One of rock's great "What ifs?" will forever be, "What if David Lee Roth's 'Eat 'Em and Smile' band remained together longer and continued in the style of that album?"
It appeared that somehow, Roth had managed to match the firepower of his previous band, Van Halen, with an exceptionally talented solo band which included Steve Vai on guitar, Billy Sheehan on bass, and Gregg Bissonette on drums, with of course, Roth providing vocals and frontman charisma.
For those who may have forgotten, and as recently explained more in depth via an earlier article, the group's next album, "Skyscraper", rubbed Sheehan the wrong way due to its more electro-pop-dance direction. And before the tour in support of the album could launch, the bassist had jumped ship, and soon after, reappeared as a co-founding member of Mr. Big.
During an interview with Ryan Roxie, Sheehan was asked if a rumor that there was a "duct tape line" on Roth's stage that other members could not cross was true or false. He opted to clarify it once and for all.
"Not on my tour. Not on 'Eat 'Em and Smile.'"
He then added, "It did exist later. It did exist on the 'Skyscraper' tour. One of the reasons I wasn't there."
Roxie then explained how supposedly, other members were not allowed to cross the line "at any time" before Sheehan added the following:
"That was what I heard. On 'Eat 'Em and Smile,' Steve and I were running across this stage like maniacs, from top to bottom, all over the place. There were no restrictions at all on 'Eat 'Em and Smile.' Nothing. It was a real band and a real show. And then the 'Skyscraper' thing was… I don't know. I've heard from…"
Roxie retorted, "You've heard, but has anybody ever seen the duct tape?"
Sheehan ended the topic's discussion with what seems like a definitive confirmation. "It was there. As a matter of fact, one particular band member stepped over it one night and got in all kinds of trouble for it."

I dunno, sounds like a sensible way to prevent a flying roundhouse kick into the bassplayers face to me.

I'm a Big VAN HALEN/DLR Fan, He is "Out There" (But I'm Retarded As Well So We're Even). I Love "Eat Em & Skyscraper" Album's but "Eat 'Em & Smile" was the Best DLR Solo Album Imo. Did you know that Billy Sheehan has the only known "PRO-SHOT" Complete Performance of the DLR Band Live on the "Eat 'Em & Smile" 1986 Tour. He had a Viewing Party @ his place a few years ago which is how I found out. He should get someone to Remaster & Upgrade (Picture & Sound). It's sad that VH "1978-1984" and DLR Never Released an Official Live Home Video (VHS/DVD/Blu-Ray/Streaming). |

I think you should reach out to Sheehan and tell him your idea & offer to be the one to make it happen. LOL, I already tried, Through a friend who has a Mutual Friend (lol I know right) I was trying to reach Mr Sheehan but to no avail and the guy I reached out on FB didn't hear back. I would be like "Look they call me Mr. Pro-Shot and it's time muthafucka". Who know's maybe the 40th Anniversary of "EAT EM & SMILE" in 2026 they will have a Deluxe Box Set (CD and/or LP with Blu-Ray). * The Story also goe's Sheehan had a few people over at his place & put it on and everyone was blown away, Sheehan said DLR doesn't even have a Copy. He (Sheehan) wouldn't let anybody get a copy and/or take video of it. I wish he would have let like 30 seconds or so just so we could see it. It's just like the Alleged TOKYO'1978 Pro-Shot that existed, a KISSFAQer said he saw the complete show, Plus some have said that other shows (New Orleans'83, Cleveland'79) exist yet no evidence. Obvioulsy you and others know I love my LIVE Footage (For Any Band) & especially Pro-Shot's. I should get a Tattoo on my Forehead "PRO-SHOT" (I'm Joking obviously but some on here can't get/take a Joke) |

The real answer is I think it looks better, You think the Logo looks good like this "Kiss" ? I don't, I think "KISS" is better. Infact when I see a all capitals I think the ASYLUM Tour. I take it you don't like KISS but you are on KISSFAQ?
