    Dave was/is the best. God when this aired I was 17, me and all my buddies rocked out to VH all through high school and we partied the whole time. I graduated in '85. It was 4 years of decadence before I had to clean up and get a little serious. Diamond Dave inspired many a high school boy to be a man and have some fun. The 80's were incredible to say the least. I miss it but the memories are incredible. I wish i could do it all over again. 😃👍🎈

    I find DLR fascinating…his appearances on Joe Rogan’s podcast (who I’m not particularly a fan of) are quite interesting and extremely entertaining. He occasionally sets aside the “Diamond Dave” shtick and talks about real life, but those moments are few and far between.
    He’s just one of those guys who became his public persona and now refuses to turn it off. I wonder if it’s even possible to know the real Dave.

    Brush with greatness: I once made David Lee Roth jump. Around 1988, he was coming out of a nightclub with a hot chick in a skimpy red dress. They were speed walking with their heads down to avoid being recognized. DLR was about to run into me then he lifted his body and jumped back to avoid the collision. We were face to face about 2" apart. I didn't recognize him until he backed off. Before I could say his name, they ran across the street, jumped into a red convertible sports car then drove off.

    David Lee Roth (Bloomington, Indiana, 10 de octubre de 1954) es un cantante estadounidense de hard rock. Es reconocido especialmente por haber sido el vocalista original de la renombrada banda estadounidense Van Halen, primero durante el período 1974-1985 y, varios años más tarde, desde 2007 hasta la disolución del grupo en 2020 tras el fallecimiento de su guitarrista, Eddie Van Halen. Entre tanto, se lanzó a una carrera en solitario que si bien cosechó bastantes éxitos en la década de los 80, no le valió la misma fama y atención que su tiempo en Van Halen. También es conocido por los pseudónimos "Diamond Dave" y "El Roth".

    Even back, then, he still had that same laugh, but he didn’t do it as long in his later interviews. He does that last more often and it last longer and he seems much more ego driven. I prefer him and his older interviews, he’s funny.

    At this time and point Dave was talking about making an album but by April 1st 1985 Dave said it was over and was trying to make a movie so in August Eddie let the world know Van Halen let Dave go and in September Eddie jammed with Sammy during Farm Aid. Man I was 21 in October of that year and life was good. I saw Van Halen with Dave and with Sammy. I really thought Dave's Eat em and Smile band would become huge but they didn't. They were big but not as big as Van Halen.

Just like i like metallica and megadeth both van halens were awesome for me. R.i.p EVH. love dave in interviews, he definitely knows how to hold your attention.

    now we know what he meant by being a "little wiener" for 1 more year. He meant he was staying with VanHalen for 1 more year then he was going to do his own thing and be a "hot dog"
