Posted May 22, 2012 by George Lang
Standing in the middle of a forest near Minneapolis wearing bib overalls and supervised by a herding dog, David Lee Roth explains why Van Halen postponed 30 gigs, just three days after SMG announced a September show at Chesapeake Energy Arena. He says that, despite some reports that there was fighting in the band, that the members of Van Halen are getting along “better than we have in quite some time.”
Like, between 1985 and 2007.
