“There’s a little bit of Dave in every mother f*!#er out there!”

Who else can make that claim so boldly? Nobody else but David Lee Roth, of course. Dave is back with another episode of The Roth Show. Among the highlights are Dave talking about his retirement, the Van Halen studio/live recordings and how he, Eddie and Alex had reently talked about touring stadiums with Queen.

Here are some of the topics Dave covers:

  • Dave’s love of professional bull riding
  • Tryin’ not to shoot the curb while skateboarding & other spectacular crashes
  • Why Howard Stern belongs in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
  • Dave’s coming out of retirement?
  • Where the Van Halen swagger came from
  • What’s Dave up to nowadays?
  • Behind the Van Halen studio/live recordings
  • Brian May and other “signature sound” guitarists
  • Van Halen wanted to open for Queen
