Summary
David Lee Roth and Alex Van Halen have appeared together in public for the first time in years, sitting alongside muralist Robert Vargas at a TEDxFargo event about why great art requires risk. Roth called it "a step towards world peace"; Alex said the most important thing in art is to learn the basics and then break all the rules. It lands months after Alex told a Brazilian magazine that Sammy Hagar — who sang on four consecutive Van Halen number ones — is "a complete idiot," and after leaving him out of his memoir entirely. Also on this episode: Slaughter To Prevail's Alex Terrible issues a detailed new statement denying the Nazism allegations that have followed his career, addressing his since-covered Black Sun tattoo and saying his own interpretation of a symbol "doesn't erase its history or what it represents to other people." And As I Lay Dying debut "Polarized" and "Retribution" — deliberately the two extremes of their ninth album, with twelve songs recorded, ten making the cut, and fans helping decide which two get dropped.
