Has that awesome David Lee Roth scream/sound generator vanished from the internet forever?

It's not where it used to be, but I'm hoping to find it mirrored somewhere.

was there ever a time when DLR didn't come off like a drunk uncle? i mean, that's just who he is.

Part 2 of the interview series
This one's really great, because they talk about the nuts and bolts of their first WB record deal and why it takes so long to make albums now as opposed to the one-per-year they used to make.

yeah, i know, but he used to wear it better, imo. this stuff is more "i-i-i-i-i ain't got nobody" than "ain't talkin' 'bout love". big gap there.

Was totally going to see them tonight, but I promised a friend I'd see Bettye LaVette. She was good, but she's not Van Halen.

Who would win in a fight between WVH and DLR?
― how's life, Friday, 18 May 2012 12:05 (eleven years ago) link
Wolfgang is a strapping 21-year-old man now, not even a question really
― that's why god made kokomo (some dude), Friday, 18 May 2012 12:39 (eleven years ago) link
I dunno, man. DLR has always been into martial arts. Now, if we're talking a bong-off, it'd be a toss off, but I bet DLR could toss Wolfgang across the room.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 18 May 2012 12:45 (eleven years ago) link
i expect DLR has a Batman-like file on each of his teammates, describing their weaknesses in detail in case he has to neutralize them.
― da croupier, Friday, 18 May 2012 12:47 (eleven years ago) link
also DLR probably would not be above revealing some dark-ass shit about Wolfie's parents, mindfucking the poor kid just long enough for an expertly placed karate chop
― da croupier, Friday, 18 May 2012 12:49 (eleven years ago) link
maybe i'm just fooled by DLR's goofy public persona but i almost kind of imagine that he doesn't even really hate the Van Halens and he just keeps getting on their bad side by being obnoxious
― that's why god made kokomo (some dude), Friday, 18 May 2012 12:52 (eleven years ago) link
oh i doubt DLR would start the fight. but he would finish it.
― da croupier, Friday, 18 May 2012 12:52 (eleven years ago) link
like the seperate dressing room areas thing could totally be "we don't want to have to listen to him talk backstage, the banter during the show is enough"

― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 18 May 2012 12:53 (eleven years ago) link
his autobio definitely suggests DLR is always his electricifying self and the van halen brothers are miserable fellows who can't handle the glory. sammy hagar and michael anthony would at least agree with the last part.
― da croupier, Friday, 18 May 2012 12:54 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i loved Crazy In The Heat but it's been like 12 years since i read it, really should revisit it

Shake Your Rump was my own #1, and has been since pretty much the first time I heard it. I may not have fully understood Paul's Boutique when I was 15, but I understood that Shake Your Rump was otherworldly great.

As cool as that photo is, my first reaction is an urge to punch Sean Penn in the face.

Mike D looks about 13 and like he has mumps in that picture.

I had REMEMBERED "Panama" as having this long instrumental bridge with lots and lots of bong and lighter foley but I guess I got that wrong?

the new album is nice when it shows up in random rotation

Why didn't anyone tell me there is an entire 1982 show up on youtube? So damn good so far.

That's from the Capital Centre in Largo, MD either Oct 11 or 12, 1982.

Man, I was driving down 495 the other day and I realized that there's still a shopping center called Boulevard at the CAP CTR. R.I.P.
― spanky hotel frogstrot (how's life), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 16:47 (eleven years ago) link
Can't believe that's still there! You would have thought they'd rename it after 15 years or however long it's been gone.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 16:49 (eleven years ago) link
This show is reminding me just how amazing DLR is at pandering to the crowd. A true master.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 16:53 (eleven years ago) link
That was pretty great. (Skipped through, but saw a lot of it)
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 17:56 (eleven years ago) link
DLR on the language of video. Along the way, you get a Bruce Springsteen imitation, a deconstruction of Picasso, and how "DLR" wouldn't exist without the Nicholas Brothers.
