1. Ever heard of retirement?

2. I’m 75, and a musician all my life. As Clint Eastwood said, “a man has to know his limitations”. Apparently Roth doesn’t.

3. I have a future as a singer?

4. …The last reunion tour I ever saw was Led Zeppelin a long time ago, and I REALLY wish I hadnt.

   Leave us with the memories, guys and gals.

   No one is 30 forever.

14. He’s either wearing a wig or had hair plugs because a few yrs ago he was pretty much bald.
    That was just sad

15. Hanoverfist, “Danger Will Robinson.” Geriatric tours by any old rock and roll bands from the 60’s and 70’s need to have stopped 20 or more years ago.

16. Obviously, the man’s got bills to pay…..!

17. I would suggest never going to a ‘concert’ where the headliner may require CPR. It is not worth the potential psychological damage.
    It’s best to just ride into the sunset – for everyone!!

18. I feel violated by seeing that

    “I would suggest never going to a ‘concert’ where the headliner may require CPR.”

    …there was actually quite a bit of that after they rolled out The Jab, and age had nothing to do with it…

    …and then theres THIS guy…

    …no, the 70 yo Mr. Roth probably doesnt need a stress test, but in these post-Coof Goof and overfed days it would probably be a good idea to have an AED around no matter WHO is headlining as anyone these days might have the curtain come down far more ‘suddenly’ than they expected…

20. His vocal timbre was great for Van Halen, but othwewise i didnt like him at all.

21. They re-worked the lyrics:

    I went ahead and jumped,
    and broke my hip because I jumped.

22. When your singing and all the audiences imagines is you yelling “Get off my lawn!” it’s time to get off the stage.
    Retire and sit your old butt down. Go work with a charity or something that doesn’t include singing off tune and risking stroking out on stage.

24. Ozzy Osbourne was great right to the end; now that he’s dead, he still sounds better than David.

25. So, when’s Keith Richards gonna croak. Or have all the illegal drugs that he’s ingested in his life made him already amongst the walking dead.

26. No longer hot for teacher.
    Maybe for a nurse instead.

    Oh dear.

27. ^^^^^ LOL, I bet he feels tardy these days.

28. Nurse Ratched or Nurse Diesel?

29. I liked Sammy Hagar as their singer for a time, but Dave was ‘fun’.
    Oh well.

30. He’s all tatted up and wearing leather. His attempt at looking like a young rocker is a failyuh.

    If he tries to jump, he’ll likely just fall with a thud.

    I believe Keith Richards is already embalmed. His family will save big on funeral expenses.

32. There’s only one reason that band was huge. And it was their name sake. Roth had real problems with that. Sammy didn’t.

34. EDDIE WAS BEYOND AMAZING

    I USED TO FLY SINGLE ENGINE PUTT PUTTS FROM VAN NUYS, CROSS OVER PP OR MALIBU, GO UP AND DOWN THE COAST

    I DID A DOUBLE TAKE ON ONE HOP OVER THE MALIBU CANYONS WHEN I SPOTTED A POOL SHAPED LIKE A GUITAR, AND REALIZED I HAD LOCATED THE HOME OF THIS 6 STRING EXTRAORDINAIRE

    HE WAS SIMPLY AWESOME

35. 1984: Being hip.
    2025: Breaking hip.

    Time makes fools of us all.

    But some help it do so more than others…

36. I recently saw Frankie Vallie, at Hardrock Bristol casino, the guy is 91 years old. Honestly I felt kinda sad for him. It reminded me of Joe Biden’s last debate.

38. ⚡⚡ DAVID LEE ROTH ⚡⚡

39. I remember when I was over at my friend Scott’s house and he said “…check this band out” and put the first album on.

    Reckon I’m getting old.

40. Man is doomed to fail. All of us. Wealth be damned. Nobody gets out alive. Melonhead, Springsteen, Meatloaf, all come to mind. You don’t have to go home but get off stage please.
