Professor Roth. History 5150, Japan Edition, Riki brought the people together in their time of darkness and tickled the dopamine in their brains by winning , henceforth, motivating the Japanese people to cheer up and regoice. And Riki was from Korea, they were baffled by bullshit, but had a lot of fun watching the show. King Papa San Dr.Dave, you are telling history for all the right reasons. Zippidy-Bop.
It is really interesting the show. Because I am Japanese, but He talking from American side about Japan. I think He learning so much about Japan!! great job.
Very Telling about the life and time's of Rikidozan.His Matches with Lou Thesz we're a real international treat in Dozan's JWA promotion.Had the honor to spend time with Karl Gotch.Another Legend in Pro wrestling culture in japan.known as Kamisama.David thank you for this presentation. Knock out!
oh YEAH!!!!!!!! My sons had a history teacher that had a sign over his door..now entering the PAST...as you left the classroom the sign said now entering the PRESENT. This guy dressed up like a Revolutionary War guy...Daniel Boone..all of it..They aced this class with A's!! DAVE WOULD BE AN INCREDIBLE HISTORY TEACHER!!
I try to learn something new every day, and I always learn something new from Dave, that's for sure! He's quite the poet too describing Tokyo's blackness after the war. Amazing footage from way back. That was zen, this is tao. lol
I used to laugh at my sweet little grandmother when she got so emotional believing this was real . Who would have ever thought I'd be laughing with David Lee. HILARIOUS
KUMPLEEEETLEEE AWESOME! Rap on brother...rap on. DLR proves once again that it takes way more than rock music to make a true Rock Star. Vision baby, vision.
Dude, your porch area is so nice. Interesting episode, we do want to see some of those hidden gems from the early days, theres little to none in existence on the internet.
I hope this show is still going and current. I love when rockstars have their own shows. But every time I find a show a rockstar does I find out it's been canceled... If you read the comments dave I love these videos.
Thanks Dave , I am just getting to see these awwesome videos, wish you were here .Things are great in osaka, wish you could see my set up. got a studio set up.
The new cover songs are great to hear Dave doing - Baker Street, Love Train, Living In America, the new Where Is David Lee Roth song, the new One Piece Thermo Molded Country Plastic Chair; all are great in my iPod! It's cool as shit to get "new" stuff this way. Living life is great. Dave keeps the fun spirit going and listening...simply LISTENING to him brightens my days and nights. Dave, you are insightful to the most literal definition. Stay Cool ! Stay Frosty ! I'd love to party with u!
Oh Yeah, I'd really love to hear the full version of that Steely Dan tune, that sounded great. And Shes Lookin Good was always one of my favorites from the Diamond Dave album. Great Stuff here. I predict Dave will do some sort of martial arts show soon. Live or on a cable tv channel. Just a hunch I have. Heh, heh, heh. Im going to watch this again another time. I like, I like, I like, I like the way Dave talks. And talks, and talks. Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha. Hope VH tour soon too.
Common Roth! Release some classic concert footage from 78 or 79! That material would be gold. Ed's Tone is perfect in that time period as well as your voice. It's as godly as ever during that period.
The language thing is interesting. We do the same thing with Japanese words here in the states. Pretty much all nations have adopted words from each other like that.
Love these shows. Life from the DLR perspective is so uplifting :-) Plus from the occasional new song included in them DLR doesn't need Van Halen neither - they need him!
david lee roth . thank you for this episode . rikidozan, made his debut , vs bobby burns. a draw.. from there, the great lou thesz, put him over , which inturn made him a legend to the people of japan
The match between the Sharp Brothers Vs Rikidozan and judo legend Kimura was years before his matches with Thesz and has always been the considered the birth of major Japanese wrestling.
Well, I'm still hot for teacher-thanks David for teaching this interesting information. You lead an interesting life and by the time I get to Phoenix I would like you at the end of the room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE BOTTOM LINE: Whether or not DLR sings well or not, dresses cool or not, act's like a douche or not, etc., when we ALL get to be his age he will STILL have something that NONE of us will EVER have, he was the originally lead singer of Van Halen and he's rocked more people than any of us ever have or ever will, and when he first was in Van Halen he KICKED MUTHA FUCKIN ASS!!!!
Rikidozan actually died from Peritonitis which was a result of the stabbing; He did not die from the stabbing itself. It's said that he have threw his attacker out of the nightclub and continued to party after the stabbing. He died one week after the incident.

