- Dr. Nathan Roth (father of David Lee Roth) on TV show "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" in 1984.
Dr. Roth was a wealthy eye surgeon in Los Angeles, CA --- living out his champagne wishes and caviar dreams! - Розваги
This man saved my sight back in 1967. He treated me for taxoplasmisis as a child. Boston eye and ear said there was no hope for me. God bless Dr. Roth
Amen !!!
I really and truly hope you called that other Practice back AFTER the other ones helped you with your vision...
That’s so spectacular!
His practice/place of business is still off of Huntington Blvd in San Marino
He's was a wonderful surgeon. His hands were made for it, he was created to do just that. We had a blast attending the Jules Stein events. He's be happy to know that!
Dr. Roth and I practiced American Kenpo in Pasadena, CA He was skilled and tough! He earned his Black belt while I was working on my Brown belt, we used to practice and spar together, it's weird beating on an elder but he could take it and dish it out very well. I could confide in Dr. Roth and he always had great wisdom and it helped me to understand on a higher level. I miss working out with him and having such a wise friend.
My hero had a hero for a father.
Summer AndLightning agreed
Agreed
If DLR is your hero you've officially failed at life.
@@TheJpep2424 shut up
Dr. Roth was my eye Doctor. I worked on the showcase house in 1984.
Fantastic!
It was very heartfelt to see how dedicated Dr Roth was to his family , community and patients . I loved reading the comments from actual clients 🙏
I still remember when Nathan was treating my macular degeneration on a regular basis. One time when I had an appointment for a check up his wife walked in with his newborn baby in a perambulator and he told me look this is my baby David back in 1954. Little did I know that that child would become a frontman for one of the worlds biggest rock bands.
Carlos Moreno I feel sorry you had to experience that
Cool story... I can imagine he was a handful
I thought Dave repeatedly spoke of times his dad was still in school
I smell something. Smells just like..it can’t be..is that bullshit? I think it is. No, I KNOW it is.
@@sherryleelawson3449 Sherry, you sound like a big DLR fan as I am. Well ...at least until 2009ish lol. I don't think I could go see Dave after 2009. I would get the CD he did with John 5 Lowery if he ever releases it.
I had no idea about any of this stuff I'd always heard it came from a well to do family and his dad was a doctor or something but I had no idea that he was such a great guy and contributed to the community and was such a good person
DLR'S Pop!! I believe Dave still lives in his old home!!
Was my Dr.at Melrose Wakefield Hospital in Massachusetts
Quite interesting. Enjoyed learning even more about Dave's family. Thank you.
No wonder diamond Dave's a genius
Behind every genius, there's a greater person who assisted them in getting there.
@@ilenesorensen4359 "Geniuses always give birth to mediocre children."
- Salvador Dali
Genius? No. Not by a long shot. Now the musicians that backed him up? They're geniuses..
Dave is a good showman, comes from good stock and has stunning good looks though..
@@robjettjr As a lead guitarist myself, I am still absolutely astounded by how innovative DLRs singing style was, nobody could do those sudden pinch harmonic style screeches and it facilitated ed to play his most outrageous stuff! People who study to the highest level of musicality are not geniuses to me, those who somehow forge something brilliant and new out of nothing are! Van Halen were all geniuses.
@@silvar4399 right !? I truly think Dave was one of the best and most clever lyricists there has ever been . His deep rich voice and hyperactive /genuine personality all mixed into one badasss athletic guy ? Yeah he was the best .. whenever I hear Diamond Dave’s voice weather it be with Van Halen or DLR solo I FEEL GOOD.. something about that guys voice and then way he is just makes you feel damn good . Makes you want to live life . I will sure miss him when he’s fine there will ever be another line diamond Dave
If only my parents were so supportive and helping with my rock and roll career...
Daves mother wasn't
It took more than his father...
They were... Because you called them your parents!
