I hope everyone understands what Dave’s doing here… these are snippets of a Dave/Van Halen biography… and it’s great. When you listen to Dave’s descriptions, underneath it is a deep brotherhood and relationship between the two of them, that only THEY had with one another. As someone who works in the movie business and has lived in LA/The Valley his whole life, I lived all of this. I knew people that knew Eddie, I knew girls that dated Alex and I worked on plenty of rock concerts and videos. It’s all true. Dave’s refreshing uncensored recollections don’t take anything away from the talent Ed was… it just proves he was a man… who was fallible, impressionable and a victim of circumstances that were the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s in LA. What a time… great stuff Dave…

Dave is just illuminating that unlike Sam, he and the Brothers were actually "brothers from different mothers." Sam walked into a band that was already crafted by hand. Dave and the Brothers had to bootstrap themselves from nothing. Remember, Dave's dad had money but his childhood wasn't set up for him. He was kicked out of his mom's house and bounced around the east coast and finally in Altadena.

poor dlr; contrary to Sammy Hagar he couldn't have a successful solo career after VH; it's just like those boxers that were champions in their youth but instead of quitting at the top insisted on ridiculize themselves when they get old. He clearly can't sing and resorts to "reciting".

@DonVintaggio I saw Dave on Eat em and Smile and Skyscraper HEADLINER tours. Saw Sammy solo backup ZZ Top on his I can't drive 55 tour. Dave was a headliner, Sammy solo was basically always a backup band. Fail, try again.

I think Dave & his Mom had some rough times!! I'm a Mom to 27 year old identical twin sons & when they were young they were HYPER-CATS!!! Jumping off the couch, into a rollout. Back up onto the coffee table to do it OVER & OVER AGAIN. I was raising 2 little DLR's & losing my mind. But I never would have kicked them out of the house or said they were an accident or mistake. It breaks my heart that maybe Dave has never married because of his Mom............@@Whaddayamean13

Eddie Van Halen stories are the best stories to tell. Remember, he was just being himself, and Dave is a HELL of a story teller!!

Dave has 1 of the best speaking voices kinda like Casey Kasem 😊

I can’t get enough of this. Diamond Dave, you always were and always will be the man. Please more. Thanks Dave!

DLR is a born storyteller with an unlimited supply of stories. Great stuff.

Diamond Dave is the best frontman of all time.

universal consensus is mick jagger is the greatest frontman of all time

Dave needs to host story time parties at his Pasadena compound. I'll volunteer to manage the valet parking.

Imagine all the shit Dave isn’t telling us 😂😂😂

I'm glad to see Dave has an outlet for his creativity. Oh, and we all miss Edward too. In a different way, but we all miss him too. I have had Light Up The Sky stuck in my head today after watching Mike Portnoy play it on Alex's kit in a Modern Drummer tribute. There is a way with beauty but you never gave a love....bless ya Dave. 😄

Ok so I’m gonna take a quick drive up Coldwater in my pajamas just to make the trip back down imagining I’m operating a golf cart while listening to this.

I lived there for years. Drove by the Sportsmans Lodge countless times. Never knew it was a hotel. Just thought it was a bar.

Dave is reborn...He has mastered yet another form of entertainment...

Well Dave, you've done it again. I sat glued to your voice as you weaved in and out of what seemingly was 14 different loosely affiliatied side notes to draw up a larger picture of what was going on in a lost and discombobulated individual's life at not so certain points in time. I hung on every word, swirling from one set of mental images to the next and then all of a sudden you abruptly stopped talking. What was that? I was acutely paying attention every second of the journey but I dont think I caught much of anything. I havent gotten out the chemistry set for years I swear. Best bus driver ever.

PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING!!!!! PURE GOLD PLATINUM AND DIAMOND DAVE!!!!

This is awsome! More stories like this please 😊

Holy fck - we stayed there when I was a kid in 1969. I learned to swim in that pool. We moved into a house nearby with a river view next door to Ned Glass, who was working on the tv show Julia. (Later he was in The Godfather). He and his wife were like grandparents to me, they had two Russian tortoises named Ivan and Boris. My boyfriends mother was dating Herb Albert’s brother. Crazy to see the place again. It would be my dad to pick that place to live while we were in transition.

Love the way you express yourself Dave!! "Dave", your "Amazing"!! ❤

I can’t handle it man this is too awesome!! Twice in one week

Keep the stories coming Dave!!! =VH= FOREVER

Dave you are in my heart and as much for your solo albums as VH. The Eat ‘em & Smile album and Skyscraper are both masterpieces. Now tell me stories about the Ralph’s across the street from Sportsmans.

Grew up at that Hotel. Duck pond. Totaly different now.

