{Detailed bio}
The unforgettably charismatic and insanely energetic frontman of Van Halen, David Lee Roth is someone who is known by many not for having a spectacular voice or incredible singing abilities, but for the sheer insanity of his musical presence, and the unmatched levels of hyper manicness that he brings to many of his performances. While some regard him as a rather subpar singer from a technical standpoint, they might be surprised to discover that he has developed a shockingly extensive vocal range over the years, with both his high range and low range increasingly significantly from the '90s onward. He is perhaps one of the most unexpected cases of a vocalist with a large range, as he lacks the tonal expressiveness and power that most such singers have in their high ranges. Nonetheless, he's made for quite an interesting choice of a notewatching project, especially considering how much he's shown off his range on his last few albums!

Roth first began his career with Van Halen (at the time called Mammoth) in 1974, though the story goes that he had previously auditioned for the band and been rejected at the time. Allegedly the story goes that guitarist Eddie Van Halen let him into the band because they had been renting a sound system from him, but realized that it would be cheaper to just let him join the band and use the sound system for free.   And so the classic era of Van Halen was born, with Alex Van Halen on drums and Michael Anthony on bass and backing vocals. For the first few years of their career, Van Halen played bars and clubs around the Pasadena, California area, initially playing sets exclusively comprised of covers of other popular '70s rock artists. As they became more established around the music scene, they began to write originals together, some of which would become world-famous tunes on their eventual albums later on. In 1976, the band was discovered by Gene Simmons of Kiss, who produced their first demo, though this was ultimately rejected by Kiss' management, who did not expect them to be successful. A year later, however, Van Halen managed to land a record deal, which led to the recording of their first album - a now-famous 1978 self-titled.

Over the course of the next seven years, Van Halen skyrocketed to fame - quickly gaining the reputation of "the ultimate party band", and frequently touring and recording new music. Following their debut, they released five more albums with their original lineup - 1979's Van Halen II, 1980's Women and Children First, 1981's Fair Warning, 1982's Diver Down, and finally the greatly acclaimed 1984 (released that same year). For much of Van Halen's early career, Roth's vocal range was indeed more limited than the typical rock singer's, as he lacked any sort of developed fifth octave, and instead resorted to doing a rather unique sort of whistle scream technique, which he could carry up to the top of the fifth octave and has utilized heavily across his career. For most melody singing, he typically topped out around B4 (apart from a few songs on the Gene Simmons demo that get up to C5), and would instead let bassist Michael Anthony sing any sections or harmonies that went higher then that. While Roth did not use his low range much during this time, he clearly had a bit more to show on that end as well - as can be heard by the G2s and C2 at the beginning of "The Full Bug", as well as a 1979 performance of "Fools" that features Roth trailing down to D2 while giving the song's introductory speech. Overall though, Roth's voice sounded much weaker during this time than it did later in his career, and it was quite audible that he lacked any type of formal vocal training. This period of Roth's career came to its conclusion in 1985, after years of band tensions culminated in his departure from Van Halen, at which point he began to pursue a solo career and was replaced by Sammy Hagar of Montrose.

Roth made his first solo release with an 1985 EP called Crazy from the Heat, followed by a 1986 album Eat 'em and Smile. The latter featured an all-star band lineup, including Steve Vai on guitar and Billy Sheehan on bass, and was well-received for hits like "Yankee Rose", "Shyboy", and "Goin' Crazy". In hopes of gaining more market appeal in Mexico, Roth also re-recorded this entire album in Spanish under the title Sonrisa Salvaje, which made for an...interesting listen, to say the least.   He then released his second solo album, Skyscraper, in 1988, which featured the hit "Just Like Paradise". Both of these first two albums showed some noticeable vocal improvement from Roth, with his voice sounding a fair bit stronger up to C5 or so, as well as featuring a bit more use of his second octave on certain songs. It wasn't until his 1991 album A Little Ain't Though, however, that his range truly began to expand like crazy - as this album featured lots of solid belted notes up into the lower fifth octave and sometimes higher. This album also began to show greater use of his low range, with songs like "Sensible Shoes" and "Baby's on Fire" signaling a developing growth of strength and darkness in his mid to lower second octave. Roth followed this album up with Your Filthy Little Mouth in 1994, which only continued these range antics - with songs like "Big Train", "Experience", and the Urban NYC Mix of "You're Breathin' It" now demonstrating some developing first octave range from him, in addition to more fifth octave flexing on numerous songs. In most of Roth's live performances around this time, he also began to use this newfound range to throw in many additional high and low notes to songs, which can heard on the live album In the Heat of the Night, recorded in 1994 at the House of Blues promoting Your Filthy Little Mouth.

