Dave was nailing Apollonia in her prime. Lucky man.
LOL right?
Diamond Dave a goodamn pimp
Dave still lives in that big mansion in Pasadena, but in 1984, it still belonged to his Father. So Dave still lived at home. Thats why she said, '...his room.'
I'm an eighties kid, everyone knew Van Halen and Apollonia & Prince, I had friend who were huge fans, but I never knew about this DLR/Apollonia thing. Great story.
Don't care who you are but no one jumps around on stage like David Lee Roth❤👍🏻
He was the poster boy for the ultimate rock star & yes, he sure could jump.
Watched him from the rail on the diver down tour and his footwork and dance timing blew my mind!
Who cares that his voice basically sucked, as long as he can jump around and tell the same rehearsed jokes every night of the tour....lol
@@pulsarlights2825 he admitted in an interview once, he can't sing but screams well. 😆😆 I think he has a great voice for rock with tremendous showmanship.
@@jdrosy4414 Ted Templeman was a magician to make Roth sound decent in the studio, but I don't think I ever heard a live performance of Roth that was good...is that why VH never released a live album with Roth?
DLR is a thinking man, he may be flamboyant, but he is classy enough to not kiss and tell. This is why he is a true ladies man. Most celebs today, cannot resist bragging about their 'conquests.'
I remember back in the day someone asked him about dating and he said something to the effect that he pretty much leaves everything he has out on stage, so he really didn't have an interest in "continuing the show" after he got off it.
First I've heard that he and Apollonia were an item. Interesting.
Maybe he didn't kiss and tell but I'll still never see him as a classy guy. He's a narcissist and definitely left some bad blood with Van Halen at the time. He's also an asshole for what he did to Beck at the MTV awards. He had no reason to attack Beck other than he was jealous that he wasn't the center of attention anymore and Beck was getting an award and he wasn't.
@Anderson Coopertakes one to know one I guess 😆
Right!
Beck sucks
Apollonia gives such an interesting and down to earth interview.
The man Dave taking care of business and working overtime!!! 😂
She got to be a part of rock history with prince and VH. Lucky lady indeed!
So all this time DLR was the one purifying himself in the Waters of Lake Mintaka!!! 😮
😂🤣
Yup, only he didn’t realize it wasn’t lake Minnetonka
😆😆😆😆
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
This bores me, do you want to play some basketball? 🤘
Roth has never said anything about any of the women he’s been with. He’s very private about that stuff. There also aren’t very many women who have something bad to say about him. No horror stories about being treated like garbage.
DLR, and Prince, had set live performance standards in the 80s that I have yet to see anyone else surpass.
Truth
Absolutely
i saw VH spring of 84 and prince the same year both here in detroit. i also saw New Edition in detroit both shows and i gotta say, NE is right up there with them
DLR was an awful live performer
You obviously didn't see Guns N Roses
He called her Sugar bc he called em ALL Sugar😆
Booger Sugar Maybe! That's What he was Thinkin Bout
Booger sugar...😂😂😂❤
Truly bad ass rock stars always chose drugs over women 😂
That's exactly right, I can verify that.😊
First I've heard of this. David Lee Roth..... Get down with your bad self! Got him some apple pie! 😎
They would have made beautiful babies...
😆😆😆
@@bettyb1313 ....with cheekbones for YEARS
DLR always had access to the hottest women
Prince: "who's this?" *air kick*
Me: "Jim Dandy"
DLR:s look with VH was very much taken from Jim Dandy Mangrum. The long blonde hair parted in the middle, open shirts, the tight white pants and flat boots. And he was all over the stage. Black Oak was a great live band. Roth had to have seen him in the pages of Circus and other rock mags. The girls, including my sister, loved Jim Dandy.
@@TheBent139 Roth actually approached Mr.Dandy and asked if he could video him preforming.Dandy was flattered and said yes.But keep it real people don’t act like Dave’s a clone not even close!!!!!
