Roth on Joan Rivers

[airtimejunkie]

I'm pretty sure this is from the taping of the Johnny Carson Show that I attended on Halloween in 1985. Joan Rivers was the guest hostess and the guests included Pee Wee Herman, Elvira, and Phyllis Diller. Because it was Halloween, Pee Wee was dressed as Dracula, Phyllis Diller was impersonating Dr. Ruth Westheimer, and Elvira was Elvira. It was a great show! Thanks for posting the video!

[PolyphonicPress]

Cocaine.

[fingerstylefan]

He is wasted.!.!.!

[7beers]

Nice interview.

[SuperAlexrios]

THESE TWO ARE THE BEST JEWUSH PERFORMERS

[HDMann292]

roth is van halen!!

[davidallenroth]

greatest frontman ever

[junkyturd]

I think every girl wanted to ride him but not want to get serious with him because he's just too way out there to take seriously.

[MOSKII58]

he can charm the skin off a python..the girls just love he & Eddie.. lucky guys they had quite a system for meeting women, of course they would select whomever struck their fancy and have those lucky girls waiting w/ all access passes in the backstage area or in their dressing rms or where ever the pass holders felt like hanging..what a time..

[americanryan]

cute onesie

[Scottthefish]

He is the next Ozzy. He fried his brain. Thinks he is a lot funnier than he is.

[Hunkola]

Sir Diamond Lee Roth ---- he got RAZZLE DAZZLE !!

[bumblescum64]

can sammy hagar dislike 10 times.?

[HighMindedLunacy]

Ah Dave...the best body in rock...with Robin McAuley a close second

[Pat9201]

@HighMindedLunacy just calling it the way i see it...rothies are in denial....he's gay.

[BlackLabelForLife]

@Pat9201 he's probably your dad cos he probably has a billion of em'

[Pat9201]

@BlackLabelForLife so what your saying is he's a scumbag who doesnt take care of his kids?

[BlackLabelForLife]

@Pat9201 yep and he's definatley not gay

[Pat9201]

@BlackLabelForLife im sorry,when i look at him i see a guy deep in the closet.

[lugger2010]

Lets see- Dave Roth= Honest(what you see/ what you get,), happy/ upbeat/ POSITIVE, live&let live, not preachy, doesnt go social/political, doesnt use the suffering of others to his own benifit(ie: Africa, womens issues, the poor) Doesnt talk/look down on others. Bono, Eddie Veddder, etc= Phoney, pretentious dishonest, Psudo-political, preachy, hypocritical, uses suffering of others for their own benifit, always negitive, whiny claim to hate money while hiding millions in tax shelters.

[wendileona]

@lugger2010 Just want to say, this is a great comment. Something to think about, because after VH+Roth yeah, U2 entered with their drama and melancholy bullshit, which opened the doors for other downers like Nirvana years later. We're still suffering to an extent from that new direction in Rock. I mean, hey, a few U2 albums for me are pretty amazing, but VH just was something more uplifting and fantastic.

g

[Pat9201]

im sorry but if roth isnt gay...nobody is.

[HighMindedLunacy]

@Pat9201 dudes who are always thinking/calling other guys gay usually want a dick up their themselves..why so obsessed with the butt fucking Pat ?

[Easleytee]

Bugs Bunny with genitals!!

Best front man in Hard Rock history.

[cford1992]

The fuck is he wearing? lol

[MrVanhalen5]

Hes a crazy mofo, but he is also very intelligent

[zenpupil1]

Dave is the Man - Hope he tours this summer

[NotNamedJones]

as big a dick and an asshole he mostly certainly is in real life, he's damn good as a rock singer and frontman.

[bytebull]

if she was't a muff diver whe would have been creaming.....

