Yeah, I don't think Roth is any more than 5'10" these days at most. Not sure if he was ever 5'11.5" either. I think his footwear use to make him look taller, Sammy Hagar mentions in his book that when he met Roth to discuss their tour, he was surprised at how tall Roth was until he noticed he was wearing platform shoes.
Eddie may very well have been 5'8" when he was younger, but I think he's 5'7" today. He's had health problems and a hip replacement surgery so I believe he's lost height. He also has horrendous posture. I think he was usually listed at 5'9", and I remember that I use to see some bizarre 5'11" listings for him years ago.

Tell me Dave hasn't lost a couple of inches. It's blatantly obvious. Danimal says on 29/Jan/12

He's lost height since then. No WAY is he 5'11.5" today. Rob, look at the video I posted of him barely taller than Eddie Van Halen today. Danimal says on 27/Jan/12
WOW, he has lost serious height (a good 2"). Not that much taller than Eddie Van Halen today. This is a brand new video from 2012. Looks to be 1-2" taller than Eddie now. Back in the day had serious height on Eddie: Click Here Brad says on 14/Jan/12

Met him several times. 5'11" bryan says on 13/Oct/11
I met him and 5"10" is accurate.. michaelj says on 16/Aug/11
Hagar claims 5'8 ( in his book) & Michael Anthony clams 5'6 which puts Roth around the listed height. Steven says on 1/Jun/11
