This is an episode of Cover Story a USA Network program from 1986 featuring David Lee Roth. I don't own any of this content. Quality isn't the best. But Enjoy
Thank god I was a teenager in the 80's...life was so much more colourful...Rock artists like Diamond Dave are very special, no wonder generations wish the 80's would come back. Thank you for the laughs and Rock n Roll Mr Roth. ❤
Thank God I met a girl that wanted to move to Southern California - in the late 70's and got to Promote Concerts and Play in Rock Groups - Still Rocking !
I miss it so back I grieve its’ loss like it was heartbreaking death of the love of my life. Truly the best yrs of my life…oh, what I’d give 2b even HALF that happy again now.🥰👍🙋♀️👋💕
@mrmaxaxl ignore these knobheads in government. Just do what you want. Even during '''covid''' I chose to change nothing. Im still alive. Still to meet a single unvaxxed who regrets not having it.
A couple bandmates and I were at the bar in the front of The Troubadour, and in walks Dave with Steve Vai, and they sit down at the table, and the five of us drank and BS’d for a long while. This was before Steve had been announced as Dave’s guitarist. Dave was just as you’d think he was, very Dave, and so cool to include my friends and I. I was not only a VH fan but had been going through a serious Frank Zappa phase and was intimately aware of Steve - his EP’s were on constant repeat for me. I soon sized up that night that Steve Vai was going to be Dave’s new guitarist. That first Eat em And Smile tour was fantastic. I met Dave a couple of other times, but that was the best.
89-95: greatest yrs/happiest time of my life. 96: Yr the internet introduced 2 the world. Interesting how 95 was the end of my carefree, anxiety-free days full of fun/laughter/hopeful-vs worried/fearful/helpless & overwhelmed -days when I couldn’t WAIT 2 get outta bed & seize the day….so excited 4 the future. And 96 was the start of the internet. The beginning of the “age of technology.”…& the sad, downward spiral to where we r now…& thus my horror 2 deal with the reality: if this is where we r now, & it just gets worse, how could I feel any different? I almost am sorry I remember so vividly how amazing, beautiful, & close to “perfect” life was, & how happy I was, in 80s & most of 90s.
@@noxcorvus93 hey there, fellow VH/DLR fan. Just curious 2 see if u were responding only 2 orig post (as I did w/ my reply), or mine? I won’t be too hurt if my reply had zero 2 w/ yours, & I ‘ll still be your new YT friend ,& glad we both share a love/appreciation of Diamond Dave & the boys, & 4 the good old days of the 80s.. & the fact that VH was prob a big part of why we (& many others who feel like we do) miss its’ magic & still ache 4 life 2 b that beautiful again. AnyHoo, best wishes & thanks 4 listening! Please Take good care of yourself.🙋♀️👋👍🤘🎸💕
@Angel4animals sorry I deleted the tag but yes I was replying to you. Huge Van Halen fan, only got to see DLR on the Skyscraper tour. Here in Australia we rarely got big names back then. I remember reading my Creem, Kerrang metal magazines, buying cassettes every Friday, and I was willing VH to tour, but they didn't. However I must say that I saw a lot of great concerts from my 1st in' 80 KISS as a 12 year old, set me up for a few decades of fun. Great memories. Thanks for your lovely comment and I wish you well, happy to be your fren 😊 Rock on 🤘 ❤️
I love David Lee--his personality, his charisma, his intelligence. I never tire of listening to him. He's not bad to look at either. Older Dave looks damn good too!!! I;'d still do him!!!
If you’ve got one of the greatest frontmen and one of the greatest guitarists eventually you’re going to have problems...extreme talent rarely wants to take a back seat.
Agree. I had their '78 album, the band break up became issues & egos & DLR's biggest career mistake. He never made it solo. VH was the best as the original foursome. They don't see the combination as perfection.
I always wondered why he left Van Halen. I can see why he felt he had move on. This guy has got some energy!! I like it that he did not go out and talk bad about Van Halen; however Van Halen did talk trash bout Dave. He's a classy man!!
He had a 1 picture deal. He struck it himself. He wanted Eddie to score the movie. Then they'd go into the studio in 86. Not only did Ed refuse everything, he demanded Dave not make the movie. Of course the studio went under that summer and the movie never got made. So Dave left VH for NOTHING. In hindsight.
His solo album? You know he made like 6 solo albums right? Well he didn’t make 6 albums, his “Solo” albums consisted of a ton of different writers. I don’t think he has one song on his solo stuff that he wrote entirely by himself. Some of the albums it’s kinda pathetic how many songwriters there are like “a little ain’t enough” album the amount of writers on each song is crazy there are songs with 4 and 5 writers on that album. It really defeats the purpose of a solo album having so many people writing for the artist. IMO if ur a solo artist it should mean that your so talented that you don’t need a band other then touring. Having a bunch of writers is what all the top 40 artists do. When Roth went solo it was no different then the Backstreet Boys or Britney Spears.
@peanutbutterisfu I think it has to do with the fact that he didn't have his music collaboration partner that he had with Eddie Van Halen, and that he could write anything to Eddie's music, and then it becomes a song, in order to continue doing that and putting out music in a timely fashion you have to have people that you know can get it done, he didn't know how Steve Vai or Billy Sheehan were gonna be in writing music