[boobaciss]

i dont hate hagar but i love roth

[jwesboy]

@boobaciss Hager DID replace Roth. Another chapter that DID work!!! Watch for VH and Hager reunion- COMING SOON!! :)

[jwesboy]

Hager DID replace Roth. Another chapter that DID work!!! Watch for VH and Hager reunion- COMING SOON!! :)

[NoNewsTV]

Van Halen was over the instant Dave was booted from the band. Not only a great (even exceptional) vocal talent, he is a dynamo stage performer and entertainer. VH never recovered from that loss.

And Joan Rivers is great, too.

[zeppelin67637]

@NoNewsTV uh i love David lee roth but, funny how Van Halen became bigger after DLR....

[NoNewsTV]

@zeppelin67637 Size is relative. VH without Roth seemed a shadow of its former self. With Roth, they were larger than life.

[zeppelin67637]

@NoNewsTV But thats nothing more then opinion not fact. Don't get me wrong, Loved the Roth years as much as the Hagar years.

[jtomasik]

Now, I dig the music of VH and the antics of Roth, but I gotta admit that glam was the beginning of the end for the core musicians. Zappa called it (listen to his song Punky's Whips). VH was cool, but they helped the demise even though they were a fantasting band. Strange twist of events...

[mlmr11]

Is Daves face on the cover of the Talmud ?

[TheHockeyCentral]

Was Joan Rivers EVER young?

[zeppelin67637]

@TheHockeyCentral lol not in my life time, and im fucking old

[stupidjerk42094]

@wtfitsdaveyj hahahah good point. Sheehan is an animal!!!!

[realdrummer110]

He's a non singing fudge packer..Always will be a nothing technically..

[carensaldi]

Fucking FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGG...... I wanna puke!!

[ptsmmrs]

@wtfitsdaveyj btw im not sure how having $80 million plus in the bank makes someone a loser?must be roth logic.

[ptsmmrs]

@wtfitsdaveyj why is it that when you are critical of dave roth it instantly goes back to sammy? dave twirls a mic stand like a baton,is a "snappy" dresser and has never really been seen with a woman=gay.

[ptsmmrs]

@wtfitsdaveyj you guys are all the same...that was a real nice solo (ahem) career dave had...LOL eddie was van halen!!!!

[unclejoe1917]

@ptsmmrs Yeah, okay Van Hagar sold more albums. So did Brittany Spears. Yankee Rose, Just Like Living in Paradise, Just a Gigolo and California Girls were better than anything those as*clowns did after Dave left. There are a lot of acts out there that would gladly settle for that many hits.

[ptsmmrs]

@unclejoe1917 dave dresses like that and you call the other guys "assclowns"...lmao...yankee rose was ok but other than that i never really heard anything any good come from solo dave roth.

[Canaboy12]

a master of words and never at a loss for words; valways well loved david lee roth

[ptsmmrs]

@wtfitsdaveyj typical roth fan response,its not a question if he can get the women,its if he actually "wants" the women.

[dudey91]

I don't think DLR has a dick.

[victorsblock]

@dudey91

oh? did you bite it off when sucking it?

[koolflattop666]

how old was Joan Rivers here about 60 yrs old i think

[EldestSauce]

@koolflattop666 50

[ptsmmrs]

no straight man wears that outfit.

[SilverstoneZED]

This was before Joan Rivers turned into the Crypt Keeper.

[davidallenroth]

great interview. ' shes a shy girl you're probably not use to that' epic

[Sawampbilly40]

He is gay. No shit, he really is gay. This was one of Eddies main problems with Dave plus Eddie was a drunken prick. Trust me.

[atomicplayboy4u]

painful LOL 

[xbutterxxcupx]

He is the king of the eighties lol

[geoffreyah]

Looks like frasier huh?

[YFitnessMan]

@geoffreyah Yeah, Lol!

[jimmyBang]

he'll always be the king of frontmen

[JeffGR4]

@jimmyBang Rock's top 5 frontmen: 1. Mick Jagger 2. Robert Plant 3. Ian Gillan 4. David Lee Roth 5. Steven Tyler

[ThoriumRex]

This dude is coked out of his mind.

