Dave recently mentioned he had been working with him again and now in a snippet from a recent interview in Metal Insider he has commented on it.





Not too long ago, David Lee Roth revealed that he was working on a musical jukebox project with you. What’s the status of that?



It’s called Somewhere Over the Rainbow Bar & Grill. What it was, he was warming up for the Van Halen record he said “Hey John, come on over, we’ll play some songs and write a little bit.” He likes to get his voice in shape and we were just hanging out at his house and he said “I love this, let’s go into the studio!” And we recorded it that day. Luckily I cleared my day, and we came out with twelve songs, and they’re incredible! I don’t know what he’ll do with it.




I remember hearing him say he had such grand ideas for it.


It’s so incredible. It is awesome. It sounds like “Could This Be Magic?” or “The Full Bug,” you know, that David Lee Roth deep voice. It’s really great. Hopefully it’ll see the light of day one day.



Was it nice working with David Lee Roth again?


Yeah. I’ve known him forever. For years and years and years and years and years. It’s great. It’s like hanging out with a friend, and just knocking stuff out.
