Roth Army

Lest you ever dare overlook the fact that former Van Halen vocalist David Lee Roth is the greatest frontman ever, he's accumulated an entire Roth Army that has marched on to the net in order to not-so-gently remind you of Diamond Dave's inexorable raawk credentials.
Utterly relentless in its dedication to "honouring the commander-in-chief of rock'n'roll", the 8,000-strong cyber-posse can equally be relied upon to denounce Sammy Hagar - who they trust will shortly discover that he has "more hairs on his ass than his head" - at every available opportunity.
Indeed, the sheer abhorrence of Hagar - who replaced DLR in Van Halen in 1985 - is matched only by what must surely rank as the web's finest library of Rothisms. Suffice to say that anyone who muses, "I used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass," or, "I'm kinda like Darth Vader in the Star Wars sequel: you know you ain't seen the last of me and chances are I could be your father," is decidedly more rock'n'roll than you.
Shame about the music though.
