Lee Roth

Why?

Because when Lee Roth was lead singer all the chicks in my class didn't care for Van Halen.

When Hagar was lead singer, all the chicks loved Van Halen.

I think you know what I'm gettin at, and it has nothing to do with their looks.

My favorite moment in...uh...

**** it. My favorite moment in the Spongebob Squarepants movie was when, in the middle of his rock song at the end, he does the David Lee Roth scat singing from Just a Gigolo.

I liked Van Halen alot with David Lee Roth, but he had become a cartoon character, so when Sammy replaced him, it was a breath of fresh air. His voice has nice range too, so the band could do some new things.

I always thought of DLR as a good frontman, where Sammy was a musician.

MEDIC ROCKS WITH DOCS

By ERIKA MARTINEZ

November 16, 2004 -- Legendary Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth has

stopped "runnin' with the devil" to do God's work - riding ambulances

in gritty neighborhoods throughout the city to become a paramedic.

The famed rocker has cut his trademark blond mane and dropped his

celebrity persona so he can ride unrecognized with ambulance crews in

The Bronx, Manhattan and Brooklyn several nights a week.

Several weeks ago, the charismatic crooner saved the life of a Bronx

woman who had a heart attack by shocking her back to life with a

defibrillator.

The Post caught up with Roth last week as the 1980s icon grabbed a

slice of pepperoni pizza after sitting for hours in an ambulance

waiting for a call.

Just three days earlier, he had played to an adoring rock-'n'-roll

crowd in Minnesota.

Roth, 49, initially expressed reservations about discussing his latest

endeavor because he felt publicity "would diminish what I am trying to

do here."

But the following day, he told The Post more about his new passion.

"I have been on over 200 individual rides now," Roth told The Post.

"Not once has anyone recognized me, which is perfect for me."

"It has been an eye-opening adventure," said Roth, who asked The Post

not to disclose which "very colorful neighborhoods" he works in because

he doesn't want to draw attention to himself or his colleagues.

Linda Reissman, Roth's EMS consultant and tutor, said she didn't know

what to expect of her famous pupil at first, but "he has probably

turned out to be one of the best students I have ever had."

"I am amazed," said Reissman, who is training Roth for Brooklyn-based

company Emergency Care Programs Inc.

Reissman described Roth as very studious, punctual and hungry for

knowledge.

"He is very serious," she said. "You would never know you were dealing

with a rock-'n'-roll guy, his commitment really is touching. He wants

to help people."

The singer, who is used to being onstage in a packed arena, sees at

least one similarity in his two careers.

"I am a member of a team again, and that's what a rock band always

was," Roth said.

dude just because he isnt old enough doesn't matter. I'm 15 but i love Van Halen and have a few cds from each singer, yes even the gary cherone one. I always kind of liked them but when my guitar teacher said to look up on them and i did. I can now play every song on Van Halen 1. David lee roth was the best and will always be known as Van Halen
