Una volta ero lì con queste due ragazze; erano delle spogliatoie. Hanno detto "dave, vorremmo che tu salisse, noi due, con te". Quindi ho risposto "ok". Era angus, era caldo, sudato e umido, e abbiamo cominciato a consegnare la spesa a 138 battiti al minuto o più. Una delle ragazze aveva 1500 dollari in singoli, cinque e dieci, le sue mance di fine settimana e lo stipendio e tutto nel suo perizoma. Nessuno se ne è notato, sai, quando il perizoma si è sfilato -- bé, me ne sono notato -- nessuno si è notato dei soldi, tipo, che galleggiano in giro. Mi sveglio' verso l'alba, erano tutti e due dormiti, e tutti e tre eravamo ricoperti di soldi, ogni centimetro quadrato di pelle aveva una banconota da un dollaro incollata -- non c'era null'altro. Tutto il letto era coperto di banconote. I nostri corpi erano coperti di banconote. C'erano delle banconote nella mia biancheria intima. Fate una foto.' così inizia forse l'autobiografia rock definitiva. Per tutti gli anni settanta e ottanta i van halen sono stati l'archetipo del gruppo rock americano. Inoltre sono stati anche la band più pagata nella storia dello spettacolo, prendendo la bella cifra di 1 milione di dollari per una serata di lavoro a un festival nel 1983 e entrando nel guinness dei primati.

"If you're looking for an exacting history to the month, to the year, that's not how I remember it. This is not a recitation of what I did, you already know that I did it. This is why I did it or how it was done - nine and a half times out of ten times, being clearly not what you expected. Me neither." David Lee Roth

Paperback. Condizione: New. 'I WAS THERE WITH THESE TWO GIRLS ONCE; THEY WERE STRIPPERS. THEY SAID 'DAVE, WE'D LIKE YOU TO GO UPSTAIRS, THE TWO OF US, WITH YOU. ' SO I SAID, 'OKAY'. IT WAS ANGUS, AND IT WAS HOT AND SWEATY AND HUMID, AND WE COMMENCED TO DELIVER THE GROCERIES AT 138 BEATS PER MINUTE OR MORE. ONE OF THE GIRLS HAD $1500 IN SINGLES AND FIVES AND TENS, HER END-OF-THE-WEEK TIPS AND PAY AND EVERYTHING IN HER G-STRING. NOBODY NOTICED, YOU KNOW, WHEN THE G-STRING CAME UNDONE -- WELL, I NOTICED -- NOBODY NOTICED THE MONEY, LIKE, FLOATING AROUND. I WOKE UP AT SOME POINT AROUND DAWN, THE TWO OF THEM WERE ASLEEP, AND ALL THREE OF US WERE COVERED WITH MONEY, EVERY SQUARE INCH OF SKIN HAD A DOLLAR BILL PASTED TO IT -- THERE WAS NOTHING BUT. THE WHOLE BED WAS COVERED WITH BILLS. OUR BODIES WERE COVERED WITH BILLS. THERE WAS BILLS IN MY UNDERWEAR. TAKE A LITTLE PICTURE OF THAT. ' So begins perhaps the ultimate rock autobiography. Throughout the late-seventies and eighties Van Halen were the archetypal American rock group. Whats more they were also the highest paid band in the history of show business, taking a cool $1 million for a night's work at a festival in 1983 and making the Guiness Book of Records.
