More quotes by 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
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
You want to know if we're animals? When I'm on stage with the volume rippling my body like a glass of water and thousands of people are generating heat in my direction, there's no time for thought. My basement facilities take over completely. Sure it's animal. People might like to talk about art, but look where art is, in the gutter.
David Lee Roth
A lot of rock bands are truly a legend in their own minds.
David Lee Roth
Give me a glazed doughnut, and a bottle of anything... to go!
David Lee Roth
I'm not conceited. Conceit is a fault and I have no faults.
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
Nobody's going to get a hot dog at my concert!
David Lee Roth
You know what rock musicians are? They are hung up, neurotic, over-weight hippies with sex problems.
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 gotta learn the alphabet, backwards and forwards. And then the choice is yours, 'cause last I looked, the Bible is written in the same words, the exact same alphabet, as my favorite pornography. Choice is yours.
David Lee Roth
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real.
David Lee Roth
Rap is poetry to music, like beatniks without beards and bongos.
David Lee Roth
Maybe I'm like acts of Congress or your favorite Chinese restaurant - you don't really want to know what's going on behind the door. I'm a real study in contrast, I expect, looking from without. But it adds up to what you get on stage.
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
If you put a Van Halen album in your record collection, it will melt all the rest of your records.
David Lee Roth
Women are great. When they dig you, there's nothing they won't do. That kind of loyalty is hard to find - unless you've got a good dog.
David Lee Roth
I just wanted to be in show biz. I wanted to make music and sing and dance, tell jokes and stories, make ya smile, make ya cry - and charge you $ 8.50
David Lee Roth
I don't get all the women that I want... I get all the women that want me.
David Lee Roth
It dont matter WHAT your doin, ust as long as you LOOK GOOD doin it