@@earachemyeye1751 Oh hell no. DLR is a clone of no one. But he took some some cues from Jim Dandy. Never said it was a bad idea.
Yeah Dave's not a Jim Dandy clone. Duh,Jim can actually sing.
@@careful__Icarus Roth had a decent voice early on. He trashed his voice within a couple years. Always a great entertainer though.
VH (Roth) and Prince dont need to be disected against each other. Appreciate them for what they are. Growing up the big debate was the Beatles or the Stones. Like they were mutually exclusive. Loved them both.
I wish VH and Price would have collaborated on something more than poontang!!! I think it would have been fantastic!!!
Or in my case I Didn’t love the Beatles or the Stones…Lol

Diamond Dave is the man
Van Halen and Prince are my two favorite musical acts so this story makes me happy.
Same here. My musical DNA is purely VH and Prince.
They're 2 of my Big 4 musicians/artists of all time.
Same here but with Sammy fronting VH :)
She looks like she is about to audition for judas priest
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao
🤣
I agree. I've never seen cheeks so proud and swollen. Oh, you meant the outfit.
😆
Sunset 🌇 Sound🥰 So Proud to be a Block Away from your Studio!
No way!?
"How did you end it with Dave?" She dodged the question. Translation; He stopped calling her. He had 50 women he was seeing, she was one of them.
Loved this interview with Apples. I'm thinking about her book already dam! 🕊💜💜
DLR gave MJ the ideal for the one white glove at the Grammys. Dave’s a trend setter.
Nah.
Really? DLR is so cool.
MJ had two white gloves on ,and Dave said “No one wears just one glove “,Mike thought it was a good ideal.
@@boardtrackbmx1109 That was a joke story Roth told dude, it’s not true.
DLR to girl front row concert. "What is your name sweet thing? Trouble? Looks like I am going to get in some trouble tonight."

What a great story! It's so cool of Prince, and what a wonderful story!!!

Such a great show!!! Drew Rocks!
DLR is one of if not the best frontman ever! Nobody could sing or scream like him other than Robert Plant.
And no one could duplicate his moves.
Not all of them anyway.
Steven Tyler had a pretty unique voice too.
You forgot the greatest frontman of all-time: Freddie Mercury
Her face is pulled so tight she’s having a hard time talking.
There's no way her face is pulled tight...she has big laugh lines which is common with age...I have them. The reason she has some difficulty speaking is most likely caused by her nervousness and possibly a bit of dry mouth and whatever dental work she may have had. I don't even think Apollonia has any fillers in her face. I think she's just doing her best to age gracefully...and she's pulling it off.
I think its her loose dentures. If you listen closely you can hear them click when she talks
@@jipfluffy2143 Hey, "Jip Fluffy"...where's YOUR pic?!!
Great interview.
Prince was doing the mid air splits like Dave in the music video babe why you wanna treat me so bad. And that was recorded in 79
Plenty of people have talked about Roth doing acrobatics like the mid air splits and other feats as far back as the mid 70's at backyard parties in the L.A. area when VH were playing before they ever got signed, and VH's first album came out in 1978. So it's pretty common knowledge in the L.A. area, and I lived there for well over 15 years and ran in musical circles, that Roth was doing this years before their debut album in 78'. It's one of the main reasons they got signed. VH, and in particular Roth, were blowing people away with their stage presence. David Lee Roth's influence on frontmen during his era was incalculable. The ENTIRE decade of the 80's was more or less one rock frontman after another trying, and failing, to be like David Lee Roth. I would watch videos on MTV and inevitably you'd see it. I would often think to myself when watching these other guys in videos "yep, trying to be like David Lee Roth". Prince was obviously very talented, but that doesn't mean he was the originator of everything he played or performed. He wasn't.
Dave was doing it long before 79' so Prince still came later with that date. Prince was influenced by Dave, it's clear.
