“I’ve got a band that is doing what Al and I used to call a ‘block,’ that means 75 rehearsals for one show,” Roth said. “We are bringing it in classic VH style. Alex and I are the only version, that was his message. There is no other variation. There is no torch being passed. There is no other side to this coin. This is classic, in-your-face Van Halen.”

“I’ve given you all I’ve got to give. It’s been an amazing, great run, no regrets, nothing to say about anybody. I’ll miss you all. Stay frosty.”

No mention of Michael Anthony...

Humm. There must be an on stage reunion of some sort, that is a given.

Wolfie on guitar? Michael on bass? Eh...

The best to you Mr Roth..the best!

I'm just a gigolo and everywhere I go
People know the part I'm playing
Paid for every dance, selling each romance
Ooh, what they're saying
There will come a day and youth will pass away
What, what will they say about me
When the end comes I know there's a just a gigolo's
Life goes on without me

No mention of Michael Anthony...

I don't know WTF is with those guys but they all, on both sides, act like he never existed.

Sammy and him seem to work together exclusively. Is it their hate for Sammy or has Michael told him/them to take a flying leap

This is not news, you were just not paying attention when he told you about it 30 years ago.

What do you expect when you’re replaced by a painter.

“Roth was originally scheduled to open for KISS but has since been replaced by performance painter Garibaldi...”
