From Billboard.com:
Roth Predicts Van Halen Comeback
Gary Graff, Detroit
Now out of one job, on the radio, David Lee Roth is seeking gainful employment in another capacity -- as lead singer of Van Halen. Again.
"I see it absolutely as an inevitability," says Roth, who was deposed by CBS Radio in late April as one of Howard Stern's replacements. "There's contact between the two camps, and they have legitimate management; Irv Azoff is part of their loop now.
"To me, it's not rocket surgery. It's very simple to put together. And as far as hurt feelings and water under the dam, like what's-her-name says to what's-her-name at the end of the movie 'Chicago' -- 'So what? It's showbiz!' So I definitely see it happening."
Despite that claim, Roth -- who was Van Halen's singer from 1974-1985 -- acknowledges that he hasn't seen Edward Van Halen "in a couple of years." The last time Roth recorded with Van Halen was for the group's "Best Of Van Halen Volume 1" album in 1996, though there have been periodic rumors ever since.
Roth isn't sitting around while he waits for the call, however. He joins the John Jorgensen bluegrass band for two songs -- "Jump" and "Jamie's Cryin' " -- on "Strummin' With the Devil: The Southern Side of Van Halen," a bluegrass-styled tribute to Van Halen. Roth calls it "a detour" as well as "an interesting return...Before there was rock 'n' roll, there was me and a single guitar, flat pickin' Doc Watson (songs)." Roth plans to make a number of TV appearances on behalf of the album, which comes out June 6.
Roth is also planning to tour later this summer to play Van Halen hits -- "I'm so proud of that music," he says -- favorites from his solo album and covers. He says he'll leave the banjos and fiddles at home, though.
"I like to bring out the brass section now and the keyboard players and the singers and so forth," Roth explains. "It's probably a little closer to the Rolling Stones' revue than to the early three-piece power trio. But the demand is amazing; I guess I'm lucky enough to be one of those guys now who can point at the map and say 'Let's go here' -- or, rather, my favorite expression, which is 'Let's follow the sun.'" |

Van Halen and everyone associated, especially DLR, suck. They fail b/c they suck. They've nothing to offer.
Dave is like Mick Taylor, he quit a hugely successful band, and since then has been trying to get back in...
How shitty is his life, that he wants in that piece of crap band? |

individually they are less than stellar but as a group Classic Van Halen would be intresting to see and hear, a new album would be killer! I need closure!!! |

Oh my God, its 2006!! Fuck! argh! yahhh! ergh!!! They'll all turn to stone!
Man, the horse has bolted. Let it go. This really, truly, is fucking crap. OU812 is art - but thats 19 fucking 88!!
Eddie was ok as soul-less shredder "way back when", but come on, it aint "way back when" now. Its fucking dull!!!
Ok, the Stones are bloody vaudeville, but for fuck's sake, aint there something new??? I loved 1988 (record year for fucking sluts that would challenge Bill Wyman) but, holy cocoa pops, that was 18 years ago!
Some may be glad, but this is sad, nay, its bad, buy a ticket, and you'll be had. |

I've said it before, and I'll say it again right now. If you want to get drunk, get up on the roof of your apartment building and throw eggs at cars, there is no better band in the world to crank than Van Fucking Halen.
....seaside sittin', just a smokin' and a drinkin', I'm ringside, on top of the world...... |

Van Halen Atomic Punk Lyrics
(Words by Van Halen)
I am a victim of the science age
A child of the storm. Whoa, yes
I can't remember when I was your age
For me! It says no more, no more
Nobody rules these streets at night but me
The Atomic Punk
Oh, yeah. Ah-ah!
I am the ruler of these netherworlds
The underground. Whoa, yes
On every wall and place my fearsome name is hung
Just look around. Whoa, yes
Nobody rules these streets at night but me
The Atomic Punk!
Ahhah!
(Guitar Solo)
Ohh!
I am the ruler of these netherworlds
The underground. Oh-oh
On every wall and place my fearsome name is hung
Look around. Whoa, yeah!
Nobody rules these streets at night but me, nobody. Ahhhhhh!
The Atomic Punk! |
