David Lee Roth laid down the law Tuesday night in New Hampshire.
During Van Halen’s performance of the Roy Orbison classic, “(Oh) Pretty Woman,” at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, a fight broke out amongst fans in the front section of the floor.
Roth stopped the band and dealt with the issue.
“Knock off the f**king fighting. F**k you!,” declared Roth from center stage, to the applause of fans. “What do you think this is, a f**king mosh pit? You’ve got all the best looking women on the f**king east coast here and all you can f**king think of is f**king fighting?!?”
“Ladies, I’m on your side, yeah,” Dave added, to more applause.
Fans reports say that venue security stepped in to clean up the mess, as Roth instructed the band to restart the song.
"Alex...start it back at the top...let's do the whole thing over again."