What rock and roll career who are you supposed to be
Enjoyed this interview very much...very telling of the love Dr. Roth has for 🎶🙏🏼🎸🥰🙏🏼his famous son .
My father and his cousin, who I always called Uncle Mark, grew up in the small town of New Castle, Ind. Uncle Mark lived in the Whittier, CA area. He had an appointment one day with his ophthalmologist. They began talking and discovered they both hailed from New Castle. I always appreciate that Uncle Mark, perhaps through Dr. Roth, got me an autographed cassette of David's album.
Great story! I think that the DLR personna is a counterpoint to an otherwise very good and safe background. All of the Roths are professionals, and very bright.
I am speecless..What a Great background Dave had..A gold mine of varous qualities.Thats is the reason why, he is a diamond!!!Diamond Dave
"Rothwood" is currently Dave's house. Has been since he bought it from his dad in the late 80s. He recently did some home videos from the yard of that mansion.
What a great father.
No se si este hombre sería buen oculista o no pero lo que es indudable es que a la hora de hacer niños le salió la perfección con Dave, gracias señor Roth por semejante belleza de hombre que fabricaron usted y su mujer😍❤
Dave looks just like him.
Talks just like him too lol.
@@DetVen i thought the same lol
wonderful you having these videos
Its something, I've been a Halen fan since about '85, and never knew what Dr. Nate Roth looked like. For some reason, always pictured him super-old looking and frail, like the Tidy-Bowl man. What a cool story, and wow, who knew David-Lee had such a hot sis! (Lisa Roth).
It's hard to think DLR is older now than his Dad here.
O M G ! Top valuable DLR info !!! Great roots ! Family support ! Genius and brilliance abounding ! No phony here ! DLR was born into success ! And the entire rock world is %100 better for it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, Tue., July 20, 2021
He sounds a little like David Lee when he talks.
Dave sounds like his dad when you hear Dr. Roth speak
DLR is a character for sure!!! And his father seems to be a class act!
Mr. Roth... yore son is driving the neighbors crazzzzzy!
El padre del mas grande idolo mundial de ROCK""..el mas carismatico..el mejor Show man" del mundo...el payaso mas grande de la historia del ROCK"...y uno de los mejores vocalistas del mundoo...DAVID LEE ROTH"!! mi idolo musical por exelenciaaaaa"!!
Rothwood? My lord.
I remember my girlfriend and I being giggly 12-year-olds with mad crushes on Dave back in the VH days and we looked up Nathan Roth's office number and called up and when they put him on the phone we were like, 'Um... are you Dave's dad? Hee hee hee! We love him!!' and then we hung up. Kids . . .
Me Liz --- I can imagine a lot of teenage girls were calling Dr. Roth's office back in the 80s to try and get Dave's number .... he was the biggest rock star in the world back then and most girls thought he was sexy as hell .... of course I'm not sure the tight spandex and long blond hair attracts teen girls these days LOL
Bill Belzek no. Being a cross dressing, low testosterone, soy drinking man does. How sad and pathetic.
thats a great story! ive still got a mad crush on him all these years later!!!
Love It!
cool i knew most of that, but i didnt realize that Nate Roth was an actor also
Yeah!!! I just found that out too!
did u know theyre from new castle indiana?
Nathan was a good, more than decent man and human being. Almost too good to be true at times. He had faults as we all do. He knows he seeks, he discovers or knows someone who knows who. All a combination of serendipity extending from hard work and discipline being true when accomplishing his goals, his vision(s) coming to fruition. Excellent, ophthalmologist, health-wise a classic and fun...there are/were so many positive categories he possesses as a man. I believe it takes more than a UA-cam post to recognize who this man is/was. Those who know him and worked with him observed his incredible talents in business, and they mattered. He'd tend realistically to his children's needs and reasonable requests. The world lost a good one, one of the best when Nate left us.
Hi, when did he pass, and from what? He seemed like a great and intelligent man. Those homes, are they still in the family? What a shame if they sold them, must be worth 50 times the value now.

