David Lee Roth: Van Halen Frontman on REELZ

[Von Halen]

Did anybody else watch this?

I thought it was okay. I found what I feel are a lot of discrepancies. But hey, it was about Dave, it was about VH. I've spent a worse hour and a half.

I watched the first ten minutes of it or so, then fast forwarded through the rest of it: one or two old (1970s before the band was signed) pics I hadn't seen before. The first ten minutes was typical cable tv rock bio tripe with commentary from talking heads who were too young to have even seen the band in their prime: not for nothing, but I don't need to hear from/watch a twentysomething media critic reading cue cards full of info from Roth's Wikipedia page. There were a few things I heard in the first ten minutes that didn't sound correct factually, but then a lot of those quickie cable rock docs have those factual errors here and there.

But, hey, it was free on demand, so at least I got out of it what it was worth and didn't waste too much time on it.
