David Lee Roth: I structured the guitar solos on Van Halen’s debut album
A more likely scenario is Dave heard things Eddie was playing and suggested certain bits to be used in a tune, or suggesting rearranging rhythm parts ("that part might be better for a bridge than a verse")...perhaps whistling a musical idea to Ed here and there. That's a far cry from Dave claiming he "wrote the songs" though.
Yes, I think you are on to something here. I believe Roth was also trying to justify some authenticity to promote his Vegas residency.
