DLR Conquers The Universe!!!

[theodore templeman]

The dude is unstoppable.

First, for six consecutive albums he single-handedly revolultionizes the sound of rock with his band Van Halen culminating in the smash multi platinum 1984 which spawned his brilliant hit single Jump.

Then he embarks on a groundbreaking solo career cranking out risky and innovative material that is adored by critics and fans alike. Record buyers are awed by the guitar acrobatics of Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan and John Lowry. The momentum never ends with Roth still reveling in his solo artist success to this day.

And then, in a fit of marketing genius he masterminds the concept of a tour with his VH replacement Sammy Hagar. The tour is a resounding success as stadiums are being filled to capacity like condoms in a Thai brothel.

Now that he has conquered the planet Earth all the DLR fanatic can ask now is, "What's next?"

Naturally I hope for some sort of reconciliation with VH. If not, I hope that Dave will release some of his unreleased material like that Brass version of "Ice Cream Man" that he did with Nile Rogers and Edgar Winter a few years back. I would also like him to do a more innovative album like Skyscraper. The sky is the limit with him. You just never know.

I'm beginning to worry about some of you.
