One of the SMARTEST MEN I have ever listened to most people don't get this . He is original , if more of us would be our own original we would get this . Love him for who he is , that is that . Truly loves LIFE .
WoW! Thank you for putting that so perfectly. You took just what I was thinking and could not express and spilled my heart out about D.L.R. Thank you!! ☺
I love DLR!! He says some of the funniest things and has so many great one liners. Trying to keep up with Dave is like chasing a 6 year old after they got into a six pack of Mtn. Dew!! Man he is all over the place. So much energy!! Such a rich life he has lead. His stories are so fun and he is such a blast 😂
Interesting episode. Totally enjoyed listening to David Lee Roth. He's so comical and educational all at the same time, with a lot of words of wisdom mixed in. I can see how & why he became the front man that he is. Thanks for uploading it...
Clearly in his manic state, yet his mind is razor sharp, entertaining, with an extensive vocabulary to express himself. You must pay attention or he will leave you in the dust.
He laughs at his own jokes and he was a sexy beast back in the early VH days! I I saw VH for the first time in 76 they were back up for Sabbath, what a killer first Rock concert!! I just had to throw that in!
He also probably laughs about his memories than find them funny, I love Dimond Dave as a person, even if he's in his 60's, yes women loved him when he was young.
David you are my friend for life. I love your joie de vivre, your energy, your sensitivity, your madness. I'm French and bought your untranslated book. I must have read it with a dictionary in my hand and really enjoyed it. your music is joyful and virile. And respectful of the people and women you love so much. You brought me joy and light. I thank you forever
Seen VH in 82 and 84. Also seen countless other big groups, too. Having said that, David Lee Roth was the greatest rock n roll front man to ever take (own) the stage, 78 to 84.
Dave probably sits at home alone eating breakfast having the exact same conversations with himself. the fact that there is an interviewer there is irrelevant. the man loves to talk.
I used to think that too but he's in the ring right now doing his thing, when he's out of the spotlight he's truly out of the spotlight. Dave's a complicated guy.
Greatest entertainer ever. He said in a documentary on one occasion about Sammy Hagar..... "Sam is always looking for the party..... I am the party. " Boom!
Marilee Erickson Vh1 and 1984 are both 10x platinum EACH. Those two albums combined sold more than every Van Hagar album combined. Roth solo has more platinum albums than Hagar platinum albums. Numbers speak for themselves.
@@thefonzkiss Dlr solo career became a joke while Sammy solo career carries on. Dlr became a beggar to EVH to be back on the band. Van halen álbuns were bought because of the guitar.
Those first 2 albums are masterpieces. I thought the 1st one was their best for while. But as I kept listening that 2nd album, I think that's their best album. There's not one badd song on it. I'm a guitar player too. I usually don't reply to a comment but I had to on this one. Bottoms up👍🎸🤙
@@FiendishlyDelightedSefto Because Dave has been very vocal about his ADDHD since birth. I recall him discussing Ritalin but not sure if he continues to use it.
He lead a wild life of course, duh, rock star, but he is soo interesting. I could listen to him all day also. The funniest thing I ever read was when he told his parents when hw first smoked pot.
@@mattmarkus4868 - Yeah the 80's were one show after the other, everyone was on tour, there was no shortage of concerts back then, i wouldn't trade it for anything.
Yes the 1981 Fair Warning tour is the best VH Roth tour ever. And I saw the 79 tour, 82 tour and the 84 tour. I saw the 82 and 84 tours 3 times each. I saw the FW tour only once. It was in Charlotte in August 1981. I have always wished that I had gone to the Greensboro show the next night. Oh well. I screwed up there. Here's hoping the 81 Oakland show will be released in its entirety one day. Hopefully before I die!
I LOVE YOU DAVID LEE ROTH! YOU ARE AMAZING!💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓DAMN...IM SO IN LOVE ! I RECENTLY DREAMED OF HIM.IT FELT SO REAL.I BELIEVE HE IS MY SOUL MATE! HIS PERSONALITY...THAT LAUGH...THAT SMILE! HE IS THE COOLEST MAN ON THE PLANET! Warning..if you have a boring personality...or are an idiot...you will hate this man!😂😂😂😂
@@MrBamcitobecause it was H.R from Bad Brains. Or Doug Pinnick from King's X. Or Rob Halford from Judas Priest. Or Bruce Dickinson. Or Lemmy. Or...or...
Read Noel Monk's (their manager through most of the Roth years) book. Dave's personality caused him to rarely have a relationship that lasted more than a couple weeks. Extremely talented, but offstage I can only take him in small doses when he's this hopped up.
I'd just say, "Hi Dave" then let him go, sit back and enjoy the ride. HAVEN'T GOT A PADLOCK, HAVEN'T GOT A KEY, HAVEN'T GOT A DOOR SO YOU CAN'T SHUT ME. 💜💙💜💙💜
If you can’t keep up or get his “rambling” which is an explosion of real wisdom which you can’t seem to recognize, you’re the one with the problem, not him. His exposition on attaining excellence through relentless hard work is so lost on today’s fast, cheap culture. That’s why we will probably never have another Van Halen.
Aye. He puts it in an entertaining way. Which is perhaps also the way it should be, if anyone's to follow a neigh endless path. It's either entertaining or it's not worth following. So you've got to make tough stuff entertaining somehow, if you want to go that way.
David's animal companion was an Australian Cattle Dog commonly called a Blue Heeler. An innate behaviour they possess is the nipping at the heels of flocking animals to get them moving, a thing myself and my Sister learned real quick as a kid which didn't exactly tickle either. Interesting interview, Cheers :-)
if Ozzy Osbourne had mixed his drugs a little more carefully I'm sure both he and Dave could have a conversation that, as it sped up, would spin until it opened a black hole and destroyed the universe..
I cant believe this guy has held himself together all these years. He could play a heck of a nut case in the movies. He is in the great tradition of Jewish vaudeville.
Re: The Blue Man Group. The Residents have been around since 1972 and still no one knows who they are. Three of the original members have left or died, and when the one remaining original member goes, they will continue on, no one will even think to question.