I can honestly say that watching David Lee Roth talk about 1950s Japanese pro wrestling is one of the most surreal things I've ever seen.
What a wealth of knowledge and memories. They should teach DLR in the school systems.

This man NEVER fails to impress me!! David Lee..an absolute GEM!!
How am I watching David Lee Roth talk about Rikidozan... the internet is an incredible place.
Love the Steely Dan opening! One of the best bands ever!!
We need more of David
Dave entertains like nobody else ever has
It is really interesting the show. Because I am Japanese, but He talking from American side about Japan. I think He learning so much about Japan!! great job.
My Old School at the beginning. So cool that Dave's Vegas band played anything and everything like that.
Fascinating...please do more of these
David lee roth is the man
David Lee Roth is the greatest frontman of all time!
Very Telling about the life and time's of Rikidozan.His Matches with Lou Thesz we're a real international treat in Dozan's JWA promotion.Had the honor to spend time with Karl Gotch.Another Legend in Pro wrestling culture in japan.known as Kamisama.David thank you for this presentation. Knock out!
I love the way David Lee Roth tells a story!
I find this show to be humorous, entertaining, and educational...DLR would make a great history teacher. I do miss the old opening music, though.
Cool and unique as usual..
diamond dave, the one and only, you cant help but love that guy.
This has just become one of my favorite RUclips shows!
Warming up to Steely Dan's ,"My Old School". Cool Dave. Was that a live band? Thanks.
can you imagine if your history teacher was david lee roth?
oh YEAH!!!!!!!! My sons had a history teacher that had a sign over his door..now entering the PAST...as you left the classroom the sign said now entering the PRESENT. This guy dressed up like a Revolutionary War guy...Daniel Boone..all of it..They aced this class with A's!! DAVE WOULD BE AN INCREDIBLE HISTORY TEACHER!!
My 5 yr old son and I love watching these. Thank you!
LOVE THE ROTH SHOW, KEEP ROCKIN DAVE!
I actually dig Roth as a host after seeing this. He can tell a story.
Dave, bring your sister on to get some of us on a diet. I'm getting much too fat! Also, a tour of the Mojo Dojo is in order soon!
I try to learn something new every day, and I always learn something new from Dave, that's for sure! He's quite the poet too describing Tokyo's blackness after the war. Amazing footage from way back. That was zen, this is tao. lol
Story telling at its best
I would never listen to anyone else tell this story. Why is Dave sooo entertaining?
So awesome to see David Lee Roth get soaked up in the Japanese wrestling culture, aka Puroresu.
He is our modern day Mark Twain
DLR is probably the coolest muthafucka on planet Earth.
Interesting & Entertaining - Dave is more intelligent than he ever gets credit for. I love a smart mind - it's SEXY
Dave, RELEASE MY OLD SCHOOL!!!!
This kicks ass. You Kick Ass, Steely Dan kick ass.
Just release it, Please...
David. Thanks much.
I used to laugh at my sweet little grandmother when she got so emotional believing this was real . Who would have ever thought I'd be laughing with David Lee. HILARIOUS
This was an awesome video. I know a little about Riki, but Roth's stories went easily beyond my knowledge.
Your enthusiasm on the birth of Puroresu is great to hear and see!
Rikidozan beat the shit out of Kimura....so glad you love his story too Dave. You just might be one of us!!!!!!
KUMPLEEEETLEEE AWESOME!
Rap on brother...rap on.
DLR proves once again that it takes way more than rock music to make a true Rock Star.
Vision baby, vision.
Dude, your porch area is so nice. Interesting episode, we do want to see some of those hidden gems from the early days, theres little to none in existence on the internet.
RIGHT ON!! VH at that period esp. 1979 was the greatest hard rock band ever!!
Always something to learn from listening to Dave. :)
I hope this show is still going and current. I love when rockstars have their own shows. But every time I find a show a rockstar does I find out it's been canceled... If you read the comments dave I love these videos.
I love the people who hate this, but some how made it to video #9. I can assure you DLR is still and always will be cool.
Making a short story long.
You're funny Dave.
Thanks Dave , I am just getting to see these awwesome videos, wish you were here .Things are great in osaka, wish you could see my set up. got a studio set up.
'My Old School' -- those lyrics fit Dave well.
