It's the first episode of 2023 of the podcast by and for fans of Diamond David Lee Roth! Darren and Steve talk about the end of year-and-hopefully-continuing veritable flurry of activity from DLR, including another Van Halen cover and the return of the "Roth Show" podcast.
Darren opines and theorizes about the new episodes of Dave's podcast and the content...why it's likely you won't see Dave shows the first few months of the year...and Dave's public persona vs. reality. Plus, is our podcast a bit too negative?
And Steve goes overboard without a liferaft about some really fun "new" Dave music, the cover of ELO's "Shine A Little Love" which dropped on New Year's Day on The Mojo Dojo YouTube channel.
Find Darren via the "Paltrocast" for lots o' cool music, entertainment and media stuff!

Just when you think you did the last episode of the year, David Lee Roth puts out another Van Halen cover and relaunches his podcast, "The Roth Show!"
In this episode, Darren and Steve talk about the surprise release of both of Roth's new digital releases, in addition to Dave's discussion of missing Eddie Van Halen and a slew of current artists (e.g. Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Bad Bunny, Lizzo).
Plus, what's behind the recording of the cover of "Everybody Wants Some," his answering the "Starbucks questions," a toe injury, and more!
Happy holidays and here's to a terrific 2023 from "The DLR Cast!"

'Tis the season for the year-end episode of The DLR Cast! Darren and Steve conversate and speculate on all-things David Lee Roth in 2022.
Did you know Dave released more Van Halen covers than solo songs this year? Darren reminisces of Dave's shows in Las Vegas that got cancelled, "throwing in the shoes" -- was it the shortest retirement ever? Plus, Alex is doing stuff, Sammy says stuff, and what'd we like to see in 2023!
Thank YOU for having fun with us in 2022 and here's to a terrific 2023!

Darren and Steve talk with music journalist Steven Rosen, author of the huge and awesome book, "Tonechaser: Understanding Edward: My 26-Year Journey With Edward Van Halen." The book tells the tale of Rosen's friendship with Eddie, from first their meeting (at a Cheap Trick show at the Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles in 1977!) to how it ended in 2003, and everything in between. Steven tells how, after many years, he ended up writing the book, the labor of love and dedication it became -- 580 pages! -- Neil Zlozower contributing never-before-published photos, his thoughts on Valerie Bertinelli, Michael Anthony, David Lee Roth (of course!), playing guitar with Eddie, interviewing him multiple times and a lot more.
At the top, your "DLR Cast" hosts touch on the little bit of Dave and DLR-releated news, and the lack thereof.
"Tonechaser: Understanding Edward: My 26-Year Journey With Edward Van Halen" is now available via the author at Facebook.com/TONECHASERBOOK and via Amazon, Reverb, and Etsy. Check out Steven at Facebook and at Instagram: @steven.rosen.guitar.picks.

- Recent placements of VH and DLR classics in modern media
- The green-lighting of "Twister 2"
- A great recent podcast featuring Eric Senich and Greg Renoff
- The infamous McDonald's photo featuring Dave and Eddie
- The John 5 rumor mill

Its October 10th and that means it's David Lee Roth's birthday! John 5 leaves Rob Zombie's band and might play with Motley Crue on future shows, and...maybe with Dave?
Darren digs into a publicist mystery...or perhaps its not a mystery?
Plus, everything is planned, and Steve and Darren answer a YouTube comment!

Darren and Steve slice and dice Sammy Hagar's interview at RollingStone.com, what was said, what wasn't, and might have been said or not said, but should have been said, which is...tiring. Plus, thoughts on this year's Taylor Hawkins tribute shows, what Dave should and could be doing, and the awesome Mojo Dojo channel on YouTube is a must-see!

Darren and Steve dive deep into speculation on David Lee Roth releasing a newly-recorded version of "Panama;" Steve's big mea culpa, Wolfgang Van Halen does two Van Halen songs at the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert (and is amazing!) and if that was Dave's rationale to releasing a VH song. And will Dave release more from the May 2022 sessions? Or more songs from the sessions with John 5? And is Diamond Dave invited to the next Taylor tribute concert in Los Angeles?

On this edition of "The DLR Cast" -- recorded less than 24 hours before David Le Roth released some new (old) music -- Steve and Darren dig into the latest news related to the members of Van Halen. And believe it or not, almost everyone has made headlines in some form since episode #69 came out!
