David Lee Roth is to Radio, as George Bush is to America
I am a lifelong Howard Stern fan. I have my Sirius radio and I am ready to go. Stern starts on Monday so I decided to check out his replacement, the infamous David Lee Roth.
David is the ex-singer for the rock band Van Halen. Those of you who are childern of the 70s know David as the wild, womanizing front man who helped make Van Halen one of the biggest rock bands of that time. As time went on, David left the band and went on to a modestly successful solo career but nothing near the heights of fame brought to him by VH.
In 2006, Dave is kinder and gentler and has less hair. He is now an EMT/Helicopter pilot and in my opinion, not the man to be sitting in Howard Stern’s radio chair.
So what it the verdict?
Well, it’s not as bad as I expected but hardly listenable. Dave does not come off as the wild and crazy rock star he has been portrayed as. He is more like your crazy old uncle who still whistles at the young girls walking by. The best thing that Dave has going for him is that he is a likable guy. He is not trying to imitate Howard and frankly, I would rather listen to him than all of the other ASSHOLES that litter the radio. I’ll give you that David Lee Roth.
The downside is that, and I don’t know how to say this nicely, Dave switches subjects so fast that most of the time I have no idea what he is talking about. He sounds like a man babbling about everything pops into his head in order to fill up 4 hours.
When does Howard Stern start on Sirius?
