David Lee Roth graced us with a new song over the weekend. In typical Dave fashion, this song is little on the eccentric side. A short, mellow song titled “Pointing At The Moon”.
A few years ago, local guitar hero, John 5 told me that some stuff he recorded with Dave might someday come out. “It will. There’s been a revision of things, and I can start making real plans and start marching into the future. And, of course, you’ll start hearing that material. This is material that we wrote variously for me solo and for VAN HALEN, and it’s quite a bank of stuff.”
What do you think of this song? Personally, I like just about everything Dave does. This song reminds me slightly of “Damn Good” from 1988. I like it for the most part, not sure why it ends so abruptly. I think it needs to be reworked at the end.
7 Incredible Isolated Vocal Tracks You Must Hear
Meltdown started on the mighty WRIF on the evening of Halloween, 1995. Technically, his first on-air shift was the morning of November 1st. Moving to the Motor City from Buffalo, N.Y., he has built a career and family. Over his almost three-decade stint at RIFF, he's had the privilege to work with some of the biggest personalities in Detroit radio history. He boasts of being just the second-afternoon drive jock in the station's illustrious 53-year history.
Along with his love for rock music and attending concerts, he's also an avid Harley-Davidson enthusiast and hockey player. He plays year-round and manages to squeeze in a few charity games throughout the year. Meltdown writes about the Detroit Red Wings, rock music, and Detroit concert venues.
