David Lee Roth - "Shoo Bop"

[slucerotoo]

man that midget eating the donut looks like EVH... 

[ulizinho]

when will Diamond Dave finally be awarded with the Nobel Prize for cool sexyness (or was it sexy coolness??) ????

[buddyontheweb]

I must admit, some of these dance moves are just odd but mesmerizing. They remind me of James Brown or a young MJ. Just a thought.

[lighhtningking]

whos the guy eating a doughnut????

[lighhtningking]

pause at 0:01 then go to the van halen music video for pretty woman and pause the pretty woman music video at 3:32 . same house. same exact shot

[twistedvincent]

@lighhtningking  GOOD CALL!!!

Fucking Amazing!!!

[fortheloveoftunes]

2:04 hey that´s my dance dude! .-)

[LanciaTurbo]

James LoMenzo ftw!

[panther029]

ur the best mate ......more more !!!!!!

[deanevil]

his house is tiled thruout black and white just the same as a freemason temple!!quite ironic i would say and very coinciental for the video

[TheHockeyCentral]

It's not a wig he's wearing.  But his hair is bleached.

[panther029]

......wot a bloke .....mate plezzzzze do some more contempoory stuff ....this world needzya! .....Dave u r the best ! any chance of doin more material ...C'mon man u and steely dan are so quiet thesse days.....and a trip to Bournemouth would be lush

[lighhtningking]

1:35 looks like this calls for a sexy party lol

[TheRoth69]

@wolfdude186 its a joke resembling his first video, yankee rose...

[aimrawk]

Cool song funky vid I like it ! Thanks Dave we love you up here in Vancouver . Cheers

[minnbassman]

Is this his house? i've seen it in at least 2 other videos. If it is, it looks like the ultimate party house.

[dropdeadlegs54]

@minnbassman Its definately his house in Pasadena, the only reason why I know is because he has an art installation on one of the walls in this clip - its the front section of his old car (an Opel Cadet wagon) with half a stuffed deer sticking out of it ....its called 'My first Deer'....he shot alot of his 'no holds Bar-B-Q' vid there too amongst other things - good for a tax break I suppose - 'home business' ??? Its intersting to see him doing Kendo (sword fighting)

[123awsom]

with or without van halen dave always will be # 1 go dave go

[scott630]

eh just another Tuesday at the Roth household.

[rockernroll101]

david is a creature of habit

[zoomadood]

I cut this. Dave is the best.

[askmass]

MexicanJulio got a big crush goin' on for fat Sam the pretender, it is quite apparent... but, at least he admits to being a love struck fool!

[motleycrue24]

people need to relize that you cant take dave seriously he was just about having fun and having a good time while being laid back thats why everyone loves him plus me

[twostix67]

great song,, mad video,,, god i miss diamond dave,,, do you remember when music was fun!!!! fuck U2 and saving the planet,, gimme a beer and some ROTH and roll and lets restart the party

[123awsom]

this is a great album song shoo Bop of the" DIAMOND DAVE" titled album made in 2003

[ladyluckLove32]

what a weird video, i love it,....

[Hunkola]

This appears to have been filmed at Dave's mansion in Pasadena --- aka "Rothwood"

[TheMexicanJulio]

@Hunkola Doesnt matter where it was fiimed....THE LYRICS ARE ABSOLUTELY SHIT. He should take some writing lessons from someone with real talent....maybe Hagar could teach him a thing or two...........

[lelandvampire]

@TheMexicanJulio dave didnt write these lyrics, its a cover song from the steve miller band or something like that. so maybe someone can teach you a thing or two

[TheMexicanJulio]

@lelandvampire OK my bad.....maybe just him choosing to do this song is bad enough.......I only watched it for a laugh anyway......the worst part is he wasnt going for laughs with the music only with the unfunny rediculous video. What a shame that the best frontman of the 80's turned into such a buffoon.

[lelandvampire]

@TheMexicanJulio yeah diamond dave kinda went down hill but its still better than the music that comes on the radio nowadays ( linkin park, nickelback, lady gaga, ect.)

