- All-Star Cast: The formation of Eat 'em and Smile, in the eyes of many hard rock fans. Roth, Steve Vai, Billy Sheehan on bass and Gregg Bissonette on the drums.
- "Take That!" Tit-for-Tat: A rumoured, never confirmed regarding the albums of Roth and "Van Hagar". Roth released Crazy from the Heat, Van Halen had 5150, the police code for a crazy person. Roth released Eat 'Em and Smile, VH had OU812 ("Oh, you ate one too?"). Finally, VH released For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge and Roth had Your Filthy Little Mouth.
- What Could Have Been:
- The producers of Beverly Hills, 90210 contacted his management about using "Just Like Paradise" as the theme song. The managers shot down the idea without checking with Roth first.
- His Vanity Project feature film, Crazy from the Heat. A change to the top brass at CBS Films led to a promised $10 million being yanked from the project. The original screenplay surfaced in 2018, and it's... well, see for yourself.
