More quotes by David Lee Roth
Rap is poetry to music, like beatniks without beards and bongos.
David Lee Roth
A song without a hook is like a train without rails. It skitters all over the place, bangs into everything. Boom! Crash! There goes Grand Central Station. Crushed by a train.
David Lee Roth
The best time is during the struggle. The top of the mountain is usually small, freezing and lonesome. To this day I'm continually reinvesting myself in something new. I'm not afraid to start as a beginner in anything.
David Lee Roth
I'm not conceited. Conceit is a fault and I have no faults.
David Lee Roth
My ambition is to further create a signature sound, a signature spirit, that makes some kind of contribution to music in general.
David Lee Roth
When you can spell subpoena without thinking about it, that's when you know you've made it.
David Lee Roth
You want a hero in the music world? James Brown. He brought a feeling to music without really using words. He's just famous for his sound.
David Lee Roth
Audience participation should extend from on-stage to backstage to under the stage
David Lee Roth
If you put a Van Halen album in your record collection, it will melt all the rest of your records.
David Lee Roth
Remember, life is just a game and no one gets out alive
David Lee Roth
Classic Van Halen made people want to dance and f**k. Modern Van Halen makes you want to drink milk and drive foreign cars.
David Lee Roth
I'm a family oriented guy I've personally started four or five this year.
David Lee Roth
On parties it's not about who you are. The real reason to which a party revolves is how good you look.
David Lee Roth
I don't get all the women that I want... I get all the women that want me.
David Lee Roth
Nine times out of 10 when people do a tribute album or tribute songs for somebody, it's what I call 'white boys playing reggae'. They know they can't, we know they can't, so they sing like they can't and play like they can't. They gently make fun of the idiom or sing in a false accent.
David Lee Roth
It's not who wants to sleep with you It's who wants to sleep with you again.
David Lee Roth
Stick your head above the crowd and eventually somebody will throw a rock at it.
David Lee Roth
He who knows how will always work for he who knows why.
David Lee Roth
If you subtracted all of the great artists who never drank, who never went to excess, you wouldn't have any more art left. What kind of poem are you gonna get out of a glass of iced tea?
David Lee Roth
Whether I'm on for a day or whether I'm on for a year, at the end of the day, I sing for my dinner.
David Lee Roth
