David Lee Roth talks Nicholas Brothers, Dick Gregory, Robin Harris, Soul Singers, & the Soul Train Dancers You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Oh nice! seems like DLR has toned himself down a bit in his old age. Which is really nice to see. Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

Toned down?! I was at one of his shows around 91. This young girl walks past us looking dazed, confused, traumatized. Come glazed in her big hair! I ask this security guard, wtf happened to her? "Oh she just blew diamond Dave and his crew!". What are you outraged about today? CNN has not told you yet? | |

Is there a point where the best bits start in the interview? I can't give DLR 34 minutes of my life | |

Uhhhh yeah that's the point. That was in 1991, this interview is from 2014. Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

I used to think Dave was the absolute coolest when i was a kid. I watched interviews and thought he was the funnest and hippest guy. Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

Another Roth story. He was playing a show in NY and a couple miles from the show was the usual rough part of town, strip clubs, dive bars, etc. Some kids that I knew hanging out and Roth runs up to them in a panic. Gives the kids $200 to "borrow" a bicycle so he can peddle to the auditorium they are playing. Tells the kid just show up at the auditorium and ask for so n so and he will get his bike back. He said he lost track time and needed to get to the show, was running a few minutes behind. I think that had to be 88? Or 89? They got the bike back no problem. I remember the other story was when Extreme and Cinderella opened for him? Thinking it was 91. True and he was boozing that day. I was a big time Extreme fan and Gary got me some passes that day. I hung out with them a couple weeks before that show at a radio event. The guys from Extreme had a limo that this radio station sent them. They did a signing then a show for radio station and actually sent the limo to get coffee specifically from McDonalds. Haha! I don't think Starbucks was happening quite yet. Roth was doing shots of jack I believe that day of show w Extreme, Cinderella. Extreme killed them all that day. What are you outraged about today? CNN has not told you yet? | |

I always thought Roth solo that he was best w Steve Vai. The live show then just had more energy. After Vai left it was interesting but not the same but I do like the 1998 release. I fell same about Stephen Pearcy working with this cat called Mark Zavon, that was short lived. They say good guitar players come a dime a dozen but I don't even believe that anymore.
