But now that we know that Roth and EVH have never even been in a room together to hash out a tune in over 20 fucking years, I just can't give EVH a pass.
He says he jams all the time, but apparently ROTH, the singer in the band he claims to be in, is NEVER INVITED!
He can't call up Roth and say "Yeah Dave, come on over this Saturday night, we have a few ideas"?
All these nights, the Van Halen family jams, and how many times do you even think Roth would need to be there, just to get the shit together enough for the band to lay the basic tracks (Roth can even take the tapes to another studio to do vocals)?
How many fucking hours do you think EVH would actually have to spend with Roth?
There is one guy making it all difficult. One guy that creates obstacles. One guy that is making a big deal out of personality clashes.
And one guy that acts coy with the fans about his intentions.