These past few great memories, have been an all time CLASSIC!!! I love the way you start , do The midddle, and end these now. Good work Dave and Tom!!

Great story! Real life! Thanks for sharing!

That was a great story Dave, I wanna hear more!

Please don't stop making these! I love the Roth Show!

As always writing a comment to support the channel!

Killer Dave! ... 1-18-84 last night, 40 years ago, Jacksonville Florida, VAN HALEN 1984 Opening night.! I was there....Got any stories!!☠

This is GOLD!!!! More??? Yes please!!!!!

Dave we need another book!! With all the dirt! VH forever

The best Van Halen frontman/writer and I love your story telling ! Rock on Dave 👍🏻

Don’t ever, EVER stop!

Hoping this will be a daily thing...DLR has a lot to tell, video would be a bonus.

Fun story thanks Dave!

I just love your stories!!❤

Fabulous!!! Keep 'em comin' Dave! Yoiure the best! More, more, more!!!

All Dave needs is a microphone! He's a true rockstar no matter what he does!!!

Roth Rules 😎

Dave ,you lost a lot of weight. Please take care of yourself King David!! Love you!❤

The life of a Rock Star! Keep the stories coming . . .

Dave. These are great. 😂

David you are a legend bro. ☘

Wonderful storytelling. Insight into EVH.

DLR is truly one of a kind! He and the VH brothers were destined to make rock n roll history! Can u imagine a Van Halen without David Lee Roth??? Sam Hagar is a shit talking lowlife. Just ask Alex Van Halen who made peace with DLR, global record breaking concert tours 2007 to 2015. AL VH thinks Hagar is a bum. DLR loves life and is a guru with a deep deep soul !!!

"and she gets a mouthful too.". Dave's the greatest!!!!!!!

The perfect voice for story telling ..... We love you Dr.Dave !!!

Keep it coming Dave.. .story time with Diamond Dave is the best thing ever! Thank you good sir.

This was a dark time for Edward.. meeting Jane might have saved his life at this time.. damn I love these stories

Wow, The Sportsmen's Lodge Sounds Just Awesome, Diamond Dave😎🤘

I enjoyed his last video. Sam the Popsicle! LMAO! Fontuckey isn't the place to be.

Imagine a biopic narrated by Dave with Jump cuts and fourth wall breaking like Wolf on Wallstreet

Great stuff !

Your narrations are my favorite... nobody tells it like Diamond Dave...thank you for 46 summers of of life altering event's...

This was during cutting the 2 tracks 'Can't Get this Stuff No More' & 'Me Wise Magic' in 1996 ? To be fair Dave did a great job on the vocals there & if he & Ed had not had a daft-as-a-brush fight about Hip Replacement & done a whole new album & tour they could have conquered the world all over again.......Golf Cart in Pajamas ? ....That was Ed going up the hill to 5150 when lightning ideas would strike. ...Jumping in swimming pools from balconies was a tour sport popularized by KEITH MOON of course...The higher up the balconys were the more he would wear wellington boots when he jumped to cushion the splashdown impact.... He'd also dynamite hotel toilets, Water Bed flood hotel lobbies by sending them down in elevators, and drive around village roundabouts driving a milk float electric van dressed as Adolf Hitler...........I don't think Janie was a 'porn star' , I thought she was a Stuntwoman ?....In movies ? .......Who's Will Robinson ? Lost in Space guy ?..🤔......... 'Allegedly' ? ......🙄 Go easy on Val please . Losing Ed really upset her. Thanks.

Dave, this is a little off topic but ….please tell us the story about kayaking under the Verrazano bridge again…at night I believe..that would really rock to hear that story again 👏🏻

The greatest of all times!!!

I brought Indian Larry's Motorcycles out to California and we stayed at the Sportsman, we, SEEN, Bobby Seeger & I, great time. Had dinner at Robert Williams' house and his Nazi Helmet Collection was also on display.

Yay! Another quicky

I brought my pencil!!

I love these. Keep them comin!

Wow, look at all the great stuff you learn on The Roth Show! So that's how Eddie got involved with that adult film and met his second wife- through The Sportsmen's Lodge! Be careful what you show your kids.

That is some very insightful information with Dave's humorous dialect. Thanks!

Stayed there many times, hs reunion party there too. You are Van Halen. You, Michael, Alex, and Eddie incredible shows🙌

Dave is A National Treasure 🎉🎉🎉

“Hi, we’re Sausalito.” I think that’s what Dave was referencing when he mentioned Lost In Translation

DLR is the coolest podcaster in the world

The Porno jumped out like a monster truck commercial. Hilarious!

Dave, you and Sam need to set an example for Earth, you are leaders.

Wow. Oh Dave, quite the storyteller. Bravo
