After listening to this interview, every other band in the world seems dull. Diamond Dave's throwing a party & you're all invited!!!!! Classic VH 4ever!!!!!
I remember this interview so distinctly ! Recorded it ,and thought it was the coolest thing ever ...lol .Brought the tape to school the next day and played it for all my friends .Dave was beyond cool
Thanks for posting this! Listening to this now brings back great memories. I listened to this show on the night it was originally broadcast. The best part of this show is that Dave and Alex never give a straight answer.
Thanks for posting this. I remember the excitement of waiting for this and then listening and taping it. I still have the tape, somewhere, but I haven't heard it in 31 years!!
Dave what a frontman/vocalist/entertainer.I bet if he knew that over 3 decades later (that's thirty years btw) that he would be in VH and have his cool sounding voice going out on him and us fans he would've taken better care of it.Regardless or irregardless as Dave would say I am very happy I saw dlr VH twice so far and both shows were way better than the 2 times I've seen hagar VH
Oh wow, I remember hearing this when it first aired! Great memories of listening to KLOS in so cal on a school night. Should have been doing my homework but this was time better spent. I remember them joking about Ed not being there because he was 'off making a record with his boyfriend Michael Jackson..'. Ha.
its quite funny hearing a fan complain about the long delay in the release of the album 1984 (caller from the 84 interview). Diver Down was released April 1982 and 1984 released January 1984. nowadays 5 years can be normal depending on the band.
1:40 "Look deep, deep into your radio - you're getting sleepy - take your clothes off". Diamond Dave sounds exactly like Howard "Dragon Boy Suede" Kremer on Who Charted... (or is that the other way around?)
Sounds like Mark Goodman, one of the original MTV VJ's, doing the interview. I remember hearing an interview around this time where Dave says something about Michael Anthony having a "line." If this is the same interview, I was just thinking of it yesterday for some reason, so this would be a bit weird, lol.
Dave & Al, Alway"s Chilled, Hung Out 2gether At This Point, They Been 2gether Almost 10 Year"s & Dave"s Interview" Went From VH 1, 2 Woman, Fair Warn, He Alway"s Ammusin, & Stayed Somewhat With Question !!!! After Diver Down, Skip Year, & 1984, Alway"s Still Amusin, But Went On His Krazy Tangent"s !!!! Ted Templeman, & Don, Bought Em Along & Read Ted"s Book On How Sammy Pushed His Way In !!!! Aerosmith, Damn Stone"s Did"nt Talk For Almost 5 yrs, Let Em Get It Outta Their System & They Woulda Continued !!! Stay Strong....Peace

Godspeed #bobcoburn this was my favorite interview as a kid listening to it live as it happened!
I used to have this on tape! wow. I listened to it live and threw in a tape.
monkface Lol me too on cassette! Lmfao..
I love how the host is on the edge of losing his patience trying to keep these rapscallions in line.
Maybe the funniest interview ever recorded, band or otherwise.
Thanks for all comments . One day I'll upload VH Rockline 1984 where a female snuck into the radio station and stripped her clothes off for them.
SWEETFA24 Lol i had that interview on cassette also!
Have you uploaded that one? It's more than 4 years later.. I'll check out your channel. VH 4 ever.
@@DVincentW yes I did
Hows come rock bands aren't fun and witty like this anymore. I guess these guys stole it all
So true where have all the good times gone?
Good ol' Rock and Roll Soldiers!! Where have all the good times gone?
If there is a more entertaining interview in the history of rock I wanna hear it.
I'd not mind hearing one with Dingle Van Halen too, would you?
DLR with Jim Ladd. It's on YT. 1980 or 81. GREATEST EVER. trust me
I saw Van Halen for the first time on April 16, 1986, at the Carolina Coliseum in Columbia, SC. Bachman Turner-Overdrive opened.
Thanks for posting this. I remember the excitement of waiting for this and then listening and taping it. I still have the tape, somewhere, but I haven't heard it in 31 years!!
Awesome thanks for the upload #DLR2020 👍
This made my morning...THANK YOU!!
That "interview" is legendary!
I talked this off the station they mentioned at the beginning WCOZ Boston
This is awesome.
I love Van Halen v1! Sorry Sammy :)
inciting a riot, that's what I was charged with in Cincinnati..I just remembered.
Best front man ever hope your health is all good

As soon as they started and were laughing I knew it was because of Mr Roboto interview guy.
