Details
Legendary Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth, is back! Don't miss your chance to see live the rock n roll legend, play his hit songs such as "Jump", "Just A Gigalo", "Panama", "California Girls" and many more. Born in Bloomington, Indiana in 1954, rock vocalist "Diamond" David Lee Roth moved to California in the early 1970s, where he performed with the local group Red Ball Jets before joining the Van Halen brothers' band, Mammoth, in 1974.

After Mammoth found a permanent bassist, Mike Anthony, the group changed its name to Van Halen to avoid conflict with another band named Mammoth, and began gigging around the West Coast. The group was eventually discovered by KISS bassist Gene Simmons, who got them a deal with Warner Bros. in 1978.

Along with guitarist Eddie Van Halen, Roth became the centerpiece of Van Halen as it gained a huge international following over the next several years, its hard rock albums selling millions of copies each. Roth gained a reputation as the "bad boy" of the group due to sexist comments on stage and a wild lifestyle behind the scenes that included strippers and trashed hotel rooms. His 1985 solo debut, Crazy From the Heat, became a hit and led to talk of a movie career; the rest of the band began accusing Roth of having a big ego. After repeated disagreements, Roth quit Van Halen in 1985 to pursue a full-time solo career.

David Lee Roth recruited a backing band, including famed guitarist Steve Vai and bassist Billy Sheehan, for his second solo album, 1986's Eat `Em and Smile. The album sold over two million copies, establishing "Diamond Dave" as a successful musician in his own right. Following the release of his hit 1988 follow-up, Skyscraper, Sheehan left Roth's band to form his own group, Mr. Big, and Steve Vai embarked on a solo career. Roth recruited new musicians for 1991's A Little Ain't Enough.

Roth tried to change his image with the more experimental 1994 effort Your Filthy Little Mouth. In late 1996, talk began circulating that Roth would record two new songs with Van Halen for a "greatest hits" package, prompting rumours of a permanent reunion. It was not to be: Roth and Eddie Van Halen soon began attacking each other via comments on MTV, and the reunion never materialized.

David Lee Roth plays Vicar St. on March 3rd 2004. Tickets priced €43.50 are available from usual outlets nationwide.
