To be sure, he was a one-of-a-kind frontman/'vintage showman'...and in the end, he was the only singer for Van Halen who really ever mattered in my book.
He and Ed had such a great blend, the result of which was never really equaled by either of them again once Roth left the band.
Should Roth retire from live performances, it will be a passing of an era. The question here is if Roth should stop touring now, or keep plugging away at it, keeping in mind that where he is at age-wise he's really not going to improve or get any better from this point forward.
I suppose as long as people are still willing to pay good money to see him, Roth should keep performing as long as he can. I can't blame the guy for wanting to stay active.