In 1996, Roth began working with Van Halen again for the first time in over a decade, as they had recently parted ways with Sammy Hagar and were now without a singer. This resulted in the release of two new songs on the band's 1996 compilation Best of - Volume 1, entitled "Me Wise Magic" and "Can't Get This Stuff No More", both of which featured Roth showing off more of his new range pretty impressively, and in my opinion hinted at a strong musical potential that the lineup had together at this time. Unfortunately, tensions between Roth and Eddie Van Halen resulted in this reunion being short-lived, and Roth left the band once again later that year and was replaced by Gary Cherone of Extreme. In the meantime, Roth resumed his solo career, and released his fifth album DLR Band in 1998. This album was perhaps his most insane to date in terms of range antics, with literally over half the songs spanning three octaves or more. The song "Slam Dunk!" spanned almost four octaves, with a spoken passage that gets down to G♯1 and choruses that top at solid F♯5s, and "Relentless" featured some of Roth's best E5s on every chorus, as well as some strong E2s later on. Roth released his most recent solo album, entitled Diamond Dave, in 2003, which was mostly a covers album of old swing/jazz songs, as well as a few late '60s/early '70s rock songs. Though this album featured much of the same range insanity as its predecessors on several songs, it also did a nice job of showcasing how well-suited Roth's voice can be for old timey bluesy/jazzy music - particularly on songs like "She's Looking Good", "Bad Habits", and "Made Up My Mind".

Roth continued touring as a solo artist after the release of Diamond Dave, but in 2007 rejoined Van Halen for a second time and began touring with them once more. This reunion came to be much more lasting than their previous one, eventually culminating with his first full length album with Van Halen in over 25 years - entitled A Different Kind of Truth and released in 2011. This album featured a much more modern, heavy sound than previous Van Halen albums had, and once more demonstrated a pretty tremendous range span from Roth - with the song "The Trouble with Never" spanning G♯1-D♯5 alone, among others. The band toured for the next four years promoting the album before concluding their tour in late 2015 and going on hiatus. This hiatus concluded in 2020, when the death of Eddie Van Halen marked the end of the band. In the meantime, Roth has resumed touring as a solo artist, and has apparently had an entire album's worth of new material recorded for some time now, but has refused to release it yet for unknown reasons. In a 2019 interview with his current solo guitarist John 5, however, John played a short sample of one of the new songs off this album, entitled "Nothing Could've Stopped Us", which sounds like it could have some promising potential. It remains to be determined if and when Roth will ever this next album, but I would certainly welcome it whenever he chooses to!

{Vocal range video}

Here's the vocal range video that I made for Roth back in 2013. Overall I'd say it still holds up pretty well, but I wish I had started the low notes section higher than E2 and showcased more of his baritone range. I also know a lot more really good notes by him above G♯5 now, so I would make a point to include more of those if I were to remake it.

So are all his infamous whistles really 5th octave? Songs like "You Really Got Me" definitely have things higher than G♯4 in the studio version. Or were those omitted since it's also true there isn't a single sustained note out of all those squeaks afaik

[Hennessy Macklemore III]

They're all either fifth octave with overtones or inhale screams. The "Little Texas" E♭6, for instance, is legit as that pitch, but people said I shouldn't count it cause it's inhaled.


Then there were a couple others that sound sixth octave and I wasn't quite sure what to make of them in terms of being inhaled or not, so if anyone would like to try to dissect them further go ahead:




As for the "You Really Got Me" squeals, I didn't count them because 1) they're all super brief and uncontrolled, 2) they're probably inhaled, and 3) I'm not sure if they're DLR or Michael Anthony. I could recheck it to see if there are any legit notes above G♯4, but yeah going by memory I seem to recall most of it just being yelps that aren't really worth counting.

