David Lee Roth says he's meeting with the Van Halen brothers this week to "discuss new music," and that "there is plenty of music coming up" from him.
Speaking to the music interview website Toazted at Holland's Pinkpop festival, where he sang the recent "Jump" remix with DJ Armin Van Buurin on Thursday, Roth won't go on the record as to whether that new music he makes will be with Van Halen. Instead, he cryptically explains that "I make no promises, but I make promises, but I don't. I have to publicize now that I'm not talking."
A 40-second clip from the interview has been posted on YouTube. In it, Roth also advises fans to "dial into DavidLeeRoth.com or his podcast,TheRothShow, for updates on his new music.
It sounds like he's trying to tease something that may be happening without saying too much and upsetting the Van Halens. When he says he has to "publicize that he's not talking," is that his way of saying he's been told not to say too much. Do you think he might have realized that he'd already said too much and was trying to walk it back? This may be the good news Van Halen fans have been waiting for...and it may not be. It sure sounds promising for Roth fans, one way or the other.
Fingers crossed??
