I'm sure that dealing with Roth was no easy jam session. Listening to him on morning radio, getting to know his personality, this guy has an eye for detail and is constantly observing and thinking.
Take one look at the video "Hot for Teacher" - you can tell the guys are totally uncomfortable and not having fun in the tuxedo scene dancing and ROTH looks like a natural. Roth was thinking Hollywood, while the guys were thinking backyard parties.
Not sure this answers you, but this is thought provoking.
