David Lee Roth’s Latest Comments on Sammy Hagar are Weird Even for Diamond Dave

David Lee Roth shared some rather interesting comments about Sammy Hagar via his YouTube channel.

As Diamond Dave is wont to do, he went on a lengthy stream of consciousness about Hagar. It involved the Red Rocker's story of allegedly being abducted by aliens and his knack for talking about DLR in the press. Roth thinks Hagar can't stop talking about him in interviews because he was "sex probed" during his alleged abduction.

Roth equates Hagar potentially being probed to jamming half a popsicle into a cassette tape player and removing said popsicle from the player, thus, forever altering it.

" ... That tape player will never play the same again, no matter how carefully you try and fix those delicate little parts," said DLR. "And it'll get worse and it'll seem like the singer that you used to [be] will stop making sense whatsoever, a lot like Sam."

If you thought Roth's comments were weird, let's look back on Hagar recounting the tale of him being abducted by aliens.

In September 2021, Hagar spoke with Mystery Wire and was asked about his alien encounter claim. He says the incident happened in the mid-'60s and staunchly says it "100% happened."

Hagar said it felt like someone was tapping into his mind. He recalled seeing an object with two creatures in it. Then, he says these creatures said, "Oh, he's waking up," yelled out a foreign numerical code and felt an electrical charge leaving his body.

Next thing he knew, Hagar woke up in his bed, and his bedroom was "infinity white." He claims he was "completely paralyzed," then suddenly, everything went black. Once that happened, Hagar said he broke out in a sweat, was shaking and felt physically drained.

Hagar doesn't think these aliens were trying to harm him. Instead, he thought, "I think they were just interested like, you know, we do with animals. So they had advanced technology, they were sucking my brain to see what I knew."

David Lee Roth is one of rock's greatest frontman and, overall, one of music's most unique characters.

When he's on stage, he's the ultimate showman. When he's off stage and talking with the press, he walks a line between brilliant and insane. One minute, he takes off on a stream of consciousness that convinces you he's not all there. Then he'll throw out a surprising one-liner that'll make you think, "Holy s---...Diamond Dave's has been smarter than all of us this whole time."

Roth will often release his "stream of consciousness" moments on YouTube nowadays. Back in February, he released a clip about his music video for "California Girls." Roth, of course, released his cover of the Beach Boys classic in 1985. The cover was featured on the EP Crazy from the Heat. That EP title would be recycled by Roth as the title of his 1997 autobiography.

Roth reflected in the video, "On a personal note: I feel fairly confident saying that these were some of the best times in my life, not the times on stage that my dad most envied about me. These were probably the moments everyone else's dad envied most about my life, and looking back now, even I envy me."

It's comments like that that set DLR apart from most rock figures, both past and present. During his heyday, Roth was one of rock's biggest stars because he was fronting one of the biggest bands in the world. Plus, not enough can be said about his stage presence. How could you not love those high kicks and toe touches?! Even today, he's often more interesting than most "current" lead singers in rock. Then again, who else could really replicate his unique brand of madness?

In honor of years of zaniness, let's wish a happy birthday to the one, the only David Lee Roth by looking back at these ten quotes attributed to him.
