Summary: Fluctuates between great and extremely tedious
Comment: As a big fan of classic Van Halen, I couldn't wait to dive into this read...however, I came away disappointed at times. I appreciate Dave's attempt to not re-hash what he thinks we all know (ie, backstage antics, making of the albums, stories behind the songs), but, as a fan, that's what I'm interested in. Not to say he doesn't touch on topics like the parties and his relationship with Van Halen, but he hardly gives them enough time. In fact, I believe Michael Anthony's name was only mentioned ONE time in the whole book! Sometimes his nonsensical verbiage and analogies caused me to speedily scan over whole pages. I think his travels and post-VH days are what interest him the most, so he gives these subjects more time than I, as a reader, would have preferred. Dave, if you're reading (and we know you are), relive the glory, give us the "tell-all" man! We're a nation of "The Enquirer" and "Hard Copy" - I got Machiavelli and Plato on my bookshelf when I want to read the heavy stuff. I must say, overall, the book is worth reading. We now have Dave's story; combine it with Eddie's and somewhere in the middle you will find the truth.

Summary: Legendary stories from rock's ultimate showman
Comment: No band captured the spirit of the wild lifestyle of rock n' roll better than Van Halen, and David Lee Roth was the ringmaster of it all. The self-proclaimed "Toastmaster of the Immoral Majority" relives all those crazy years while in Van Halen, as well as the years before and after it, and tells it like only he can. Diamond Dave has always moved & talked 3 times faster than anyone else, and this book is a testament to his philosophy on life - live every day to the fullest and make it fun! I have already read it 3 times, and look forward to the 4th! I hope Dave takes time out of his "no rear-view" life and writes another great book. Long live Diamond Dave!!!
