Dave's worst solo album

**Bigdaddy_14** · 08.03.01, 11:48 PM

What do you guys think? I personally would say DLR Band.

BTW...I have always wondered...What is the deal with Crazy From the Heat, why only four songs, mostly covers? Was Dave just doing this as a marketing tool while he was looking for a band?

Not counting CFTH (an EP), I would have to say Your Filthy Little Mouth. Compared to all of his other solo work it's not as good.

Crazy from tha heat?..sunstroke probably.
He's been trying to get back in the band ever since....
Dave said at the time when asked that very question:
"Why only 4 songs"
DLR's reply....

"Well most of your favourite albums only have 2 maybe 3 good songs on it..4 at best,the rest is usually bullshit.
So what I did was I eliminated the Bullshit and sold it to 'ya for less.. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/devil.gif[/img]

Warner/Reprise has made it difficult for me to get Your Filthy Little Mouth, so I can't judge that. Out of the others, my least favourite is DLR Band, though it's still growing on me.

If you're not including EPs, YFLM is my pick for worst solo album.

DLR was still in VH when he did the CFTH EP, I think its fair to say he was testing the water for a solo career.

Either DLR Band or Your Filthy Little Mouth.

**Unchained Wolfie** · 08.04.01, 02:05 PM

I have never hear YFLM, but I have heard all the others, and DLR Band is the worst out of all of them.

**MikeL** · 08.04.01, 04:14 PM

If I had to buy them all over again, DLR Band would be the very last one in the cart.

CFTH was supposed to be just a little side project until Eddie pulled his face from the toilet long enough to record some music. Those were tunes Dave never envisioned doing with VH, and he never thought that EP would sell like it did either.

i never really got into YFLM, but i'm gonna have to listen to it more. i haven't heard DLR band in full yet. ahven't found it in stores or anything lately.

**79th and Sunset** · 08.04.01, 05:49 PM

I could never pick because each of his solo efforts have good and bad on them.

I might be in a minority here, but YFLM is one of my favs. Certainly the song is killer. Guitar work was excellent. IMO !

**WhoHalen** · 08.04.01, 08:02 PM

My pick is definitely DLR band. I dunno, it just didn't hit me the right way. The tour totally rocked though...

You really believe that?!!!?

**MikeL** · 08.05.01, 10:48 AM

Yup. Eddie was on the physically unable to perform list during those days.

**Cabo Kid** · 08.05.01, 10:57 AM

I'd definitely say YFLM is his worst solo effort...and "effort" is a stretch here. This one sounds like Dave was trying to gear up for the "Vegas Variety Hour", but he forgot to toss in a little substance with the sizzle. I think he even forgot the sizzle...it was more like a simmer. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

BTW, if you're having trouble finding solo DLR cd's, I'd suggest checking out your local used CD shop or E-bay. I'd bet you can strike gold without having to pay a whole lot for it.
