David Lee Roth

Van Halen singer believes he can please wide-ranging audiences as “the patron saint of midnight.”

No matter what you’ve heard, the guys in Van Halen are getting along just fine, thankyouverymuch, and only postponed some concert dates because they “bit off more than they could chew.” That’s the skinny straight from VH frontman David Lee Roth, who recorded a video to explain the recent events — in his own words.

One of the highlights of Van Halen’s 2007 reunion tour was David Lee Roth‘s acoustic storytelling stroll through the classic ‘Ice Cream Man,’ the spirit of which seems to have found its way to Van Halen’s new album in the form of ‘Stay Frosty.’ And from recent reports, the acoustic vibes won’t end there for Diamond Dave.

Sometimes only David Lee Roth can properly express how you feel. Sometimes a set of circumstances are so complex that it takes a wordsmith like Roth to properly convey your sentiment. Sometimes you just have money to blow and you love Van Halen. If any of this rings true, then you need the David Lee Roth Scream Box.

David Lee Roth has always been as much style as substance, and in an interview with the New York Post, he says today’s bands are lacking that proper mixture — an opinion he says is shared by other (unnamed) artists as well.

In recent weeks Van Halen fans have been reminded of a number of David Lee Roth‘s other passions and he addresses one — sheep herding — in this video from the Van Halen News Desk. The singer takes viewers through the art of training a dog to herd, mixing in quips that only he could think of along the way.

Love him or hate him, David Lee Roth has never been anything less than eminently quotable — and his recent interview with the Toronto Sun found Diamond Dave in fine form, riffing on everything from Van Halen‘s longevity in the face of changing trends to the short list of things he’d need to save your life in an emergency.

David Lee Roth of Van Halen granted a couple of big exclusive news scoops to some autograph seekers last night (Jan. 4) in New York City — specifically, the name of the band’s long-awaited new album and the dates when they’ll be performing in the Big Apple as part of their upcoming tour.
