  • This is bad*ass! Great!

  • He reminds me a little bit of Jemaine from Flight of the Concords here haha. Great video though! Sounds great!

  • cool version! Diamond Dave Rules!

    anyone know where to see a better quality/version?

  • Three-quarters of the way through a Walmart application for 'greeter' he remembered what he used to do for money. Yes, he was the soul and americana of Van Halen's songwriting but just too overt on the A-Whore behavior. Not impressed.

  • @bugietube ha ha ha Perfect.

  • @bugietube Neither am I impressed by your attempt at humour-fail.

  • @bugietube You're just jealous you libido-impaired geek.

  • Dave ROCKS !!!

  • Thanks for destroying that one.

  • No DLR, No >VH<

  • "Say hello to lil elvis muther fucker" ??

  • Awesome as ever! Go David!!!

  • WHAT A TOOL!

  • see dave puts himself out there without the intent of caring what people think...ive listen to his radio show and he would have hecklers call in and dave just pokes fun at them i love how he just is himself and if someone pokes fun at him he could care less very rare

  • fucking has been goofffballl!!!

  • Diamond David Lee...he may not be a singer, he is certainly the entertainer extraordinaire.

  • @soakthisup but his douchbag has a lot more doe then in yours and in your aids infected nutsack.

  • like the chick he has on violin...Niceeee!!!!

  • Is he wearing a wig? BALD HEADED MOTHERFUCKER

  • really mean....hoot....hoot...hoot...­.phlufp...phlufp....phlufpp!!

  • It wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for the dork with the sun glasses to the left of Roth. He looks like he belongs in a auto parts commercial.

  • Fair Warning was a hard album. This song especially. Gritty. I was really impressed with it when it came out being so dirty especially after how far they'd come. DLR is the fucking man.

  • I am not a hip hopper, but Meanstreet should be tried in Rap version, too.

  • @ulizinho Me too. Alot of his lyrics are "raps". Steven Tyler too. Dave was undoubtedly influenced by everyone he seen at his Uncle Mannys'.

  • @ulizinho fuck hip hop

  • @ulizinho He raps at the end of it live. It's not horrible.

  • SO COOL! Fair Warning is my favorite Van Halen album.

  • @gbranton Mine too

  • He was good in Van Halen but he got too big for his booties, his return to VH is nothing but a joke

  • this is awesome! yeah dave has always been a little off but eddie screwed both Dave and Sammy.

  • Thumbs up....... if you had long hair in the 80's......

    .....and every girl you met..... felt obligated to get on her knees and trace every wrinkle of your nut sack with her tongue.......

    God bless those filthy fucking whores....

    METAL!!!!!!

    .......Even the Jesus girls...needed a mouth full of ball butter....

  • at night i walk these stinkin' streets

    /watch?v­=LdE4FIYSmk8

  • gay

  • DAVE WAS JUST AS MUCH IF NOT MORE OF WHAT MADE THE GREAT MUSIC, GOD PUT THEM TOGETHER ...BECAUSE HE HAD TO... AND IT WAS GREAT

  • ANOTHER THING , HE AINT NO SEBASTIAN BACH- HELL KICK UR AZZ, AND EDDIE AND THEM DIDNT LIKE  THAT EITHER LOL

  • That blew.

  • Toshi !!!

  • MOJO DOJO -COO COO- CO CO - DONT BE A FKKN YO-YO HEHE

  • This is shit hot,fuck you kiss haha

    

  • Eddie and Dave are like best friends who had a falling out. You all know how that can be. No one wants to make amends first. Hope the New Van Halen material is good, but both these guys burned the candle at both ends homey.

  • awesome love it:)

  • Who's the guitarist in this video. He looks exactly like a friend of mine who plays guitar.

  • @TripperLV ... the Guitarist is Bart Walsh.

  • @edrad23 - Thank you! He's not my friend, but looks exactly like him. My friend and I use to play together in Las Vegas, but lost touch in the 90s. You never know.

  • I wanna do a video like this... definitely!

    Inspiring the local rock stars from the stage of the world that is David Lee's Universe! After all these years...(8

  • Where was this recorded ? Cambodia ?

  • this sucks, screw the bullshit bongos and the fake ass van halen immitators, he got to do this shit electric style

  • @impellernut

    This is better than the Van Halen version... this is all Dave...