[theZoftime]

David lee roth, fucking mental case lol. love it!

[supatones]

DLR is pure Mr Showtime.. so entertaining just to listen to him speak let alone perform, Dave co-wrote every VH song he ever recorded, awesome lyricist, amazing performer always giving 110 no less. Dave deserves way more credit than he gets..I wish he would go back and record with Vai again.

[daakuivory]

O____o;

[BLUESPOSER]

GREAT SHOWMAN!!!!!!!!

[MrMaddog64]

Dave has consistently rocked, even if a few of his solo albums werent commercially successfuf, unlike Van Halen III which totally sucked!!! ( Gary Cherone) I hope they get back in the studio and give us some more great summer jams!!!!

[lelandvampire]

@MrMaddog64 van halen 3 was ok, gary cherone had some good stuff on there

[TheMexicanJulio]

This song exemplifies DLR's bisexuality. He was a true rock God......then his head got bigger than the arenas he performed in. For those of you who say Eddie forced him out in '85 you couldn't be more wrong. Dave left thinking he was to good to true and over the fact Eddie wanted to be know as a "pure musician" and not just a guitar player.....that fact is documented although I have not been able to find the clip on youtube. "C'mon Dave gimme a break" and go away already!!!!

[mystereojones]

You gotta give Dave credit for doing things that people could only dream of. This guy is one heck of a character.

[hemi214]

@MrUSAJAY Agreed. Ah yes, the 80's. Those of us who were alive and addicted to coke understand completely.

[hemi214]

@MrUSAJAY Stupid argument. You have no idea what kind of ass he's pulling even today, but one thing is for damn sure, he's seen, touched, licked, and fucked more pussy than all of us on this stupid thread ever will in our entire lives combined times 10.

[MIXERPILOT1]

I dunno man, fame and money go a long way....look at Hugh Hefner. However, I do agree that the song is lacking.

[MIXERPILOT1]

He probably can.....he's probably had more ass than toilet seat.

[lelandvampire]

does anyone know who that weird guy eating the donut is?

[ROOKTABULA]

Looks like Ed VH to me.... The over bite especially

[Almuric7]

Bought this album before hearing it, that's something I only do with a few artists. Dave pretty personifies unique. Personally I love the Van Halen reunion, but the solo career was less predictable, and for me more fun because of that.

[PS3EVH]

I've just realised that this hallway with the check tiles and arches was used in the VH Pretty Woman video!

[Hunkola]

Dave belongs in Van Halen......they are known as the "Mighty Van Halen" when he's in the band.

[Jmurray5150]

Sure, the Diamond Dave album wasn't his best, but this lil' Steve Miller cover had THE most smokin' groove, you just can't deny!

[darksith36]

Goes to show you why dave needed to go back to van halen lol.

[lelandvampire]

this song was kinda droll and had no pop to it and who's that wierd lil guy eating the donut?

[AndJusticeForMe]

Complete garbage.

[DarkieBC]

For me, David Lee Roth is the greatest of all frontmans. His interviews are so amazing ahah. He always put a smile on my face

[thecragenator1]

Dave does not care what we think yes he has receeded but he does not care why would you he still rocks pulls in hot women and has fun, and I would not care either he is a rock legend and even when he is 80 he will be pulling in hot chicks

[Tsiart]

Diamond Dave would be better off completely bald like Mr. Clean than wearing whatever is on his head in this video. I love Dave though, and the video and song are cool.

[ThePunkin76371]

lol david lee roth

times

[stripes5150]

Van wig Roth....lol

[mrentertainment43]

George Washington had a wig. He also chopped down a cherry tree and threw a coin across the Potomac. However, he never fronted the greatest rock n roll band of all time...Quiet Riot.

[Almuric7]

Dave doesn't ever do the expected, and yes I bought this album without hearing it because I knew it'd be something different. I like the album but loved the previous one more.

To the guys saying it's a wig: why wouldn't he wear a full one?

[MrMaddog64]

This was a great album, I got it just for this song, but liked the whole thing!!!

