David Lee Roth has published dozens of never-before-seen photos of Van Halen and their lives back in the 1980s and late '70s. There's dozens of pictures of Dave's travels through the Amazon, skiing, and around the world, as well as photos from Van Halen's very early days of playing backyard parties and small clubs in Los Angeles, like in legendary Gazzaris. There are even behind-the-scenes pictures from the tropical island shoot that produced the infamous images featured on the cover of his Crazy From The Heat book, as well as first solo album. The pictures can be seen and even printed in high quality, from his website, DavidLeeRoth.Com.

In case you haven't heard The Bird and The Bee yet, they are jazzy little indie pop band from Los Angeles. Keyboardist Greg Kurstin has wrote songs with Lily Allen, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and a bunch of other bands. And singer Inara George, well, she's in love with David Lee Roth. Because David Lee Roth is the greatest guy on Earth. And for that we get this wonderful little song, Diamond Dave:
Fifty four years ago today a crying, slimy, bald little David Lee Roth was squeezed out onto this world. And Friday nights have never been the same. Here's Dave getting ready to play the 1983 US Festival, at the time the largest festival ever. Van Halen was payed $1 million to perform at the show - the most any band was ever paid. Dave was so lit up by the time show started he runs out on stage exploding with energy sings one line of Somebody Get Me A Doctor and then just starts singing 'I forgot the words.' Hilarious.
So there's this Canadian guy speeding around Canda and breaking the law and getting sick off nuts all while pretending to be ripmaster David Lee Roth. The story started with the guy getting pulled over by the cops. When the cops got to his window he had his little silk scarf on and he said he was driving to the hospital as fast as he can because he ate some nuts and he's allegic. The news stations up there even interviewed the cops and crap. Then Dave expained he's not allegic to nuts:
"I was in Canada only from July first through the fourth for a performance at the Quebec City Summer Festival. I had no encounters or incidents with the police. The only thing I'm allergic to is criticism. -- Love, Dave"
So now the cops are pissed! Don't mess with Canuck cops. They'll shoot you like a fucking duck. Now the guy is probably getting charged with all kinds of crap including obstruction of justice. These cops need to go back to police academy and freshen up on their skillz. Or at least be made to listen to all of Van Halen I over and over with a bunch of booze and some chicks. Who the fuck doesn't know David Lee Roth! And there's only one David Lee Roth impersonator and his names Ralph. And he kills it!
I totally found my new ringtone! David Lee Roth screaming. Listen up to the David lee Roth track to Running With The Devil. Gaddamitbabyimgonnatellyouonetime ahhhhhhh yeaaah Wooo! The funniest thing ever. Dave just parties all the time and sometimes singing comes out. Listen to this:
The Phoenix has posted their 100 Unsexiest Men of 2007 and we have mega complaint. Not that we really care what men are unsexy, but these guys have seriously knocked our idol and mentor of the bettor things in life. These guys put the one, the only, Diamond David Lee Roth ranked number 75! O.k., Dave isn't exactly Dancing The Night Away:
But we really doubt The Phoenix editors are exactly babe magnets. Dave the the king of sexy rock 'n roll. Sorry Phoenix. (THE RAD REPORT editors are way Dancin' the Night Away, and super sexy, by the way.)
