Is it really true that David Lee Roth will be touring with Van Halen this summer?
Oh my.
I hear Eddie’s son will replace him, I hope he has inherited some of that talent.
Yes it is true

But Eddie’s son is just replacing the bass player, not Eddie. Good god man you can’t replace Eddie!
And yet I bet Wolfgang can play the guitar for every VH song note-perfect at age 15.
And I’ll say it again, I forsee a future Van Halen lineup consisting of David Lee Roth, Alex, Michael Anthony, and – on guitar – Sammy Hagar. Maybe it will just be a few songs at Eddie’s funeral, but it will happen.
No Michael Anthony? Bah! His backup vocals are a major, if vastly under-appreciated part of the Van Halen sound.
I love(d) David Lee Roth…
I love Eddie…
But seriously, they WERE the band…
Many drummers and bassists can cover for Mike and Alex.
JMHO.
Now then, Diamond Dave?
Well, he was the FUCKING KING in 1984. Period.
But lately, he just seem too old and drug addelled to be able to ever recapture that old-school mack-daddy fucking-A-ness.
I’m sure many fans will agree… I mean, after all, he was “disrespectful to Beck”
