David Lee Roth: Story is Just Plain Nuts

David Lee Roth wants you to know he can eat as many nuts as he wants!

Diamond Dave tells TMZ: "I was in Canada only from July first through the fourth for a performance at the Quebec City Summer Festival. I had no encounters or incidents with the police. The only thing I'm allergic to is criticism. -- Love, Dave"

A story that circulated earlier this week -- fueled by actual interviews with two Canadian police officers -- claimed cops had to save Dave's life after he went into anaphylactic shock from eating nuts.

Dave's rep says he is not allergic to nuts. Good fashion sense? Well, that's another story.

16. The actual story is ...Dave spent quite a bit of time getting tea-bagged, He then went into homophalactic shock.

17. Dave is ok though I heard is voice isn't there anymore.
I just wish that Van Halen had enough sense to bring
back Michael Anthony into the picture.
By the way...does ANYONE really have a MINT copy
of their U.S. Festival show and NOT some lame bootleg?
If so....answer and let me know. I'll buy it. Thanks!

20. TMZ, quit trying to be a news agency. You're always getting stuff wrong. A TRUE JOURNALIST investigates before he starts reporting. You're just a gossip rag.

22. Canada is 3 times the size of the USA. Quebec City is well over 500 miles East of where the Ontario Provincial Police pulled Dave over. Did he just casually meander over to another Province?

Anyway, if he's not allergic to nuts, then he pulled a fake illness to get out of a speeding ticket. Not a manly man type of behavior. And I doubt that the OPP made this story up.

24. Didn't TMZ report this story? Don't you check your facts before printing a story? Along with the constant spelling and grammar errors, this site is exempt from being professional.

26. Gotta love DLR. He was smokin' hot back in the day. Reminded me of a wild stallion. Would love to see the new tour but will not--not until Michael Anthony rejoins the group. Keep on smilin' Dave!

27. "Dean Hajas, a local songwriter and recording engineer, said he's still certain the man who stayed at his house for three weeks is the real David Lee Roth." (The Hamilton Spectator, July 11/08)

You need to post this nuts comments. He jumped on the band wagon when the story broke here in Ontario. And the picture of the imposter is really a horrible one, especially the crooked teeth complete with the gap.

28. All I can say is what an enourmous DOUCHE. I am the biggest Van Halen fan ever, but guys, give it up. Your concert SUCKED; NO Mike Anthony and NO Sammy Hagar make NO Van Halen!! Eddie Couldn't play for CRAP, the sound was CRAP, No Mike Anthony backing vocals, and Dave's vocals S-U-C-K-E-D!!!! Yes, a lot of people saw them and they made a lot of money, but damn guys, PLEASE no new material! I can't handle hearng a 55 year old has-been 'sing' about screwing chicks. Dave and his douchy grin. I think I'm gonna puke.

29. Dave isn't allergic to nuts. He's had them rolling across his chin for 40 years.