[7beers]

Year?

[scittball]

@7beers 1986

[iloveshonenknife1]

What a dumbass! Maybe he should get a job as a radio DJ or an ambulance EMT.

[GeneralBeefheart]

DLR is funny as hell...but Joan Rivers had a talk show? Good Lord :P

[coolwrench39]

@GeneralBeefheart She filled in for Johnie Carson a lot in the eighties.. This is the Tonight Show..

[zzzthaoster]

he's funny and goofy at the same time, I can't believe he held up to be a great front man for van halen. He come off like he'd quit the band after a few rehearse sessions hehe.

[guidoyngwie]

funny im from LIma -peru and he's never played there...ever....but funny that he mentioned it though

[unclejoe1917]

@guidoyngwie I'm from Ohio and even more impressed that he knew Lima, Ohio.

[MrPetercar1]

I still wonder if anything was actually filmed for the movie or did it never get that far off of the ground? Would definitely be interesting to see what they had done if anything.

[SonnyGTA]

I wanna see the movie!!

[racer500gp]

It was never made.

[cdawghimself]

what year this be?

[Hunkola]

Dave is the coolest frontman who ever lived........onstage or off he was entertaining as hell.

[superlou1s]

Fucking robert plant wanabe.

[bosoxyaz8]

very cool youtube rulz !

[Adnoydal]

She could singer louder than Dave.

[patfurlan]

the 80's called they want their suit back

[1984rockcity]

well...this is the 80's..sooo...your joke doesnt make sence

[mooch666]

what the hell is he wearing ? hahaha

[BurnRoddy]

That's Hawaian MIB suit fior you.

[lovinmn1995]

Hes cool! I'd lovee to meet him ! He seems like he'd be a cool person to hang with!!

[originalVHfan]

Happy B-day Diamond Dave!

[mmare1]

Good personality.

[BIGART1950]

Is he a FAG or what????

[BurnRoddy]

Definitely a what, not a fag

[tracyterry]

he looks like the vomit you leave in the toilet after eating at a luau

[BurnRoddy]

Now duuude you should take more care of your diet, try coconuts and shrimp instead of rockstars

[semerson22]

I don't think he is coked up........just really odd. He is the best!

[durtmagert]

cocaine

[Equestrianable]

POOOOOOOR DAAAAAVE!!!

Pamela Anderson took his spot

[ForeverDiamond18]

[neverscrub12]

[sal1115]

[91453378]

KING DAVE

[wjv4me]

Diamond Dave rocks and keeps on...

thank God!

[shutupmutherfucker]

Roth Rulz

[src0872]

at 2:30 Dave soundls like crusty the clown

[MTXSHO9732vV8SHO]

Bullshit! He looks like Dr. Rockso the Clown or Rockso looks like him.

Either way... people on cocaine make me laugh.

[gameshowluvr86]

@src0872 David Lee Roth has the most awesome laugh EVER!!!

[CrosbyStillsNashYoun]

Haha, witty comment!!!

But I do love Diamond Dave ^_^

Great front man!

[REVHE4D]

He is allways so happy, most pple should be like this, its a shame there are so may peeps with dicks in there ass nowadays, lighhten up pple.

[1pick2sticks]

The Fabulous Van Halen brothers have him on a short leash now. No interviews for Dave on the horizon I would imagine.

[SwayzeLuva101]

ROTH!!!!!! sorry but no Sammy for me.

[OnTheLibraryComputer]

...cool yeah, the best place to find interesting people to cast in film is on the street. Diamond Dave's insight strikes again.

[pepp5150]

Dave who!!!! Sammy rock's ........... n o--?

[davidallenroth]

man this is when dave went to far being flamboyount'sp'. people never realized how brilliant his mind was even being fried on coke half the time.

