I remember when this album came out. No one was interested in this kind of rock anymore. It was all about grunge and alt rock. Underrated song though!
This is an awesome song; can't get enough of it the last few days; the rest of the album........eh. It is definitely a little dated; if this came out a few years earlier like 1988/89 it would have been bigger and better for Diamond Dave IMO; still rockin'though big time here and actually this is the best I have heard David Lee Roth sound in his career.
I remember seeing this video at the time. I believe I was 17 and thinking, wow this looks so dated. Roth was always kind of cheesy in Van Halen but the band seemed to take his cheesiness and make it work to their advantage. When Roth went solo it's like the cheesegates opened and we all drowned in a river of velveeta cheesiness. Still, this is not a bad tune but it just lacks the character of early Van Halen recordings.
Funny, Dave seems to be wearing a lot of hats in this video...I wonder why? Anyway, I just wish this video featured the rest of the band, especially Jason Becker.
fuckin diamond dave-amazin song,i saw him solo in edinburgh must have 93?i was expectin jason becker with him-but i never knew what had happened to him,his replacement was good but i dont even know who he was!! dave was different too,short hair and crap kicks.but vocals were fuckin awesome,house music of the night was guitar shop by jeff beck:)only good thing of the 90's for me!!!
This song sucks but , with all the unreal hotties in the video, I'd say it doesn't even matter ! I'm gonna hit the "replay" button again . . and again . . and . . . LOL
@YummyBananaFish Jason played on every song on the album. He was diagnosed within a week of joining Roth and was able to perform all his studio duties but when it came time to tour he was unable to maintain a sufficient level of strenght in his hands to play a 2 hour show night after night.
If this upcoming album from VH is as great as what I've heard it is, I hope they smack themselves in the faces for WASTING all the years in between being stupid & petty when they could've been making some kick ass music.
#1 priority if there is ever a time machine invented: Straighten out the VH situation, ie - don't break up!
Lil' ain't enough, yeah but this video has enough of every life style. I see cholos and lots of sexy ladies etc. Very great video it timeless to the eye, Dave is so amazing at his work, all chars to david lee Roth
Hey, 1984rockcity--could you (or someone else out there) please upload Dave's vid for Sensible Shoes? Was on YT for a while, but was deleted for some reason. That'd be great!
@vanhalenDLRera ---- A lot of it had to do with bad timing......it was released in 1991 which is when grunge came along and crushed "hair metal".......so this tune kinda got swept under the rug.......if Dave released it in 1986 it would have been all over MTV
Dave showing his age a little here. I owned this album, being a VH fan at the time, and liked this song, but wow in 1991, this wasn't playing with the critics anymore. Not Dave's fault, just that hair metal was about to be replaced by grunge, and today we're all the worse for it.
yeah this was around for a long timd thats over......fuckin god dam...now we got emo....get rid of that shit ..fuckin jocks with old man comb overs....gay gay gay and they wear flip flops too..
Dave is one of the best frontmen of the 70's, 80's and 90's....when you went to see Van Halen or him by himself....he gave you a show. A real show. Not one of these plaid flanel wearing garage bands like Nirvana that just acted stupid.
@celticattack For sure! I just wish there was more DVD's out there of Diamond Dave, in concert or of his music videos, so there would be a record of all the great stuff he did.!
I haven't seen this video in ages and really forgot how good it actually was. Granted its missing any visual of a band - which was understandable at that point - But its still pretty impressive.
@jimemtp did Steven Vai not play for the DLR Band??? His name was in the band that means he's the artist people pay to see, the music is important too though
@FutureWarhead yeah that was my point, Steve Vai played with him so no he wasn't afraid of guitarist outshining him, which is why some people say the vocals are really loud on this song, but at the end of the day it's just a fun and awesome song!
@Hunkola I mean Dave is DAVE he is obviously not Bono or Lennon biut I always thought he wrote really cool lyrics and "hooky" melody lines....I love that line... "Was vaccinated by a phonograph needle one summer break"!! Cheers!
@rckseattle ---- yeah I heard Dave used that line in an interview once......probably referring to one of the summers he spent at his Uncle Manny's club "Cafe Wha?" watching all the musical acts there....... I wanna hear him use one of his most famous lines from the 80's in a song......."Hey I'm gonna fuck your girlfriend, pal"
@Yngsatchvai I think is "Kissed her on her daddy's boat and shot across the lake".. But now that you mention it... Shooting it across a lake is pretty fucking impressive!
I hope he is old by now....and fucks his ass of with little china girls....he is a god