@@007stopjockin Curious you may be...but improper. I would not disclose my experiences or the time I spent with Nate here. Maybe try googling his death...?
@@ilenesorensen4359 you sound like Yoda. old fart, you are.
@007stopjockin Dave lives in "Rothwood" by himself as I type this.
Awesome it runs in t he family. Grrat
pretty amazing yet it still takes money to make money. Dave what a lucky...talented mfer. Rock On.
Dave's uncle Manny owned
cafe wha ? in NY and dad owned the Garrick theatre on the second floor. Frank Zappa did about a six month
residency at the Garrick with the early mothers. That's where I first saw Zappa
i lived next to cafe wha...when was roths fam there?
Manny...I remember him owning the Comedy Stop
Didn't his Uncle Manny own "Manny's Guitar Shop" also in NYC?
So, Dave likes to say "I've been poor and I've been rich, rich is better". I enjoy his musical contributions with all the touring, high-pitched squeals, spread-eagle jumps and karate kicks up through smashing his nose with a mic stand and think he earned every dime of his fortune. But, Dave what is your definition of "poor"?
They were poor before his dad was a surgeon
. Read the book. Crazy from the heat
Sherry Cox OK. I appreciate the feedback and I'll put the book on my list of things to do. I find David to be an interesting character and definitely not dumb.
Jon Gorrell He's definitely not dumb at all
He's Genius at mental smooth abilities.. He never stops. One time I was at the rainbow and pics all over and asked the waitress was he here. She said.. If he was here.. You'd hear him but was probably down the road at the gentlemen's club
I so wanted to go but my fiancee didn't want to.
I kind of drove him crazy with Dave.. I know all about him.
He's always been my favorite.. He's got the best humor ever
Sherry Cox Great story. Your fiancee was a smart guy. I wouldn't have let the love of my life get within 30 yards of Diamond Dave in those days for self-preservation reasons. lol. I know David babbles a lot and gets so far ahead of the conversation it's hard to keep up. I would imagine his closest friends just let him go off without much thought. Where I always discerned his intelligence was through his lyrics with Van Halen and the DLR albums. Very clever wording while sticking with themes the common listener could grasp. btw, I saw him with the DLR band for a New Year's Eve show at Universal Citywalk, Orlando in '05. He rocked and didn't need Eddie and Alex at all. Have a good day. I appreciate the shared interest in one of rock's most iconic stars.
Jon Gorrell He is my favorite.. My fiancee left this year so maybe... But it all works out. Maybe when he's, like 70.. I will finally get to listen to him.. Not talk just listen.. He rocks. I know all he's ever produced.. That is for the public.. Haha
God bless Dr. Roth!!!! comeon Dave you can be a doctor!!!
He's a paramedic in NYC I believe
What a cool guy
Look at all the people here tonight!
Dave had a good life
The good doctors balls should be dipped in gold. For they brought forth a wild man!!!!
VH may have gotten a jump start on Dr. Roth's wallet but Dr. Roth didn't buy the millions of albums. It takes money or knowing someone to be successful in this business at that time in history. American Idol wasn't around then. UA-cam wasn't around then. Smart phones weren't around then. Van Halen earned it the old fashioned and hard way. RIP EVH. DLR, You've got nothing to be ashamed of except maybe your titanic ego. JK
a lot of family similarity . how cool is that .?
Also sometimes I share this, the Bible says that GOD loves us so much that he sent his son JESUS CHRIST to this earth and HE lived a perfect sinless life.And JESUS went to a cross and gave HIS life for us.And rose again in 3 days and who ever will receive JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR AND ASK HIM TO COME INTO THEIR HEART AND FORGIVE THEIR SINS,HE WILL TAKE YOU TO HEAVEN.
Diamond Dad!
Roth sounds like his dad!
WOW!
Dave coming from good stock!
Dad seemed like a smart and shrewd business man, and also very interesting.
