YouTube / TheRothShow

David Lee Roth’s vocals are as legendary as his stage presence. Whether you love or hate his singing, there’s no denying that his voice has a unique style that helped shape Van Halen’s iconic sound. A YouTube video highlights Roth’s five hardest vocal parts, showcasing just how much he pushed the limits of his voice. Let’s dive into the highlights from that video.

Extreme Low Notes
Roth wasn’t just about high-pitched screams—he could go impressively low, too. In one clip, his voice reaches the first octave of the piano, surprising listeners with how deep he can sing. And believe it or not, he can go even lower! It’s not something many people associate with Roth, but it’s one of the reasons his vocal range is so incredible.

Jazzy A4 in “She’s Looking Good”
Roth wasn’t just a screamer—he could also nail smooth, jazzy tones. In “She’s Looking Good,” he hits a croony A4 with ease. It’s a different side of his voice, showcasing his versatility. Who knew the wild frontman could pull off such a mellow vibe?

Falsetto in “Running with the Devil”
One of Roth’s most famous vocal moments comes in “Running with the Devil.” His falsetto, with just the right amount of distortion, is a perfect example of his ability to hit high notes while still sounding gritty and raw. It’s a classic Roth sound that fans love.

The Legendary Scream in “On Fire”
If you want to hear Roth’s voice at its most extreme, listen to “On Fire.” Roth lets out a scream that almost sounds like three voices happening at once. It’s powerful, raw, and simply mind-blowing—a scream that truly stands out in rock history.

Screaming Compilation
For a fun ride, there’s even a YouTube video that compiles all of Roth’s screams from “Running with the Devil.” It’s a wild reminder of his ability to push his voice to the absolute edge, and it never fails to impress. David Lee Roth may have left Van Halen, but his vocal legacy is still on fire.
