New Roth Interview (Forbes)

[FW1981]

"Finish those gaskets, Armin, I'm buying lunch." David Lee Roth has never been on a construction site. gaskets? really?

LOL,how true. Dave is not familiar with the concept of welding!

[FW1981]

All he talks about is dancing now. I would not be surprised to see Dave on Dancing With the Stars this fall.

I could see that. That may actually help their brand a bit.

[TheresOnlyOneWay]

God knows he won't be a judge on "The Voice".

[Daisy Hill]

LOL,how true. Dave is not familiar with the concept of welding!

aside from gaskets used in engines, I have never done a project that uses gaskets outside of compression fittings in piping or to seal up electrical conduit or insulate receptacle boxes. I can't think of any other use for gaskets. But I can't think of a job where "finishing up gaskets" would be anything that I would hear a site supervisor say to anyone. It just stuck out as an odd comment among a bunch of odd comments.

I've been telling my wife for years that I'm surprised Roth isn't on the show. Seems like it would be right up his alley.

He's getting restless. Whenever he seeks to goose the Van Halen's into action, he comes into the public light with some cryptic, zany, DLR crap.

Does it work? Of course not. So why do it?

If anything, it confirms that the Van Halen's are up to NOTHING, and he's frustrated with their inactivity.

The Wolf thing kinda blows my mind; we're into April, and fast approaching the one year anniversary of Wolf's completed work.

'I'd have to be an asshole to retire at 27. Who does that?'

How does he sit on a completed record for nine months?

Wolf ???? LMMFAO....

[VH1988]

WTF did I just read?

[ArtyBoy]

Besides what is being discussed what about him and marching band? I can't recall him playing in marching band.

All he talks about is dancing now. I would not be surprised to see Dave on Dancing With the Stars this fall.

On the old Gazzari's Dance Contest boot he does repeatedly tell the audience, "Don't just sit there polishing chairs! Get up and dance!" Then on the Pasadena High School one he says, "If you want to dance to heavy metal, dance to heavy metal. People will see that and say....,'They like heavy metal.'"

Dave is my boyhood idol. I still carry a list of my favorite quotes of his in my wallet to give me some pep when I need it. But as time goes by, I start to understand why this band folded in `85 or `86. We're only just now seeing what went on. The Van Halen brothers had been exposed to this in close proximity since they were teenagers.

If he's going to say he was misquoted, it's paragraph after paragraph of misquotes! By a magazine that deals in business and finance and has to be precise!

Perhaps our hero has a personality that doesn't hold up well to the overexposure provided by social media?

[Wruff_ajax]

I didn't know Dave played the saxophone. 1st chair even. Wow, that's very impressive, Dave.

[ArtyBoy]

I didn't know Dave played the saxophone. 1st chair even. Wow, that's very impressive, Dave.

"Eruption" is just a transcription of Dave's best saxophone solo.

[Van Squalen]

So we've gone from Sammy needs to STFU to Dave needs to STFU.

LOL. VH is so dead, we're working backwards now.

Regressive Van Halen. Sigh.

[TheresOnlyOneWay]

I didn't know Dave played the saxophone. 1st chair even. Wow, that's very impressive, Dave.

Yep, he blows.

[DRFC]

You can get away with this type of BS when you are young, high, good-looking, and super famous.

He's none of those things anymore, except perhaps high.

[Ashe]

I bet Eddie asks himself everyday, "How did I get stuck with this guy?"
