I'm sure this has already been talked about, but I didn't see a thread for it yet, but Dave finally put some work into www.davidleeroth.com. Finally dave as a website!!!

Been like that for a long while.

I gave up on that place months ago, it cool to see the change

The way it is now is as old as Rome.

about fucking time...

Nice site, now how about a new record Dave?

My god the performance videos of "Jump" and "California Girls" are fucking pathetic. Look I love Dave as much as any VH fan anywhere but this guy is without a doubt a shadow of his former self. The voice is shot, the forehead has become a fivehead and he looks like Larry from Three's Company doing an impression of a lounge singer. Sad, sad, sad. Playing with the "pops" didn't help matters either.

Now you know why VH doesn’t want him back.

Sure they do.

In fact, when Ed was in rehab this past winter in NYC it was because Dave had referred him to the place....as well as to a doctor to look at his cancerous tongue.

A reunion is forthcoming....

Why not? Van Halen did there best nostalgia Jimmy Buffet bore-fest tour last year. Sam had the bloated BETTE MIDLER in red pajama thing goin' and his screechy Janice Joplin was missin' many of the high notes. Ed looked like a reject from Bum fights, and Michael Anthony...well what can I say regarding the hair plug mullet? And of course, Alex hid is mongoloid mug behind the drum kit. Pot, mother-fuckin'-tea kettle pal! But I bet you 'love' SAM, ALEX, ED, and even Mikey as much as anybody. So much so that you failed to mention any criticism.;)

Nothing is forthcoming.

I wish that we had as many insiders as the joint across the street does. :)

I could have sworn I went to Dave's site 2 days ago and it was the same old slideshow???

I haven't gone over the site yet, but from what I've seen so far it's the update that's been badly needed!

It's amazing - the amount of info across the street at that newsstand. It's interesting and entertaining - but all they sell is the National Enquirer.

Agreed Grant. I went there last week just because I hadn't been there in so long, and of course it was the same old thing. I'm suprised they finally updated that place.

And yes those clips of Dave with the Boston Pops are bad. Very bad. Not the vocal performance..just the whole dumb idea.

I don't know what's up, but it was definitely the old site I saw and it was this week. It wasn't cached on my PC either because I hadn't been there for many months.

Didn't look at those - I saw them last year (probably at Sarge's site). I didn't think they were too bad. I still romanticize about Dave returning to the band. :)

Hey, saw Soul Sirkus in your sig. I saw Virgil play here in Melbourne 2 weeks ago. Smokin' as usual. One question - does Virgil play on the album? He has a really distinctive drum sound and I don't think it's his playing on the album. I'm guessing it was recorded before he joined the band??

Do yourself a favor and DON'T look at those clips! LOL

Yes Virgil plays on the Soul Sirkus cd, but it's on the newer version. The first version has Deen Castronova on drums. You're right about Virgil's style too, it's way more technical than Deen's who's got a more 80's feel. You can purchase the newer version of World Play at www.nehrecords.com

It comes with a free dvd too that features a short interview with the band, and two video's. It's very cool. And if you stop by my SS board, Jeff Scott Soto is a member, so it's cool to have one of the band at my site ya know. He posts too. Nice dude.

That's awesome. Too bad VH never posted here.

Says in the bio section, looks like he's doing a follow up book sequel to Crazy from the Heat; The Tao of Dave. Philosophy and chili recipes.

Heh.

Sweet.

LOL I'll be purchasing that one.

I remember when I bought Crazy From The Heat I got into it with the cashier at B. Daulton. She was a Sammy fan. I don't think I need to go into what the argument was about. I think I won though. :)

Lookin forward to this. I love a good chili.

That should be fun.

Wow, I was embarrassed to watch the clip of "Jump" and I'm the only one here. God awful is what that is.

Dave vs. Sammy arguements maybe what will start World War III.

LOL I would have let her win, but she started out with Top Of The World against any of the Dave stuff. Welp..I'm just not gonna let that slide. I don't even think she heard any of the Dave stuff pre 1984. It's sad.

I just wonder why those clips were chosen to put up. He's been playing lately, why not put newer stuff up there? Maybe they (he) just dosen't give a crap about the website? Who knows.

Speaking of...I wore my 5 star shirt tonite and went and got my hair cut and the girl asked me 'Sam or Dave' (of course). In the end, I didn't have to argue with her. Hell, at this point, I'm just glad that people freakin' know that much about Van Halen to even bother with the question.