[Hunkola]

God broke the mold when he created the one and only Diamond Dave! "What does Michael Jackson look like when he's furious?".....LOL......Dave always had the funniest jokes. Fuck all you Roth-haters.....Dave had 1000 times the personality of a boring twat like Sammay Hagar.......Hagar was a fake who couldnt stop yapping about his shitty tequila onstage......at least Dave talked about banging strippers at the hotel and drinking too much booze......he was a very entertaining rock star.

[john66674]

agreed 100% Roth all the fuckin way!!!!!!

[cford1992]

@Hunkola Still is man, Dave's still the shit even to this day. Fuck Suck Ass Sammy Hagar

[ckelley63]

@cford1992 FUCK YOUR MAMMY!!!!!!

[l7ebels]

@Hunkola and bon scott had a 1000 more times class, and natural cool being then this try hard pure dipshit.... most overrated band ever...........another shit interview here

[JLKnChrist]

Love Him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Antony2191]

What a Tool

[cdkuefler]

Dave is great! Free spirit all the way.

[ThoriumRex]

What a dope riddled loser. Living proof you can be worth millions of dollars and still be a complete waste of skin.

People got so sick of his sortid tales of womanizing, freak outs and drug laced temper tantrums.

Look at this clown, he is so high on coke he can't sit still for .00000001 seconds.

Truly one of the most over rated singers in history.

[Clnt874]

the only clown is someone who talks big on you tube and has no life themself you fucking loser

[meisonito]

man david lee is spanish?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿

or sometimes like that?¿?¿

[justentime66]

Hah....recreational drugs have taken away from his talent....what do you want to bet he lived your life X 1000?! If all you think he did was grunt then all's Plant ever did was scream...pretty narrow minded! They were both great at what they did and Roth is definately an original.

[evelskunny]

2 freaks

[picturesofpictures]

He seems like a fun decent sort.

[Transamstance]

He looks a lot like Goldie (Hawn?)

[rags847]

HaHa!  The real inspiration for Fast Times At Ridgemount High.

[gswatus]

Some may hate him from the comments but I bet you watched the whole thing...

[bullitbaba]

wah is that joan's pubes on his napper or maybe all the cuttings he's collected from all his pussy.HA ha

[bananchach]

Ufff cant Stand Joan Rivers..Stupid Bitch ...But Davids A Ledge....

[reditreefrog]

He was really high on something...It definitely took its toll on his ability to perform...He really never sang when he was originally with VH, he mostly talked and grunted through most of their songs...Watch some of their newer videos 07, their reunion tour clips... It might make people realise recreational drugs take away a persons talent or what's perceived as talent has been lost to drug abuse...

[pioallen17]

he's outta his tree ha ha ha

[bobthwart]

David is so brilliant. I really love the play between him and Joan as she is just as brilliant. If the collective conscious of the world existed within those brains then all would be better.

[Huckf113]

This was one of Dave`s first appearances in a wig!

[orville1960]

dick head

[KevyNova]

Hmmm... I don't remember ever seeing that "zillion dollar project" that he was talking about.

I'm glad Dave finally ended up with VH where he belonged all along. I hope they make an album.

[wjv4me]

He's soooo high-but what a guy! Only one

David Lee Roth-gotta love him. Glad he didn't

O.D.

[bobthwart]

David is so brilliant and beautiful in this that I have to assume that their break up must have been about power and money as Eddie and Alex were just the same. What a loss

[derekRTK]

hey p/flake is my nickname.daves movie was great.awesome career choice,give me abottle of anything and a glazed donut ,to go.

[inrk]

you can tell he's on the peruvian flake.he's awesome either way.

[Mottahead]

Dave is retarded. He doesn´t make much sense.

Yet he´s funny.

[Hunkola]

Dave is the most entertaining frontman in rock music history -- can you imagine how boring Van Halen would have been without him? Oh wait, that was Van Hagar....

