    Larry actually asked Dave if he was enjoying himself. I get the impression that no one enjoys life more than Dave. Every time he cracked a joke he laughs louder than anyone. Dave is the kind of guy that would be a blast to hang out with at a bar or something but I have no doubt his over the top personality would get old after a while.
    I remember growing up in the 80's every girl wanted to be with Dave and most guys wanted to be Dave. If you were between the ages of 11 and 16 in the early 80's chances are you sang in front of a mirror to Van Halen thinking you were Dave. He was perhaps the most charasmatic rock singer ever. He may not have had the greatest voice in the business, not that it was bad, but his charisma is what made him a legend. Eddie and Dave were opposites in personality but what a magical combination they were. The entire band was amazing.

      If you haven't seen the Joe Rogan two and a half hour interview you gotta watch it. I used to dismiss Dave as just another typical rock star douche bag, but the guy is actually, no apologies brilliant and naturally sharp. There is no rock star that's done the things he's done so far in his life let alone a mere mortal.

      @@maskof it's actually 3 hours long and I was not bored for a minute of it. He's truly one of the most amazing beings I've ever known of. So many facets, not at all interested in the rock n roll fast cars, women, drugs lifestyle (well, maybe the 80's but didn't really bring it up in the interview) Rides his bike everywhere, rock climbs, martial artist, EMT for 5 years in NYC, owns a tattoo ink company. Full of ideas, interests and life. Unbelievably intelligent and a great conversationalist

    Definitely one of the more intelligent guys in R & R, as well as being one of, if not the best front man to hit the stage. But even better than that is, he's probably a great guy to have a cup of coffee and just kick back with.
