  • ANTISEMITES. Shame on you two !

    What was the need to call David Lee Roth “a Jew with a Jew hook nose”

    Episode name: “David Lee Roth’s last performance - a total train wreck” six minutes in.

    I wonder if they’d say it to David Lee Roth’s face or the people they report to or Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and many more.
