- Original lead vocalist, Diamond David Lee Roth in the now defuct program, "VH1's Where Are They Now?" This was recorded in the early '00s before the reunion minus Michael Anthony in '07.
- Hudba
Far from a flop. His solo career was pale in comparison to his work in Van Halen or how Van Halen with Sammy Hagar paralleled Roth's solo career. When the eye of popular culture passed through the 1980s, it fit Roth perfectly. He paved the way for the one hit wonders that rose to fame in the late 1980s. Sure, it was disappointing to see Roth as the opening act in the late 1990s. But, not half as disappointing when the main act took stage and watched half the crowd leave.
who did he play opening act for?
@@backslash68 Bad Company in 1999. It was their reunion tour, I believe.
However, his first solo album was very good, with absolute beast musicians
The greatest frontman in the history of rock music.
MTV tried to mock the greats. I remember these little clips. Now we see who got the last laugh. Time always keep the fools in check. David will always be great and will outdo you in anything.
I think he has the greatest voice in all of Hard Rock and the greatest stage presence of all Rock and Roll frontmen. He defies the sterotypical nails-on-a-blackboard vocal qualities that one normally associates with Hard Rock or Heavy Metal plus he ALWAYS displayed a positive image rather than an angry image. No question about it he was THE best in the whole business!!
You are joking, right?😆🤣
Me too buddy
"I don't know where that critic is at today, but I'm still right here, BABAAYYY, I say!" - David Lee Roth, Largo, MD 1982
No one is really sure what became of Waldo.
I saw him at the 2/18 show in Louisville. VH tore the house down! Awesome!
dlr is always great for a laugh and a good time
Nobody rocks harder than Dave and Eddie.
Dave didn’t get booted out he left
The Best Front Man ever in the history of Hard Rovk and Heavy Metal. DLR
Corrupted my youth and I'm damn lucky to have survived it but here I am.
I loved the funny goofball stuff he came up with.
The phrase, "Never sweat the small shit because it's all small shit." is a phrase Dave lives by.
I remember when this came out...in year 2000 on VH1
"Where is David Lee Roth now?"
He took God's job, didn't you hear?
I just watched the whole VH show from Sydney Australia from last month and I think him and Ed have both been able to turn things around.They both look healthy now and performed well.
thanks, i'm so glad this was posted...i have it on vhs somewhere and i can't find it...i remember this segment well...i always found it sad on this show, when they would bring on a "has-been" and really play it up, meanwhile the artist has just released new material, and maybe it could be introduced briefly...
AWESOME!!!!!!
"I saved Brooke Shields from drowning, and spent all the reward money on hiring Van Halen for my Birthday party!"
Spicoli!
Awesome! Totally awesome!
@@PowerGlove79 Alright Hamilton!
Woozy woozzy BOB! LOOOPDY LOOOOOOP! Waaah!
dave is a great cover song singer!
Probation for a dime bag?! What the hell is wrong with US, LEGALIZE!
Great observation.
Agree Dave is the nr. 1
1:49 to 1:59 is the best part, I would love to see this entire interview outake uncut. (with the striped shirt). He's really pissed at the interviewer. A rare, unguarded moment.
Awesome
He rules.
Come back, Dave!
To answer the question... "Where is Dave now?" I feel free to respond (for myself of course), He is in my heart and soul till the time when; "Life goes on without Me "😉
1:50 cracks me up everytime I see it. Nice hair and sailor outfit Dave.
See ya in 2012 DLR!
Where are they now? Dave never went away. The David Lee Roth discs rocked harder than most Van Hagar. Granted, Dave knows how to take it down a notch, but like "Experience" says "it's a feeling!" Dave just gives you that feeling that's cool as hell sober, cool as anything can BE when you go bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I went 2/20 to Auburn Hills, MI and loved every single nano-second of it all!
David Lee Roth & Konishiki Behind The Scenes !!
@danone19
isaw them on 2/20 in detroit michigan great show
I remember when the DLR album came out there was not fanfare at all. I just saw it on the shelves one day in the record store and that was it. I don't think most people even made the connection that this was a new David Lee Roth album so they did not buy it.
Ha ha oh my goodness "What´s New Pussycat" :-)))
Dave really wasn`t given a fair shake in the early 90`s. It seemed like the world all of a sudden was against him. When the reunion attempt went bust it was then the world began to see the truth to Ed Van Halen, he presents himself as this nice down to earth guy but really doesn`t like people. When Sammy found this same thing out in `95 when he got kicked to the curb he learned the same thing Dave did 10 years before, Eddie is nobody`s friend, he`s just good at pretending he is.
They switched nights and the show you must have seen was when Sam closed the show
@Deltarogers Well said.
Homa-la-babe-a-la-zeba-la-boob-a-la--homa-la-babe-a-la-zeeba-la-bop!! lol
Boozy boozy bop
Never be in band, be a great lead singer and name the band after group members.
David Lee Roth was the group Van Halen! MTV/VH1 always trying to bury someone.
His solo music was great!
DLR is top dog in rock. No-one else compared then and now. He just lost his younger voice.
The new Van Halen album a different kind of Truth is very good album also the best David Lee Roth album is the DLR band
oiyabastard far from new, it was released in 2012.
where is he now? touring all over north america selling out arenas night after night......
He supposedly when told it was a "where are they now" show, he walked off the set in a huff. Where is that piece?
Why is he hiding behind a hat and sunglasses? He is a fine looking man - even bald and pupils dilated.
perfect face perfection omg best looking man on planet earth, sexy raw integrated graphic majestic elegance, omg sweetest man on earth
lol look at him now lol
No, I’m what you described, not Dave
Get your eyes checked, sweetie!
DLR will be and is the last rockstar ...end of!!
