DLR Supergroup?
Received this in a Yahoo Groups email this morning. I have not seen anything on this, but it sounds interesting. Anyone else heard about this at all?

Metal Vets Unite For New Band
From: The Stomp Box
Submitted By: Anthony Jackson
This story is taken from a new (hard copy) British heavy metal
magazine called THE STOMP BOX . The debut issue hits stands in
about three weeks. Here it is:
Has the trumpet of Gabriel finally ushered in a new era of
Rockdom? It was at the hallowed halls of Hollywood's Rainbow
Bar and Grill where a possibly new Renaissance of Rock and
Roll was begotten. That is where, on a sultry summer night two
years ago, original Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth ran into
another notorious Hollywood luminary Tommy Lee. The two
rockers hoisted a few spirits, swapped rock and roll war
stories, and before long, Roth found himself hijacked and
taken back to Tommy Lee's home to listen to tracks Tommy was
planning on using for a solo album. What began as a few
suggestions from Roth culminated in a full blown collaboration
with the two former hair head rockers whipping up a batch of
ten original tunes in two weeks.
Confilicting schedules and personal issues precluded Roth and
Lee from consummating with an album and tour at the time, but
The Stomp Box caught up with David Lee at a cafe in
Manhattan's Lower West Side, just two blocks from one of New
York's most prominent rehearsal studios where Dave has been
hashing out the Roth/Lee compositions with former KISS lead
guitarist Vinnie VIncent and ex-Ozzy Osbourne bassist Bob
Daisley. Ray Luzier, who has toured with Roth since the
nineties, was handling drum duties.The hyperactive huckster of
rock was in high spirits and, to our surprise, somewhat
comprehensible as he gave The Stomp Box the skinny on his new
project.
According to Roth this CD will provide some "combustible and
inextinguishable rock and roll that will shake the world out
of its lethargic hip hop and alternative slumber." This will
not be a Roth solo project according to The Diamond One, but a
full on musical unit! "Robert, Vincent, Thomas, and myself
have sampled more than our fair share of bitter fruit in this
crazy business called show. We've decided to harness that
negative energy and channel it into the music." So, what will
these disgruntled, dishonored, and disgusted rock and rollers
call themselves? BITTER PILL according to Roth. When we asked
for a possible album title , he replied, "What else would you
call it, Bubba?...SWALLOW."
Precisely when this album would be recorded is still up in the
air. Vinnie VIncent is currently unattached , but Bob Daisley
is set to make a new CD with his band LIVING LOUD featuring
guitarist Steve Morse, this Fall. Also open for speculation is
whether or not Tommy Lee himself will step in behind the drum
kit for the recording sessions or even a tour. "That remains
to be observed", says Roth. " I sent Thomas a recording of the
rehearsals and he almost jumped out of his skin. When he
recovers after being knocked out by the vibe, the flash, the
attitude, the pomp, and the circumstance, we will await his
reply."
