Dave was in a UK paper yesterday

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Yesterday, Dave was in the UK paper The Daily Mirror :eek:

Dave is NEVER in UK papers, so this was a nice suprise in the morning. But, the article was POORLY researched, and was in some guys column, so, it has to have a "funny" comment somewhere. This is it...



"CAN'T FACE THE ROTH

Ah, David Lee Roth. The very name makes certain women weep.

Fortunately, as a trained paramedic, he is now on hand to supply the dressing.

The former spandex-clad Van Halen frontman gave up rock music in 2004, cut off his hair and er...changed direction.

'I've worked as a paramedic at least 200 times and nobody has ever recognised me', he explains.

It's probably just as well. How would you like it if the man who once sang Jump put a defibrillator on your chest?"

didnt you guys know that rotharmy was pick of the week in the guardian newspaper over the summer. The guardian is a traditionally high-brow "liberal" paper, but it recognised the genius that is DLR and this site. plus I like the paper generally, cos i'm politically left wing. it was just nice to see this site mentioned in it,very surprised by it

Roth Army

Oliver Hurley
Friday August 27, 2004
The Guardian

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.

how short is his hair now? i heard somehwere he got buzzed pretty much

[Hardrock69]

Well you could reasonably expect him to do that if he was going to train with the military....

And that was a great thing about us and Uncle Dave in The Guardian...I also am surprised.

They desribed us rather well, I might add...
