Dave brought so much to the band. I think people pass him off as just a frontman, but he gave Van Halen a lot of what set them apart. He gave Van Halen a lot of flavor that was gone in the era of Hagar. I won't pass off Sammy, he was a great singer, and they had some good tunes, but he was a rock singer and Van Halen was a rock band. Roth was like a radio that kept changing channels. Was he gonna give you Robert Plant or Louis Prima?...how about both. He gave Van Halen their color. That's why Van Halen wasn't just a rock band. They were their own thing.
They were like a spiritual confirmation. The same feeling of euphoria and invincibility you get when your favorite football team wins a playoff game. They had such attitude because their hearts were in it. With Hagar it was a sanitized product made to sell.
More real stories, yes. Love Dave and he brought so much to VH, but total BS stories like this tarnish him in my eyes. This story is so easily refuted too, with all the pics and first hand accounts from various sources throughout the years.
I've seen videos of Eddie telling how he supposedly did the tape thing all by himself and he bought the reflector at a truck stop. One of these two were doing some creative history writing. Only one way to find out, ask Alex and/or Mike. I don't know if Mike would have been there at that time but Alex must have been. We need to get to bottom of this.
@@shtdaprdtr How do you know it was black? Supposedly, Eddie bought the body and neck separately, the body was a "second' because it had a knot in it. So in theory it wouldn't have been painted at all, just plain wood. That would mean that Dave was indeed talking out his ass. He took the opportunity of Eddie not being around to refute it.
@@VortekStarling what? What the hell are you talking about..were talking about the color it was before the stripes. Yes he bought it bare wood with a knot inside the lower body horn. He added a fender bridge and neckplate and an es335 paf humbucker. He sprayed it black and played gigs with a black strat and an ibanez destroyer he painted white. When he painted it black the paint pooled in the knot and caused a drip which wasn't sanded out which you can see under all the layers of paint in the frankenstein. Then around 77 he taped it with gaffers tape and pinstripe tape...not the tape Dave's talking about, and sprayed the white on top...then when the tapes removed thats how you achieve the stripes. And btw...the "painted" white destroyer was cut up..painted silver, tape applied, then painted maroon/ metallic red and became the shark guitar.
5:18 "The guitar was originally white" Not true, the guitar was originally black, the tape was put on, then sprayed white, the tape pulled off to reveal the black stripes. Whether Davies memory is fading, or he's speaking shite is another debate.
His memory is fading. It was black. He referenced Hendrix guitars. Hendrix had a black one as well as the white one. Not important. What's important is his memory of how it was striped which has been a long standing debate.
I read where Wally Olney, a childhood friend of Ed's, visited Ed's house and found him in the backyard painting the guitar red. No mention of Dave ever being there.
This story is 100% false. It’s so full of shit that why Dave would want to claim fame to something he had nothing to do with now that Eddie is gone is truly something.
I have loved everything you David and Van Halen has done, people that isn’t musicians don’t understand what it takes to tour all over the world, and what’s comes with it, Miss and rest In peace Eddie you did it good 👍✌️
"It was all white at first, then taped". That makes zero sense. The guitar would have to be all black first in order to get that design. As mentioned in Eddie's interview years ago.
I’ll never forget going out to a club called Crazy Girls in L.A. many years ago with my own band, some crew & some local friends. Musta been 15 of us, & everyone decided to leave except me & my 1 bud from Los Angeles. It wasn’t 3 minutes after everyone else left that I turn around & Dave is standing 3 feet away. I’m like- that’s David Lee fucking Roth, or am I just drunk? Turns out my buddy knew him in some capacity, so he introduced me real quick. Was just one of those random things hahaha. The best part was telling the rest of the guys that they left 2 minutes before Dave appeared & missed the whole encounter. 😆
@@ChainedGraboid It’s fucked up. I just wish others would understand this is 100% bullshit. Get the real story from Ed’s guitar tech. He debunks all these points.
Super awesome, Dave, but blue 3m pinstriping tape wasn't a thing in 1975, and the Frankie guitar was first bare wood, black, THEN white. FFS, why do famous people feel the need to lie about silly shit?
