Final week, large information broke a couple of new tour that includes Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Jason Bonham, and Joe Satriani that may pay homage to the good Van Halen. Dubbed the “Better of All Worlds” tour as a nod to the “Better of Each Worlds” run that came about 20 years in the past, the 28-date run throughout North America would successfully be a giant ol’ journey down reminiscence lane.

And whereas it’s cool to suppose that Van Hagar (minus any of the particular Van Halens) is coming again in some kind, one man is trying to get again into the fold — one Mr. David Lee Roth.

Throughout an look final week on The Howard Stern Present, Hagar type of opened the door to the opportunity of Roth hopping on stage with the band in some unspecified time in the future. That’s, earlier than hitting him with a slight dig…

“It’s time. No one else is gonna do it. If Dave [Lee Roth] goes out, he can’t sing my stuff. [But] we are able to do a couple of of the early Van Halen songs. I’ve no downside with that; I did it once I was in Van Halen. That is actually a celebration of all that, and we’re the one ones who can do it.

“We’re gonna invite each musician in each city. Initially, everytime you play, if there’s a guitar participant on the town, it doesn’t matter what metropolis it’s, they arrive out to see Joe, identical to they used to for Eddie [Van Halen]. So if we’ve bought different guitar gamers, we’ll get them concerned, different singers, get them concerned. If [Van Halen drummer] Alex Van Halen desires to leap up, if David Lee Roth desires to come back out and be part of us, come on, motherfucker. You’re welcome. That is about Van Halen.”

In response to that assertion, Roth issued a fast, easy assertion of his personal to Van Halen Information Desk: “I’m able to go. Let’s do that.”

But now, in what could be a clarification/reversal, Hagar was fast to shoot down even the slightest concept that Roth would hop on for the entire tour. When requested on social media about Roth’s response and involvement within the tour, Hagar fucking let it rip throughout a number of feedback.

“He can come out and sing a track on a present or two, if he can bear in mind the phrases. He’s not invited on the tour NOOO F;()$(.g means. It was to sing a track with us someplace like quite a lot of singers guitarist ect are going to do on this tour. I do know higher than to have him on tour once more. Been there achieved that.”

“He ain’t popping out with me once more. Possibly 1 present a track or 2 if he remembers the phrases.”

Fucking oof.
