I'm not really a fan of Van Halen. I mean, like I respect Eddie's talent even though I think he's gotta be the biggest tool in the industry. I think David Lee Roth has to be one of the craziest people in the public eye. Like he's actually bat shit crazy. And one of hte greatest examples of this is when he went back and sang all the lyrics to his solo album back in 86 completely in Spanish. The Buddyhead MP3 blog has a link to Yankee Rose in Spanish and I agree with those guys, you really have to listen to Diamond Dave babble his way through a song in a language you don't understand to fully appreciate how loony he really is. Here's the mp3.
I think just the fact he decided to do a call response with the guitar in the beginning (where the guitar sees a hot chick and tells Dave to look at her) is grounds for being institutionalized. Thank god he's not though cos now we get to watch him drag his carcass across America on the trainwreck that will be the Van Halen reunion. I wonder what the over/under in Vegas is on DLR incuring a jump-kick related injury this time out.
