Somebody Get Me an EMT

While Van Halen are busy with their reunion tour, original frontman David Lee Roth says he's attempting to launch a new career as an emergency medical technician. Diamond Dave reports that he recently relocated to New York, where he has started an EMT training program he hopes to complete by November. The singer apparently plans to put his newly acquired skills to good use. "My dream would be to save a Scandinavian hikerette," he jokes

oh man , dave will always keep me suprised !

i've read that he's a really smart guy , so it'll be interesting to see if he actually does it !

[SuckaInA3Piece]

Yea Dave is actually a very smart guy. I would love it if we ever got the chance to interview him, because when he really opens up, it's very interesting stuff. I think what he's doing is very cool, and the fact that it's all volunteer work makes it even better. Good luck Dave! [img]images/smilies/icon_thumb.gif[/img]

you guys probably allready know this but i thought i would post it anyways...

"Celebrity Justice" reports: VAN HALEN and back-again lead singer Sammy Hagar are selling thousands of tickets for their summer tour, and that means big-time cash for… former lead singer David Lee Roth? That's right, because as 'CJ' reveals, top musicians don't have to play onstage to get well paid. It's all about doing the rights thing, and as the summer concert season heats up, so are the rights fights.

As entertainment attorney Barry Littman explains, Roth gets paid even though he's not touring with VAN HALEN because, legally, he is a composer of all of VAN HALEN's early original work.

"If you have an immensely successful concert that's focused on David Lee Roth-VAN HALEN tunes, he's going to see more money than if VAN HALEN never went on tour," Littman notes. "The composers of the song are listed and each of them will have the right to get paid for anybody else performing their song live."

I think that's pretty awesome cause I never knew that before. It also makes me wonder why Dave packs his set list with VH tunes the way he does. If I were him I'd try to slim that total down. I mean they only play 7 Roth tunes on tour, and he does atleast 17 VH tunes in his set, maybe a bit less. I figured he wouldnt want to pay them more then he's gettin from them.