My old school from steely dan
The new cover songs are great to hear Dave doing - Baker Street, Love Train, Living In America, the new Where Is David Lee Roth song, the new One Piece Thermo Molded Country Plastic Chair; all are great in my iPod! It's cool as shit to get "new" stuff this way. Living life is great. Dave keeps the fun spirit going and listening...simply LISTENING to him brightens my days and nights. Dave, you are insightful to the most literal definition. Stay Cool ! Stay Frosty ! I'd love to party with u!
Oh Yeah, I'd really love to hear the full version of that Steely Dan tune, that sounded great. And Shes Lookin Good was always one of my favorites from the Diamond Dave album. Great Stuff here.

Common Roth! Release some classic concert footage from 78 or 79! That material would be gold. Ed's Tone is perfect in that time period as well as your voice. It's as godly as ever during that period.
love your stories dave, love your music more!
I love your stories. Thank you Dave!
David: chats like this would be great sitting a round a campfire, sipping on coffee spiked with JD.....
I just love this this please keep it comin .........
18:57 "Call yourself Stone Cold, The Rock, instead of Kenny."
I laughed
A Fan of his show.
Yes he was there for the Wha VH gig last year
The language thing is interesting. We do the same thing with Japanese words here in the states. Pretty much all nations have adopted words from each other like that.
Love these shows. Life from the DLR perspective is so uplifting :-) Plus from the occasional new song included in them DLR doesn't need Van Halen neither - they need him!
This is new to me I never know dave was a wrestling fan.
Can we have David doing history of 90s All Japan?
Dave great stuff brother!! glad to see you keep it coming!!
First time viewer of TheRothShow and this was an enjoyable watch, subscribed!
david lee roth . thank you for this episode . rikidozan, made his debut , vs bobby burns. a draw.. from there, the great lou thesz, put him over , which inturn made him a legend to the people of japan
The match between the Sharp Brothers Vs Rikidozan and judo legend Kimura was years before his matches with Thesz and has always been the considered the birth of major Japanese wrestling.
Well, I'm still hot for teacher-thanks David for teaching this interesting information. You lead an interesting life and by the time I get to Phoenix I would like you at the end of the room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome!!!
i think he has a residence in tokyo, as well of course in pasadena. love him
David I love you
great tune dave'
YESSS!!!!!
very cool dave.
I have convinced myself that any digital quality "live" video of classic VH won't be released until we are all dead and gone...smh
THE BOTTOM LINE: Whether or not DLR sings well or not, dresses cool or not, act's like a douche or not, etc., when we ALL get to be his age he will STILL have something that NONE of us will EVER have, he was the originally lead singer of Van Halen and he's rocked more people than any of us ever have or ever will, and when he first was in Van Halen he KICKED MUTHA FUCKIN ASS!!!!
Damn lots of gold platters, thar Dave
DAVE POST AN OLD VIDEO OF YOU BACK STAGE IN 1978? WHEN A GROUPIE STOLD ALL YOUR CLOTHING LOL I LOVE THAT PART OF THE TOUR LOL
Yes he does
Dave mentions his Uncle Manny. I was wondering if he was still with us. Manny is the original owner of The Cafe Wha?.
By the time I got to Phoenix....
Rikidozan actually died from Peritonitis which was a result of the stabbing; He did not die from the stabbing itself. It's said that he have threw his attacker out of the nightclub and continued to party after the stabbing. He died one week after the incident.
Where is Dave lately ????? I am in japan . from Hawqaii.
DLR band sounding tight.
I hope you aren't reading these comments, Dave. Keep doing it your way.
Dave looks so young at the end of this episode.
So funny Dave
EVH is GOD
King Roth
Fuckin' right man! *high five*
Dave, give us the EMT story
Shit Dave! You sound dynamite singing the Steely Dan tune man. Really great.
Eddie delayed it, he's gotta heal from his surgery. Dave's not delaying shit, so don't blame Dave
correct me if I got this wrong, but Dave appears to have the bruce lee shirt on
he comes from intelligence. he's smart. guy
Jeff, ever heard of a contraction?
Thought not.
Dave fuckin rules
...would dave put down the bong? Hmmm...
Haystacks Calhoun
I couldn't make out what he said after that.
Kids would walk out indifferent. Parents would be going to school. Anarchy. :)
Is there a Eddie show and Wolfgang show and Alex show. If there is my life is complete. Did you know DLR's net worth is around 60,000,000
