I love that Dave loves his dog. The true character of a person reveals itself in subtle ways. EDIT: Damn, I just read that Russ passed away. So sorry Dave. I know the pain brother.
Great video and song! Thanks for thinking about the people in Kentucky. I didn't know that your Russ had passed away. I'm very sorry for your loss. I love how you are facing getting older on your own terms! Keep on living man!😎
Little else would make me as happy as spending an afternoon sitting in plastic chairs with Dave, talking about interesting things, laughing, maybe shed a tear or two, and just being in the same physical space for a little while.
How cool and to see his dog in this one I feel sad for Dave losing his dog I feel that dog was probably Dave’s best friend. Prayers for all those affected by the Tornadoes of Kentucky and RIP for the family member’s lost.😢
Last night where I work, (washing dishes) I played DLRs Eat 'Em and Smile, then stuff off Skyscraper.. .. Damn Good off a Little Aint Enough.. Then Women and Children First.. I wash dishes b c I have to make money and Im a guitarist over 50 years. I play with my heart, my fingers and am the grandchild and son of jazz musicians.. I carry this in my heart every day, and I am grateful also be the child of Van Halens impact in the musical art world. Never Quit♥.. Russ, I never met you and petted you, shared a snack with you, and I know the good you gave Dave means the world to him, just like my own long gone animal familiars. Dave thanks for raising the Kentucky hurricanes.. - Darrel
Every song Dave releases from these John 5 sessions are amazing too me.. different vibes on each ..I'm okay with this way of doing it ..a new song every few months..
I've got two of those chairs myself! Love videos of you and Russ! A nice, mellow song and I enjoyed listening. Prayers for victims of the Kentucky tornadoes. I enjoy your posts, Dave! 😉
Dave ... Beautiful song and lovely vid .So so sorry to hear of your loss . A man and his dog ,what can i say .Thankyou for everything man . Stay safe and lots of love xx
Thank you Dave for that wonderful song. I am so sorry for your loss. It’s never easy saying goodbye to our four-legged friends… His last few songs looks like he is taking a deep introspective look at his life in detail. With the departure of Eddie, he seems like he’s giving us all a wink and a nod to his fans saying, “Thanks for dropping in and listening to our music. We hopped you enjoyed it.” We certainly did Dave. From the bottom of my heart thank you for everything you did for me.”
authenticity, from song to the break point of the chair, goes with a bang when that happens - then duct tape, there is so much to ponder.. thx & Cheers!
Awesome..someone told me once the best thing you can do is become a people watcher and just kick back...it's true...really really really love the song David
God bless America and David Lee Roth, he is the best frontman in the music history and personally, I think he is one of the best singers of rock and roll.
Hi Dave. I woke up this morning thinking about you. Now I know why. You were about to release this song. It is great to see you again. I hope you are well. Thank you for thinking of others during this time. I will be thinking of you as you perform your last Vegas shows. You are an American treasure. I care for you and love you deeply.
You're amazing Dave Roth I've been writing songs almost as long as you have so I can really appreciate the Genius in many of your choices here and I absolutely love this song. You were my childhood in so many ways music wise and beyond as you dominated the air waves, revolutionized the music and video business all while bringing the best frontman and entertainer, coolness and charm to us. . 70s was Plant 80s and on was VH because nothing else came close. Then as if that wasn't enough you brought us Eat 'Em and Smile which was a few steps beyond VH even. You are the master, VH was 1/2 Roth plus 1/2 Ed along with a dash of Alex and Michael. Those boys were nowhere without you man !!! Love ya bro, love this song and I pray you are alright, I've been worried for you ever since your retirement video, stay with us Dave we need you ...
Is it just me or do you feel Diamond Dave is now the James Taylor of classic rock? It's nice to see the gentle progression of a long career mature into new incarnations...
God bless the one and only incomparable David Lee Roth best rock and roll frontman in the history of rock and roll there was only one and he DLR was it. He and he alone did it best. Showman extraordinaire!even the way he got his girls out of the crowd. ❤️✝️🙏🏻🎸🇺🇸
Ma boy Dave is still telling the truth just not groupies and spandex any more I’m getting the vibe our boy has made his peace with this fucked up world we live in and ready to reboot in the next
👍💖 Wonderful,Heartfelt, - a fitting way to show empathy for those who lost so much in the Kentucky disaster... & also to express affection for & sadness at losing a Beloved Friend & Companion 🐶💔💖 - These are sides of Dave I think we glimpsed some ⏳time ago..that only a few see.Our Best to Him!!💖💖💖
Thanks Dave you and van halen changed my life as a dysfunctional kid, inspired me to be invulnerable and successful ,love the last photo of you with russ ,.R.I.P RUSS
If you know you know! I will always love David Lee Roth for the 4 best rock n roll albums ever made and his wit, wisdom and wise assed philosophical tangents!
I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your entire catalogue of work! I've been a fan of yours my whole life , your very relented, and a legend ! Thank you for the amazing work you've shared with us!
