VH very fan friendly these days. Awesome stuff.

Just saw this over at the Army. Good stuff. I always learn new stuff from Dave lyrics like Alabama Chrome is slang word for "duct tape".

So it is Alvin Ailey, thought it might be from the Tattoo video. We were in that exact studio a few months ago for a fundraiser where my wife was shooting video.

I love Dave to death and with all due respect....he's still one crazy creative son of a bitch!

Roth On!

See? More censoring! The original lyric was, "Hey, what the fuck; it runs!" He changed it to "what the hell" on the record!

WHY!?!?

Brilliant! Man, I am so glad that Dave is back where he belongs.

[Chaotic]

I think this is my favorite Roth album, from a lyrical standpoint. Including VH and solo.

[fudd]

Dave is a smart mother fucker.

There is a fine line between genius and crazy... a line Dave is stepping over... you know the rest.

and I am still amazed that they didn't hit one red light going through NYC on the last part of the video. But simple things like that impress me. When my girlfriend wants my attention she rolls a shiny ball across the floor.

After listening to the "word jazz" spoken As Is. I'm thinking Shatner needs to cover VH. LOL. I thought the spoken lyrics were well done. Interesting to say the least.

The lights are all timed so that if you drive the right speed, you won't hit any red lights. As long as theres not a lot of traffic it's actually possible to do.

I'm loving all these videos. I'm regreting not jumping on tickets for this tour. :(

I'll never forget when Sammy sat down at the tiki bar. Some kind of alien pulled his finger, uh, a string. The word jazz that followed was unmatched. Unmatched in what, I will not say.

[YankeeRose]

Much better video than the first As Is video.:D

[Harpospoke]

DLR is a one of a kind. Somehow, VH got two guys who are totally unique.
