But Roth is 25 years older now. It wouldn't work today. Van Halen should just hang it up, they've had a good run. Eddie can keep himself busy doing soundtracks, or even start a new band.
Or retiring. Seriously...those tracks he did in 2004 on the Best of discs with Sammy are just awful...those riffs and solos are leftovers from the Balance sessions at best. His playing live has nose dived and his solo was quite simply the worst he has ever done.
I disagree with most and thing Van Halen 3 with Cherone was one of the best VH shows I had ever seen. I got front row tickets for that for free and had the time of my life..Gary is a great performer and has a great voice...the album's production however was horrible and people at that point wanted Sammy back in a bad way.
