Roth is one weird dude. It’s no wonder Eddie and the band didn’t dump him a lot sooner…
They didn’t dump him because he was smart and a big star, Van Halen was just a local garage band. it was Roth who pushed them to sucess, It was even Roth’s idea to call the band Van Halen they had some goofy name before that. Roth even drew up the logo.
