Video: David Lee Roth on the Meaning Behind "Stay Frosty"
While Van Halen's new album, A Different Kind of Truth, maybe be remembered for having some of the heaviest tracks in the band's catalog, there's one mostly acoustic number on the album that has proved surprisingly infectious: "Stay Frosty."
In a new video, David Lee Roth sits down to reveal the origins behind the song, which has roots in Roth's early family life. Watch below to get the full skinny on "Stay Frosty."
Van Halen kicked off their North American tour in support of A Different Kind of Truth last night in Louisville, Kentucky.

He stole it from Aliens - Hicks says it to Hudson and Vasquese "Stay Frosty - we cant afford to let one of those bastards in here"

Uh, no. Watch the video. He explains.
See, that's what the whole video is: Him explaining where the song came from, including the title and where he first heard the phrase.
Watch, then comment. Then you know what you're talking about. Easy!

You may have looked at the vid, but you obviously didn't listen, comprehend, or get to the 2:00 mark where DLR mentions he heard it from the returning GIs in 1972-73, YEARS before Aliens came out. Who's the retard now?

I thought Eddie came up with the title and it meant he likes to smoke crystal meth.
