Egos don’t get any bigger than David Lee Roth out of Van Halen.
This is long clip, but stay with it and watch Diamond Dave break his own nose during a spot of onstage cane twirling. There’s blood and everything.
Watch out for a bit of casual racism at the end as Dave comes back onstage after being patched up with a nose band-aid claiming “I look like fucking Hiawatha!”
In fairness, this isn’t actually a bad song (or is it?). As is Before I Fall To Pieces – in fact (if I’m honest) the debut album isn’t too bad.
But the “most gifted lyricist of his generation”?
I give you:
What a drag it is
The shape I’m in
Well I go out somewhere
Then I come home again
I light a cigarette
‘Cause I can’t get no sleep
Theres nothing on the TV nothing on the radio
That means that much to me
Deep
Odd thing about Razorlight, is it’s difficult to dismiss them entirely, because without the band we may never have got Andy Burrows solo albums
