David Lee Roth

Does anybody recall an interview with DLR where he wasn't overloading everything with his one-liners and jokes and was actual personable? Now I'm not saying that I don't like the one-liners and jokes, don't get me wrong.

I remember one interview that he gave on the work that his band put into Skyscraper and how he was so much more meticulous with this album than any other he had ever recorded. It was a great interview, I think one of my all time favs with Diamond Dave.

yeah, I can. The interview he gave from the eat 'em and smile stage, probably a video shoot.
It was right after the first split with VH and it was his side of the story, GREAT fuckin interview, very serious, no b.s. and very HONEST, which I think he has always been, to his credit.
I wish some of the OTHER guys from that band were as honest...... [img]graemlins/drunk.gif[/img]

Dave must have been " coke free " that day.

They are few and far between, but there are a few out there...

i don't remember if the Rolling Stone interview was full of jokes or not, i'll have to dig it out and double-check...

Yeah, they should take some of the interviews with "Diamond Dave" and re-release them as anti-drug ads. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Keep this in perspective too, I am sure that quie a bit of what has been said about Dave is an act. I have heard radio interviews where he was himself, but his personality is always joking.

I'm not sure if it's the one you are thinking of but I remember an MTV interview where he sniffed up a line through a rolled up dollar bill and then tried to be all serious about his thoughts on recently parting with Steve Vai. It was the same interview where he started running around the studio whapping himself in the ass with a fly swatter and rubbing up against a chair. It was very surreal to say the least. I remember saying to myself "Why is this guy throwing things and ranting about Little House on the Prarie and how he would do a Prime Time special with Nellie Olson as co-host??"

Is this the same one?

**SpanishFly Guy** · 09.26.02, 07:18 PM

LMAO!! Now that is funny!

**Marion Barry** · 09.27.02, 07:54 AM

You mean an interview where he sold out his personality and acted like a boring stiff?

No, I can't think of one. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

I think what he's asking is was there an interview Roth ever did that he didn't think that the spot he was standing on at the time wasn't the center of the universe.
