First I'd like to say it's an honor, being selected as
November's Featured member of the month! I was a bit reluctant to
do this, unless in fact I made a minimal 10 posts at your website.
I accomplished that feat today, so here I am the WARFSTER ready to
answer each and every question, totally unedited for the Van Halen
community's viewing pleasure! Oh, by the way I was born in
Waltham, Mass but I've been living in this toxic waste of the
world known as Florida since 1983.
How many different cities have you lived in? What’s the best
thing about where you live in now?
Let's see... I've physically lived in quite a few cites,
although I would label myself as a Floridian. Besides Waltham,
I've lived in Chicago, Atlanta, but mostly in South Florida... as
a matter of fact I was recently selected to the Florida voters
ballot committee, but they fired me cuz I supported the BILL COSBY
picture pages techinque! You know.... Picture pages.... picture
pages... having lots of fun with your pencil... SING ALONG
CHILDREN! LOL My theory is, you gotta draw a line from the word,
"PRESIDENT" and then connect it to the actual picture of
either George Dubya, or John Kerry.... for complete accuracy! Cuz
you don't want these 93 year old retired people to complain for
the next 4 years.... it's bad enough the price of Egg McMuffins
went up 25%!!!
Do you have any brothers/sisters?
I am a single child. That's why I am creative... there was
simply nobody to play with. My parents used to put me in
timeout... which was basically the equivalent to David Lee Roth's
monkey hour.
Are you married/have kids?
I am currently single, ladies, but I have a six year old
daughter... so if you’re single out there... I'm ready for more
kids... and if you’re Puerto Rican.... let's start the Puerto
Rican Brady Bunch... and I'll hire the maid Alice!!
Play any musical instruments?
I played the Kazoo in 6th grade. Does that count?
Favorite sport to watch?
Besides Nude Celebrity Twister, I am a huge fan of Football!
J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!!!
Favorite sport to participate in?
Nude Celebrity Twister... when I become a celebrity!
Which single store would you choose to max out your credit
card?
I dunno... is the credit card stolen?
Finish this statement: If I won a million dollars I’d...
…Call Dave, Eddie, Alex and Michael to play a WARF Benefit
concert at my house for $250,000 a piece. I know Dave will do
it... that's more money that the entire DIAMOND DAVE album grossed
in general. If that can't happen.. I'd probably jump on a cruise
ship with fat old people, and sail away for the rest of my
life.... and try to learn the macarena dance!
If you could go back in time and revisit the favorite time of
your life, how old would you be and what was it about your life at
that time that makes you long to revisit it now?
I wish I was a sperm again, but a little bit slower... I'd let
another one pass on route to the WARF MOTHER EGG... it's a crazy
fucking world we live in! LOL ... I'm still tryin' to find the
perfect female.... but I've been out of synch lately... ever since
LOVE CONNECTION has been out of syndication.
When you were a child, what did you always want to be when you
grew up? Did you end up doing that, or something else?
I dunno... most kids wanted to be a policeman or a fireman... I
wanted to be a ROCK SUPERSTAR like David Lee Roth... or at least a
legend in my own mind... like I am now.
1st concert you ever attended (of anyone, not necessarily Van
Halen/DLR)?
I don't really fucking remember LOL. Does Sesame Street On Ice
count?
What songs did you use to like that everyone else hated? You
know, it'd come on the radio and you'd turn it up, sing along,
maybe even buy but you'd NEVER admit it to anyone...
I never really cared for the radio. I appreciate good music, in
any art form... it's doesn't have to necessarily be Classic Rock!
I like all kinds of music... hip hop, R&B, Country, Jazz...
even classical! It all basically is the same message.... in hip
hop they say, "I wanna stick dees nuts in your ass BEEYATCH!"
In country they say, "I love ya darling, let me buy you a
beer!" I've come to the conclusion it's all the same music...
except rappers carry guns!!!
DLR was probably already out of Van Halen when you started
listening to music. How did you come to be such a huge fan of that
era?
I don't remember all the details, but when I was 6 years old...
