In reference to DLR Bridge's post on 2/8 "In a little more than a half a year, the guy turns 59. Most guys his age struggle to pick up the morning paper off the front porch. "...

You're both wrong.... He was born in '54, he's 57 right now, turns 58 in October....Eat Us And Smile - The Originals

The thing about lying about their ages in the early days is interesting. Ed once said - in the post-Dave Van Hagar era when they were at loggerheads - that Dave was the one who always wanted to be in his 20s forever.
But when you look at it - it was Ed who had the most age knocked off. The publicity machine used say he was born in '57, when in fact he is only three months younger than Dave (his birthday is Jan. 55, and Dave's is Oct '54).
Dave used to knock a year off his age, Ed two years - and Al and Mike were honest!!THINK LIKE THE WAVESComment

But - http://www.amazon.com/David-Lee-Roth/e/B000APZPEG - on the right, the bio says '55.
Who knows for sure.......Comment

sources, anyone? I have seen his birthdate listed several times as October 10, 1955,
but if they have been lying about their ages, who knows how many internet sources may be off....
Just curious, VA...where did you get the '54 date?
Wiki, Time,and 3-4 other sources say '55
Q103 says '54
digtriad and 1 other source i pulled up says October 9th, not 10th....

Dave nails it in his book - in his own words - 'I was born in Bloomington, Indiana, October 10, 1954' (p. 11)
And in the video interview with DLR, Ed and Al - posted here last week - Ed says 'we left Holland in 1962, when I was seven', or words to that effect.
The incorrect dates of birth still circulate, because journalists and the like look at old clippings and biosTHINK LIKE THE WAVESComment

I've done it & could still hear the music just fine. I always take a pair in the pocket and then decide once a show starts. I got tired of getting in my car the next morning only to jump out of my skin when the stereo came on loud enough to wake God. DAMN! I swear it was at a normal volume on the drive home.
Plus I've had shows where my ears rang for many days after. And that sucked. It all depends really on where you are sitting whether you should pop em in or not. Can't hurt to take some though.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”Comment