Those houses today probably worth 50 times what they were worth in 1984! I wonder if they are still in the family!?
Love DLR!
007
Dad of Dr. Rockso.
Omg..you can see and hear Dave in him....or vice a versa
Nathan passed away earlier this week.
Lifestyles of the Relatives of the Rich & Famous!
Look at all the pupils here tonight, WAOW!! I"m fixin your eye, I say, WAOW!!!
Dave`s dad was a Renaissance Man.
In the song A Little Ain’t Enough , Roth states “ was born without a silver spoon , but I’m gonna make a stir “….. Well, it doesn’t get more silver than that , Dave ….come on , Dave gimme a break
I miss Nate.
His kids will have inherrited it by now.......
Dave looks like his father
Fun Fact. Nate Roth is David Lee Roth not on drugs.😂
new castles finest
So he was a rich kid?
The other Big Daddy Roth!
because I had James Brown original box set of his early 1950's in my 240 CD collection already by 1994......which now was mostly Mississippi Blues Players right before those were going to get sold and switched to jazz......Louis Amstrong was already there but perhaps without any Ella or Sarah yet at all......but soon to follow in 1996.........I had some classical but not much.....Horowitz......Midori and etc.......farm hand Valedictorian 800 plus Bible versus no radio no TV just tractors for 300 acres gasoline and 12 Puerto Ricans and 12 Cambodians.......I never bought any Les Paul albums as I saw him perform at the Iridium club in NYC maybe in 1991 in the winter.......he knew the standards.......this only helped me find Little Jimmy Scott(elf?) All The Way album which was in my collection which now all was up on deck to get dumped......traded for jazz.......as it was a quality collection however........so since it was stash....the James Brown.......I did not play it for any house parties......because we had just seen Fishbone and Soundgarden and others......The Groove Collective The Brooklynn Funk Essentials Jamiroquai and White Zombie was big.....Ween Sublime Tool STP and BHS as the RHCP was dissipated as NIN was soon there......but it was all Seattle........from the bad glam rock of the mid to late 80's......the wall of glam sound which MTV intelligence(spies with USLE spies) supported and backed 100 percent.....as if they had a direct line to Leno for such(acting machoism to infinity as a macho act)......who played dumb to music however......much like Letterman would do.......over an above TV alluding to merely be "reading" Leno......based on the claim in notion by Leno himself.......that he was merely charting his own boat.....as TV Guide headline studying only........but my point is......only Bob Marley was to be played at the house party(and they could not beat me in a fight......so this came down to height and chicks and their desires.....over scholastics.....since I drank the most beer daily anyway and worked 20 hours a day).......only Bob Marley over and above being precarious with music at these events......because Prince was out with Michael Jackson 1 day after 1 year after "Thriller".........done......I do Prince's voice and MJ's voice as well.......and Fishbone and White Zombie and Ween and Tool and etc.......my point is that Seattle music was now going on 2 years ago........and that new Prince was coy and Maceo Parker was to be only personal stash with other car driving music.........because the new college brand of musician was now claiming to be better than Medeski Martin and Wood and etc......and those jazz writing type of players.......had ruled since the 1800's decade by decade.......and now may have not been as famous only since the 1970's KISS millionaire dreamer pathology came into view......as music writing rulers since the 1800's and etc.......BUT the music still came from them.......and them alone.......so instead of forwarding the James Brown or any of the rest of my collection........since when loaned out the new CD's came back scratched and sh.t........as if I couldn't knock them out difinatively.......in a mere 90 days at the gym back yet still........but........once again it was not Art Pepper.......or Blu Mitchell......or Jackie Mclean with Junko Onishi 1996.......so David can wear my golden or silver left-hand thumb ring(I had 4 diamond ear rings.....2 in each ear)......and he can call it his Jackie Mclean ring OK.......and I wear one other ring on my left hand.......on the ring finger I wear it up one.......silver or gold whatever........and he can call that his Sir Isaac Newton pirate ring to help him rap on UA-cam........and his left-hand wrist watch should be the next i5 only of course......outside of it being a distraction.......unless Robin Williams' children would be so gracious to forward David Robin's "best" wrist watch.......coolest and best looking.......less it also perhaos being his most expensive one.......yes as a gift.......for good luck as well.........but what I am saying is......as I do Cameo's voice and Flashlight all of the voices......and etc.....and all of the voices of the Commodores and Smokey Robison's Quiet Storm and Love Letters.......as my left index finger is none other than Ackmetzyanovs himself.......is that in the car.......this is why I only played Parliament Funkadelic and Earth Wind and Fire in 1995........ because I did not approve anything but Bob Marley at the house parties but had no posistion to even speak this much at all.......so I remained on steak and 9 to 12 beers 6 days a week......game over.......and it was an Oldsmobile.......like a 77'......4 door......silver.......heavy box car.......to sloop to one side in the driver seat......to lean into the door.....pants pulled up and comfortable to drive.......but slooped in the driver seat......ever since the convenience of the automatic transmission shift kit no shift kit.......
