Elders, tell me about Van Halen

Since he passed away, I have watched some Van Halen vids on Youtube. The music, meh. But, what struck me is that the lead singer seems like a queen. Was he rumored to be gay back in the day? Did he and Eddie have a thing? Please tell me what people thought back then!

David Lee Roth always seemed gay to me. My brother was backstage as a music writer years ago when Roth was with the band. Valerie Berinelli made a comment like "oh please. Everyone knows Dave is gay at this point". They were hugely popular during the hair band era. I never liked their music but didn't mind the Sammy Hagar songs.

there were never any rumors about him being gay that i knew about. all the heavy metal guys loved them, and they were very anti gay

I LOVED David Lee Roth when I was a kid!

All of my friends back then told me he was an asshole.

I didn't believe them until he took over for Howard Stern, and I finally saw (and heard) the light.

But I have to admit, I like Van Halen more with him than Sammy Hagar. Even though I think Hagar has the better voice.

About '82 or '83 I saw a video of Van Halen from some big music or metal fest. DLR was wearing ass-less leather pants. Well, enough said. And, his hyper heterosexuality just screamed CLOSET. Well, I do enjoy their 1st three albums. And, here's another thing; EVH was pretty damn good, but the song "Eruption" from their first LP secured Eddie's legacy. He certainly didn't do that shredding on every one of their songs. Besides, I liked Judas Priest much better. Rob Halford was much more coy, and KK Downing and Glenn Tipton always shredded.

DLR had gay vibes, never married or had a high profile (or low for that matter) relationship.
