DAVID LEE ROTH Profile Ep39pt7 KASR VIDEO

Featuring an artist EPK profile on the Diamond extrordinaire: David Lee Roth and his 1994 release of Your Filthy Little Mouth!

Kasrvnotebook: David Lee Roth (sometimes referred to as "Diamond Dave") (born 10 October 1954, Bloomington, Indiana) is an American rock vocalist, songwriter, actor, author, and former radio personality, best known for his work with the band Van Halen. After leaving Van Halen, Roth started his own career as a solo artist. His early albums were well received, but starting in the early 1990s, subsequent releases fared successively worse as popular musical tastes changed and Roth's band underwent numerous personnel changes.

Roth has re-united with Van Halen, and the group is currently touring North America. In 2008, an album and further worldwide touring are proposed to follow. David Lee Roth is the son of the late Nathan Roth, a prominent ophthalmologist, and Sibyl Roth. He is the brother of Allison and Lisa Roth. Roth's paternal grandparents immigrated to Indiana from Ukraine. Roth's uncle, Manny Roth, is an influential New York City nightclub owner and entertainment entrepreneur. Manny Roth built and owned the famous New York establishment Cafe Wha? in the early 1960s, when the likes of Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix were working there, seven-year-old David Lee got his first taste of, and desire for, show business from the inside by hanging out at "Cafe Wha?"

Roth moved to Pasadena, California, in his teens after living in Swampscott, Massachusetts, and Bloomington.

Roth was educated at The Webb Schools in Claremont, California and John Muir High School in Pasadena. He later attended Pasadena City College (as did the Van Halens), although he did not graduate. His good friend Jesse Johnson was a major influence on him.

About the actual episode:
Another typical day at the radio station as T-ROC and Slavegirl host this edition when unexpectedly the door flies open and in walks the un-dead BOBBY DIABLO with KRYSTAL METH! Where has he been all these months and if he's not dead then who was killed in the hot tub?

"Don't expect a lot from this show." Was the unofficial motto of KASR VIDEO, which made a pleasant surprise when we actually knocked out a great show! The program was a weekly 2 hour public access offshoot of the Arizona State University's original alternative radio station that aired in Phoenix. The music video show featured rarely seen videos, interviews and profiles and mostly "new" music not in the "main corporate radio/video stream." Along with non-conventional interviews it became a decent way to nurse a hangover with the midnight party crowd. These clips are edited as a sort of best of; minus the music videos.
