ZAKK WYLDE Gets 'Owned' By DAVID LEE ROTH At VAN HALEN Rehearsal; Video Available

September 17, 2007

A BLABBERMOUTH.NET visitor has submitted the following report:

"The last of the four secret rehearsals by VAN HALEN took place last night [Sunday, September 16] in Los Angeles. Unlike the other shows where 40-50 people were there, this was a much bigger affair with about 500 friends of the crew and band. Some of the people in attendance were Tom Morello (RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE) METALLICA's Kirk Hammett and Zakk Wylde. About two songs into the show, Zakk — who was front row — tried to get onstage with Eddie [Van Halen]. The security were wrestling to pull him off and David Lee Roth came over and said, 'Nah, nah, nah. Are you in show biz? Then get off the stage. Get off the fucking stage.' At that point Eddie came over and acknowledged Zakk, saying something to the effect of, 'Hey, man, I can't do this right now.' Throughout the show though Eddie was smiling at Zakk. At one point Zakk swapped shoes with one of his guests (a girl who was wearing high heels) and spent a good portion of the show wearing these!!

"As other reports have suggested, this show is amazing in every way. Do not miss it if you get a chance. Wolfgang does an amazing job and David Lee Roth's introduction to him was 'this band is three quarters original, one quarter inevitable."
