David Lee Roth
David Lee Roth was born October 10th 1955 in Bloomington, Indiana. By the dawn of his teenage years, his family had relocated to California, and by the early ’70s, Roth had become a major rock fan. Dave was soon singing in local bands, including the Red Ball Jets, who would play shows along with another up-and-coming rock band from Pasedena — Mammoth. The members of Mammoth, including brothers Eddie and Alex Van Halen on guitar and drums, respectively, would often borrow Roth’s PA system for their gigs, and a friendship was struck up. Soon after, Roth was asked to join forces with the Van Halen brothers, who had enlisted a new bassist as well, Michael Anthony. Whose idea was it to change the name of the band to Van Halen?
A) David Lee Roth