😁😁😁 David love this story. This art work you did here is my Fav too. Keep painting!!! I heard a song on the radio by you...made me smile...thanks for the smiles today...😁
I may be wrong, but I think DLR may be referring to only the early Strat, about using the tape on it live, etc. Ed's Boogie Bodies/Charvel was the actual spray paint job, which had to have been a black body when you take the tape off. DLR didn't clarify, but that's ok.
Do another book Dave.. Do a bunch of video interviews/documentary type shit and tell your story…you are too important to not have your madness documented
Dave was riffing pure fiction in this video, admittedly very imaginative and entertaining, but pure fiction nonetheless. The Frankenstrat didn't start as a white Strat, it started as a plain wood body that Eddie bought at the factory, it was a factory second because it had a knot in it. Eddie did all the tape and paint work himself. There was never any blue art tape involved, Dave totally made it up. Eddie also bought the reflectors himself at the truck stop. Dave can riff pure bs for hours straight, it's a rare talent.
I’m sure not all of this is bullshit given as he was the ringleader of the band at this time, when all four of them were of equal standing. Definitely some is twisted and not entirely accurate but I don’t think it’s unreasonable that Dave went up to Ed and suggested the design. Dave acknowledges the design would be nothing without Ed.
Dave’s influence on the VH Brothers is extraordinary and unrecognized by most who call themselves “Van Halen fans.” Read Van Halen Rising by Greg Renoff, gives great accounts of how the band grew.
Well, maybe older musicians live on different continents and go into the studio separately to lay down their individual tracks. However, VH in the early days were a band.
This story is obviously bullcrap because the guitar was black.. taped and sprayed white and Ed has told the story many times. Funny Roth just comes up with this story now that it was his design but they way he says it was done is ass backwards 🤣
Hey Dave, you started to mention what the first nickname of the Frankenstein guitar was, but then got sidetracked. I’d love to know what you guys called it originally!
The only problem is, the guitar wasn't white..it was black, then you put on tape, paint it white and peel the tape to get the black stripes. I do believe Dave believes his version of the story..only problem is its inaccurate. There are plenty of pics of Ed playing the black strat in 75/76 and a white explorer!
Dave! Bah Hahaha ha - You are so funny! You speak in visuals - I literally can see what you’re saying lol I love the fact that you are your authentic self. As a former airbrush artist and sign painter, now all digital, I totally get the whole world of tape. Sticky tape that is, Sometimes edgy, sometimes smooth, sometimes jagged - always on hand lol - Love your honesty with your five senses. Thanks for your stories, art and music - True and true - Cool man you🤘 Peace, out.
Love Dave, but this is a crock of horseshit. Photographic evidence proves none of this to be true. Weird of him to try and take credit for Eddie's iconic design after Ed has passed.
Dave making shit up. AGAIN. The true crime is there are a lot of people going to believe this story. And that’s my big problem. Him lying about a story and something he had nothing to do with. This story is 100% bullshit.
Man we need a Van Halen miniseries bad. This would have been an awesome story for such a thing. They deserve more than a 2 hour movie. With the right actors it would blow away the Crue, queen and def Leppard movie. Dave could play the owner of gazzaris or something.
Oh no Dave, don’t go there. I’ve spent countless hours reading from many sources how that guitar came to be. A bogie bodies second and a neck for in the neighborhood of $150. It was first painted black and the pick guard was cut by Ed and smoothed out by a soldering iron. For the stripes he used gaffers tape - which remnants of still exist on the body. The white was applied next to give the white with black stripes incarnation. Went on tour and then more tape and applied the schwin bicycle red. No Dave, just no. Van Halen holds a very special place in my heart. Stop letting your ego f@&ck up your rightful place in Van Halen history. Next you’ll tell us you told him to wax pot the humbucker.
@@Drfrostybrew I’m sure it’s true as far as he is concerned. People remember things differently. Especially after decades of partying, to put it respectfully.
I've seen that guy's guitar and read that it was electrical taped. Not 100% sure he fid it first but I also read that VH used to watch that band in Hollywood during the club days.
The "experts" poo pooing Dave's story are WRONG. One simple example...blue art tape is NOT blue painters tape. Two completely separate items. Dave is very artistic. Guaranteed his recollection is true. Dave's idea. Ed's work.
