Roth grew up in a family of doctors.
Two of his uncles, as well his grandfather, were surgeons, according toJewAge.
His family moved to California when he was a teenager.
Over the next few years, he changed schools more than once because of his hyperactive behavior.
The future star met Alex andEddie Van Halenwhile attending Pasadena City College a meeting that would change his life.
But back then, Roth had a completely different job than one would think.
“I have been on over 200 individual rides now,” he toldThe New York Postat the time.
The former Van Halen star described his experience as “an eye-opening adventure.”
He even saved the life of a woman who had a heart attack.
However, this wasn’t the first time Roth worked in a healthcare setting.
The star was employed as a hospital orderly during his teenage years, according toUltimate Classic Rock.
In this role, he assisted patients with bathing, feeding, dressing, and other day-to-day activities.
Hospital orderlies also transfer patients from one room to another, provide companionship, and perform routine cleaning.
Moreover, they are responsible for keeping track of inventory and assisting with surgery setups.
Roth also worked at a horse stable.
“The job we have is a privilege.
The Van Halens and I have had steady jobs since we were 12 years old.
Mine was working before and after school at a horse stable.
For them it was paper routes,” he said in an interview withThe Guardian.
But his passion for music took over.