Ron Mexico fuck STP!! 💩
@kensnook...It's called age
Looks like Eddie's been painting & Decorating ????
Dave is back with VH. Oh the irony!
He's like the real life spicole!
I see you posted this almost a year ago you may or may not see this, but I just read your comment I always thought that myself and you're the first one I've ever heard also say that... that is very true though just watch some of his interviews in the early 80s Diamond Dave the one and only he surely lived life at a hundred miles an hour all the time... and he still here today to be able to talk about it he survived LOL
@@paulym9969 Too bad he's such an idiot.
@malcocreative come on what's your band's name
Lol!! Yeah Tom Jones' voice is much clearer than DLR's but their vocal QUALITIES to me are still somewhat similar.
Who was the responsible for that wardrobe at 3:00?
LOL!! True plus Dave with his smoking habit doesn't help his voice either.
He did lose his voice but still went back to VH .,but he was only 1/2 of what he once was actuall he looked lost and a Vaudville Act
Boy was Vh1 a fun channel at one time. Then it became as ridiculous as mtv these days
Owen Wilson
He should come out and be proud of himself
lol...yep...sammy called him gay for years..he mustve seen some things
@@LITMOVIESCENES Alot of folks saw some things. Even Ed and Al used to snicker about it in interviews.
@@bigdawg7262 he seems as gay as it gets
Have you seen what old age has done to him? He just couldn't grow old gracefully, but then when it's all said and done when you have as much money as Diamond Dave has you you don't need to look sexy anymore!
Diamon Dave!
the best cover singer of all time!
Seriously when I was in Jr. High School and I heard "Running With The Devil" for the first time I mistook his voice for (DON'T FRIGGIN LAUGH!!!) .......ready?.......Tom Jones!! Yes, THAT Tom Jones. The Welsh Elvis wannabe.
This is so disrespectful to probably the greatest front man in rock history.
It was not about Mick Jagger or Freddie Mercury.
You mean he can't have kids?????
Did he get arrested for a bag of marihuana? Really? Unbelievable. Ridicilous.
He looks and sounds hilarious at 1:49. What is with his hair?
DLR was badass...then?...forget it....it wears on ya I guess. Some great soso stuff though, so apparently it wasn't all mucked.
I loved VH with DLR and saw them on their Diver Down tour. He (Dave) was fun to watch, and was tremendously funny, but even back then he spoke more of the lyrics than he sang. The record sales with Sammy show the band improved without his presence, whether you like one lead singer over the other, the stats show the facts. Sammy still sounds pretty decent these days (and is 7 years older than Roth, too) and yet these days, Dave's voice is virtually non-existent. Sad to see/hear, too. I would never pay to see VH perform these days for that fact alone. Sammy however, I'd still pay to see.
They were definitely more commercially successful with Hagar. I think that's what Ed and Al were looking for. That and a change in direction of their music.
DLR was badass...then?...forget it....it wears on ya I guess. Some great solo stuff though, so apparently it wasn't all mucked.
thank god he is back and we can forget that loser sammy. he ruined van halen and he is just to pop. lets get back to the real van halen and forget that side band ever mattered. LETS GO DAVE!!! YOU BACK HOME BABY!!!
Sammy the 'loser' who achieved far more than you.
check the #1 records and who has em..dave couldnt do it
Well, that's what happens when you romanticize partying too much, it changes you! Gives you a big ego.
Multi platinum sales to multi hundred sales sold out 10,000 seaters to half full clubs in record time all the way to a paramedic job in the slums of New York took his ego to barely above rock bottom in record time
Great stage-performer/frontman check! But no way the best hard rock vocalist dude .-)
True, awful voice, and always telling dumb jokes. Eddie and Alex got fed up, eventually.
best frontman ever
From spandex to Depends. Jump already Dave.
HARDLY!!!!!
@malcocreative @lurch321 @KingToa666
Any money it was Poison??
Cause if it was Poison then of course you looked bad, Poison are the worst band of all time!
That time he got arrested in NYC, it was actually for propositioning an undercover police officer. A male undercover police officer. Cruising public restrooms for friendship.
Sounds as though you may have witnessed this first-hand what bathroom stall were you in.
omg that dress code.... how can you concentrate on the music ? This is soooo un-elegant and ridiculous, the notes and the riffs all fade away.... The silly grimaces don't help. Hope California is more than that, otherwise, I don't mind the Chinese if they would invade it, they can have it.
No worries, he's back with VH now....butchering all Ed's music!
Nah, Ed has been pretty good at butchering his own music for the last, jeez...it's been happening for awhile now
Yeah, ever since he brought the baton twirling clown back.
Ed was pretty awful on the 2004 Sammy tour too. Was at multiple shows. The way Sammy describes it in his book is unfortunately very accurate
That was 13 years ago! Ed has been sober since 08 and playing great. Dave, on the other hand, was a joke on stage the last 2 VH tours.
Eh. Different strokes for different folks, agree to disagree. Frankly his playing doesn't really do it as much for me anymore these days anyway. I still break out VH when I'm in my fun rock mood, but it's more jazz and fusion players like Scott Henderson, Allan Holdsworth, etc. More harmonically sophisticated players. And on top of that, he has burned so many bridges and been such an ass to so many people at this point in his life I just don't respect him as much anymore (as well as his enabling brother). That dude bought into his own hype in 1977-1981, and has deteriorated since. I don't deny what he did for rock guitar, though.
Great voice until about 2000, now he sounds like a elderly jewish shoe salesman. On top of the fact he cant sing, he actually believes he still can sing, which as I said, can't.
I fucking hate VH1 Where are they now. They did my band, (which shall remain unnamed) and it sucked. They have no respect. If you were in a famous band and they approach you avoid them like the plague.
now there is a guy deep in the closet.
doddering around onstage.....
