DAVID LEE ROTH Talks Upcoming Las Vegas Residency - "I Am Las Vegas" (Audio)
September 20, 2019, 5 years ago
Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth is currently making the media rounds promoting his Las Vegas residency. He spoke recently with Atlanta's Rock 100.5 about the new venture.
Roth: "I am Las Vegas. I include hard rock. I include classic rock. I include rodeo. I include Gaga. I include mud wrestling. I include UFC, mixed martial arts. Our music has been part of all of that. If you say David Lee Roth to anybody, I pretty much get the phone call answered at least the first time. This is interactive in its most basic sense. The experience is not just the music and the show — it starts with two pieces of key lime pie for breakfast. It includes, 'I'm up way past my bedtime on a school night,' and 'Who even cares where the kids are, much less, what they're doing?' Everything's better in Las Vegas because it's all is right there, and if you buy a better ticket, you can balance out the money by eating twice at the all-you-can-eat Elvis buffet right around the corner. It's a weekend. This isn't like the local arena... you're getting on a plane or a bus, or you're tanking up gas and you're caravaning, and in that sense, it starts to become like there's a little bit of Woodstock. David Lee Roth is Vegas, baby. We include it all. I don't care if you're wearing a cowboy hat or a motorcycle helmet. I don't care if you look like Tarzan, wear big musclee...or your husband does too."
Roth talks more about the upcoming Las Vegas residency in the latest edition of his podcast, The Roth Show. Watch below:
