Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth made a recent appearance on the PodKats podcast hosted by John “Kats” Katsilometes of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The Van Halen frontman is currently in the middle of his Las Vegas Residency which lasts for nine dates. During the interview he revealed how he was supposed to have his first residency in 1995 but was fired from the gig over an inappropriate joke telling Katsilometes

I was at that show! Saw Cheap Trick there the next day.

Van Halen really was the first hard rock band that chicks could like, without becoming a “chick band”.

Oh come on, Michael Anthony and Alex Van Halen probably, had some relations with the groupies, Eddie fell in love withe Valerie, and with Roth no one knows.

What.... You don’t like “Bop... bozdee, bozdee, bop... ziddy bop?” Nobody cares for me! Nobody! :-(

...or...

“Ain’t talkin’ ‘bout love. My love is rotten to the core.”

“I DO CCCCCCOCCCAIN!”

I liked this:

“I knew David Bowie,We shared strong drink on more than several occasions. … I was in a studio in New York, a phone call came through … [and Bowie said,]

’David, I’m kind of in a quandary, and I’m being serious. I’m going to tell you something, and tell me what you think. … I bought furniture.’”

“I bought furniture”
The trap was sprung!

Funny!
BTW they all knew what kind of person Michael Jackson was even way back then.

“I had a couple of Mambo girls, and a couple of the Mambo girls were dancing, and I said, ‘Look at them, ladies and gentlemen — so hot, Michael Jackson would quit the Boy Scouts.’

I just couldn’t get into David Lee Roth. His ego put me off. My BFF and I back then used to make fun of his mincing around in videos. “You just *know* he does that in the mirror all the time,” we’d say.

Now, Roger Daltrey back then is another story. {swoon}