    Say hello to little Elvis motherfucker...

  • @SirWinstoneChurchill go back to england bitch, we dont need you here. your choice of names shows you dont know shit and idolize winston churchill his fat ass caused ww2

  • @impellernut

    Fuck you and die bitch boy...

  • @SirWinstoneChurchill you limey dirtbag

  • Pretty damn cool!

  • L...S...D

  • DLH...one of the coolest mudaf&%#$ckers of all times.

  • this is why I feel Roth is underrated, as a musician. WHile he's not playing, he got great melody. He takes what EVH brought to the table, this wild guitar stuff, and made them into songs. added the writing element.

  • @BSlash24

    Dave is the Frank Sinatra of rock n roll...

  • @BSlash24 I agree as I recall not much guitar, although, maybe took it for granted my memories of VH concerts back in the late 70's through the 80's are Dave's energy, antics and improv, when he forgot the f...ing words man :-)

  • @BSlash24 What a wigger.

  • @BSlash24 yeah your right eddie is just another idiot with a guitar. dave wrote all the songs, who cares about the music. dont mind me just trolling lol

  • @br0therfrank13 not really what I was implying, but if that's the way you want to interpret it, have at it.

  • @br0therfrank13 another idiot w/ a guitar man you are trippin' why do you think the songs continued w/ Hagar, it was Eddie comming up w/ the music & writing more than Dave..what did dave do after van halen just a gigilo, paradise, none of daves songs post van halen were anythg compared to with Eddie, cause eddie was the spark & the creative one..you are talkin out your butt just like dave..dave was lucky he got w/ eddie or you never would have heard of him..case dismissed.

  • @MOSKII58 LOL I'm with you man. just having fun with this other guy whom i thought was overating Dave's talent. Dave was a good cheerleader for the band but for the most part it seemed that Dave really didn't take the music too seriously and he was just on stage posing, jumping and dancing unable to remeber half the words to the lyrics he alone wrote. I wish I could have all the VH recordings with the voclas removed. I would love to go see Eddie, Alex and Wolf pure instrumental style.

  • cool...now do it again, but with the intro.

  • over rated clown

  • That was great!

  • What year is this from?

  • Dave has without a doubt great musicially talent but I agree completey with eddie when he said that dave is a entertainer and not a musician. He really does belong in in vegas!!!

  • I love Van Halen I just wish Dave would knock off the Liza Minnelli act, you would never seen Robert Plant act like this

  • @dusty825 this dude does WHAT HE WANTS , WHEN HE WANTS, WOULDNT WE ALL LIKE TO- FK IT- I LIKE DAVE- EDDIE SHOULD  HAVE LET HIM BE THE STAR HE IS- BUT NOOOO, EDDIE SUKS - HES ALWAYS A DIK, FK HIM , HE CANT PLAY ANYMORE ANYWAY- HE LOST HIS CRAFT

  • @badhorsee Don't get me wrong I like dlr in van halen more than sammy, but he only had one good album after van halen, h needs to get back to the late 70's early 80's and drop all the lizza menelli costumes

  • I like it actually.  Didn't think I would. DLR is a better acoustic singer anyway, so I guess it makes sense.

  • the band is hot but dave thinks he is tony montana in scar face !!! say helo to my little friend ??? Nothing exceeds like excess.....and ... dont get high on your own supplies ! Great movie and so true, eh Dave ??? Lay of the Blow Bro !!!

  • Is that Rambo on harmonica?

  • @Raymond09871 .Colonel Trautman, "it's over Johnny!!, Nothing is over, Nothing, This wasn't my war, it was yours....THEY DREW FIRST BLOOD !!

  • @Raymond09871 lol

  • What year is this from?

  • cool!

  • Epic Elton John on Harmonica Failure.

    Other than that and Daves Rapping parts its good.

  • Elvis mutha fucka lol

  • some of that elvis shit mutha fucka

  • mn daves so annoying lol

  • Wow is that Sly Stallone jaming on harmonica. lol seriously Dave is cool Eddies guitar track for the original track was classis and amazeing. Man Early Van Halen with Dave was simply awesome. Dave is a also a practitioner of Kung Fu. I do Gracie jiu jitsu a different ball game but still respect any martial artist

  • Great acoustic version...I love it!

