    Larry actually asked Dave if he was enjoying himself. I get the impression that no one enjoys life more than Dave. Every time he cracked a joke he laughs louder than anyone. Dave is the kind of guy that would be a blast to hang out with at a bar or something but I have no doubt his over the top personality would get old after a while.
    I remember growing up in the 80's every girl wanted to be with Dave and most guys wanted to be Dave. If you were between the ages of 11 and 16 in the early 80's chances are you sang in front of a mirror to Van Halen thinking you were Dave. He was perhaps the most charasmatic rock singer ever. He may not have had the greatest voice in the business, not that it was bad, but his charisma is what made him a legend. Eddie and Dave were opposites in personality but what a magical combination they were. The entire band was amazing.

He kept it completely secret, his friends from the other bands on the Monsters Of Rock - bill eventually asked "Where's Ed?" He replied "Val probably watches over Ed to keep him from having fun..." That was the only hint where I sussed the relationship had turned sour...

    I enjoy both eras of Van Halen, and both singers for different reasons. But there's no arguing that David Lee Roth was an original. Only he could do his thing and make it work. He's clearly an intelligent, worldly guy. Interviewers must have loved to just let him go on and fill the space.

    Definitely one of the more intelligent guys in R & R, as well as being one of, if not the best front man to hit the stage. But even better than that is, he's probably a great guy to have a cup of coffee and just kick back with.

    At the height of the glam rock era.
    I was a 20 year old disappointed Van Halen fan back then. Because Dave left the band.
    Ironically enough, I'm listening to a compilation of Sammy Hagar Van Halen songs.
    Which was the reason I was disappointed back in 1986 L.O.L.
    It took me 30 years to finally add Sammy Hagar era Van Halen music to my collection.😅😂
