MetroFanatic: David, have they signed you yet?
David Roth: Yes, they turned my papers in today. I am officially signed and ready to go.

MF: Look, I'm sure you've been asked this before. David Lee Roth...
DR: (laughs) My middle name is not Lee, unfortunately. I do like Van Halen...

MF: By choice or?
DR: I actually get asked that all the time, I do like Van Halen by choice, but I get asked if my middle name is Lee at least once a week. But no, it's Anthony. If I could change it, I'd change it.

MF: Sorry for being so unoriginal.
DR: No, it's all good. My mom's side of the family, all their middle names are Lee, but I didn't get it... I'm glad I didn't.

MF: So you weren't named after him?
DR: (laughs) No. Just a coincidence.
