Van Halen - Old Druggies, But 50+, Lean & Mobile

What more can I say, except light and lean will cover many evils:

Ed looks pretty ripped, too for being a chain-smoker-alcoholic and having had cancer:

Hey Dave,

My wife, daughter and I saw Weezer last night.....they were tight and lean, musically speaking.

DLR was looking pretty burned out there for a while.....drugs and drinkin' were taking their toll so it's good to see him back in fighting shape.

Weezer...heard the name, but I have no idea what they play. Showing my age.

Diamond Dave is looking good. Wonder if he's had plastic surgery?

A friend of my wife who is a massage therapy in CA was following them. Massages are extremely important to being able to do splits at that age, which is probably why she was with them. I suppose they have the whole makeover treatment.

You never heard the classic songs "I'm a teenage dirtbag baby", "Hash pipe", "Buddy Holly" or "The Sweater Song"? Time to hit itunes, Dave. You don't know what you're missing.

I wonder how recent these pics are. I saw a picture of Eddie somewhere recently and he looked like hammered owl**** He looks pretty good here. Course a tight haircut and the lighting hiding the lines on his face might explain. I saw these guys in the spring of '79 or maybe '80. They kicked a lot of ass back then and they only had one album out. I'd like to see 'em live these days, but I'd have to drive to a big city. They don't play the alleyways and culdesacs anymore.

I can't remember if it was Eddie or David Lee Roth that made all those high kicks during the re-make they did of California Girls in the video of same many years ago, but I remember thinking back then "how impressive" when I watched it  .. 

Probably both, but DLR is the one who supposedly pra****s Kung Fu. He is the one who's more reknown for his kicking. Ed has already had a hip replacement, so his airalism is nothing to be sneezed at either. 

Yes, I think it was DLR, now that you mention the martial arts thing ..  

There's quite a bit more to Diamond Dave than meets the eye, if you can cut through the noise and BS. He actually comes across as one of the nicer members of VH (except for maybe, the old bass player, Mike Anthony). He even received paramedic training post-fame and was a paramedic in NYC for a while. I heard it was in a pretty bad neighborhood where a rocker would never be reconized.
