David Lee Roth

From August 14 2007: David Lee Roth hams it up at the Van Halen news conference announcing a new tour.

Hey all you haters out there: David Lee Roth & crew are pushing 60 and they still rock... Right?

At the Van Halen reunion show the other night at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, I was surprised to see how many people were snapping shots and videos when it was specifically prohibited on the tickets. From people with actual digital camers to camera phones, nothing is sacred anymore at most events. The last time they were here in 1984 with David Lee Roth, there was likely no video snapped of the good old rock days in their youth. Are we heading into an era where no show will ever be committed to memory without video?

I literally ran into David Lee Roth outside the tents at LA Fashion Week while I was busting it with my camera crew from one show to the next, and he was smoking a butt. I got to ask him about fashion and the Van Halen reunion, and tell him about how seeing VH's 1984 tour in Evansville, Indiana before they split changed my life. He could give a shit.
