Michael Anthony has opened up about his relationship with former Van Halen bandmate David Lee Roth. In a video recorded last month but only recently posted online, the bassist admitted he hadn’t spoken with his former frontman in “quite some time.” “The last time I actually spoke with him was when [there was talk] about a possible reunion thing,” Anthony noted (as transcribed by Blabbermouth). “It’s really crazy because I hadn’t heard anything about [former Metallica bassist] Jason Newsted coming into the fold [and doing the tour]. And I got a call from Alex [Van Halen] and Dave from [manager]...

Wolfgang Van Halen has responded to recent comments made about him by David Lee Roth. Back in January, Roth posted a video to his YouTube page that began with a spoof interview with Jesus Christ. “Bro, I want people to know I got this job because of my talent,” said the parody Jesus in an artificially sped up voice. “I would have this job anyway, even if my dad wasn’t God. I just want people to know I got this job because of my talent.” Later in the video, Roth spoke directly about Wolfgang and their alleged interactions during the final Van Halen tour, describing him as a “schlemiel kid” and ...

Steve Vai has bad news for fans hoping to see a reunion from David Lee Roth’s Eat ‘Em and Smile-era band. “There was a period of time where we talked about it and we considered it,” the guitarist admitted during an appearance on Dean Delray’s Let There Be Talk podcast. “But then Van Halen was back.

And I’m so ensconced in my solo career, all the stuff I’m d...

Some fans found David Lee Roth‘s synthy Skyscraper stomach churning when it was released on Jan. 26, 1988. But that’s nothing compared to what the former Van Halen frontman endured while shooting the cover for his second solo album. A relatively experienced climber, Roth hadn’t done much aid climbing – that is, ascending with the use of tools such as pitons, which are metal bolts hammered into gaps in the rock face. But assistants Werner Braun and Ron Kauk felt like they had all the experience needed to allow adventure photographer Galen Rowell to secure the shot. The chosen location was Half ...

Roth’s first swipe at Wolfgang is that he feels the bassist was complaining about the singer not giving him enough attention during their touring together. “This fuckin’ kid. He’s complaining the entire tour lik...
