619.0. "David Lee Roth" by TECRUS::ROST (Clueless and slightly slack) Fri Mar 18 1994 15:11

    Wot, no David Lee Roth note?
    
    An article on him in today's Boston Globe was acompanied by a
    picture....wow, he cut his hair and now he looks like Sting!  He's
    moved from LA to NYC, has a new album out and will be touring smaller
    rooms than his Van Halen salad days.

    Saw him briefly on the John Stewart MTV thing the other night. He does 
    look a little different, but he's still seems pretty obnoxious. Ah,
    what the hell. I guess it comes with being used to having the world by
    the tail.  
    
    Is Billy Sheehan still with his band ?

    I doubt it, Billy's been playing with Mr. Big for about two years now.

    Shows what a dynamic force DLR has been in my musical life. 
    
    Thanks, Dave.
    
619.4BUSY::SLABOUNTYIs this p_n great or what?Fri Mar 18 1994 21:126
    
    	Dave has had some excellent musicians playing with him ... Steve
    	Vai and Billy Sheehan for a couple albums, and they wailed.

    who's in his touring band these days?
    
    Later...

    I've always loved David Lee Roth. He's the consumate showman. I was
    fortunate enough to see the tour with Vai and Sheehan and I my
    jaw hit the floor at the beginning of the show and never returned
    until I got home that night. Simply incredible.

    	I don't know if Sheehan was with him when I saw him [Faster
    	Pussycat opened, at Providence or Worcester], but Vai was.
    
    	My jaw also hit the floor watching Vai ... amazing.  And
    	Dave is getting old, but still put on a heck of a show.

619.9Mah main maan!STKHLM::STENSTROMStill Crazy After All These Beers...Tue Sep 20 1994 06:4910
This brings back fond memories of when I bought the FIRST Van Halen
album. I got back to my flat, turned the hi-fi (it was called that
in those days long before the CD...) and got completely blown away
by "Running with the devil". I can still listen to their verion of
"You relly got me" and it sends me into playin' that old imaginary
Fender. Whaaaowweeee!!!

So, what's old Diamond-Dave up to these days?

    Dave's looking much older and tireder these days, living in a small
    apartment in North Hollywood...I hear he's working on a collaboration
    with Vanilla Ice...

    	In an age where David Bowie and Bing Crosby appear together on
    	a song, yes, I believe a reply like that does deserve a smiley.

619.15Super GregRICKS::CALCAGNIThere's no money to be made above the 5th fretThu Sep 22 1994 18:496
    Speaking of DLR, there's a Worcester area group called Super Greg
    and Waterpark that do a hilarious tune about Dave.  It's impossible
    to describe, you gotta hear it.
    
    I recommend this band if you like Primus, but wish they were weirder.