[johncopey]

David Combover Roth

LOL

LOL

[zoedeq]

Yeah Steve miller

[mrFrankinberry]

I love this groove... great song... great video with cultural references across the world ... DLR kicks everything!~

[SturmWolfe]

Wow, horrible.

He hasn't changed a bit.

[johncopey]

OOh, I love a man in a wig!

[EmptyShell4u]

Sorry not a Wig man, just very bleached here.

[frenchfriesandpotato]

Great song originally done by The Steve Miller Band.

[pushprod]

LOL, this was a huge hit in an alternate universe. #1 for a whole year and a half!!! I know, I was there!

[stevieVantanna]

You don't like this song?

[jaybman]

Cool version of this tune.... wild video! At least there's one classic rocker who's still creative, not just hashing out the same old songs over and over (I'm looking in your direction, Eagles...)

[tommyhyde]

I dig this tune.

[viperfishsasori]

David loves his midgets.

[Al1ceC00per]

I would say that other than the last ten years, he has had a great solo career. Nunber 1 hits, the whole deal. C'mon people... pay attention this is history.

[johncopey]

Dave`s wig LMAO

[sholstein]

If you read the info about the video, it says Dave launched a "Wildly successful solo career" after departing Van Halen. I wouldn't exactly call Dave's solo effort "wildly succesful"

[raggajones12]

Dave was all over MTV and the radio after he left VH. He stayed popular for a while .

[geminidavies]

he did have some kick ass bands though. Steve Vai, Billy Sheehan, Gregg Bisonette....

wow!

[ratevideos]

Dave's first 4 solo albums went platinum including his EP,Crazy Fom The Heat.

[johncopey]

Dave`s hair

LMAO

[BayAreaLen]

Sammy could kick dave's frail ass.

[VictorGuilherme]

Maybe in another reality, yes, he could...

[gizzerd66]

dave used to be cool. but now he is worthless washed up piece of shit.

[johncopey]

Does Dave sleep with that wig on?

[cdwillis]

That fried mop is his real hair. He looks a lot better with his clean short look now than he did around this period.

[dplanefilms]

Diamond Dave is all about having fun. Interesting video and it shows him having a good time.

[BayQueen2]

Dave is so HOT!!!

[evh5150316]

Is or was?

In this video he looks like he should have a Delorean in his garage ready to go to 88 mph.

[shieldsuma]

that was worse than the poorest effort from van hagar

[classic7890]

Songs not bad. DLR was never afraid to stray into uncharted waters. The video? Can`t decide whether it`s visually creative or an overdose of technicolors.

[johncopey]

Did Dave do the right thing by cutting his hair short?

[dhgfkj1]

oh my god i like david lee roth but that song was just HORRIBLE

[merics71]

Now Then Now Then....Jimmy Savile looks better each and every year! Has he fixed it for you and you and you???

[rack5150]

David Lee Roth is just DAMN FUN. I'd love to party with him. Only one "Diamond Dave" & you're looking at him!

[ratevideos]

They filmed that same hallway at Daves house in the Pretty Woman video when Dave is pacing back and forth but the walls where white.

[johncopey]

Does anyone think Dave will grow his hair, like this, now he`s back in Van Halen?

[gizzerd66]

dave used to be cool. but now he is worthless washed up piece of shit.

[ratevideos]

You copy and paste this same thing on a lot of Roth videos. Dave is back in VAN HALEN and their tour grossed $93,000,000,thats doesn't sound like he's washed up at all.

[18UTE85]

i heart this

hahaha im 100 percent naked right now RD

[Kittens38]

His bodyguard and co-host from his radio show is in this Animal...big scary guy. Nice guy in real life.

[Xavienne]

Perfect music for a slow comfortable screw. The plaid outfit needs to be thrown on a BBQ somewhere and doused with lighter fluid though...

[Huckf113]

Where is Dave in the video?

[Xavienne]

I seriously hope you're kidding...

[evh5150316]

Do we have enough road to get up to 88 Doc?

