David Lee Roth Spotted At Sheepdog Trials
It’s the headline of the week! A rare sighting of the Van Halen frontman happened this past weekend at the most unlikely of places: the 145th Scottish Gathering And Games in Pleasanton, California.
The Hennemusic blogsite has the story:
Doug Lyle, a loyal reader of the Van Halen News Desk, had a chance encounter with Roth, who had a dog entered in the sheepdog trials.
Lyle heard the voice – and that distinctive DLR laugh – and suspected the guy behind the dark goatee and sunglasses was Roth.
After considering his options, Lyle approached the ‘stranger’ and struck up a conversation.
“I asked him if he was still with Van Halen and if they were doing anything more,” said Lyle. “He gave me a knowing smile and said: ‘You’ll be hearing from us in the next seven to eight months.’ He seemed very sincere… almost like it was a promise.”
Lock Up Your Sheepdogs Tour 2011!
Was the dog rounding up his syrup?
There had to be hair jokes, but what of the rumour that DLR is actually Sir Jimmy Savile’s son?
Can someone please tell Dave that “Smoked Sausages” don’t actually light, he’ll never get a decent drag outta that bloody thing.
Look” Jim Dandy” Lee Roth’s plugs have taken hold now if he could only develop his own career after being a rip off for thirty five years maybe he’ll have something to actually offer the piblic.
if they had what it takes it will not take this long to make a record
You gotta love this guy!
How’d his solo career do?one mediocre album after another with a different band then on to a failed lounge lizard act a failed talk show and then a successful para -medic job.Greatest frontman I Think not couldn’t live off past glories and took eight tries to get back into Van Halen and even that didn’t work because Edward fired Michael making it a non reunion tour.
