One of the greatest rock bands in history, Van Halen, is actually recording a new album. Now, this is ALMOST the original line up - Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, Diamond David Lee Roth, and Eddie's son Wolfgang Van Halen. The missing piece is original bassist Michael Anthony.
I am interested in seeing if Wolfgang contributes anything to the creative process - I very much doubt it. Anthony is a SOLID bassist and has the backing vocal abilities that make him a valuable member of his current band, Chickenfoot, with former solo artist and Van Halen Frontman Sammy Hagar.
This version of Van Halen is the same one that went on tour together back in 2008. So, they HAD to have bonded somewhat in order to pull that off. Roth's voice can NOT reach the highs it did back in the 70's and 80's, but should not be expected to. In actuality, he is not a great singer. He is a performer. If he can perform the new songs well, they might be able to make this work.
Could be interesting...
