Roth to Van Halen: "People want the reunion..."
"No one will pay respect to what any of us do [musically] until we get the reunion out of the way ..."
(A.P.) Hell, Mich. - Roth Army World Headquarters
Here we go again. An offer is made by Roth. Let's do it one more time. Let's give the people what they want. Let's go out, nothing permanent, for a 3 month tour, then people can finally take us seriously. We've heard it all before. We heard it in 1985. Both sides saying they were still together, then both sides saying the other caused the rift. We heard it in 1996, when Roth was in, then he wasn't...because of "Ed's Fucking Hip." We heard it again in 2000, when Roth went to 5150 and recorded up to 4 tunes, only to have Dave leave one day, and never call, nor get called back again. We heard it in 2004, only to have Van Halen collaborate with Bette Midler on a piss-poor tour. We heard it a month ago when Roth was trying to get ratings. We hear it today. "Let's do a reunion."
Roth was typical Roth on the show...responding to the Rumors that Van Halen might be the next band looking for a lead singer on the CBS Show, ROCK STAR: The Series. Roth stated that Van Halen would completely turn into a "novelty act," essentially trashing the Van Halen legacy (psssst, Dave, spEd's already trashed the Van Halen name, but I bet you know that).
It's not as though Roth hasn't piped in with his opinion on spED's choices for a lead singer before, but this one had a bit of urgency, and for once, a bit of level-headed sense. Roth, in letting spED and the band formerly known as Van Halen know that this was an idiotic idea, but said in no uncertain terms, let's reconvene Classic Van Halen for one more run around the block.
Earlier this week, Roth spurred rumors by essentially saying Van Halen was probably the band that CBS is talking about taking over.
The next day, Roth changed his tune a bit, but kept his edge, saying the he didn't believe that spED would do the show, that he has a "little bit of hope and faith that there's a little bit of something left of Eddie Van Halen's pre-frontal brain lobe (again, Dave, have you been around the past 30 years)."
Roth even gave a time frame: ""Van Halen would go out for three months. That's all Eddie could handle."
Once that happens according to Roth?
"Once Eddie (Van Halen - guitar) does that (the reunion), everything else he does can be seen with a fresh eye.
I don't know what the fuck is going on with this situation, but something is afoot...
Keep coming to the Army for some more updated Roth information.