[Lunarsight]

(ROFL) So utterly terrible, that's actually entertaining. =)

[Huckf113]

Hey Dave, that wig is you, you`ll get some tail tonight for sure, tell us how you dooooo.

LOL.

[surfsno2008]

horrible. makes me want to vomit.

dave in vh sure, dave with eat em smile sure.

but this is laughable and should be hidden from us.

[Peruanas0]

shut- up, sub-normal

[foreverlaughing21]

the 3 girls in this vid dancing behind him are triplets and one happens to be married to one of Dr. Phil's sons.

[yumyumcat]

Dave is so hot! He can do anything. I betcha Sammy Hagar couldn't pull that off :)

Go Dave baby! xox

[wjv4me]

Isn't this a Steve Miller song off his "Joker" album-sounds like it.

Diamond Dave RULES!

[spawnofwheezedog]

yeah its a cover of Shubada du ma ma ma.

[GooBooFilms]

that's dave?? he looks so different

[motleycrue24]

what cant dave do

[evh5150316]

Id like to know what Dave's obsession with glazed donuts is?

[supermanplays3rdbase]

A piece of ass, the hole and Glaze, come on!

[supermanplays3rdbase]

That's what a Glazed Donut is, lol

[spawnofwheezedog]

it goes great with a bottle of anything!

[leahloveslola]

I saw Van Halen with David in Cedar Rapids Iowa in around 88-89 don't remember many drinks since then...hahaha and he climbed 25 foot speakers and did all kinds of athletic things jumping kicking and he topped it all off riding a giant microphone bull rider style!! Go Dave go and he is so hot...liked the new video enjoyed the bands amends!! Keep on keeping on!!

[Tonycpope]

bull$#!% dude,

Dave Left Van Halen in 84,

and came back just the end of last year.

you saw'em with "Sammy Hagar"

[leahloveslola]

NO...I think I remember who I saw..maybe not the correct year though...IDIOT!!! Guessing you know this from google and that you were not even born in 84 by your rude attiTUDE!!!!! Alas a class act like DLR YOU WILL NEVER BE!! Move on.......dismissed!

[leahloveslola]

SUCK IT!!! YOU WERE NOT EVEN BORN IN 80'S ANYWAY SO MOVE ON I KNOW WHO I SAW IN CONCERT...DAVE...MAYBE JUST NOT THE CORRECT YEAR..UNLIKE YOU WHO KNOWS WAY TOO MANY FACTS....I ENJOY MY LIFE AND YUP DLR WAS FANTASTIC RIDING THE MIC!!! SUCKA'S you suck Tony C. Pope!!!!! Karma is a biatch..and she's a comin' for ya!!! hahaha CHOMP!!! : )

[jerseymontmorency]

CRAP

[evh5150316]

But what I'd really like to know is....from 0:00 - 0:04....why is Doc Brown there and not in his Delorean?

[evh5150316]

If Sammy did this...I'd hate to see what people would say....but when Dave does it....it's genius......wow....

The song actually isn't that bad....but this video....my god....Dave....thank God you're back with Ed....

[Huckf113]

Is Roth a gay, never seen with a woman, never married and no kids!

[Tonycpope]

sorry buddy but your a gay!

[LUTS67]

Sorry dude. He has a daughter.

[wjv4me]

I think she's not real-a poser. Double check, she's also a sleazy stripper.

[BurnRoddy]

There are 4 hotties on this video man.If you mean woman he has been sexually involved just go to Pasadena and ask around to see what you find. It is rumored this and that, but there's people that say the guy has been with 5,count them 'f i v e' women on the same bed at the same time.He just isn't a retarded asshole like nowdays you sleep with somone next morning everybody knows it.

[Revolucionario02]

coooooool!!!!!!!! :)

[zosothebelly]

I've always found him divinely self-ironic!

[Huckf113]

Is that a wig? LOl

[Pantokraterix]

This video is the most fun I've had sitting at my desk.

[spawnofwheezedog]

i also love the guitar tone here

[spawnofwheezedog]

this is a great cover! dave rules!

[Icepacalapse]

DLR was born with the pimp gene much like shatner or burt reynolds.

