* KickChick: A male version. Diamond Dave ''loves'' performing high kicks and can do a perfect jumping split as well due to years of martial arts training.



* MasterSwordsman: He's trained in sword fighting since he was twelve and is extremely adept at it.



** RealMenWearPink: In his often outrageous stage outfits.
* ReadTheFinePrint: If you're the promoter and Van Halen tells you to put a bowl of M&M's backstage, and there'd better not be any brown M&M's in the bowl, do it.

If he sees one, it means there is a very good chance you did not follow the technical specifications for all the equipment and safety meaures in their show. That means the show may not go on, which pisses off Van Halen, their fans, and also comes straight out of your pocket.
