This makes sense. Never struck me as a 6ft guy ever.

My friends sister worked at a hospital in Pasadena. She’s a tall person like 5-9 range. She met him several times. I’ve seen a picture of him with her and he’s at least 2” over. Weak 6-0 peak I’d say definitely over 5-11.

I met him in person and I am 6 ft tall. He was way below that! I'd say five seven it five eight tops!

He said in his last appearance of the Joe Rogan podcast that he lost height from surgery, going from 5"11 to 5'10.

I listened just now (Running With The Devil), and the song is about a guy who lives life in the fast lane, so a more mellow euphemism would have been more agreeable to the likes of me, but that would hardly be the case with your average Heavy Metal fan!
I mean, who am I to talk? I was, and still am, a full blown Black Sabbath fan, Alice Cooper fan etc. etc. and own a track with a voodoo sounding live exorcism included. Music that makes the heart beat faster holds a lot of appeal.

Dave, as he was back in the late 70s, looked so different in his stage outfits, and without doubt in high heels, he DID look tall, and very hunky with his long hair and stage make-up.
I got into Van Halen after I entered the rock night club The Wellington in Waterloo, London, a couple of minutes' walk from both mainline and tube stations in Autumn 1979.
I heard the track 'Running With The Devil', and though I hardly agree with the lyrics, it's still a mega powerful song. In fact, I'm going to listen to it in the adverts. The intro is so, so memorable, making one's skin follicles stand on end, and I rate it as the best part of the track, which is from their first album, entitled 'Van Halen'.
Dave Lee Roth gets 5ft11.5. That's some come-down to height I was accustomed to thinking he was!

Looks tallish, a bit above average and could be guessed as 6'0-6'1, but not tall yet. 5'11.25 sounds right

In this article from 2010, this guy took a picture with David Lee Roth and in the paragraph below the picture, he says that he's 5'11" and Dave was shorter than him, as you can see from the picture itself. Also, take into account, this is also almost a decade old, so Dave, now in his mid 60's, would be even shorter today: Click Here

my dad met him and he said that it’s bs. He said there is no way that he is six foot. He actually got really mad about this but don’t let him know but I think that he just has a bad judge of height. Btw you should know that my dad is around six foot three inches so I think he knows who is six foot or not. All he remembers about meeting him is that they took a shot together and that he’s really short. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

David always cut a fine and powerful figure performing with 'Van Halen' and I wouldn't have dismissed the possibility of his being 6ft!
Half-an-inch shorter is nothing to make a song and dance about, so I will happily give this singer 5ft11.5!

I can actually answer this question. I hung out with Dave for a whole day and evening when he was doing the A Little Aint Enough tour in MO. The question of height actually came up, we stood barefoot back to back and were exactly the same height, and I am 182cm. Scouts honor!!

Greg Stafford was absolutely the first singer for VH. Better than dave as a singer but not nearly as mobile. Size and bad knees were a rpoblem.

This must be a joke? He's always come across to me as being on the short side. You can tell by his build. He's 5'8 at the most in my opinion.

I'd say Roth is about 5'11.25." Eddie Van Halen is probably around 5'7.5." Michael Anthony is probably around 5'5"1/2 to 5'6". Wolfgang is probably maybe Roth's height or a half an inch taller.

Though I would eat my hat to find that his 6ft+ height illusion and overwhelming stage presence wasn't down to platform shoes and general rockstar attire, (big hair!), I was still a little surprised to read the (very interesting) letter written by Jerry on the 22nd July about the fact that he and his mate, both six-footers, spent a chilled night out with rockstar David some 10 years ago, and the first thought that Jerry had was 'how short he was'!
I had just managed to take in, when I first used this website, that Dave's height was a lot less than the 6ft or so that I had once imagined! Now I'm going to have to knock off a bit more from my guess, so this time I am putting 5ft10.5 for Dave Lee Roth.
(Dave WAS wearing comfortable slippers that night!)

He looked great in the late 70's/early 80's with his long hair and shiny stagesuits! He was an excellent performer and very exciting to watch!
The first time I entered the rock pub 'The Wellington', just outside Waterloo station, they were playing the song 'Running with the Devil', which gave me goose bumps as I found it quite scary, but oh, what a powerful welcome to the world of rock pubs!
I would have believed 6ft for Dave Lee Roth, but hey, at half-an-inch difference, I'm not going to quibble!

Not true at all. Greg Stafford was the original singer. See Dark Star. Anyhow, DLR looks around 6' in person. I stayed @ the same hotel as he did once and walked by him. He is exactly my height.

In shoes almost 6 foot met him 3 times doing vip security at the LA forum 2008 and Glenn Helen Pavilion 2003 I think. I was in my early 20's and about 25 in 08. Actually spoke with him briefly. Growing up in the 80's and 90's always thought he was cool. almost 5'11' barefoot morning.

Yeah, I don't think Roth is any more than 5'10" these days at most. Not sure if he was ever 5'11.5" either. I think his footwear use to make him look taller, Sammy Hagar mentions in his book that when he met Roth to discuss their tour, he was surprised at how tall Roth was until he noticed he was wearing platform shoes.
Eddie may very well have been 5'8" when he was younger, but I think he's 5'7" today. He's had health problems and a hip replacement surgery so I believe he's lost height. He also has horrendous posture. I think he was usually listed at 5'9", and I remember that I use to see some bizarre 5'11" listings for him years ago.

If you read the interview Eddie did with I think Guitar World after they recorded Fair Warning. He was bagging on Michael Anthony pretty hard on how he doesn't pull his own weight. It seems like Eddie has a problem with everybody, except maybe his brother.

If you judge pictures of Lee Roth carefully, next to Eddie Van Halen in particular, he is certainly the 6ft (or about that level) that he claims. A person who is 6ft tall would find it difficult to judge the height of a person who is 1-2 inches shorter than them anyway Freddie

Met him at a hotdog stand in NYC and talked for a bit. I'm 5'11" and he was a bit shorter than I, maybe 5'10". Pretty weird dude but fun to talk to.

In a music magazine in the early 80s he said he was 5'11 and 155 lbs., which seems consistent.

there's a live video of unchained in which Dave looks everything but 6' next to Eddie. And unless the people who surround him in the video are "vertically enhanced", he doesnt look like 6 footer in the movie clip for "just a gigolo".

I met him about 5 years ago. I'm 6 feet. He was 5ft 11 at best. He looks much smaller in person!!
