Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth are going to try it again: suppress their personalities and their personal hatred for each other to tour as Van Halen one more time. The two are in the process of negotiating a deal for a summer tour.
I predict the animosity will be worse than ever this go 'round, with Van Halen's son, Wolfgang, playing bass (Van Halen senior kicked out original member Michael Anthony. Hey, there's a reason the band's name is eponymous: this guy runs the show).
Can you imagine if Junior's ego is as big as dad's?
Can you imagine Dave giving constructive criticism to either one? Or Dave talking to Wolfie as if he is, indeed, a 15 year old?
The last time I saw David Lee Roth live, it was 15 minutes before I realized it wasn't Carol Channing. Physically, he may not be the same Diamond Dave, but he yelped and jumped around a lot.
But, you know, any thing David Lee Roth does with Van Halen kicks the ass of "Van Hagar" anyday. Sammy Hagar isn't rock 'n' roll, he's a bumper sticker: I CAN'T DRIVE 55. And his hair looks like freakin' Shirley Temples'.