Why can I sit and listen to him for hours???!!!!😂🤣 Dave is great!!!!!
My Tocayo! 😊 I'm a biased rock guitarist stuck in the 80s, I LOVE MY EDDIE VAN HALEN!

Greatest rock front man ever..intelligence unquestionable..Jewish
Easy to be yourself when you don’t have to worry about holding down a job.
DLR is one of the most fascinating people on earth.
Great talker, smooth, and notoriously hard to work with.
If someone asked me to point to a person who best personified what America is....I would point to this man
What a treasure we have in DLR. A living cornucopia of stories and tales!
64 and still cool as Hell, we love ya Dave.
Agree.
Dave 69....70 this 10th October 24.....same as me, without the rockstar vibe though😂
Dave is freakin Awesome! What a cultured individual!
I wish I had his energy, wisdom, and talent, too!!
He talks the way Eddie plays guitar! Lol.
31:46 = ha ha, guitar solo!
Haha that's pretty good!
Ya funny tho
His exact words. About Ed. What he does with his hands I wanna do with my voice and feet
I love DLR!! He says some of the funniest things and has so many great one liners. Trying to keep up with Dave is like chasing a 6 year old after they got into a six pack of Mtn. Dew!! Man he is all over the place. So much energy!! Such a rich life he has lead. His stories are so fun and he is such a blast 😂
I think he does alot of cocaine 🤷 Lol
What your really saying is he's completely full of shit, but yeah I like him too.
David Lee Roth is awesome! The world is a better place with Diamond Dave.
Dave is the only person where I can join anywhere in the conversation and its interesting
Dave is awesome, he makes you want to live life at 100%
Absolutely! Great point!
Dave, you are the man. Thank you for making the 80s cool. Much love and more respect.
Dave is Dave! You either love him or hate him but there ain't no ignoring him. Keep on livin' Dave while your haters swim in bitter creek.
LMFAO..
Yes.
I'm gonna go with love him! May you live til 120, Dave! Ad mea v'esrim!!!!!
Men are just boys with bigger toys.
I love the guy!!!

