Roth Sued By His Former Webmasters
November 9, 2001 -
The New York Post reported today
that the Manhattan-based public relations
firm 2 Guys Who Do Ads
is suing David Lee Roth. The lawsuit was filed yesterday in the Manhattan
State Supreme Court and charges that the former Van Halen frontman owes
the company $110,428.91 in outstanding fees.
Roth hired the company in 1997 to create his official web site (now
offline). Shortly after, 2GWDA turned their previously unofficial
slawterhouse.com
web site (now offline) into the official David Lee Roth site.
Slawterhouse's very outspoken "anti-Van Halen" attitude was toned
down a little after it was anointed as Dave's official site, but
features such as "the lounge" were kept and remained popular until
the site was taken offline without notice in late September.
2 Guys Who Do Ads are credited in the liner notes of Roth's 1997
autobiography Crazy From The Heat, as well as his recent
albums The Best (1997 - Rhino) and DLR Band (1998 - Wawazat!!).
Known to Roth's Internet fans as the anonymous "TK", representatives
from 2 Guys Who Do Ads looked after the day to day operations of
Dave's mailing list (the DLRML) and his official web sites
davidleeroth.com,
dave-tv.com and
rothradio.com.
They also designed t-shirts and album artwork.
TK hadn't been heard from publicly since September 8. My emails to
them in the days after the September 11 tragedy remain unanswered.
