Okay, I know this site is in another language, BUT I really think they confused Ralph with David Lee Roth. Here's the link: http://music.com.ua/news/rock/2002/03/20/2028.html Let me know waht you guys think. It cracked me up. Wish I could read the article. :-)

LOL! That's funny. I can just imagine what the article says....."Well, as you can see from the pictures, Dave still looks great. Time apparently hasn't been as kind to Sammy, however."

"I just want to make you laugh and make you cry and make you scream and clap --- AND CHARGE YA $8.50!" - David Lee Roth
"You're excited when you're listening to him, but when you play the tape back, he actually didn't say anything, but it doesn't matter." - Edward Van Halen, on David Lee Roth
"Going up is nothing. Reentry is the whole problem. Any rocket scientist will tell you that." - DLR, on jumping off the drum riser.

Yeah....he's so adorable.
BTW, I like the comment, SoCalChelle, about Dave never looking better - that's funny. I always say that Dave <as great as he is> wishes he was as hot as Ralph. 1030142728.jpg

The characters looked Russian so I went to my favorite free internet translation site at http://babel.altavista.com/ and cut & paste the article text, selected "Russian to English" and got this very rough translation:
Van Yualen without van Khalenov Probably, brothers Eddy Aleksa van Khalenov will be sufficient impact/shock, if the project, which they planned By semmi Of khagar and David Li Rot will be personified into the life.The fact is that both former vocalists van Yualen plan/glide to complete joint tour. By semmi he said:Esli this will occur, that this there will be the party of my entire life!.. Let us recall that both Khagar and mouth became the victims of pitiless authoritarian administration in van Yualen both brothers, in consequence of which both were forced to leave group. David Li Rot it left from the group after quarrel one of the brothers in 1985.Everything was even more tangled with Semmi.It learned, that it was discharged, only after six weeks, as as van Khaleny made this decision. Now the offended vocalists have the very best chance to prove to arrogant brothers, how those were not right. to discuss in the forum...
Well, what do you expect for free? I guess you get some of the gist of the article.
It only let me paste in 150 words, so I am sure part of it got cut off.
In the past I have had luck with the web page translation (it translates the entire page and replaces the foreign text with the English text), but when I tried it on this page I got an error.
By the way, another translation site is http://www.systransoft.com/ but they don't currently offer Russian for free.
Basically though, I agree that they confused Ralph with DLR, and used Ralph's picture in an article about the current Dave & Sam tour.
I am going to try to embed Christy's picture of Ralph to see how if works:
If the image shows up, all I did was put the cursor in my message where I wanted the image, clicked on the UBB "Image" button, pasted the exact URL of the JPG, clicked okay, and continued typing this message.
Rock on,

It's funny that they used a picture of Ralph from a Metal Shop show for that article on Dave and Sammy.

How can you tell it's a Metal Shop pic??? I can't tell. I mean, my pic is from Metal Shop and I can tell because you can see "Ginger's" hair. hehehehe....but the one they used, I can't tell.

I'm still trying to figure out how they came up with that picture. Even if they did a search on the web for a photo, you'd think there'd be tons of Dave sites/pics that would come up on a search before you somehow find your way to Ralph.
Or maybe they went through all of them and when they finally came to Ralph's pic, they thought, "Hell, this is the best pic we've seen yet, let's use this one. Who cares if it's not really him, our fans won't know the difference, they haven't seen Diamond Dave in years!"

You can see Ginger's hair and tattoo next to Ralph.