I somehow got a LP of Diver Down. I was listening to Van Halen
when most other kids where playing with their G.I. JOES! The song,
"Secrets" was my original favorite song back then... and
remains my favorite Van Halen song to this day. However it took me
about 10 years to understand the meanings to the lyrics. I hate
when people say they are a Van Halen fan, because they lived
through it. I could rant and rave for the next several paragraphs
about why I despise Sammy Hagar, but it would be worthless. I am a
Van Halen fan period. Sammy Hagar does nothing for me... and even
though Eddie Van Halen is a genius... gettin' a new Van Hagar
album is like opening a beautiful wrapped gift... and finding
underwear inside.
LMAO! Nice analogy. :) Did you get to see Van Halen while DLR
was still with them?
DING! DING! DING! Show her door Number three, Johnny!!!
Jacksonville, FL January 1984... I believe it was the first date
of the tour. All I can say is when "JUMP" first came on
the radio I was addicted immediately... and continued the
addiction until Sammy Hagar butchered it from 1986 and beyond... I
remember the concert vaguely... I kept yellin' at my Dad... I
wanted to stay and see the encore... but my father wanted to beat
the traffic... saying... "We'll see them next year!"
Here I am 20 years later... there never was another Van Halen
concert!
How many DLR shows have you been to?
3 or 4... I saw him on the YFLM tour... at a local Fort
Lauderdale club, "THE BUTTON SOUTH" in 1994.. and three
times between 2001 and 2003. I actually dressed up with a DLR wig
and spandex during the Sam & Dave tour. I was fucking drunk as
a mofo, and was wearing my vintage, "Hide Your Sheep"
tour shirt with the lion logo on front... I almost got laid from
this one chick... but when we were kissing the wig fell off! I
went from Ralph Saenz to Rob Halford in 2.3 seconds!!!
Have you been to any Van Hagar shows?
The only time I ever saw Sammy was during the Sam & Dave
tour. I don’t recall Sammy ever gettin’ any of my money...
because the only Van Hagar album I ever owned was "FUCK"
and that was a gift... and I never really gave it much airplay...
I will confess though it was GREAT watching Eddie Van Halen with a
Drill in his hand... at the beginning of the Poundcake video...
that stands out to me as the one true shining moment of Van Hagar
history! LOL
Favorite VH album/song
It's a toss up between Fair Warning and VH II. I think I'll go
with Van Halen II, because of its rawness. I don't believe there
is a single flaw on that album, and I think the rush of production
actually helped it. Seriously... is there any Van Halen that
wasn't rushed? Between 1978 and 1983 they made an album every
year!
Favorite DLR album/song
Eat Em And Smile! It's a great album all the way through. Some
people don't care for Steve Vai, and label him as a whiner... I
really don't care... David Lee Roth started to go downhill after
Ted Templeman stopped producing his albums. As far as my favorite
solo song? There are quite a few. I love "Slam Dunk" cuz
it truly captures the spirit of Classic Van Halen with Ray
Luzier's expert drumming. I also love Hina and Drop In The Bucket!
I hear you like karaoke...tell me more about that.
I love karaoke. I sing at least a couple nights a week. It's a
lot of fun. I am friends with quite a few hosts, and they all have
a dozen classic Van Halen songs. I even have the classic whistle
and jump kicks down to a tee... but a lot of people aren't used to
watching Eminem perform Panama!!!
It seems like you’ve been around forever. When did you first
get into the online VH scene?
I stumbled across the DLR Army website in the spring of 2000.
It started off with a few posts, which led to becoming a moderator
and a webmaster... now I'm at DDLR.com as a super moderator! I am
passionate about Classic Van Halen... I created my first thread
and I never looked back!
Best memory from the Diamond Mafia...
Having you as the original first lady! :)
I dunno... maybe the fact it was during the golden era of the
DLR Army, you know... back in the days when you could expect at
least one or two hitch rants per day. I also enjoyed the attacks
we made at the Pleasure Dome, looking back at it. The Diamond
Mafia was a lot of fun while it lasted... I don’t regret
starting the fan club... not even for a second. Who could forget
the hitchwar? It was simply a great time in Van Halen land... I
miss it a lot!
