Episode 29 | David Lee Roth: The Evolution Of An Interview Artist


Listen Later

While most of what we read and hear about David Lee Roth focuses on the iconic music and videos he created with Van Halen along with his legendary live stage performances this episode of DISCovery will focus on his ability to give what may be the most interesting and entertaining interview of anyone in the history of rock and roll.

Travel back in time to 1978 and listen to interviews from a then unknown somewhat modest Dave Roth to the mid 80s and Diamond Dave, the overconfident, outrageously funny front man of the biggest band in the world.

Hear the transition he made from the always upbeat, always cool Diamond Dave to the at-times combative post-Van Halen breakup Dave of the late 80s and 90s. We’ll also hear from a former Dallas DJ who will tell us about his memorable experience interviewing Dave one-on-one in the studio in 1991. Finally, we’ll hear David Lee Roth aka “Uncle Dave” in the 2000s before and after he finally reclaimed his role as Van Halen lead singer.

He's the man who's lived the life of 100 rock stars put together and just can’t wait to tell us all about it. This is the story of David Lee Roth - the man who turned an interview into an art form.
