One more here and that'll do it for my old stuff on tape. I assume most of the veterans around here have this one or have seen it numerous times but it may be new to a lot of the newbies.

This is Dave sitting down with Martha Quinn in the interview where so many of his notable quotes come from. And please, don't ask who Martha Quinn is.....I already feel old enough watching this shit.

Thanks for the clip, Double Down!

That was the closest I've ever seen DLR came to acting "down to earth"

Always remember, that it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, so long as you look good while doing it!

very telling at the time of what must've been going on with the band when he talks about the future of vh...

One thing I wonder about is when he's asked about the future of Van Halen. His answer is, "a lot depends on what happens with this tour and this record." Well, the tour and album couldn't possibly have been a bigger success.

So does that mean he was waiting to see how big it would be because that would determine if he tried something on his own? Did he know during this interview that he was planning on trying something new (solo record, movie career) and/or possibly leaving the band?

My guess is (knowing his ego), that he was itching to gain ALL of the spotlight and he did indeed know he was looking to break out on his own. Of course, at the time of this interview I would have never thought that could happen but in hindsight it almost seems blatantly obvious. Anyone agree?
