OUCH! LOLOriginally posted by Rushgedlife
The press treats Roth as a washed up, has-been, laughing stock that they constantly beat like a pinata.
Whack, whack, whack. LOL
===============
Lifestyles of the no longer rich or famous
"Surreal Life" producers Cris Abrego and Mark Cronin love to humiliate
has-beens...and talk to Maxim.
Maxim: What would the ultimate "Surreal Life" cast be?
Abrego: Ooh...LaToya Jackson, David Lee Roth, and Boy George for sure.
We've tried to get them. We've gotten close!
Maxim: What prompted you to create a show about washed-up celebs?
Cronin: A Stove Top stuffing commercial. George Hamilton, Charo, and
Mr. T were in it as a weird family making breakfast for each other.

If you're looking for a laugh, check out Hall & Oates at Miller
Lite Oasis at 10 p.m. If you're looking to laugh harder, swing
by the Potawatomi Classic Rock Stage at 10 p.m. for
"Diamond" David Lee Roth.

"Obviously a solo career is no more advisable for a cat than it was
for Van Halen's David Lee Roth. The odds are really against you out
there, whether you're a domesticated cat or a temperamental
vocalist in makeup and spandex."

"Moreover, can we expect rock stars to maintain that same
image of rebellious machismo without stumbling into
self-parody (see Gene Simmons and David Lee Roth)?"
- Chicago Tribune (June '05)
=====
"And then there are clowns of a whole 'nother order; the annoying,
smirking, precious, narcissistic breed; the ones who waltz through
life with such baseless high regard for themselves that one can't help
daydreaming about them running into a cadre of Hell's Angels in a
dimly lit bar and saying something really stupid to their
sergeant-at-arms.
Which brings us to David Lee Roth, he of the famous champagne
footbaths, distaste for green M&Ms, self-aggrandizing fairy tales
about apprehending knife-wielding assailants and the precious,
onstage flitting that calls to mind Richard Simmons with a beehive
glued to his glutes.
While I take heart that this former primping pretty boy now sports a
purplish homeless-guy skintone, a hideously stringy mop of straw
crowning his thinning, vein-encrusted pate"

"When Diamond Dave Roth ankled the Halens to go solo in 1985, the
smart money was on Dave to run away with the legacy...But after one
good CD, Roth went soft and the Halens wound up raking in more
moolah, and scoring even more hits, than they did when fronted by
their first ham."

"Normally, there's no stupider move in rock than leaving a popular

=====
"The newly pious David Lee Roth has switched careers from Van Halen
frontman to paramedic, and is pleased nobody now recognizes him
or asks for an autograph while he's working, a trend we anticipate
will continue for all eternity. Roth, the serious-minded performer who
once asked, "Is it possible to insure my dick?" has already saved a
life by using a defibrillator and perhaps countless others just by not
singing."
- Edmonton Sun (Nov '04)
=====
"A cross between an ageing porn star and the Cowardly Lion from the
Wizard of Oz, the last time I saw Lee Roth was on stage, where he
was suggestively wedging his microphone down the front of his pants.
God knows where he's storing the defibrillator pads.
There comes a time in every rich artist's life when they may consider
changing careers. Maybe, like Lee Roth, that choice is thrust upon
them by an absence of sales and fans."
- Scotland On Sunday (Nov '04)

"With his fortunes once again at low ebb, David Lee Roth has decided he
might as well jump into a new career."

=====
"David Lee Roth, ex-Van Halen singer and cheesy video king, has been
training as a paramedic with a New York ambulance crew.
That's right, you lucky New Yorkers, the rollerskating, pink-spandexed
ninny from the "California Girls" video may hold your fate in his
hands."
