David Lee Roth Imposter Revealed

Police in Canada have revealed a man they pulled over for driving erratically in Ontario recently was not Van Halen front man , but an imposter.

As previously reported, two policemen pulled over a man in the province in May for speeding. The man told police he was David Lee Roth, and that he was having an allergic reaction to peanuts. Police waited with the man until emergency services arrived and took him to hospital where he told medical staff the same story.

Now thestar.com has revealed that the man was David Kuntz of Cambridge, ONT and he had previously posed as Lee Roth on several occasions including at a local bar where he performed with the house band under his rock star guise.

The charade was brought to police attention after newspaper readers recognized Kuntz and called the police.

In an interview with Tmz.com, the real David Lee Roth said he is not allergic to peanuts, but is "allergic to criticism".

Thanks for the report to Nme.com.

I think its cool how David Lee Roth is so notorious for his crazy antics that that guy actually almost convinced some people that's who he was just by the stupid crap he was doing.

he doesnt really look like DLR. he's just a hobo with a horrid last name

[kirkadolph]

Damn when I saw this, I thought they were saying its been a fake David Lee Roth since VH got back together or something.

its funny because on my local news there was a storie on this before they found out he was a fake. It say he was thinking of buying property around the brampton area or something

[Seidenschnur]

They figured out it was an imposter when they didn't find a codpiece on him.

[Malchius]

[Jericho114]

Shit I am from Cambridge Ontario. That is too funny, I wish I knew the guy.

[Seanold]

i read this in my local newspaper (i live in burlington, ontario), the first day it was like "OMG David Lee Roth was in a canadian bar playing with a local band!!!!" then the next day it was like "oh shit he's a phony":P

[C.C. Deville]

he doesnt even look like DLR... lol kuntz...

[rinestone]

"I'm David Lee Roth and I am having an allergic reaction to peanuts!" I can understand the whole lying part but "I'm David Lee Roth"? Really?

[hamjam]

Kuntz? how nice... "Hello, my name is Kunt, David Kuntz"

[diditfortehlulz]

DLR is the ****ing man, even if he is an imposter version.

Can't believe that Trivium bollocks took front page over this.

[Lrn2shrd69]

This has made my ****ing day, no joke! I showed this to my dad and he said "Geez I hope he's not black"
(Implying Black Kuntz)

I'll second that.

checked

[pdq13]

The man was heard singing from D-cell when it was discovered he was actually carrying a tune.His voice was pleasing to the ear with impressive volume and a crowd quickly gathered.He obviously was not David Lee Roth and the crowd knew this but let him continue anyway.The real Dave is without a doubt the worst attempt at a vocalist theres ever been but like Dave the second the crowd knows but refuses to acknowledge his problem.Let the boy sing,cried the inmates and staff.Put a sock in his pants!Put a sock in his mouth.Better yet,put a sock in the mouth of both Daves.The "Rock Star Wannabees".
