Aerosmith, David Lee Roth, Billy Joel press conference, April 2013

[@Dana-cz1yu]

David is priceless, as usual. So entertaining. Billy Joel is just so uncomfortable in his own skin. I can't believe he told the story about Eddie throwing up. That was inappropriate, and I think it made David uncomfortable; but he was gracious anyway.

[@m00ndawg]

I agree. Tyler and Roth kept it classy. Joel on the other hand, well lets just say now we see why Christie Brinkley left him.

[@steveengle1260]

Was uncalled for comment

i was waiting for the payoff but he just left it 🤷‍♂️

[@coldacre]

what? Eddie was an alchoholic was drank to calm his nerves. not exactly a news flash. Billy was one of the biggest stars on the planet in the late 70’s. he was recalling the time that they met. look at Dave’s reaction, story checked out.

[@prehistoricpoodle]

As a side note, EVH himself had said he suffered from stage fright, and used to drink to cope with it, so I don't think it's the biggest reveal either.

DAVES STAR POWER IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HUGE WAY BEYOND MUSIC

[@apoormansempire]

Aa a kid in the late 80s Billy Joel was my jam. I listened to his double greatest hits album constantly, and then in '94 after Get a Grip came out I went on a trip with my parents and while my older sister and our cousin and I rode in the back of a pickup truck my dad had converted into a camper, we listened to that Aerosmith album for 3 hours straight. After that, Aerosmith was my jam for quite a few years, until I discovered Alice in Chains, but that's another pointless story altogether.... Anyway, it was very cool to see them together in this interview.

[@lisascorp]

I hope you then went on to listen to some of Aerosmith prior albums like Pump, Permanant Vacation and their really awesome ones like Rocks , Get your Wings and Toys in the attic. They really are super talented with both hard rock and more pop sounding tunes as well.

[@SummerfallWinterspring]

Once Dave starts talking, all I can do is pray that he stops as soon as possible. 🙃

[@SummerfallWinterspring]

I feel the need to explain a bit, what I said without context seems Mean when it was meant to be a complement. I think Dave has passed into the next level of communication which of course is telepathy. That's why when he speaks aloud the older he gets an all the worldly knowledge that he has gained is trying to all fit out through his mouth and it all doesn't fit at the same time so there is a lot of turbulence in the reality of what is actually going on. Let us all stand today to encourage Dave to only communicate with us telepathically and remain forever silent, basking in the glory of when some punk kid scoring hotties after his shows every night tries to get cocky and disses DLR? Forget about it.... DLR calmly and silently silently pulls out Mean Street, place it on the counter and ba-boom. No more stupid. 👍

I think he actually does, it’s just his motor mouthing gets so much spotlight that you don’t notice. He stayed silent for about 3 straight years after Ed’s death. No blowing smoke up anybody’s ass, no “tribute” concerts, nothing. Just some photographs and a couple songs. I don’t think he gets enough credit for being able to sit back and be comfortable with himself.

[@Confidentk9sCa]

If they thought he was speaking too much then they could’ve easily spoken up themselves. He’s a man who speaks with great wit. Try enjoying people fully instead of reacting in the ways ‘society’ forces us all to grow up by judging everyone negatively. Having an open mind away from ‘society’s’ judgements is much more fun. He’s not saying anything nasty nor hurting anyone. He likes to talk so he does. We all like to do what we’re great at. If there’s anything someone like DLR can teach us, is to enjoy life to its fullest. Imagine what the world would be like if we enjoyed good people, let alone great people like DLR, to the fullest.
