David Lee Roth fired back at critics with a new song after his weird dance clip.
The singer shared the song ‘Giddy Up’ actually for his 17-episode comic book, ‘The Roth Project’ in 2020. He now released it with its video on YouTube where he is seen driving a bike.
Fans seemed to really like it. “That was awesome! Really like that tune. Glad to see Dave is out being himself, making great songs in pure Dave fashion,” a person said in the comments.
Another fan wrote, “What a beautiful ride!!! Thanks for taking us along, keep enjoying life Dave you deserve it!!” One other individual added, “Love that Dave always will and always has lived his life to the fullest. A true original! A TRUE rockstar!”
In another video he shared a few days ago, Roth danced to Busy Signal’s ‘Balloon’ song. He used the same song seven months ago in a sepia-toned routine. This time, he seems to honor New York, dancing in front of screens showing city-related images.
The video shows a car moving towards Times Square. It includes pictures of famous New York businesses like Katz’s Deli, Umberto’s Clam House, and The Lenox Lounge. There are also album covers linked to the city, like John Coltrane’s ‘Blue Train’ and Sonny Rollins’ ‘Newk’s Time.’ The video also features tap dancer John W. Bubbles, the first Black dancer at Radio City Music Hall.
Still, fans had mixed opinions on the rocker’s video. A fan criticized him, saying, “He needs to stop. He always does the same old, same old bullsh*t. He can’t sing anymore. He needs to get over himself.”
Another one defended Diamond Dave, writing, “Let the man do Dave. What’s it to ya? It’s HIS stage. Don’t watch it if you don’t get his vibe.”
‘The Roth Project’ features music by John 5 on guitar and bass, Greg Bissonette on drums, Brett Tuggle on keyboards, and Luis Conte on percussion. Besides ‘Giddy Up,’ the other four songs are ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow Bar And Grill,’ ‘Alligator Pants,’ ‘Lo-Rez Sunset,’ and ‘Manda Bala.’
