    2400 Days...Now We're Just Making Shit Up #1

    Besides the obvious EEAS band reunion...

    What supergroup collaboration would you pay to see with Dave as frontman?

    OK I actually gave this a few moments of thought...

    SRV's former backing band Double Trouble... Chris Layton (drums), Tommy Shannon (bass), and Reese Wynans (keyboards). Combined with the Rev Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top on guitar.

    Here's reasoning... lay the foundation of the music collaboration in Blues and Jazz only. Keep it dark, tongue-in-cheek, smokey and whiskey saturated. No fast crap and high pitched vocals. Plant it firmly in Dave's mid to lower blues register.

    Gibbons can add interesting guitar flavor and his penchant for using tuned down guitar rhythms will keep Dave away the high pitched, strained crap that kills anything he comes near today. Gibbons also has a flare for songwriting in a similar smutty, dirty, back alley world that Dave loves to embellish...

    ...and they could even bust out a bluesy rendition of "Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers", since Dave knows that song..... sort of....

    I think having the vocals planted firmly in Roth's current register is the key factor for me wanting to hear Roth fronting ANY group these days: if his vocal strategy and ability is no longer cutting it for Van Halen - and it isn't - why in the fuck would I want an EEAS reunion? To hear Roth butcher that stuff, too?

    I could definitely see Roth fronting a blues type band. He can pull off that smooth vocal.