Have you met anyone from message boards in person?
I've met Von Halen. I guess nobody else listens to Van Halen in
Boca Raton. I also was friends with stratomaster from the Pleasure
Dome. He died in May 2001. That was my only close buddy from these
message boards. We were supposed to see David Lee Roth together,
and I still have his extra ticket. Maybe we'll see the DLR reunion
tour up in the sky on day!!
Have you met any members of Van Halen?
Nope, but I've met Ralph Saenz of the Punks and Brian Young of
the DLR Band. I actually saw one of the final Punks shows in Fort
Lauderdale. I met Brian there, a real cool down to earth person.
He mentioned to me, "Did you hear Bart isn't in the band
anymore?" Then he smiled at me.... a few weeks later, he's on
tour with the Toastmaster General!
What do you think about all the in-fighting going on at the VH
boards?
It's great advertising! You need drama and chaos in your
life.... it's all the great ingredients for a masterpiece SOAP
OPERA! Forget, "General Hospital"... come over to
www.diamonddavidleeroth.com and watch "DAVES OF OUR
LIVES!" LOL Every fucking week there is a new travesty, and
people gettin' their panties in a wad! Especially when I create a
new alias! A lot of people don't realize it's all for
entertainment baby!!! If you take this internet bullshit too
seriously... you need to shut off your computer. I also would like
to offer advice to all the newbies! Whatever you do in your
life... don't become a moderator!! Because you have to get
involved in silly board meetings and then face the board of
directors over avatars being changed. As a matter of fact.. I am
currently of probation for giving Catfish a "5150"
avatar. LOL But you know... it's about having fun. I'm gonna
continue to be a part of the Van Halen community as long as I'm
having fun.... or until Vince Hamburger Head comes back into the
Van Halen world. (I think you gave me a karma point, Chelle, for
the Eugene Levy thread.) But it's all good in the hood baby!!! Cuz
it's like WARM APPLE PIE!!!
What would you say is the biggest difference between your
personality online and your personality offline?
I am a totally different person in real life... but I am still
humorous.
Could you elaborate on this? In what ways are you different in
person?
I can’t really elaborate on this question. The only way you’ll
truly know me is by talking to me on the phone or meeting me in
person. The message boards are purely entertainment to me. I
consider my online personality as an obnoxious/arrogant asshole at
times... and I will confess I am an attention whore... but I’m
actually the opposite in real life. It’s hard to explain... but
you can get away with a lot of bullshit on message boards that you
can’t in actual life. A lot of my threads/rants/fights are
strictly bullshit to catch your attention... I dunno... I think it’s
a cool internet attitude to have... just like Classic Van Halen...
it’s an attitude above everything else!
How many aliases have you posted under? Name them.
LOL, Damn, Chelle... I've been sooo many... I can't even count
them... maybe one day I will be immortalized like ELVIS.. and
there will be WARF sightings in Las Vegas.
Which of your aliases is/was your favorite? Why?
WARF! LOL
I dunno... I was an actor in high school... I really hate how
phony people are on the internet... so I decided... I’ll create
my own characters and try to react the way that person would in
real life. Like Raven for an example... she was a satanic
psychopath... I studied two weeks on necrophilia... then I posted
Raven’s dark fantasies in a thread... it freaked everyone out...
but I am proud of her... I created a real internet persona from
scratch... and it took almost 4 months for even the webmasters to
figure out it was me. LOL
I dunno... I’ve always been a huge wrestling fan... I would
get jealous of people like JUSTOJAKE, FAB, Watthi, ed6150, etc
etc... because I’ve always wanted to be the asshole everyone
hated... but in actuality I am a nice friendly person... so my
goal was to create a character so mean and vicious everyone would
hate her... that’s where I came up with the idea for Raven!
Tell us something about WARF we don’t know
I'm a pornstar baby! YEAH!!!! LOL
I dunno... I am double jointed... and can stick both arms and legs
behind my head!!
