David Lee Roth has released a video of an unplugged performance of Van Halen's Mean Street, originally the opening track from Van Halen's fourth studio album Fair Warning. The undated video, which finds Roth performing an exuberant version of the song with a group of unidentified musicians, arrived on the day that Sammy Hagar began his Best Of Both Worlds tour, which finds the Red Rocker's setlist filled with Van Halen songs.
Roth has a history of using social media to amplify his various beefs, and last year he released another acoustic song, Manda Bala – titled after a Portuguese expression that translates literally as "send a bullet" but more usually used to mean "go for it!" – on the day that Hagar celebrated his 76th birthday. Coincidence? Quite possibly, but it wouldn't be the first time Roth has made rather oblique references to his successor in Van Halen.
