Wolfgang Van Halen is convinced David Lee Roth no longer likes him following a series of YouTube videos that were released by the Van Halen lead singer in recent months. Wolfgang Van Halen appeared on a recent episode of the WTF with Marc Maron podcast where he discussed his years playing bass in the band. Maron eventually brought up Roth and asked if the two of them get along. “Not really,” Wolfgang Van Halen said. “At least as of recently I thought we were on good terms, and he actually made a couple YouTube videos about me, about how much he doesn’t like me.” Earlier this year, Roth shared ...

Bad news for fans hoping to see David Lee Roth join Sammy Hagar’s Best of All Worlds tour, as the Red Rocker reports things have gone silent between him and his Van Halen predecessor. When Hagar first announced the tour, focusing on Van Halen’s classic material, he extended an invitation for Roth to join. Diamond Dave initially expressed interest, however when Hagar clarified that the offer was simply to guest on a song or two, rather than participate in the entire trek, Roth reportedly went silent. “He went AWOL,” Hagar explained during a recent interview with Sirius XM’s Eddie Trunk. “After ...

The ’90s were a turbulent time for Van Halen. After soaring through the previous decade as quite possibly the most universally beloved rock band on the planet, the group hit bumpier terrain in the ’90s. Although they released two multi-platinum albums in the first half of the decade, they also endured nasty public feuding, two more lineup changes, the genre-resetting revolution of grunge and their first flat-out commercial failure. Apart from an extremely brief 1996 reunion that yielded two new songs, a very awkward joint public appearance and a nasty war of words in the press, the band’s form...

For this week’s Loud List, we have 10 unforgettable David Lee Roth moments. The vocalist isn’t known as “Diamond Dave” for no reason.

After parting ways with Van Halen in the ’80s, Roth went on to have a successful solo career. He eventually returned to the group for a highly-anticipated reunion in the 2000s, and they put out one final reco...

Michael Anthony admitted to suspecting that David Lee Roth had revenge motives in forming his solo band after leaving Van Halen. The bassist said he’d been impressed when he heard tracks from Roth’s 1986 release Eat ‘Em And Smile, which arrived around the same time as Van Halen’s 5150 – their first with new singer Sammy Hagar. “That’s a great album,” Anthony told Ultimate Guitar in a recent interview. “I’m friends with Billy [Sheehan]. And Steve [Vai]. Obviously, they’re both great frickin’ players.” READ MORE: Van Halen’s ‘5150’ vs. David Lee Roth’s ‘Eat ‘Em and Smile’ He continued: “At first...

David Lee Roth has released a cover of Tommy Tutone’s Top 5 hit “867-5309 / Jenny,” which he cheekily referred to as “That Telephone Song.” You can listen to it below. It’s a fairly faithful cover of the 1981 power-pop anthem, substituting the crunchy electric guitars for acoustic strumming and more jangly leads. Roth also adds a bluesy harmonica solo in lieu of a guitar solo. The former Van Halen frontman has stayed active on YouTube in recent months, releasing several songs, dance videos and spoken-word musings. His cover of “867-5309 / Jenny” arrives two months after the rap-rock song “Elec...
