I’d say he was a good 5’7 to 5’7.5 back in the day cause Valerie is only 5’6 and he was about an inch and a bit taller so my guess is 5’7

David Lee Roth was not 5’11.5…more like 5’10.5 max. Alex was 1.5” taller than DLR.

What a shock to find out that Eddie Van Halen is no longer with us. He was far too young to die.

172-173 cm range is probably a good shout for Eddie, Sammy Hagar seems to be the same height as well, if not a bit shorter. Alex always looks comfortably taller than Eddie & Sammy, and a little taller than David Lee Roth. I'd pin Roth at 181-182 cm whereas Alex looks like a legit, solid six footer. Wolfgang looks to be close to Alex's height as well.

I remember the episode of Two and a half men where Charlie Sheen is about to use the rest room and Eddie walks out (with his guitar no less). Charlie, who supposedly is 5'9", looked a good 2-3" taller. Two burritos and root beer float!

When he has big hair, he looks 5'9''. So probably 5'71/2''. Also, Roth is probably a little under 6'. I'd say 5'11''. He seems like one to exaggerate his height. Alex Van Halen is probably 5'11'', maybe 6'.

I have not heard anything about Wolfgang's height but he does look much taller than his father (And more heavier too!). I'd say he's as tall as his uncle Alex. Maybe around 6-0. A lot of these rock guys keep in great shape too. Dave has been well known to go out for runs. He has said that he keeps quite active all his life so i'd say he's a health nut all the way. Eddie recently stated in a interview that he does a lot of pilates. And they don't eat much either. In a old interview i read, someone had asked Eddie what he ate and he said "I just had a tuna sandwich". I think Eddie has a gym in his house. A lot of them do!

Here's the actual heights of all the members. David Lee Roth stated in Metal Edge magazine back in 1997 that he is 6-0. Alex and Gary Cherone is around his height as well. Michael Anthony stated in a 1991 MTV interview when talking about Kiss that he's 5-6. Eddie has said many times in the past that he's short. So i'm guessing that he's 5-8. Him and Sammy don't look that taller from each other. Hagar looks around Eddie's height or maybe 2 inches taller.

Met them all a few times back in the late 80's ....I'm 5'5 and Michael Anthony was exactly my height . Hagar which I see saying he's 5'10 was 5'7 tops. Eddie was around 5'8 and Alex was the tallest

Eddie and Sammy are almost the exact same height, Sammy being maybe a half inch taller. I met Sammy face to face in Dallas right before he went on tour with DLR in 2002 and the top of his head didn't reach my chin and I'm 5'11 1/2 so I don't think Eddie can be much more than 5'6 1/2.

Michael Anthony once said he was 5 feet 6 inches tall....his own words, I heard it myself, Alex Van Halen is supposed to be A solid 6 foot and as for the Diamond one MR. David Lee I've always heard 5 ft. 10 even and Edward is 5 feet 8 inches especially in his younger days.....The band members height goes by 2 inch increments between each one.

I've met him many times & even have plenty of pics hanging out with the guy. Sometimes I look a bit taller & sometimes HE looks a bit taller. I think it depends on shoes or hair! Lol I am 5'7"

I used to work at the music store Eddie used to buy his strings and amps. At his tallest, he is no taller than 5'7" at best. He is the same height as my sister (who also worked at the store).

LOL at Eddie being 5'11"-6!! He's always looked quite short, especially around some of the taller 80s shredders. 5 ft 8 tops, 5'7.5" barefoot is quite possible.

I grew up w/Eddie, Alex & Dave. I'm 5'9". Eddie was shorter than me so I'm guessing 5'7"-5'8"; Alex was the tallest of the three at about 6' and Dave was same height as my brother 5'11".

I've met Roth, and he's a solid 6ft, could be 6'1", he was leaning a little bit against a wall. Have stood about 10ft from Eddie. I'm 5'11" and Eddie actually seemed taller than me. He looked to be a tall 5'11", pushing 6ft. NO WAY is he 5'8", that's crap. Sammy is 5'8", and a really good guy.

Yeah, 5-8 is probably max for Hagar, I would think an inch or so less. I was thinking Eddie was closer to 5-6 than not but have to admit in recent pics looked more 5-8ish, tho didn't see if he was in boots which was possible. Roth is probably 5-11 at most these days.

Sammy Hagar claims 5'8 in his book & Michael Anthony has claimed 5'6 before. So I'm gussing Ed is somwhere near the listed height.

I remember seeing Eddie listed as 5'11" in magazines. I'm shocked his height was inflated by that much. I always thought he was 5'9", but I guess 5'8" is more likely.

how tall is Sammy Hagar, does any one know?
personally i think Eddie height has always been 5'8 to 5'8.5 tops not quite 5'9 though, i reckon he's lost some height lately though regardless of posture seem like a weak 5'8 now or around 171-172cm as if he lost nearly 2cm somewhere along the way and the exaggerated life he's led certainly can and will do that to you (if not worse) depending on your body own resistance and features.
he's an excellent guitarist though, no doubt, don't care about his personal life really it's his own, as long as he brings forth good music along with the band i'm more than happy, the rest is just blah blah blah.
good pics.

