Industry 45 - From the Drum Throne

Darren spends his life as a private investigator so no surprise he dug deep into the world of David Lee Roth! He has put out a great book "DLR- How David Lee Roth Changed the World" .

We have a great conversation about David and Darren shares all the connections he made along the way with past members of David's bands and in his inner circle. We talk about his early time with Van Halen, his solo career and what's happening today with the man more popular than the Nike Swoosh! 

It's all things DLR! Buckle up! 

Coming on March 3-4 to Classic 1220 I will feature parts of two interviews I did on Van Halen.

Back in 2021 I chatted with author Paul Brannigan about his book UNCHAINED: The Eddie Van Halen Story and most recently with author Darren Paltrowitz on his book about David Lee Roth- How David Lee Roth Changed the World.

I found this interview that was done in 2018! It was with VICKY HAMILTON from Los Angeles who worked in booking and promoting many "Glam Bands" In the 80s. She be-friended and worked closely with Guns and Roses, Poison, Motley Crue and Stryper to name but a few.  This was back on MAX INK RADIO for BS LIVE ROCKS RADIO. 

I am writing a book in 2024 about interviews I have done over the years and came across this fun story.  Vicky worked for David Geffen when the label was amongst the biggest in Hollywood. 

She has a great book that came out 2016
Appetite for Dysfunction
