In the mid 80's, my high school friend would sometimes wear a leather jacket that belonged to his older sister. She LOVED metal, and had seen many bands. The walls of her room were completely covered in magazine pics of metal bands. On the inside lapel of her leather jacket was a Van Halen backstage pass sticker from the 1984 tour. It was made of fabric and I thought it was the coolest thing. What I couldn't understand was why one edge of the sticker was dog eared, and peeling off. Who would try to peel off such a cool sticker? Years later, I found out that Dave would check the back of the sticker, to identify which roadie gave it out, so he could compensate him. Now I wish I'd looked at the back of the dog ear!

I now have an official favorite episode of Weird History. Diamond Dave is the GOAT. He breathes the rarified air of Olympus, whilst drinking the wine of Dionysus. Naked. With your mom. Over breakfast. He is the Alpha and the Omega of rock 'n roll performers, the living epitome of cool. The dictionary entry for Rockstar simply reads See: David Lee Roth. He is the myth, the man, the LEGEND who will never, EVER be equalled.

I think dave may be the most entertaining, but not the best musician, I like him at his age now, but if someone doesnt have a special person, I dont mean 10 girls a night, but a close person, that's lonely, I guess I think that from a comment I heard about Dave being made fun of as a kid, and kinda saying they dont matter. That is hard when your a kid, but im. sure he manages

allegedly during his first solo tour he and the band played a game with blind folded gals back at the hotel called guess who's in my mouth. The winners got to stay the ones who lost were escorted out of the room and his band mates were left high and dry while Diamond Dave took the winners back to his room. Haha ah the early / mid 1980s.

The most arrogant rocker I ever met. A total ass. I worked for a promo company. Journey was totally cool. Being in the music industry went straight to Dave's head. He was so arrogant I really couldn't stand him. Everyone else I met was pretty cool. I doubt Perry was crying. That's such bs.

The women you showed as an example of groupies for Dave to sleep with were a hideous. You couldn't find a better clip? Dave's little Elvis would retreat into his nether-regions if those two creatures were to come within a mile of him. How dare you!

The 80's were heaven. We had so much to celebrate and DLR was bigger than Hollywood itself. He truly WAS a God because he shaped how our minds functioned. Anyone that had a fraction of any of his traits was an idol amongst their peers.

That seems tame compared to some of the stories about Ozzy Osbourne, the fire ants and what happened in the hotel after Tommy Lee told the story on here is one of my favorite

Yeah any media members couldve gone to the press and reported on what they saw. Only problem is back then that wasnt news. You really think people wouldve been surprised?

It looks like David Lee Roth has also had a hair transplant - he was going very bald in the 1990's. Back then, Howard Stern used to rag on Roth's Hair Weaves.

Roth's stage presence, lyrics and showmanship are underrated. Most entertainers don't have that, especially now. Music is boring now.