I think Eddie is probable about 5ft 5 now, judging by the fact that he looks like a 70 year old nowadays.

i was just thinking based on the latest evidence.....
does anyone else think EDDIE is 172cm now?
i get this impression he is shorter by 1cm now, not a huge difference but it does fit based on his latest pic/vid etc.
in the past he could look 176 to 178cm now he looks 175 to 177cm, a bit of an expert eye may pick this, i dont say i have a very expert eye or anything just just looks shorter 1cm to me.

i get this impression he is shorter by 1cm now, not a huge difference but it does fit based on his latest pic/vid etc.
in the past he could look 176 to 178cm now he looks 175 to 177cm, a bit of an expert eye may pick this, i dont say i have a very expert eye or anything just just looks shorter 1cm to me.
I'm what I am said on 18/Aug/07
Alex carried something on his shoulder, so he was obviously shorter than he's in pic with Glenn. But I've rarely seen an artist over 6'. Alex looks 6' to me. No comment about Ed's height. He's small.

No, he looks great now. Short hair, tan, new teeth. Eddie was Dracula for years. Seagrams-beer chaser. I like Bacardi & Coke....heavy on the Coke with cubes.

Wow, I thought Brad was exaggerating when he compared Eddie to Dracula. I just saw a recent Fender promo video for that new Van Halen signature striped strat thing. Ed looks AWFUL. It's disturbing how old he looks now.
Has Alex aged that badly?

No Michael Anthony in '07. Pathetic. I can't wait for Sammy to rip Eddie a new one. I don't care if he can play bass, the band will not be the same. I'm telling you, that 1981 series of shows I saw them were mind boggling. They were on fire. They blew the roof off Madison Square Garden and I saw all the usual suspects (Who/Stones/Zep/Sabbath,Floyd etc.) do near the same thing back in the 70's. You have to wait 6 months for a show like that nowadays. Back then: about every month.

Brad- you're right - music DOES suck now. I mean CRAP? oh yea, the "C" is silent in that last word. I hate rap, and the idiots who think talking to a beat, or better yet, talking to someone ELSE'S beat is talent. No, just about anyone of us can talk and rhyme words. We've been learning to rhyme since we were kids. Music now is s*** - sorry if offend anyone - but, man it's all garbage and I can assure you we won't be hearing Britney Spears on classic rock stations in 20 years.
Think about Madonna - she's had a million hits and you NEVER hear her on a classic rock station. You never will. And, if I DO hear "Papa Don't Preach" or "La Isla Bonita" on my local classic rock station, I'll know it's time to put the gun in my mouth.

Their '81 show at Madison Squarec Garden & The New Haven Coliseum were incredible. The entire lighting grid flipped over to read VAN HALEN in aircraft lights. They had speakers stacked to the cieling. I show teens snapshots I took of Van Halen, Zeppelin, The Who etc. in their prime and they all say "music now sucks, I want to go back 25-30 years ago".

Talk about nuts, too, and that's Eddie Van Halen. You're right - who does get along with him? I'm not saying Roth didn't have an attitude, and, of course, Sammy's his own guy, but makes you wonder just how much of the problems in the group are, and were, Eddie and not anyone else. His interview on Howard Stern, he was saying he cured cancer (probably from meth if you read between the lines), that smoking didn't cause it, that his son is 15 and "spanking it".
Class act.

True.but the man is nuts though.how bizzare is it that 2-3 years ago he was working in the Bronx by my house as a Paremedic? and hung out in bars in my neighborhood(even as recent as 3 months ago),me unknowing.then hanging out in record stores I go to claiming that he would be worried if nobody approached him for an autograph.gets the radio gig and has security and detectives surround him so you wont get near him.hard guy to figure out.at least I taped myself on radio asking him a question about a prowler in his yard.whats more bizzare is I havnt seen the guy in 13 years! got 5 photos with between 1990-1993.the guy cant sing but is my favorite frontman ever.

Not that I have anything against Roth - I think he and the boys were the best Van Halen. I'm not putting Sammy down, but Roth just had more attitude, presence, etc. Just a better front man. But, man, has he just destroyed his career. He gets the Stern/radio gig, and just screws that up. How many great chances does a guy get?
But, the bluegrass version really was embarrasing. Maybe seeing him doing it live was what made it so - he really just looked out of place. Maybe it's a lot better on the CD.

I always thought he was like 5'10" too, but Eddie is very thin. He said when he finished recording Fair Warning we only weighed like 125lbs. He is thin and had big hair back then, I guess that would give the appearance of more height, plus when someone is on stage the tend to look taller.
