David Lee Roth recently dove into the topic of spit on his YouTube show, ‘The Roth Show.’ The former Van Halen singer shared that ‘there’s a time and place for spit’ and then gave an example of a girl she met at the Electric Daisy Carnival, stating why he’d ‘undeniably’ submit to whatever she would want, including spitting. He said:
“In fact, I’m going to illustrate the time we were at the Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas. We were standing in front, waiting for the helicopter to arrive. A young lady comes walking by, she’s got my hair cut, or I have her hair cut, and we’re interviewing people just scattered great looking gal, so I danced up to her, and I said, ‘Oh my God, I think I just borrowed your haircut.'”
The rocker added that although he often complains about spitting, the girl he met for 14 seconds at the festival would have changed his mind. He continued:
“We interviewed her for 14 seconds, and she got called away. I knew her for 14 seconds, and I knew right away in my mind unconsciously, subconsciously, and right up front in the medulla oblongata that if she came up to me and asked me in that adorable accent, she said, ‘David Lee, I want a French kiss you, and I’m going to warn you in advance there’s going to be some spit involved,’ I would not have thought for a f*cking second neither would you.”
Roth did talk about his thoughts on spitting on his show but he had also shared a decade ago on Huff Post Live that he insured his penis, ‘Little Elvis,’ for $1 million. The rocker explained:
“Somebody said, ‘We’ll have to insure Edward’s fingers because he will be using those a lot on the road. And Alex Van Halen’s elbows, you know. Drummers use their elbows a lot; we’re going to have to insure those elbows because he’s going to be using those a lot. And I said, ‘What about Little Elvis? We’re going to be using him a lot.'”