Bipolar for sure
Dave is clearly running the show. He should have his own late night TV show
he and Stu COpeland should have a show
Mind blowing. Definitely a giant. No brown m&m's! Dave is so vast.
Diamond Dave is the best interview ever. Period.
what a creative mind ,,,,verbal genius ) I love dave.
Are you kidding, this guy is so much fun to listen.
He laughs at his own jokes and he was a sexy beast back in the early VH days! I

Great choice of words ...SEXY BEAST. Lol.
Roth has this amazing way of entertaining himself.

Totally captivating and thought provoking. So cool to listen to Dave ramble on and educate through his experience
I never get tired of listening to DLR. Always entertaining to the max!
DLR was one of the best frontmen EVER....what a great showman
Those kicks in the air! And jump splits from the stage....❤❤😍😍😍😍😍😍
WOW. Diamond Dave. One of the best to ever do it. Legendary. 🙌🏻
dealmaven123
Diamond does NOT need anyone to interview him,he can just yack away all on his own and have THE best time. He is a classic. So entertaining.
Dave you are awesome Dude! Always enjoy your interviews! Greatest rock frontman ever!
Dave is well read and super smart. He can spin a yarn with the best of them.
I am impressed, He actually has been there, done that.
“Come on Dave, give me a break “.... One break coming up!!!!!! He’s definitely living his best life.... He’s a talker, that’s for sure......
Dave probably sits at home alone eating breakfast having the exact same conversations with himself. the fact that there is an interviewer there is irrelevant. the man loves to talk.
You sound jealous of him or a criticiser, the man is a happy person and he's talkitive, some folks are like that, he's not the only one.
Dave cracks himself up.
I used to think that too but he's in the ring right now doing his thing, when he's out of the spotlight he's truly out of the spotlight. Dave's a complicated guy.
Hahahahaha ,oh man that's funny ,hahahaha,good one.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣talking and laughing machine🤣🤣
Who needs caffeine, just watch a podcast of DLR every morning.
😂😂😂I was there...Before the Interview DAVID ate a pound of Coca Leaves .😂✌
It’s like David is always on coke but he’s not So intense I love it. Living legend
He acts like he's on coke, but coke does not make you a talker, I know so.
He acts like he's on coke, but talks like if he has a few drinks instead.
He's not ??
@@davidtrevino5211 I don't think so!
@@326cher Ok.!!!!
Acts like he is on coke lol....
Dave and Ted Nugent have similar personalities. After all the years in Rock and Roll they still are full of pep. And so into life and having fun.
He is an amazing person in his talent and most of all his heart! Just a terrific person!
Dave's talent is observing, learning, then surviving.
This guy does stream of consciousness talking like a master🤠very entertaining.
Your music is pure magic. Can’t stop listening!
Martial Arts came through on the early 80 's on stage. Great background for stage. Loved it. Amazing.
Legend
DLR and Sebastian Bach could keep me entertained for hours.
I love you David!! You are beautiful! I love you Van Halen!! FOREVER!!
Dave cracks himself up....always....
How did Eddie and Alex ever talk to him about anything?
Ha ha classic 🤣
Let's write a song...OK eh eh eh eh gr8
Greatest entertainer ever. He said in a documentary on one occasion about Sammy Hagar..... "Sam is always looking for the party..... I am the party. " Boom!
Bullshit, Sammy is a musician, Dave is shot.....🍁
Marilee Erickson Vh1 and 1984 are both 10x platinum EACH. Those two albums combined sold more than every Van Hagar album combined. Roth solo has more platinum albums than Hagar platinum albums. Numbers speak for themselves.
netnole Dave is great but never as successful as Sammy Hagar solo career.. and also could not deliver VH a number one album like Sammy could ...
@@thefonzkiss Dlr solo career became a joke while Sammy solo career carries on. Dlr became a beggar to EVH to be back on the band. Van halen álbuns were bought because of the guitar.
Just got into the first 2 Van Halen albums, trying to learn them on guitar....quite the endeavor! Great interview, Lipps!!
Those first 2 albums are masterpieces. I thought the 1st one was their best for while. But as I kept listening that 2nd album, I think that's their best album. There's not one badd song on it. I'm a guitar player too. I usually don't reply to a comment but I had to on this one. Bottoms up👍🎸🤙
Awesome 'interview', Dave's great!
The interviewer seems like he is uncomfortable with the cool vide from Dave ..... keep going Dave your my hero dude and I’m 42!
DLR in rare form and what an awesome interview - MORE LIPPS!
Never a loss for words…
The interviewer asked maybe 5 questions to DLR. And Diamond Dave took over the show!! Loved it.
"I bought a book on head injuries, but I lost it"
DAVES' MIND IS IN OVERDRIVE! I LOVE IT!❤❤❤❤❤❤
DLR is so entertaining to watch and listen to...I just love him!!!
I've known people like Dave.. Extremely extrovert.. Life of the party.. Don't need grog or drugs to have a good time.. High on life.
Ritalin is his choice of Drug