@@KingDevilCharger You cannot actually say that. It makes no difference at all. All im saying is assuming a little black kid in min knows about a white up and coming rock god in the mid 70s without internet cable etc is a stretch. Van halen I videos did not have any acrobatics from what i have seen. Dave is way way underrated i love Van halen. And sure it is possible prince copied dave. More likely Prince copied someone.
@@totalsavagepunk1240 DLR is a Rock God, one of the best frontmen in the history of rock and roll.
@@KingDevilCharger That is not clear at all. That is your imagination running wild.
Thanks for the video
She was married when she met Prince!
I was in Tijuana drinking with friends and the Lakers were in the Finals so I was wondering what the score was. I saw this white dude there so I go up and ask if he knew the score to the game. He said. The only score I know is to the cocaine game. OK. I went back to my table and here comes his girl. Oh he was just joking he didn't mean that. It was David Lee Roth with Appolonia. True AF story.
Wow!
Great story
Wonder if Apple did any with him🤔
At your age how could you not know you were talking to David Lee Roth?
Love the story
DLR in a menage with Ap and Vanity! NOW, THAT'S a party!
Mmmmmmm.. I’d love to be the meat in that sandwich!!!
Vanity was messing around with Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx as well. At one point, they were engaged.
Please kindly do a separate video of the times Apollonia would talk about Vanity/Denise. And thank you for asking those questions about her encounters with Vanity/Denise. That was an exclusive for the mega-fans of Vanity, Apollonia and Prince. Truly great stuff!
Great stories !
Great story, thanks Apollonia.
The second go around led to hip pain, led to opoids, led to demise?
That would suck...
I am sure it did even Dave has said he had to have back surgeries from jumping
Soo so true
Said it before and I'll say it again. The Showman of Showmanship!🤘💪🎸
What a beautiful woman. Very articulate, intelligent, and amazing lady. Just a rare Jem.
Apollonia perfect name for a finely aged wine.
David Lee Roth must have record numbers
Prince should have worried more about writing up a will for himself than who she was dating.
Now THAT'S funny.
Exactly
Prince didn't care about who she was dating. He had just made the greatest rock movie ever and wanted his co-stars to promote it. Its called business.
Prince was too busy living his life to worry about making plans for dividing up his money after it.
@@onesong2001 And look where that got him and the protracted legal battles for his estate. None of us knows when we're going to go.
@@tc556guy Yeah... Prince was so busy with "business" and "living his life" that he ended up squandering the last quarter-century of his existence.
Used to train clients at a private gym in West Hollywood, and she trained with a friend of mine. Always friendly and sweet and easy to talk to.
That's news - Dave wrote the lyrics on a wall inside his house. So are they still there or painted over?
That would be very interesting to say the least. Maybe we can get some photos?
' Take me with you" will never be the same now
Best song on the album IMO!
I see what you did there
Apollonia has worked with Greg Dulli’s The Afghan Whigs and The Twilight Singers on their music. She has a fantastic voice and she’s a wonderful talented lady.
Noo what happened to her face?! Damn Apollonia, age with grace not with fillers, you dont need that shit. Ive dyed my hair black since I was 14 bc of you, fuck NO if I'd ever go with fillers. Youre still DAMN beautiful and have the same voice and everything. Youre awesome!
Prince was doing the splits before the David Lee Roth impression. Check out the "Red Corvette" video. That's prior to Purple Rain...
Just watched the video. That’s a different kind of spilts. She’s talking about jumping off the piano or drum riser and doing spilts.
@@TheSteveSteele I hope so.
I was about to say this. He also did the splits in the videos for "Dirty Mind" and "Sexuality" before that.
He more likely borrowed those moves from Little Richard and James Brown, although I wouldn't be surprised if DLR lent inspiration to him.
@@nickstadler1906 Roth has been doing the splits in the air since the mid-late 70’s.
Prince and Dave didn’t care for each other… seems like ROCKSTAR shit😂😂😂!!! I love them both, cause they were f*kn AWESOME!!!