  • To all the haters, your pessimism just rolls of Dave's back cuz you know what? He's doing what he loves to do for a living. What exactly are you doing? I thought so. Rock on Diamond Dave. Rock on.

    And to RepublikaofMe thanks very much for sharing this video. Love it.

  • Was this on the gay pride parade float?

  • @richoverthere lmao

    

  • cool video......

  • Bop... bozdybozdybop! tziddy bop!

  • That chick looks like she does NOT want to be there.

  • @PoundcakePlaysMW2 if u notice she doesnt play her violin at all...so she's prob wondering WHAT she's doing there

  • lol now I know where this song truly came from

  • is there more of this set ?

  • Reading the reactions on the net i realize you can't please everyone, but i gotta say... this sounds really mean!!

    love it Dave! Now make another dynamite new VH album!

  • Dave is an 8 degree Black Belt.  Tell him to his face your bullshit. Watch his hand movements. He is a true bad ass although totally silly.

  • Im embarrased for ya Dave..!!

  • the bongo's are the bomb in here

  • Heard this song a zillion times for 20 years as the studio version. This unplugged version is really smoking I think aside from the hardcore lyrics and nut-grabbing.

  • hahaha what a nut ! They was sounding good. Dave did it acoustic justice I believe. "We are certainly not even fu%k*n close to being anything close to worthy." If you doubt me, Dave will kick your head right off your bloody shoulders.

  • DLR could have done a whole album of acoustic VH classics that could have probably sold big — if he could stop dropping the F-bomb like some some prepubescent looking to impress…

  • what is dave snorting?

  • If any girl would sleep with him just cause he's DLR, She's a tasteless little whore trying to make herself into somebody!!!!!!!!!

  • this is a cool version of this song

  • When you look up Rock Star in the dictionary, David Lee Roth's picture is there.

    Nuff said!

  • This is the biggest CRAP ever! xD

    Dave is so retarded. What happened to the 1981 David Lee Roth everybody actually did like?

    FUCK!

  • this is the absolute worst! Dave ..pack it in!

  • One thing that often goes overlooked is DLR's writing abilities. He's a damn good lyricist.

  • This is way better than him doing Jump with a bluegrass band dancing around like Richard Simmons.

    What's with the chick with the violin...I don't hear any but I guess he job is to shake her belly?

  • you guys are nuts

    this is a fine video.your knocking a superstar once he is not the current BIG thing. WHO ARE YOU GUYS ANYWAY ? u are nobodies HE IS SOMBODY,

    & a DIAMOND always shines !!!

  • DLR Rules!!!!!!!!! This is a great version.

  • the album this was made 179 on top 100 lol

  • Honestly, Roth should release a straight up blues album. His voice is pure blues.

  • Love the guy! Keep rockin' and a rollin' dave!

  • I was actually there when this was being shot. Dave did this on the tennis court that they put a ton of sand on. The next night he did the boat scene in the same area. Funniest part was he had Karen Mcdougal (pmoy) who was really into the scene and then halfway through it she got up, and went over to the pile of sand and puked her brains out. Dave's security leader was named "Sarge". He asked what she ate? She said she had a salad and 2 bottles of champagne.

  • Er...interesting but, fish out Fair Warning (vinyl preferably) turn the volume way up (11 if possible) and play mean street! When the dust settles and you've picked your jaw up off the floor THEN appraise Dave's effort. Love the guy enough to concede (quietly) that this is not one of his finest moments.

  • Comment removed

  • I love DLR...but its a good job Van Halen came along again, as since his solo career died a death around 1990, hes been tooling about looking desperate and trying to work out what to do with himself musically. This video is evidence of that. Hopefully they make a new album together.

  • really ikon, you must be fuckin kidding..............main street are you shitting me? what a complete tool you are! its MEAN STREETS FROM FAIR WARNING A-HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!............­.thats way too funny, dick bag...........you should know what you're talking about before you open up your fuck hole!

  • what? its Mean Street, R U kidding me.The album Fair Warning. C'mon Man

  • Its Mean Street. maybe your album is a misprint. Put it on ebay. It might be worth a fortune.