Russ Roth... RIP. I can only imagine the crazy colorful words you've heard over the years. Love ya Dave! Keep shakin' and shimmyin' 'cross the burger shop floor! Thank you for all the amazing tunes! #DavidLeeRoth
What an amazing life you’ve lead DLR! To be so lucky to have worked so hard and done so well in the music industry (you obviously love so deeply) that you contributed so strongly to its pop culture in so many ways, yet can never be matched in your style or entertainment, alone is phenomenal. But to also be so passionate and stick with the martial arts for so long, such strength and experience in rock climbing, fantastic treks into numerous aboriginal territories, serious artistic skill in drawing and painting, constantly speaking exceptional, entertaining and thought provoking words of wisdom, obvious love and experience with dogs, surprising yet not so surprising paramedic experience, great love for women and so much more most of us have no idea of. It’s a life only most can dream of. Thank you for showing so many of us how amazing life can be if we learn to work and play hard in anything we love and never stop. ❤️
Keep'm coming Dave as the muse hits ya. We still want that John5 DLR BAND 2.0 stuff released my man. But we'll take whatever you're pushing! Keep your toes in the mystical Black Sand!
Thanks for years of celebration and this song is a celebration as well. The other Dave been king said he would sing new songs daily. Hope you sing new songs 🎵 daily as well.....
Dude I think it would honestly make my freaking year if i saw Dave Roth sitting on a one piece thermo molded plastic chair in the road as i cruised by🤣🤣🤣
Nice for Dave to do a piece for the poor folks in this Kentucky Tornado........A Melancholy piece for Dave......LOVELY Dog .....A really BUDDY ...One man and his DOG ...Really sorry to hear he passed away.....I know how loving & lovable animals can be & how much we can miss them. Dave speaks these lyrics from the heart like a real storyteller.
Mr Roth, Mr Diamon Dave... i just want to tell you that i have been a huge fan since back in the 80's and back then i was a teenager and live my life.... my mom however had a crush for you until the day she past away in 2004. Så thank you for a life of memories and a life of music... you will always be my diamond in life!
Hey David I think you really helped me a lot of cuz I love punk rock and I'm very hyperactive like you are those people in New York like punk rock still
I know Dave misses that dog. I'm feeling down, I remember hearing Hank Jr.'s song 'All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down' when I was 15. Now I'm 52 and these times feel like that. Can people get it together to do another big year? Let's go! I got my CDL, I'll drive the truck!
Dave, you jumped off the pages of Circus Magazine, and into my mind, and you never let it go. (my first VH show ---Buffalo NY Aud. 1981 w/ opening band, G-Force) Mere thanks aren't enough, so here, have a Glazed donut, to go🍩
![The Roth Show: Episode 3: One Piece Thermo-Molded Country Plastic Chair [David Lee Roth]](/img/n.gif)
Dave's a good dude, RIP Russ you lived a good life with your Dad
You can tell that’s a special chair when it’s being held together with duct tape instead of simply replaced with a new one. Thank you, Dave.
Dropped, chopped in Alabama chrome
Absolutely love when “the best frontman in the history Rock’n’Roll “ posts these authentic songs he writes!🥰
Yes! Yes! No doubt!
Anyone know where Diamond Dave is?
I love that Dave loves his dog. The true character of a person reveals itself in subtle ways.
EDIT: Damn, I just read that Russ passed away. So sorry Dave. I know the pain brother.
yes.
Great video and song! Thanks for thinking about the people in Kentucky. I didn't know that your Russ had passed away. I'm very sorry for your loss. I love how you are facing getting older on your own terms! Keep on living man!😎
Little else would make me as happy as spending an afternoon sitting in plastic chairs with Dave, talking about interesting things, laughing, maybe shed a tear or two, and just being in the same physical space for a little while.
Dave often talks of blasting VH in car cruising. See you have a C3, perfect. Pull off tops or top down and play some VH.
Love Ya, Dave. Nice to see ya still making music.
So sorry about losing Russ,Dave. That's a heartbreak I've recently felt myself. God bless you Dave; you're an irreplaceable legend
Love this! Very soothing to me. David Lee with Van Halen was my first concert back in 1982. He will always be my favorite frontman
I don't want to be in a world where DLR doesn't exist...
Me too
Hard to believe that we’re living in a world without Edward
Those guys are gods.
Their contributions lives on and they will never be forgotten.❤️
How cool and to see his dog in this one I feel sad for Dave losing his dog I feel that dog was probably Dave’s best friend. Prayers for all those affected by the Tornadoes of Kentucky and RIP for the family member’s lost.😢
His dog died?
Hey Dave, please keep doing music. I am big fan of you since the late 80s.
I love the song. I started to tear up over here. Keep making sweet and beautiful music.
Such a simple comforting message. That's the way! This plastic chair can move hearts. Thank you Dave👊🏻🎵🎙❤
Dave. Thanks for the years of good music. Merry Christmas

NAILED IT, couldn’t have said it any better, long live The Mighty Van Halen with DLR of course !!!
“was” being the key word. Fun while it lasted anyway.
Yes, yes, VH, but he's still around, let's appreciate what he does now as well. He's a pretty cool guy
No gods.
Dog and me love this. Gratitude for another musical gift, Dave.
This is beautiful. I love black and white motion pictures. Keep going Mr. Roth !
