As we reported last week, Van Halen did in fact hold their press conference yesterday in Los Angeles to announce the band's first tour in 22 years with former front man David Lee Roth. Roth, assuming his frontman post in fine form, said, "This is the press conference you never thought you'd see—especially while we we're still young, skinny and good-looking."

And as far as the "reunion" tag goes, Roth added, "It's a new band with a new sound and new energy, but we'll play songs you know as well as the roof of your mouth."

We don't know the roof of our mouths so well. Should that concern us?
