The DLR Cast

Episode 7: A Conversation With Mitch Schneider, Former Publicist for David Lee Roth

Mitch Schneider has worked with some of rock and pop's biggest superstars, including Prince, David Bowie, Heart, Yes, Tom Petty, Grand Funk Railroad, Aerosmith, Heart, and Ozzy Osbourne. Co-founder of the Schneider/Rondan Organization (SRO PR), Mitch stopped by "The DLR Cast" to talk about his time as David Lee Roth's publicist from 1991 to 2003. 
As recorded in July 2020, Mitch told Darren and Steve some interesting details and stories about working with Dave, starting with the "A Little Ain't Enough Album" through Dave's ill-fated 1996 reunion with Van Halen at the MTV Music Awards -- and let's not forget the weird and wacky David Lee Roth's "No Holds Bar-B-Que" home video. In addition, Mitch told some great stories about former clients David Bowie, Ted Nugent and Aerosmith, and there's some discussion about DLR's recent feature in The New York Times!
