We saw Van Halen… and it was rad.
This is my first post on Buddyhead, although if you’ve been a reader of Buddyhead for years. You might remember me from my infamous naked photos in a hot tub or Casper Clause. Anyways, I had four tickets to Van Halen at the Honda Center in OC and I brought Travis, Sam Velde and Jason Moore. Long story short they totally slayed. They were better than I could’ve imagined. I was so pumped on Halen that today I went and checked out David Lee Roth on Wikipedia. According to Wiki, Val Kilmer is rumored to play Diamond Dave in the new movie “The Dirt” (the story of Motley Crue) and it’s slated for a 2009 release. I double checked with imdb.com and it confirms that Kilmer is in talks. The best part is Christopher Walken is rumored to play OZZY! How fuckin’ rad is that? The Walken snorting ants!?!? YES! That is going to be mind blowing!! It’s being directed by Larry Charles. Charles was the executive producer on Seinfeld, Curb your Enthusiasm, Entourage, and also directed Borat for all of you who aren’t in the know. This is going to be the best movie of 2009 as far as I’m concerned and it at least gives me something to look forward to. The only thing that could make it better would be if Crispin Glover got involved, I’m picturing him as Mick Mars.
PS: This photo is Diamond Dave carrying a 15ft microphone around on stage, bad quality taken from my Blackberry.

Fuckin’ Val Kilmer!!!! Nobody better than him to play DLR. And if Chris Walken is in it, it will indeed be the best thing ever.

that whole concept might be interesting as long as the audience is not subjected to any actual Motley Crue music during the film

In what year is ‘The Dirt’ based?
Val Kilmer was perfect as Jim Morrison,+really sang, but Val a wee bit OLD(er)now…

Its a career book told through the band, I think the part in the book that DLR shows up is within the Crue starting to hit it big in the early to mid 80s. I cant really recall it was about 3 or 4 years since I read the book.

Actually I read the book, and it was an engrossing tale.

I’m stoked to see heroin injected into a cock on the big screen.

I love that Christopher Walken loves to be in movies.