[EVHSlightReturn]

Ole Dave's a character alright. And when did Joan Rivers go from almost tolerable to completely obnoxious and looking half like the cat lady with all the cosmetic surgery!

[mynameisntowens]

The FINAL "REAL" ROCK STAR and greatest front man of ALL TIME!

[babbitt95]

hes p.o.d

[DanKiwi]

Dave Is A Fucking Rock God.

[JLKnChrist]

He just reallllllllllllllllly smart people.

Looks like a wig on his head. God bless his heart. He looked great in Houston on 2/28/08.

[mrshenda]

He is as mad as a box of frogs but he is also MINT!

[BakedWalnut]

He does seem totally mad...

[mrshenda]

Yes he is, but without the likes this world would be dull don't you think?

[frenchy5150]

too much coke that's why,he's fucking nut

[Chimike73]

DLR is KING...often imitated, never duplicated. Simply the BEST!!!!

[sfmavs23]

assclown, no offense to dlr but thats eddies line often imitated never duplicated simply the best

[loveperry4ever]

Agree Honkola no more to be said about dlr.he was one of a kind!!!!!

[Huckf113]

Dave has worn hair pieces and wigs since 1987 when all his hair fell out at the front. He had a transplant in 2006, which failed. He currently wears a wig.

[Hunkola]

I always got tickled that so many rock stars sang about the rock star life and faked it but Diamond Dave actually lived it! There will never be another rock frontman as colorful and charismatic as him.....CASE CLOSED.

[Huckf113]

Dave before he became bald and fat.

[RebelliousHutterite]

When was he fat!?

[sniper763]

and when was he bald...

[RebelliousHutterite]

He definitely suffered hair loss, it looks to me like he had hair follicle transplant surgery at one point in time.

[wjv4me]

Very witty and great conversationalist, kept

up with Joan Rivers-wow! Thanks for this upload,

"The jungle studs.." LOL!

[drummer1brt2gzs]

those were the days when musicans were stars. i miss that. everything today is so corpoate...

[soulstice99]

this guy is lovin life...and if i had his life, i'd be smilin too

[wjv4me]

Cool post...thanks! He sounds high...very droll and sharp sense of humor!

[chcurly]

Getting my tickets tomorrow! I am doing a Van Halen tribute on jflradio dot com Mon Aug 20th from 7pm-9pm EST. This will be the real Van Halen, the Roth years! I am playing music and interviews, there is a shoutbox there for comments and fan participation.

[choosesarah]

Sarich: the only comparison was the child-like mannerisms they both have. How they both have SO much fun with what they're doing. Yeah, I don't think Dakota and Dave have much in common beyond that.

[choosesarah]

Actually I think she's 13 now, but yeah, she's an actress. Is this leading us to a point? My point was if you watch her interviews, she and Roth have a lot of the same excitability and mannerisms.

[choosesarah]

I'm not sure what you mean, in context. Do you know?

[johnsmdm]

and APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION was looming..reminds me of Rocky 3 when Rock was training like a chump and CLUBBER LANE was looming..

[choosesarah]

Does he remind anybody else of Dakota Fanning when she's interviewed on a talk show? Same mannerisms and inflections. Much more coke.

[5150texas]

Man I miss the mighty DLR with Van Halen... I'm glad the reunion didn't happen without Mikey though. I feel bad for Dave. From the interviews I read it seems like he had a good attitude about it this time around. Classic Van Halen is Dave, Mike, Eddie and Alex. NO ONE is replaceable. Hey Ed! Get cleaned up brother and get THE WHOLE BAND back together and let us throw money at you all summer long!! Is that to much to ask for?! :)

[MonkeyMagic88]

jEWS and media control = total tyranny !

[ouluvme2]

dock! eat your shirt...dave called your number bitch!

[dlriscute]

Love this guy... No one is like him. You're aweome darling!

[jakobfrederik]

Where is he now. Bold and old in drug rehab....again...

Yep fame is a dangerous drug.
