On the latest episode of Van Halen singer David Lee Roth’s The Roth Show called Full Contact Music, Diamond Dave recalls his first concert, sneaking out the bedroom window to go see Janis Joplin and Iron Butterfy at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in 1968. He relates the experience to his new solo band.
“That was the very beginning of life and this is what is in the DNA of everything I'm going to bring to when we show at the first of the year,” Roth explains. “This is what I tell the fellas in the band, the kind of music and I play it's guitar-centric, it's classic I take it every bit as seriously as religion. What kind of music that I play his full contact music, very girl friendly. And I found a young band of very physical players.”