They shoulda played one-on-one basketball and winner gets Apollonia and loser gets a stack of cold pancakes 😂😂
Wow I never had any idea she was with DLR
Kinda have the impression that Dave called all the "foxy" ladies in his life "sugar!"
Sugar, is perhaps a common name for all the sweet thangs in his life.
Much Love,
"The Ice Cream Man"
Same here lol
Probably so he wouldn't have to try to remember their names.
@@ericdodson2644 👍😀
I've been a VH fan since 79/80 and I recall when Prince came out in the late 70s and then blew up in the 80s with 1999 and his dancing was not influenced by Roth,he was influenced by James Brown same as Michael Jackson!
That’s not what she claimed.
James Brown is the obvious influence on Prince from hairdo, splits and all around movement... I'm sure the same goes for DLR who was a huge funk/R&B fan with his stage movements and of course a huge bit of DLR stage persona draws from Jim Dandy. Dandy is modest (don't kniw him real well) about it but knows it's true.
@@osiruskat The first time I saw David Lee Roth in Creem Magazine I immediately thought...That guy is exactly like Jim Dandy from Black Oak Arkansas - it was the same look & act. Jim Dandy was always so cool about the fact that he knew that David Roth was totally ripping him off. I knew that he was seeing Appolonia at the time that Purple Rain was in the Theaters & thought it was so cool, but I wasn't surprised (Awesome movie & Soundtrack).
@@osiruskat
DLR does what he does on stage because he is a black belt martial artist. Most of his moves are karate kicks converted to look like a dance move. That splits-thing is just a byproduct of what he can do, easily improvised.
@@johnbeckwith1361 granted that but did you watch the most recent Joe Rogan podcast where he talks about the music he grew up on?
And she still dress like she did in the movie Purple Rain. She still looks amazing.
sure bout that?
@@WindomRettes I take it you haven't seen the movie Purple Rain have you?
WILD! I useta write lyrics and verses on my living room wall in my first house where I recorded a number of albums for my band and others.
She is beautiful
Vanity used to date Nikki six and would stay at his house doing heroine… read heroine diaries.
I'm glad that she finally listened to Prince & broke it off with dave cuz I heard on behind the music VH1 YEARS AGO that Dave was very CONCEITED and that he'd love em and leave em by the tons....
Apollonia you serious! You mean James Brown did not do splits back in the day or was he copying DLR also ... sometimes if you are not sure its best to zip it instead of assuming!
I used to train MMA at her ex-husband Kazja's Kapu Kuialua school in San Pedro in the late 90s. I never knew he was married at one time with her.
My worlds collided in this video.
Does anyone have a receipt on video of Prince doing a 'flying split' in the 70's? Mainly before he signed to Warner Bros where Van Halen was also signed?
Goddddd I wish.
Why you want to treat me so bad? the video clip.
Maybe there isn't video evidence, but Prince grew up watching James Brown and also took ballet lessons.. You think he wasn't practicing that shit in his teen years.. Trust me, he wasn't doing it because DLR. Take anything that Appolonia says with a grain of salt, she was nobody without PR.

Here comes baby jet
In her brand new red-hot pink Humvee
Full of party girls with damaged lives
And tangled destinies

Girl you are crazy with those beautiful high cheekbones and slanted eyes with that smooth dewey and youthful skin you don't realize that all girls that are young between the age of 14 to 27 is at the height of being more beautiful than women that are in their 30s and older, even if they are Marilyn Monroe!

And years later Prince would mess up his hip and get hooked on painkillers. Wonder how much this contributed.
Wearing heels and crushing it for decades on stage will not be kind
That's Apollonia and her drugs talking. I'm sorry but Prince was doing his split long before David Lee Roth had a thought in his head because Prince was copying James Brown and he had been practicing that ever since he been a teenager. You can get out of here with that foolishness. Prince ruined his hips by years of leaping off his giant speakers then landing on the ground in a full split with both legs spreaded way far apart then a pair of scissors where his genitals practically touch the floor. That is what caused him to keep fracturing his hips, that the bones started to give away to breaking and rebreaking and rebreaking over the long periods of years of touring. And then he started to get painful arthritis where the fracturing and rebreaking of bones Cost him his health cause he had to take medications stronger then Motrin. He had to start taking narcotics and that's what started his drugs addictions.
