Now that his radio show has completely crashed and burned - David Lee Roth wants back into Van Halen, as the lead singer.

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’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.”‘ - [Source]

Umm. Yea.

The last time David Lee Roth recorded music with Van Halen was in 1996 - a full decade ago. Come to think of it… does Van Halen even DO music anymore? They haven’t been on tour since the summer of ‘04. They haven’t released an album since 1998 (unless you count the 2004 release of “Best of Both Worlds” which is just a combination of the greatest hits from a mix of the Hagar and Roth years.)

Is the world ready for a Van Halen come back with David Lee Roth in the spotlight.

There’s something to be said for history that is perfect and untouched.