I saw the Fair Warning tour in 1981 when i was 16, thats all i care about.
What a great tour to see, jealous

Nice!
corvettebmw yep I was also at that that show in 81. I also saw them on the Van Halen 2 tour....amazing
David, you are looking really great!
pekiteo looks like Billy Bob Thornton
He's FINALLY the cool old man his younger self was hoping he'd turn out to be. I HONESTLY believe that.

Get him while you can folks. They’ll never be another one like him. DLR
Don't let his flamboyance and tom foolery fool you into thinking this is not a highly intelligent and articulate man
Very smart guy Dave is.
Yes .. he's well read. He's sort of loud and out there .. but he has plenty of knowledge in that head of his.
@@IanBillen sure does. Just ask
Him.
@@JWTiny Ha Ikr .. can't argue there. I enjoy seeing him 'interview' Eddie Van Halen and Alex Van Halen (

Man, I would love to sit down DRL - what a dream come true!
I would be speechless that's for sure! Mais oui,ouh là là!
Always a great interview subject - he was severely *under* rated as Howard Stern's replacement on 92.3...
What a great interview!
so great of David, going on a small podcast

If you interview DLR. just nod and smile.
Haha gotta love Dave!
LOVE David Lee Roth! and just a side note..the craziest guy in my home town name is Scott Lipp lol..this interview was great !!
DLR is the best storyteller ever
If you have an hour to get to the point lololol
@@JWTiny is the time of the day you get to
The host has probably said one word to Dave’s 500 words.
Love you Diamond Dave 💎
5 minuts listening, and I believe I've had enough Dave for the rest of the decade

How can you not smile listening to Dave...just listen and imagine him as 80s Dave
Dave was born a star🌟🌟🍾
He's the most interesting guy in the world... go ahead, ask him.
He really is though
Nice Rickles reference :)
Oh yes. Please ask him. He will tell you,,,, a Mt Kilimanjaro

I now understand why he drives Eddie bonkers.
Yeah, like Eddie's a prize. Read the stories about him. Like a self centered little kid.
RIP Eddie but he was just as wacky as Dave but in a different way.
Love to see Scott Lipps on Dave's podcast !
Love to listen to Grandpa Dave's happy adventures!
David's animal companion was an Australian Cattle Dog commonly called a Blue Heeler. An innate behaviour they possess is the nipping at the heels of flocking animals to get them moving, a thing myself and my Sister learned real quick as a kid which didn't exactly tickle either. Interesting interview, Cheers :-)
Great dogs
This guy is vaudeville alive in 2020!
10 Minutes. More than enough!
Standup for David Lee Roth his own series
if Ozzy Osbourne had mixed his drugs a little more carefully I'm sure both he and Dave could have a conversation that, as it sped up, would spin until it opened a black hole and destroyed the universe..
1981 Dave split kicks off the drum riser EVH shredding lightning Alex bringing the BOOM and Anthony calling the thunder