I still have a crush!
Thats where prince got his dlr screams
Your comments are half right, but Prince got his influenced scream whoo! and uhn! from Michael Jackson whom got his grunts, screams, and uhn, from James Brown. Brown copied some of Jackie Wilson's screams, and whoo! and his dance styles like his spins and splits.
I was 11 years old and saw the "Shakin" video by Eddie Money,the rest is history
*the wall has hit Appolonia HARD!!*
@Gerron Marquel -
Yep, but she 61 years of age, she lives in California with all that sun beaming down on her skin, it seems she's had that sh*t injected into her lip area, and she's Hispanic.
It's par for the course, but unlike Prince, she still alive, still kicking, and is not under Prince's estate's confidentiality clause, that he began to force people who worked for him after The Revolution to sign. So she's pretty much free to discuss anything about her time with Prince without fear of a violation of clause, if it's still in affect.
She all tore up
She's beautiful & stunning. People would kill to have her beautiful hair and eyes.

Dave is a Martial Arts Master BIG DIFFERENCE
@Dennis Leavitt oh yeh thanks
He wasn't at the time. And I wouldn't call him a "master". Read their managers book. The rest of the band mocked his "Kung Fu" skills. He did live in Japan for some time though, after VH and his solo career cooled. . Mostly learned Japanese painting and culture and got all tatted up. He is a very interesting guy. But you have to separate his fact from fiction.
@@TheBent139 He studied with Ed Parker. Dave was no joke. I met someone who knew him in the early days = He was into fighting
@@TheBent139 sure the managers book contains no fiction.
Sure it sucks that VH split. But if they wouldnt have, we never would've gotten Crazy From The Heat, (or Eat 'em and Smile) Daves versions of Coconut Grove and Just A Giggolo were masterpieces. And Eat 'em and Smile? Brett Tuggles keyboards on Just Like Paradise. Billy Sheehans bass on Shyboy, Vais solo on Tobacco Road, Daves story-telling lyrics on Big Trouble. Its hands down the rawest, greatest rock album of the late 80's
DRL got himself some shuga!
She's one of the prettiest women from the 80's. Toss up between her and Sheila E.

Dave's been jumping off risers since 79 maybe earlier
@@marchenoecker I think they ment the 1999 era which was in 1982
I hate to be the one to say this Van Halen fans, but Prince was way more musically talented than DLR. David reminded me like a wrestler who was all about showmanship - he was a great fit for Van Halen at the time however. But in terms of pure musical talent between the 2 of them, it isn't even close.
Well, he wrote every lyric and every melody, wrote and directed every video and handled all of the VH art work from day one...and he wrote, produced and was set to direct and star in the movie (along with other members of van halen) "crazy From the heat" which was in pre production before CBS studios went under ..and the next van halen album was to be the soundtrack to it...then vh broke up so then eat'em and smile was to be the soundtrack......anyway, when the movie studio went under he sued the movie company and won the producer fee. So Prince and Dave were both talented musically and in other artistic ways...Is prince more instrumentally talented..yeah..id give him that..prince can play all instruments..Dave can just play guitar at an average level.....they both wrote great songs and both wrote $hitty songs. With Prince though, it was all about him...with Dave in VH it was all about the band. All the focus was on Prince because he was essentially a solo act.
I’m sure Dave would agree...but who has the biggest balls!
I don't think that's even a question. Roth was one of the best hard rock lyricists and frontmen in the world. Prince is a prodigy musician, excellent songwriter, singer and performer. Both changed music in their times and influenced many, but to compare the two is like trying to look east and west at the same time. It's not worth the effort.
