More quotes by 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
In the United States, you can put on a cowboy hat and join the country-western neighborhood. If you're down below 14th Street in New York City, that's bohemian that's left-wing.
David Lee Roth
Nobody's going to get a hot dog at my concert!
David Lee Roth
People ask me how far I've come. And I tell them twelve feet: from the audience to the stage.
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

David Lee Roth
Rap is poetry to music, like beatniks without beards and bongos.
David Lee Roth
I can teach you to jump up in five seconds-it takes years to learn how to land properly.
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
I used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass.
David Lee Roth
When I die, sprinkle my ashes over the 80's.
David Lee Roth
I think the two most difficult things to deal with in life are failure and success
David Lee Roth
Audience participation should extend from on-stage to backstage to under the stage
David Lee Roth
He who knows how will always work for he who knows why.
David Lee Roth
I'm not conceited. Conceit is a fault and I have no faults.
David Lee Roth
The world's a stage, and I want the brightest spot.
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