@ dan hunter... wtf kind of shit have you been smoking ??? That has to be the most batshit crazy as hell mess as I've ever seen !!!
You can't see this writing is the mind of a genius
Hmmmm, this makes me wonder if David Lee Roth isn't short for David Lee Rothschild
Rothstein
Lets see Bill Belzek its 2015 and a guy in spandex with blond hair and is rich and hits on your girlfriend if you like girls who's she going home with. Not you
I wonder if he is Of the Rothchild family?
OK IVE J7UST MOVED INTO A 26 And a whole half tingmy on the beach
Whaaat? Are you ok?? Did you bump your head? Did you get possessed by the devil??
coolest jew
Sammy Hagar sucks.
He was great with Montrose but that's it.
Ya, they may have earned their success but with his father's money, they only put in half the effort to get there. Just like learning how to ride a bike... somebody pushed you without you having to pedal. Ah?
you sound really bitter man. his dad was actually an amazing man. you sound jealous
mike smith C'mon man, have you ever BEEN to one of their shows???!!! Regardless of HOW they got started, the PROOF IS IN `th POODN!!!
***** Great questions!
Yeah Dave's father taught Eddie how to play guitar
Dave's Father was not THAT much of a force in fact, I think he overstated just a little of his historical importance with the band. Read up on their history before you start slinging it.... Also NOTHING MATTERS unless you've got the TALENT and the SONGS, and I think that says enough as far as that band.
Where’s the wife? In a mental asylum?
now that is funny. i only listened to one DLR interview and got a prescription for valium. imagine living in the same house.
Funded from the start!! Do you know other bands had to still go to work while playing gig. Amps, guitars, drum (symbals), transportation, equipment, and everything else is very expensive. Oh, no problem, my dad has money. Not hating, but knowing that someone got where they with help of somebody takes away a lot of the glamour of fanship.
Wa wa wa wa have a little cry
***** yes simon!!
You are so mistaken. Dave's Dad was an amazing mentor to me while I was becoming the first Native Reserve woman to graduate from law school and the consultant for the National Juvenile Justice Project and Corporate Native Nations Diversity Financial growth programs that would facilitate Native Nations to succeed financially without compromising their cultural belief in the earth, the creator, and all of nature...............He told Dave, if you want to go to college, you can stay home and have a room, if you want to build a business, whether music, or business........you can stay home, and have a room. Dave did the rest on his own, with the other band members. Yes, they had parents who loved them, and supported them, but they made it on their own. But just as my parents, Dr. Roth encouraged his children to build their own dreams on their own.
