DLR is immortal.
I have a friend who hung out with him a lot in like 87, 88. Her best friends boyfriend was a light tech for Whitesnake or something when they exploded. She said he was EXACTLY like you think he would be.

Was at lucky strike for the eat em and smile show 5 years ago. ultimateclassicrock.com/david-lee-roth-band-reunion-foiled/ Was so fucking pissed. The techs line checked and it was all ready to go but the bouncers/management let all the celebs/industry people in after it was over capacity. TMZ posted it and fire marshals pulled the plug. DLR rehearsed with them for two afternoons. They didn't reschedule because EVH and Alex told Dave if he did, they wouldn't play with him again.

With the caveat that he has actual talent, Steve Vai always comes across like the Toby of that scene.

DLR rules. I picked up a copy of Crazy From the Heat to read while in Mexico a few years ago. That book is all over the place (much like the man himself) but it is a wild ride.
I still jam Eat Em and Smile sometimes. Vai's guitar work on that record is otherworldly. It's clear he had been hired for that band explicitly to piss off EVH.

I saw KISS right before lockdown and was happily surprised to find DLR was the opener. It was delightful.

DLR is an interesting dude. Living in Tokyo, speaking fluent Japanese, the tattoos, owning a tattoo lotion company, etc. Apparently according to John 5, he's been sitting on a solo album for a long time because VH wouldn't allow him to release it while VH was going on. For all the good they are/were musically, Alex and Eddie were always dildos to DLR, Sammy, and Michael.

man i always thought DLR was a top notch guy
i've struggled with adhd my entire life and he's sorta a poster child for it, normalizing wildin out and karate kicking shit for the fuck of it
i can't even believe i've never seen van halen in my life, and a lot of my childhood was cruising around with my dad in his geo metro jamming van halen, even haggar era stuff.

The last time I saw Van Halen was with KC and the Sunshine Band on St Patrick's Day. We watched about five drunk men get ejected from our section before VH even wen't onstage. What a great night.