[blazejecar2]

Yea, they definitely sound inhaled. Should maybe be added to questionable notes at least. But no, I wasn't asking for some specific notes to be added, I just find it kind of hilarious that out of all those random squeaks he did in his career, none of them were actually legit high 6th/7th octave like people believe lol

[Hennessy Macklemore III]

Yeah I can see about adding them in the spoiler. I'm generally kinda lazy about the questionable notes sections in my threads lol, I usually only list notes that I'm genuinely unsure about being worth adding or not there.

In other news...
loudwire.com/david-lee-roth-retirement/
Damn, this kinda comes as a surprise. I was hoping to catch him on the End of the Road tour with Kiss back when he was still slated as the opening act for that, but then he ended up getting kicked off that tour earlier this year. I would've figured that if he was gonna retire, he would at least do his own headlining tour as a farewell, but nope - apparently all we're getting is a Las Vegas residency and then that's it. I'm not expecting to make it out to Las Vegas by the end of the year/beginning of next, so I guess I'll have to settle for only having seen him with Van Halen in 2015.

The other thing that I'm wondering about in light of this news is the fact that he's allegedly had an entire new solo album done for years now (which would be his first since 2003), but he's just been sitting on it for ages for unknown reasons. John 5 (who played guitar on it) even talked about it in an interview and said that he had no idea what Dave was waiting for at this point. He finally released his first couple of new singles ("Somewhere Over the Rainbow Bar and Grill" and "Giddy Up") at the end of last year after EVH died, so I was also hopeful that that might lead to the announcement of a new album release, but so far there's been nothing in the ways of that either. So now I'm wondering if that album is just gonna continue to stay shelved indefinitely, or if he's gonna do a post-retirement album release and try to surprise everybody that way... :scratch:

[blazejecar2]

I've never seen him live :'(

But yea, it's probably just retirement from touring from what I understand, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect he'll still release studio stuff in the upcoming years.

[Hennessy Macklemore III]

Maybe, though when I hear “retirement”, I think “stepping away from doing music altogether”. But I do really wonder what’s up with him and that new album, and what that magic moment he’s waiting for to release it is. It sounds like it’s a mystery even to his own band, because I saw an article recently about how John 5 is begging him to release it finally.

It’s also kinda sad to hear this news just because it feels like we’re losing more of the pieces of what was once Van Halen. Obviously Eddie died last year, Alex doesn’t appear to be doing anything outside of the band, and now Dave is retiring...so all that really leaves us with is Wolfgang Van Halen doing his solo career, and Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony in The Circle (and Chickenfoot, if they ever come back). And while those three are still great at what they do, it leaves me wondering - after Dave retires, will we ever hear any of the original members of Van Halen perform music from that era of the band again?

[Hennessy Macklemore III]

Oh snap, DLR has released three new songs since October and I hadn't even noticed till now!


This was one that John 5 played a sample of on Eddie Trunk's show several years ago, when he was talking about how Dave has had a new solo album recorded and finished for numerous years now, and for some reason just keeps sitting on it and not releasing anything. Though the song feels very topical as a look back on Van Halen's peak days now with Eddie being dead and the band broken up, apparently this was actually written and recorded before Eddie's death. However, I'd certainly agree that now seems like a good time to finally release it, if nothing else!

Anyway, D3s and C3s on the verses of this one as well as short melody dips to A2s and F2s, then G4s on the choruses.


Nice gentle ballad here, with B♭2s, A♭4s and B♭4s. Pretty restrained performance for Dave, considering how rangewanky he's been on studio songs since the early '90s.


Another much chiller song here, seems like that may be the general vibe for the album if it ever gets released as a whole. B♭4s on the verses of this one, C3s on the choruses, harmony D♭5 at 1:02, and a pretty nice B4 with vibrato at 1:44.

Overall I like the versatility he's showing by doing some softer, less manic songs like this, but I hope the album(?) has some more rocker tracks as well, cause I can imagine it getting a little dull if it's like this the entire way through.