It cannot be removed.

[Huckf113]

Lads, does Dave sleep with that wig on? LOl

[spawnofwheezedog]

dave looks so much older with the white rag on his head. thank you rogaine!

[lespaul72]

love him or hate him daves very inventive and creative and alot of fun

[lespaul72]

the bass player is the dude who was in white lion and now BLS james lorenzo or something.also is it just me or does the guy in the white wig and glasses look like eddie van halen

[drewster11]

that checkered floor is the same one as in the "Pretty Woman" video. Must be Dave's pad.

[FORDCOUNTRY7885]

Yeah, it's Dave's house in Pasadena. This video is part of something called the No Holds BBQ. It was intended to be a full length DVD, but I don't believe it was ever released officially. It's pretty widely bootlegged though.

[ratevideos]

I heard he sold it at his shows on the 02 tour. I used to have it and most of it is pretty cool but there are a few strange parts in it.

[Huckf113]

Does anyone know Dave`s a closet wig wearer?LOL.

[bloodoverexodus69]

haha they coming to melbourne in australia yeah man?

[dunskie]

I saw him with VH in Boston two weeks ago. He was UNREAL. The whole show was killer. Don't miss it kiddies. I'm telling you.

[pourmeone2]

but does it stand up to the 1984 tour? do they have the same chemistry as back in the day?

[dunskie]

I can't speak for 84. HOWEVER, I did see them at The Worcster Centrum in 1982 for the "Hide Your Sheep Tour". This one was better. Back then they were unbelievably goofy. This time, all buisness(well,mostly) and the music was so powerful and tight. Wolf blew mr away with his vocals. They were just awesome. In rare form.

[Guitarman5150]

Little do you know they are using tapes for vocals. I have heard from scources I can't name.

[FORDCOUNTRY7885]

A couple of fucking idiots at VH Links doesn't count as "sources".

Those sheep are just pissed that the Van HALEN reunion was a success, and the Van Hagar thing in 2004 was a total abortion.

[Jeari]

Isn't this a Steve Miller Tune by the really name of "Shu Ba Da Du Ma Ma Ma Ma"? Hmmm, I still like the groove... Steve's is pretty darn Good to, and that's why Dave covered it!

[Kittens38]

His bodyguard Animal is in the video. We met him at the Ritz when they played in Cleveland. Cool guy.

[Kittens38]

I watched this video the other day and can not get it out of my head..that sexy, wacky David Lee.

[11111phil11111]

OMG

[deerecub1977]

he lives life and has more money than most people,not quite a loser.and besides anybody notice sammy is getting pudgy

[thetondage]

diamond dave still kickin' ass. cool song, cool video, and a little person. i love it!

[lisamengland]

Dave looks GREAT!!!!  I've Loved him since 1977 and will love him for ever!!!

[jimmynorton10]

Dave'd lid looks awesome...not, Edgar Winter looks better than him these days

[MRGXX64]

A Classic "Steve Miller Band" Song. Covered by Diamond Dave himslf !!!!! Yehaaaahhh !!!!

[soundofpwnage]

hope new van halen is a bit funky,like this..anytime ed got away from power chords, he smoked.

[PwettyMoi]

this is so tupid and wierd suck this u motha fucker!!!

[gizzerd66]

roth is nothing but a worthless peice of washed up (has been) shit

[trevorsept24]

david lee is one of the best performers in rock. he's got more talent in one of his ass cheeks than you will ever have. & gets mre pussy than you will ever see in your lfe, dumb ass

[goobectomy]

When did Roth front for Steely Dan?

[stevieVantanna]

it does remind ya of Steely dan (of course it's steve miller)

I love this sound.

[gravyguy05]

That's because it is a cover/re-mix of that Steve Miller Band song.

[bsouthe]

DAVE IS GOD!!!!!!!!!

[lites5150]

marts500, I note that you did not include "singer"

[CHILIGAN]

Poor song...BUT HE'S A MAISTRO!!!

[uefachampionsleague]

Song sucks

[duster71]

Rock on Dave.