I turned 61 this summer and am getting lost in days gone by, ya know how it goes. David Lee Roth figured predominantly in my coming of age times and I couldn't be happier to have been there, then. Oh ya. Mama feels young again today, you betcha.
I got to say this. I love Dave and I think he is great. Although I got to give huge props to Pete Angelus. Back in the early DLR solo days when Pete and Dave worked together magic happened. Personally, I feel like all of the music videos they did together was better than after Pete left. Plus, I still feel like we missed something special when the Crazy From The Heat movie got cancelled.
Yeah ive watched many its OK he does a lot of Rambling, I was always hoping for him to talk about what VH was doing. from 2012 - 2018 it was 6 years NOW its coming up to 8 Years & NO new music. I know just recently it was announced VH is DONE. Dave left again because of the 2 idiots who were too Lazy to do another Album.
That's why Dave left Van Halen, honestly he wanted to be a movie star they were supposed to make a version of Crazy from the Heat no BS but it made no sense so it was cancelled and was never made into a full length film. Eat em and Smile was incredible though. Saw that tour with Cinderella opening in 1986 it was incredible, way better than Van Hagar 5150 tour, I saw both.
Dave didn't leave VH because scheduling. He left because of control reasons. 5150 came out around the same time as Eat em and Smile. DLR and Ted didn't like Eddie building 5150 and keyboards.
@@vonharvell5867 Yes. You're correct. Looked at my ticket stub. Have my Styx ticket stub from 1978 even. Was 13. My Dad wanted to go, so I went. Myself I would've rather have went to Van Halen.
@@t.sewell1513 I dropped them like a hot potato after Dave ! IMHO Eddie Van Halen was musically dead after 1984 without Dave ! I bought ADKOT but they totally butchered it in the mixing with way way way too much compression ! They should have hired Ted Templeman and Donn Landee. They know what they're doing !
I have no knowledge of Ballet but I remember at the time seeing in some of these 1980s videos he is doing an extraordinary move with his feet which I believe is known as a type of "Plie" which would be practically impossible for any of us mere mortals to do...If any Ballet dancers read this and can explain further I would be interested to hear more about that move or a good link where I can see it being done in slow-motion--it is too fast to study otherwise!!
Yes, the mid to late 80's was the turning point in Rock from a fun party vibe, to a darker more angst inspired one. This paved the way for Grunge to take root in the 90's and would be (along with Gangsta Rap) the death nail in the coffin of bands like the DLR band. I don't for a minute think Dave foresaw any of that about to happen in 1985 when he decided to split with Van Halen.
@@suprb6970 that wouldve been so good.i went t see axl and his band in 2002 in vancouver there was a riot and no show.promoters cancelled for no reason fuckin idiots axl was on a plane n the way to the show
I remember at about this time watching interviews with Motley Crue and thinking how much they were just inferior unintelligent versions of the real DD.
When this came out I forgot all about Vanhager. It was great! They ended up treating Sammy like shit too. Hell the band I was in at the time was playing Yankee Rose! I was banging that shit out!
I love that railroad stoker cap he`s wearing,it reminds me of watching Casey Jones on TV on Saturday mornings.. Stop, look, listen ’cos you’re gonna hear A brand new story ’bout a great engineer, He’s the greatest of them all we claim Number one’s his engine, Casey Jones his name. Casey Jones a steamin’ and a rollin’, Casey Jones you never have to guess When you hear the tootin’ of the whistle It’s Casey at the throttle of the Cannonball Express! There’ll be Casey Junior and old Redrock too, Fireman Wally and the rest of the crew. In a thrilling adventure that’s a lot of fun When Casey takes the throttle for another run!
I really love DD but I really wish he hadn`t started wearing those clownish clothes like in the Yankee Rose video here...He could get away with just about anything but that was a step too far and then we got poodle twits like Poison and Warrant copying it and looking even worse because they didn`t even have DDs talent and athleticism and charisma to back it up.
...his videos are real well done...and he directed all of VH's too....everything is very precise....very hard working guy.....and he sang Atomic Punk!....
good to hear an old school voice in this digital world, knowing Dave's love of Cuban music wanted to share this on the thread czcams.com/video/3-0Nv1XaDcI/video.html , know he probably won't see it, but man this shit blew my mind freaking Cuban sounds gone rock x 10!
Roths colossal mistake was he left VH too early. He should've finished out the 80s in Van Halen. Made two more records with them. THEN go solo, form a new band on 1-1-1990...
Dave is an encyclopedia of pop references make him a genius. Combine that with playing with incredible talent like EVH and Steve Vai was the recipe for killer music in the 70-80s. Sadly now children don’t get true talent as a influence it’s the internet insta celebrity crap that they aspire for. It’s sad.
7 albums with VH and two multi platinum solo albums and one gold ….outsold Sammy solo and his VH albums outsold Sammy also not even close ….All of Sammys sold well for a week or two and reached number 1 but overall sales are a bit more than half the total of DLR era
Hearing him mention $15 dollar tickets! Imagine. These days it would be over 100 - despite the subtle digs at van halen they had a number one album with 5150 so I don’t know what they mean by not moving forward!? Lol 😂