Nice improvements to the site!

Nothing is forthcoming.


Please Brett say it aint so! Me want Dave now!

At this point, who cares if he can't sing...just bring it!

I don't know what's up, but it was definitely the old site I saw and it was this week. It wasn't cached on my PC either because I hadn't been there for many months.

You DID see the old site earlier in the week...according to Dave's site, the NEW version was just launched today, 07/01/2005.

It's amazing - the amount of info across the street at that newsstand. It's interesting and entertaining - but all they sell is the National Enquirer.


:rolleyes:

Enough with the Army vs. the Links shit. It's as old as the Roth vs. Hagar diatribes.....(see below) :devil:

Similar story, different ending:

Was in Raley's a couple of weeks back wearing my '79 Tour Shirt. The guy @ the counter says "Van Halen. Cool, man. You like 'em better with David Lee or Sammy?" I said, "You know, dude, I'm a Roth-era fan first & foremost. I think the music they made during that period of time kicked ass the most, but they did write some songs with Hagar that rock..." and he says, "Yeah, like DREAMS." Before I could say anything, the guy next to me in line says, "Jeez, dude, Dreams? I'm a Halen fan too & that's the last Van Hagar song I think of when I hear the word 'rock'. BTW. Killer shirt, dude, II is one of my faves."

Got a good laugh out of that one.

Not done to start a war, but if ye must, flame on.

I was on the tire playground during 8th grade and I was sporting a 5150 Tour shirt, when the bullies decided to show thehir Roth support by supplexing my of the big pyramid! Fuckin' Dreams!!!!!!!!

I'm sure Dreams has lead to many beat downs across the globe.

:funny:

I'm sure Dreams has lead to many beat downs across the globe.

I'm sure "I'll Wait" has lead to some as well. But I'm sure "How Many Say I" must have lead to the beat of Mike Post. That guy should be tarred and feathered for making Ed believe it belonged on a record. :D

I'm sure Dreams has lead to many beat downs across the globe.

:funny:


Don't beat me for this, but I saw pics of Dave and he looked great to me. He wasn't all bleached and flashy. He looked like Dave would look nowadays, to me anyways. His hair color looked almost normal!! :sssh:

The new site's a big improvement!

In between DJ gigs, saving lives, and recording VH 1 nostalgia shows, of course. :cool:

LOL. 1 page. 1 pic. Nothing else. Dave's site is as weak as ever. The usual.

What's with the guy? He could have a wicked website. Could be popular, but instead it's always just sucked.
Fast forward Dave. It's 2005. The information age is upon us. Join us.

Straight from Dave's new webmaster :thumb: :

Hi,

I'm with you. It will be back soon I promise.

Dave made an exeuctive decision as a result of late breaking news and
different sources taking content off the site etc... Not sure why
really but he's the boss.

Best Regards

It must be the bomb to have David f'n Lee Roth for a boss. I need that job!

The Howard Stern replacement gig????

Sweet.

I'm looking forward to that one too. Got my mom reading "Crazy from the Heat" right now. She was surprised at the level of Dave's intelligence.

Just curious about something...
I don't know all that much about Dave, but I have never heard him to have a steady girlfriend and I suppose he's never been married. I always see him in videos and pics with lots of beautiful women, and I was wondering how come he doesn't have one of his own by now?
Sam landed Kari and she's beautiful...Dave's a pretty good looking fellow, seems like he should have scored a nice gal by now too...is there something I don't know about him??? No slam on the man...like I said to begin with...just curious is anyone knows what's up with this.

JA :) <---just heard his rendition of The Door's "Soul Kitchen" for the first time tonight...not bad...not bad at all. :)

I'm glad you asked that question Jeanette because I've wondered about that too. I mean if Gene Simmons can have a Playmate put up with his crap for this many years, it would seem Dave could have quite the babe.

straight from the concert page: "...what he's playing and who he's playing with!"
We already know he's playing almost only VH stuff... Now, if we only knew something about who's he playing with...
I have a strange feeling about this one...

I have a pic from one of the tabloids a few years ago with Dave and an unnamed blond whom they refer to as "Roth's steady for many years". Don't know how true is is/was, but Dave has managed to keep his love/dating life on the dl for many years.

I haven't read CRAZY FROM THE HEAT yet, trying to get a copy, but there's something in there about DAVE getting serious with a video director in the early to mid-80's. But she began pushing hard for the ring, and I guess they mutually broke it off.
