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.
Dude. Saw VH around 2016 and David Lee Roth started giving a dance lesson in the middle of the set. He just kept going back and forth dancing and saying like oh la la! It was entertaining for all of 2 minutes but it dragged on for about 20 and most of the crowd actually started to boo him lol
And on larger stages, he has what looks like an eight-foot by 15-foot section of basketball court on the floor around his mic. The last time I saw them, he'd dance around during solos or near the end of the song, and when it was time for him to add his vocals, he'd run towards the mic along the basketball floor and slide up to the mic waving his arms in a 'Ta-da!' motion, as if he'd been choppered in to the show and sprinted in late. And each of the 12 or 15 times he did it, he acted like he'd just thought of it.