I mean.... Even Dave wouldn't dispute that. You're kind of stating the obvious. Now, Eddie is a different story if we are talking about genius.
But who has the best songs? VH Owned The 80’s
Was the statue of David of David Lee Roth or Michelangelo's David... 🤣
It almost never looks good when people have work done. Seems like that happened here.
Not so sure about her story on writing Glamorous Life that was Prince and Sheila
🖤💜🖤It was just Prince. Prince’s engineer and others confirm that. Sheila was bought in when everything else was done. It was that lie she told in her book that ended they’re friendship, sad. Also the song wasn’t about Apollonia like she use to say, it was about Denise Matthews aka Vanity. This everybody jumping on the “ credit train “ is not surprising, but I did expect more from Apollonia. I don’t know why.🖤💜🖤
@@purpleflowers699 that song was written for Vanity to sing by Prince, he also wrote Manic Monday for Vanity and Sugar Walls too. He was going to have her sing those songs but they broke up before purple rain and he gave those songs to other artists including Sheila E
@@sheriefrazier3479 🕊🧖🏽♂️🕊I knew about everything else, but I didn’t know about ‘ Sugar Walls ‘. Sheena Easton did a great job singing that one, she definitely was a better singer then the other three.🕊🧖🏽♂️🕊
@@purpleflowers699 now I don’t know what to believe anymore. I think she’s trying to say she contributed something but it wasn’t talked about all that much or something. The way how she said Prince was trying to make right.
@@Bubba.mitchell4603 🖤💜🖤A lot of them are putting words into a dead mans mouth. Prince was a very religious and forgiving person, both of which I think made him very vulnerable to being taken advantage of by people who took advantage in the past.
Their the only ones who keep saying that Prince was making amends to them before he passed on. ‘ AMENDS FOR WHAT ‘! Opening the door for each one of them into the entertainment industry! Giving them all the opportunity to make a career for themselves. It’s not Prince’s fault if most of them weren’t meant to be as talented and successful as he was meant to be. It was Prince who opened the door for Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, two talented men, but in this industry it takes a lot more than talent to get in. And when a talented person does get through that door, it usually can take about 10 years for them to really become successful....if ever.
Some of them are so bitter about their lack of success without Prince, that one of them has gone around saying that he believes that Prince had him “ blackballed “, which is ridiculous! Because right after ‘ The Time ‘ broke up he got a record deal and put out a few albums in the 80s. If Prince wanted him or anyone else ‘ Blackballed ‘ than before he got signed to a record label would have been the time to do it. He just wants someone to blame because he couldn’t hold on to his record deal, which is not unusual. A lot of people get dropped once they’re sales start to drop. It happened to Morris, Lisa and Wendy and Brown Mark too. You just have to go and try you’re luck else where.
Even Prince’s ex- bodyguard, Chick said he wondered if someone from Prince’s camp had him ‘ blackballed ‘ because he couldn’t find work in security after he stopped working for Prince. Working for Prince made him probably the first ‘ World Wide Famous Bodyguard In History ‘, which means that he was known in the industry, but he was also known for having an addiction problem. No one going to hired someone with a known addiction or dependency problem to work security!
It’s just easier for all of them to put it on someone else, than to take responsibility for their own actions, behavior and lack of ability. Prince always was an easy target. He gave few interviews. He like a lot of celebrities didn’t get involved in a public ‘ back-and-forth ‘ with any of them. What for? They’re going to say what they’re going to say and believe what suits them the best. The only time I heard Prince comment on those people saying ‘ this and that ‘, was when he appeared on the ‘ Travis Smilely Show ‘. He basically said that he couldn’t understand how “ they “ didn’t think a lot of what they were claiming would eventually get back to him? He really looked sad when he was talking about this. That interview may still be up on CZcams.
