Found a few things interesting from those clips. I had not realized that Roth had auditioned for Van Halen several times and kept getting rejected. Eddie got tired of singing and desperate and Roth was hired. Roth wanted a party band atmosphere with singing lots of covers. I always wondered why Van Halen did so many cover songs. It was Roth making them record them. Eddie wanted to experiment musically and Roth was against it. Even when Roth released a solo EP, they were of cover songs California Girls and Just A Gigolo. They never really got along and Roth tried to ban all girlfriends from back stage which was direct aim at Valerie, Eddie's future wife. Roth is hated in so many circles. If Ozzy hates you know you are a jerk.