Sorry, Dave’s account is BS. There is dated photographic evidence of each stage that guitar went through. Never was a white body as Dave claims. Ed bought the body as a factory second - meaning it had a knot in it and they were just going to toss it. Ed assembled it as a bare wood guitar first. He then painted it black. Ed cut the pickguard himself and smoothed the rough edges with a soldering iron. He then striped it with various widths of gaffers tape, some of which is still stuck on the guitar, and painted the body white. Removing the tape revealed a black striped guitar- the one pictured on the first VH album. A tour or so later he taped it up again and painted it with Schwin Bicycle red - culminating in the iconic design we see on his frankenstrat today.
Dave had some great ideas within the band back in the day, but Eddie was innovative in every way regarding the guitar and all things related to his playing so why would he not come up with his own design for his guitar ? Makes no sense that Dave would have any influence on the genius that EVH was regarding anything on his guitars or his playing. He had the audacity to tell EVH back in '82 that he was tired of the guitar hero shit.
I’m with ya. (I’m preferring to think that, because EVH was using a black guitar AND a white one at the time, the details of which one got taped/painted was confused). 🤞
mother!!! wow a real high when I aint even high, got ma hi. In grade school my brother would turn in my art work as his own, you now the rest of the story..... well well well. DLR Mother!!! lol (for the first time.
You gotta start doing the podcasts again Dave! Please!! I love you man🧡 and I thank you for all the great music you have created that has brought joy to my life since I was a 10 year old hearing Jump for the first time on my little 9volt transistor am radio. Fittingly, as I was listening to this I was sipping coffee out of my EVH Frankenstein mug. Tears welling up. RIP Edward. For everyone else that sees this check out the Professor of Rock video Adam Reader put up this morning about The Cradle Will Rock. ruclips.net/video/bvTwSAFbEE4/видео.html
So Dave is claiming that he came up with the idea for the striped graphics on Eddie's guitar? I don't know about that. Sounds like he's trying to take credit for everything.
Dave was on tour for years as a rock master of ceremonies. And off the stage will remain a master raconteur.
Dave brought so much to the band. I think people pass him off as just a frontman, but he gave Van Halen a lot of what set them apart. He gave Van Halen a lot of flavor that was gone in the era of Hagar. I won't pass off Sammy, he was a great singer, and they had some good tunes, but he was a rock singer and Van Halen was a rock band. Roth was like a radio that kept changing channels. Was he gonna give you Robert Plant or Louis Prima?...how about both. He gave Van Halen their color. That's why Van Halen wasn't just a rock band. They were their own thing.

Absolutely! Dave *made* Van Halen what it was. Van Hagar was not at all the same band.
DLR .... IS one of our countries most Valuable treasures. I could listen to him for hours ! Don't ever stop. And thank you !
Love the Van Halen history stories, Dave! Keep'em comin'!
Diamond David Lee Roth, still sparkles like a diamond after all these years. Good to hear from you, Dave!
..hey there Fearsome 👋 it is good to hear him!
Love hearing how you and Alex laugh like pirates - I love you ...❤️
“I invented coffee, Eddie invented the coffee cup.” Think about that statement. Brilliant
We need more DLR stories.
I wouldn't mind reading what was cut out from his Crazy From The Heat book. Maybe with additional stories?
More real stories, yes. Love Dave and he brought so much to VH, but total BS stories like this tarnish him in my eyes. This story is so easily refuted too, with all the pics and first hand accounts from various sources throughout the years.

I was 16 when VH1 came out, sending me to see them open for Black Sabbath in NYC. It changed my life. Just listening to Dave reminisce brings me back.
He goes through all that and then "...so, the guitar was originally white?" Lol

Darn good to hear your voice❣️
Eddie claims HE painted and put stripes on his guitar. I’m confused.
I just can't listen to Dave talk anymore, he never says anything even though he doesn't stop talking.

You know what this means: Mitch Malloy "the lost inspiration to EVH's Frankenstrat"
What a wonderful history lesson Dave. Keep it coming bro. You're the one who had your hands on the wheel of that thing. You know best.🤘🤘
Very cool 🤘🏻
I thought the guitar striping idea came from a punk band called Dil whose guitarist was doing that before Ed
Thanks for the story. And da-wit
I finally broke down and set the alerts so I don’t miss these things. Thanks DLR. you’re awesome!