Roth does a good interview, nobody can deny that.
He is the interview. Did you hear anyone interviewing him ?
"I expect it's good work if you can get it"... love this guy, never saw anyone so charismatic. Love him or hate him, you watch him.
Very true!
David Lee Roth is a genius. Leaves Van Halen and gets Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan.
Don't sleep on Greg Bissonette. 🥁
And never did anything afterwards. Doesn't even play the songs off that album. What a joke 😂
And what have you EVER done? That’s right; NOTHING! Nada. Zip. Zilch.

“It’s the roaring 80’s man”...yes it was! He knew!
Still my favorite singer. Love his music; voice and personality.
Me too. Always have loved Dave.
Todays bands will never have Frontmen like Dave..different times!
Being a teenager in the 80s. What fun. Seems a different world away from now. 🤘

He's truly enjoying the moment as they say, Hey I'd do it too if given the chance? Right on DLR for living out the dream for all of us!!
every time I hear DLR talk I gain more respect for him. he gives people exactly what they say they want and then they hate him for it.
Don't give people what they want, better give them what they don't know they want.
Incredible life of an incredible person. Love all aspects of the individual and the gig.
Imagine what David Lee Roth would be like after a few cans of Red Bull.
something a bit like this czcams.com/video/YacNgIzymAw/video.html ?

Has anyone listened to his latest interviews? His accent is so different now. It's a very pronounced midwestern accent. I just wonder why it changed.
I think it is from years of radio broadcasting. Just picked it up.
I want a Van, Halen and David Lee Roth concert from 1979 to 1988. The most expensive ticket was $18. Crazy what do you think of today’s concert cost
I love that railroad stoker cap he`s wearing,it reminds me of watching Casey Jones on TV on Saturday mornings.. Stop, look, listen ’cos you’re gonna hear
A brand new story ’bout a great engineer,
He’s the greatest of them all we claim
Number one’s his engine, Casey Jones his name.
Casey Jones a steamin’ and a rollin’,
Casey Jones you never have to guess
When you hear the tootin’ of the whistle
It’s Casey at the throttle of the Cannonball Express!
There’ll be Casey Junior and old Redrock too,
Fireman Wally and the rest of the crew.
In a thrilling adventure that’s a lot of fun
When Casey takes the throttle for another run!
One thing is bullshit. Dave wasn't waiting around too long for VH.
1984 was released and Dave split about 8 months later.

good to hear an old school voice in this digital world, knowing Dave's love of Cuban music wanted to share this on the thread czcams.com/video/3-0Nv1XaDcI/video.html , know he probably won't see it, but man this shit blew my mind freaking Cuban sounds gone rock x 10!
Ugh,that was terrible.
@@mjh5437 i Dunno I think he's amazing but everyone got their vibe, you don't have to like this amazing musical genius, not everyone like mozart
Roths colossal mistake was he left VH too early. He should've finished out the 80s in Van Halen. Made two more records with them. THEN go solo, form a new band on 1-1-1990...
DLR's schtick grew old really fast post VH.
His schtick got him more ass than about 100 average men combined.
@@jeffm3925 you're welcome!
Dave is an encyclopedia of pop references make him a genius. Combine that with playing with incredible talent like EVH and Steve Vai was the recipe for killer music in the 70-80s. Sadly now children don’t get true talent as a influence it’s the internet insta celebrity crap that they aspire for. It’s sad.
@@iceWaterProductions1 hittin’ the nail on the head!
VH didn’t do SH!t after the 80s either. Imho

Look@dat beastie boys shirt.
Big mistake Dave made leaving VH then.
9:55 is it really Boy George? Cameo Appearance?
No
A one album wonder. Wonder what ever happened to him after that one album.
Dave has more than on hit album and he's still around. We still love him!!!
Hmmm. 6 albums with Van Halen and 3 commercially succussful solo albums that would be a 9 album wonder and most bands never make it to 1 album
7 albums with VH and two multi platinum solo albums and one gold ….outsold Sammy solo and his VH albums outsold Sammy also not even close ….All of Sammys sold well for a week or two and reached number 1 but overall sales are a bit more than half the total of DLR era
Hearing him mention $15 dollar tickets! Imagine. These days it would be over 100 - despite the subtle digs at van halen they had a number one album with 5150 so I don’t know what they mean by not moving forward!? Lol 😂