Everybody has their opinions or assumptions about this depending on how they feel about Prince. If they’re a burch of trolls and haters, they’re loving every second of this. The same if they are some greedy opportunist, desperately trying to chip away or get some of that Prince Legacy on to themselves. Working for Prince or being the inspiration to one of Prince’s many songs or albums, doesn’t mean that you contributed in the actual creation of that song or album. Some of the women who were in Prince’s life act like if he wasn’t attracted to them or hadn’t been hired by him, that he never would have gotten anywhere. Dream on people. Even jimmy Jam knew in high school that Prince was going to make it. He said you don’t work that hard without getting somewhere. But still people are going to do their best to try and rewrite history.
For example. Both Lisa and Wendy for decades have tried to include themselves in the creation of one of Prince’s most iconic songs. When Doves Cry. The core fams always knew that wasn’t true, but it went on for decades and because Prince never said anything about it, some people took that to mean it must be true. If you respond to a lie it just takes on a bigger life then if you ignore it, at least that’s what I used to think. Thankfully after Prince’s untimely death, an intelligent interviewer asked Lisa and Wendy to explain exactly what they did in the making of that song. I’ve been waiting for decades for someone to ask that question! They finally admitted that they didn’t write any of the lyrics or music for the song, but they still felt they contributed because Prince was so competitive with them. WOW...and people say that Prince had a huge ego. Prince was competitive with everyone, about everything! How does that make you a co-writer on a song?
Oops..Sorry. I’ve been off of social media for awhile so I guess I got carried away. That sometimes happens when I talk about Prince, but at least I don’t get carried away like Prince’s former ex-employees and exes. Stay safe.🖤💜🖤
So she was married at the same time she dated David Lee Roth and in Purple Rain in sex scenes with Prince
she got around a lot🙄
I thought she was married as well.
She was pretty when she was young..
We’ll, might as well jump……..JUMP!!!
Debbie Davidson also has stories of David Lee Roth.
Never knew she dated DLR
I still would
Dave is the man
She's wrong cuz Prince did those splits on the music video for Sexuality and was doing outrageous antics and jumping off of heavy equipment during the triple threat Tour aka 1999 Tour.
Van Halen did their first album in 77
Never realized that Prince fans were so delusional as to believe that he was the originator of every single thing he ever played or performed. Uh, he wasn't. Many people in the L.A. area have spoken at length about how David Lee Roth was doing highly acrobatic moves on stage, including jumping off of Alex Van Halen's bass drums and doing splits, as far back as the mid 70's at some of the backyard parties Van Halen were playing before they even got signed by Warner Bros. I've spoken to people when I lived in L.A. who saw VH, and saw Roth do these moves pre 78'. There is a reason why Van Halen were getting so much attention in the L.A. area prior to their first album being released in 78'. Get over yourself people. Just because you worship Prince doesn't mean he originated every single solitary thing you ever heard him play or saw him perform. Roth has admitted in interviews over the years some of the people he was influenced by, all performers have influences. They all look around and steal to a certain degree. Whether it's people from their formative years, or even sometimes contemporaries. Sorry to tell you, but Prince was no different. He didn't invent the musical wheel. His guitar playing for instance was highly influenced by Hendrix. And he wasn't the first performer to use the Linn drum machine either. Doesn't negate his vital importance, but it doesn't make your fanboy delusions real either.
Reality is a friend.
Roth stole his schtick from Jim "Dandy" Mangrum of Black Oak Arkansas.
Who the hell are you talking to? lol...Prince fans are notorious for knowing all of Prince's influences and love pointing them out. And Prince's guitar playing was influenced more by Santana than by Hendrix.
@C J I love this. Thank you. WAY too many people have overidolized every little step Prince did. While he is in my top 4 musical influences, in no way do I fall over in blind worship. I started hearing stories of him in the early 90s when I was up in L.A. playing in various bands. Too much gossip about him that turned out to be true or just "what a prick" stuff. Stuff like that turns me off. I love him and always will. I cried like a busted water faucet when he died. But he's a human and faults need to be accepted as well.
@ Mike Little, Jim Dandy himself said “whatever he took from me he made it his own”.