Elizabeth Wiley Nice response! Its symptomatic of something that I see all over the place now, people tearing down the achievements of others based on financial success, either for that financially successful person and what they achieved, or in here where its mostly ripping the successful man's son, David Lee Roth, who I admit for sure has been an idiot for all the world to see at times, but also has achieved a lot himself, even if in 2015 he's being panned for not being able to sing worth a damn live anymore, he did make one heck of an achievement with the original Van Halen, come on how many people can match that? 1 in 10,000? 1 in a million? Plus, throw in some of the usual Jew hater comments, since of course "those Jews" all conspire against the rest of us 24/7, yeah that's all they do, sure.
I see this country as not being divided mostly into haves and have nots based much on race like it was for many years, but moving into a new era (and I admit we're not there quite yet, still a lot of racial tension, as well as those who profit from racial divides and who will stoke that fire for as long as they can) A new era where its going to be just about who gets out there and hustles their ass off and gets SOMETHING done, whether its fronting a mega rock band, being a surgeon, or maybe starting say a small roofing company where for the first 5 years you're working your ass off, putting in those 80, 90, 100+ HOURS A WEEK that so many small start up biz owners must put in or fail, even after 10 years maybe they're still doing a lot of hard physical labor, along with their ever growing crew and then finally after 20 years, they don't have to carry bundles of shingles up a ladder anymore and after 30 years they're RICH, just like Dr Roth was in this video and then these clowns can rip that guy/girl too, while instead of working their ass off on something good, they sit on their ass and whine about how someone who's dad had some money has it so easy. Sure, sit on your ass and let the rest of us support your ass as well as those kids you can't support either, let alone support yourself, crying like a little kid about everyone else!
I work and do business with people every day who are out there trying to make something happen, even in what's been a damn tough economy for nearly 10 years now and then I see the crybabies and its not divided by color or religion, its divided by who wants to make something of themselves (which isn't simply measured money wise either, simply being self sufficient and happy is a great life for most people and being rich money wise has NO connection to being happy.) Just quit holding the rest of us back who are out here trying to make a decent life for ourselves and who consider (in my case being male) fathering a kid to mean you have a rock solid obligation to support that kid yourself, not rely on everyone else for life. I'm nervous though, we have so many crying clowns out there now that its becoming too much of a burden on those of us who consider at least supporting yourself to be a key to inner happiness!
Joseph Messeri Good points, coming from GOOD FAMILY is whole different story from the concept (or insane concept) that if we let the GOOD GOVERNMENT fix everything for everyone, which of course never happens they just suck up everyone's money and freedom and waste it, give it to their friends if they're corrupt like many are, but that goes back to this sudden attempt by SOME to fool themselves into believing the endless failures of socialism weren't actual history. I guess the more that mess fades with time it doesn't seem quite as bad as it was for so many. The amazing differences between East and West Germany when the wall came down is a perfect example, you had on one side a very successful nation that had rebounded from being flattened in WWII, plus the psychological mess of having had the Nazis running things, it must've been a mess beyond belief. (NAZI=National SOCIALIST German Workers Party by the way) Yet, back when we were closer to a real capitilist country and not the oligarchy/massive government country we are now, it was our military that helped rebuild West Germany, along with the German people of course who have always been known for a strong work ethic and then on the other side you had East Germany where socialism and communism worked their wonderful magic so well they had build a wall, not to keep anyone out, to keep them IN! It was like a totalitarian time warp when that wall came down and yes, I traveled there both before AND after but was only able to see East Germany after it came down of course and by now it probably all looks much the same, but back then it was an amazing contrast.
Don't forget Lenny Kravitz! Father was Jewish, mother was African American and Christian, I think her family was from either the Bahamas or Jamaica but believe she was either born here or moved here as a very young girl and I know they did eventually divorce, but Lenny grew up in a strong and together family for most of his childhood and high school and I'm pretty sure had some connection with Slash too, high school friends or something like that.
DLR was a trust fund kid.
No he wasn't, and anyway Nathan Roths money was not a factor in their success, he was rich in the mid 70's but not that RICH.
Dave bought Rothwood years ago and turned it into Pasadena's largest gay bath house.
He's lives there happily ever after with his male chef.
