirement home where he can't hurt nobody

[Kristy]

Why is Dave doing this?

To "platform" himself.


Like, DUH!?

And a couple of hot AF nurses to boot!
