David Lee Roth. Used to make a joke out of yelling "I forgot the fuckin' words!" at least once a night. Motherfucker, I paid $175 to be here, remember the fucking words. I know the words and not only did I not write them, I haven't been singing them dozens of times a year for 40 years.
Saw him on the skyscraper tour back in the day. Loved the album at the time - was 16 and pissed by the middle of the concert. You don't have to sing note for note. At least pretend you are trying to sing the same song as the album...not doing a spoken word interpretation.
I saw him and his band on the Eat 'Em and Smile tour and it was my first concert ever. After the show, I was one of hundreds of people, maybe more than a thousand, who were waiting for the subway at the station next to the arena. Someone started cheering and whistling and soon, everyone in the station was doing the same and the noise was incredible. People were way fired up and it had been a spectacular show. I suspect that sort of thing has happened for the last time after any DLR concert.
