The Van Halen Response:
We parted company with David Lee Roth 11 years ago for many reasons. In his open letter of October 2nd, we were reminded of some of them. The intention all along was to do two new songs with Dave for the Best of Volume 1 package. He was never led to believe anything but that. When the four of us were asked by MTV and Warner Bros. to present an award at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards, the four of us agreed. Dave was never an "unwitting participant." We appeared in public just as we do before releasing any other Van Halen record. For the last two weeks we have been working with someone who we hope will be part of the future of Van Halen, although no final decision can be announced until contractual considerations have been resolved. Van Halen will go forward and create the best possible music we can. Edward, Alex, Michael
"Me Wise Magic," the first song with Dave since 1984, is released to radio stations across the country. The song had previously been played openly on many U.S. radio stations, all of which received Cease and Desist orders from Warner Bros. immediately afterward.
