Music Video of the Day: Stand Up by David Lee Roth (1988, directed by ????)


Today’s music video of the day is for David Lee Roth’s Stand Up.  Stand Up was the second single to be released from Dave’s second solo album, Skyscraper.  This video finds David Lee Roth driving an fancy car, picking up beautiful women, and driving to a fancy city.  It’s just a typical day in the life of Diamond Dave and a reminder that Van Halen’s original success was as much about Roth’s showmanship as Eddie’s technical virtuosity.

At 70, David Lee Roth is still with us, though he says he’s retired from touring.  Roth, by the way, is a state-trained emergency medical technician in New York, a pilot, a visual artist, and a martial artist.

Enjoy!

  1. I was at “Rock ‘n’ Roll Ralphs” the other day…a Hollywood grocery store given that nickname because all of the “big hair bands” of the 80’s shopped there, including David….ahhhh, what a time it must have been!