  • kick ass

  • are you kidden hes actin way too hard and it doesnt suit him ,lets face it hed be somebodys bitch in san quentin fuc

  • he he

  • its cool but did he shoot this on his cellphone

  • i like this, i just cant stand bongo drums

  • ITSUCKSNOEDDY

  • great

  • Awesome!

  • this is the best clip of DLR - VH. great rendition

  • Great!

  • That's bad ass.

  • gdman right whoaaw!

  • Suck his FAK!!! rappers)))))))))

  • This is from one of the greatest films ever made, David Lee Roth's No Holds BBQ!

  • hes crazy as hell

  • Cocaine is a hell a drug...(rick james quote)

  • Ha ha ha....I get the joke brother!!! Good one!!! Damn, im still laughing!

  • @kidzsanlorenzo Yeah, duh. Everyone's familiar with the Chappelle Show skit. And you quoting it just tells us you're a punk kid with a limited comedic range.

  • Homey????? I guess he's trying to be hip. hahahahaha!!! What an idiot.

  • LMAO What did he say at 0:31

  • "Brand new shit-hot fuck you kicks like you ain't never seen" LMFAO

  • Fucking guy is so full of himself. Great singer, but what a fucking idiot. He's never been THAT good.

  • I like it. Nice job!

  • Me too, brother!!

  • lmfao amazing

  • He's delusional

  • Haha cocaine is a helava drug

  • Fu*k your COUCH!

  • Must have been a cool party.  No VH album coming Eddie had surgery on the left hand

  • Homey??????He needs help....?

  • Damn!!! He CAN still sing!!

  • Dave is a vaudevillian trapped in a rock star's body. The great thing about Diamond Dave is he has NEVER taken himself too serious. However, he treats entertaining people as serious business.

  • @brownsound1 well said.

  • @brownsound1

    Finally a apprecation !

    Dave is the best Rock-Clown !

    By the way. I can fancy "Mean Street" could be a hot Battle-Rap, too.

  • @brownsound1 You hit it on the head. People listen to him and take it at face value and call him a conceited prick. I'm sure there is some truth to that, but some people just don't get that he's turning it up a notch for entertainment value. Don't get me wrong, he's probably a little crazy too, but that's okay, it's entertaining!

  • Awesome! But then again, it's Dave. What would we expect!!!!! GO DD!!!!

  • Pretty cool! Can't wait for the new album.

  • Cocaine is a helluva drug..........

  • haha dave chappelle show

  • @theranster9 i think he switched out for x based on the hand motions

  • This is great/classic. All the kooks that didn't like it just don't get Dave. Means Streets was always my favorite VH song, beginning to end, always wished the fade out would've gone on for another 20 minutes. "Brand new shit hot, fuck you kicks like you ain't never seen". Says it all.

  • What a gasser ! ! WOO - HOOP -TEE -DOO.Great job everybody.

  • this is fricken great !!!!!!, hes got so much personility , gees ever hear sammy hagar do a appolitical blues , sheer terrible , this rocks almost as great as take yr whiskey home .Dave may not be the greatest singer , but his voice is amazing

  • Ah Dave!Ungawa!This is funny as hell,thanks for the laughs Dave.

  • I am 49 years old and the biggest Van Halen/Roth fan since day 1. I have always felt that Dave thought he was better in his own mind, than he really was. After watching this, I think I was wrong!! Here's to an ass-kicking new cd & 2010 will be the best summer since 1984!

  • new VH or DLR CD?

  • I liked it all the way up to the harmonica....

  • shows how talented DLR really is, he tries his hand this and fucking rules at it. so much personality, it really shines through in an unplugged song like this

  • Diamond Dave is a complete original!! One of a kind, the greatest frontman ever, please Dave do something like this on the new VH album, and make it a double VH album!!!

  • "Say hello to little Elvis muther fucker..."

    (Shaking my head)....Dave, Dave, Dave. Thank God these times are past us.

  • I agree with lilbrker---Dave is a great singer when he isnt doin the whole gay frontman thing.This is fun!Sounds good---rough but good!

  • oh wow man, you sound like an expert on the whole "gay frontman thing". If you could list some of Dave's "whole gay frontman" shows, then the rest of us could watch out so we dont have to see some really bad DLR shows on youtube............

  • you sound like his boyfriend...by the way you go on about it...

  • naw, just putting an idiot like you in your rightful place........dork.
