1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna come back next week and do part.

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:04,919
Speaker 2: Two, the Rise and Fall of Daily Roth.

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,879
Speaker 1: So hang on for that one. Come join us and

4
00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:10,160
you'll get to hear some fun stuff. We'll play a

5
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,759
little bit of that for you right now. They came

6
00:00:12,839 --> 00:00:16,679
back from the tour and they were exhausted. Eleven solid

7
00:00:16,679 --> 00:00:18,000
months on tour and.

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,039
Speaker 2: Eleven months killing it every night, hard work. They get back,

9
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,640
the manager of the record company says, great job, you

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,039
guys did awesome. You host three million dollars in a

11
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:27,559
new record.

12
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:36,719
Speaker 1: What squeezebeak so Guinness Book World Record.

13
00:00:36,759 --> 00:00:39,439
Speaker 2: They got one point five million dollars for a ninety

14
00:00:39,799 --> 00:00:40,399
minute set.

15
00:00:40,759 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: They make more money than anybody has for that. But

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,600
tensions are still high.

17
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: Tensions are high. Even a million dollars an hour can't

18
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,920
cure some of the tensions that are going on now.

19
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,920
So during nineteen eighty three they begin working on a

20
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,320
new album, YEP, to come out at the very end

21
00:00:56,399 --> 00:00:58,960
of nineteen eighty three YEP, and that album is called

22
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:06,519
nineteen eighty four. This is a new Van Halen.

23
00:01:06,719 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: The diehard Van Halen fans are getting mixed reviews. Some

24
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,640
of them are sticking with them, some of them are like,

25
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,439
I don't know what's going on with these guys. You

26
00:01:14,519 --> 00:01:16,319
get those guys who think they sold out, and so

27
00:01:16,439 --> 00:01:18,079
then all of a sudden, if it's popular, they're not

28
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,959
interested anymore. Yeah, I don't care about you those guys.

29
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: Teacher comes out with the young van Halen boys running

30
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,959
around the school terrorizing. Right, you've got miss fed his

31
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,200
ed and miss spelled and miss science or whatever, and

32
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:34,439
those spelled teachers running around.

33
00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: You've got his kind of awkwardly sighing mother. And then

34
00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:42,840
when Waldo speaks, he's got this unusually deep voice.

35
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:49,359
Speaker 2: Oh, mom, you know, are not like other guys. I'm

36
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:52,959
nervous than my socks are too. You know who that

37
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,079
voice is right now? That voice is Phil Hartman of

38
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:56,920
saturn Aline.

39
00:01:57,319 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: Oh Phil Hartman, God rest his soul. Their success is

40
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,920
beyond what it has ever been in history. They are

41
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,760
literally at the top of their.

42
00:02:06,599 --> 00:02:10,759
Speaker 2: Game, and this is where it falls apart. So eight

43
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:12,759
o'clock in the morning, they're supposed to be there to

44
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:16,840
write and play music. Dave would show about eleven, start

45
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:17,800
a fight and then leave.

46
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,879
Speaker 1: He, unbeknownst to them, goes and finds another group of

47
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:26,000
guys to play with, produces an album, a four song album,

48
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,759
which he says, Hey, you know, any album's only got

49
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,039
four good songs on it. Anyway, I'm just cutting off

50
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,879
the fat. As it turned out, there are only really

51
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,400
two good songs on the album. This is the ego

52
00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:38,960
speaking right here. He does an interview with David Letterman

53
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,400
in early eighty five talking about that album, and Dave

54
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,439
is trying to find out what's going to happen with

55
00:02:44,479 --> 00:02:45,240
the rest of the band.

56
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,319
Speaker 3: I think now's a good time on New Year's to

57
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:49,759
decide whether you're going to be a hot dog or

58
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:50,800
a little weened.

59
00:03:03,199 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: Fun you're doing solo work? Is the is the Does

60
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,000
this mean that the band will soon be breaking up?

61
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 3: No, No, that happens. You know, I still have very

62
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,159
I still have very strong tribal instincts. And we'll be

63
00:03:14,199 --> 00:03:16,919
going into the studio like the middle of this month

64
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,120
and start arguing again, and we'll come back out with

65
00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:22,240
an album sometime this year, hopefully.

66
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,759
Speaker 1: He has this full expectation that the band's going to

67
00:03:24,759 --> 00:03:27,919
stay together. But you can't be the guy who goes

68
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,639
and trashes the meetings, the guy who rates somebody for

69
00:03:31,719 --> 00:03:34,719
going and doing work with other people, and then pull

70
00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:37,039
off this stunt and expect to remain in a band.

71
00:03:37,159 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 3: Boom Budda boom Badida, Boombadida, boom Buddave is out.

72
00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:48,919
Speaker 2: Dave's out in nineteen eighty five, right at the pinnacle

73
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,680
of their professional career. Do van Hagar.

74
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: The first time I heard it was on the movie

75
00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:54,120
Joe Dirt.

76
00:03:55,439 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: No, sir man, I don't like that crap.

77
00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:00,759
Speaker 1: I'm a rocker dude, through and through. Here's my favorite bands,

78
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,280
AC DC, Van Halen, not Van Hagar.

79
00:04:04,479 --> 00:04:09,039
Speaker 3: Who cureous about the clouds When we're.

80
00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: To Sammy officially joins the band end nineteen eighty five.

81
