David Lee Roth took a brief timeout during a recent show to berate fans for fighting. Right in the middle of a searing rendition of the Roy Orbison classic "Pretty Woman," Roth halted the song to yell at some rowdy fans who had begun fighting in the crowd. Roth shouted, "Knock off the fucking fighting. Fuck you!" as fans applauded. Roth continued: "What do you think this is, a fucking mosh pit? You've got all the best-looking women on the fucking East Coast here and all you can fucking think of is fucking fighting?!? Ladies, I'm on your side." The band then segued right back into the song. Let this be a sign to anyone with Van Halen tickets, David Lee Roth has your back. Watch the video below:

@robdelaney had this to say about the new Van Halen song, Tattoo:

"That new Van Halen song really captures the feeling of dunking your head in a bucket of chlamydia."
