The singer had split with Motley Crue after being accused of having lost interest in making music.

How much progress had Van Halen made on their seventh studio album before parting ways with David Lee Roth in 1985, and how much of that work made its way onto 5150, the band’s first album with singer Sammy Hagar? Naturally, it depends who you ask. Nobody disputes that the band’s original lineup had begun writing some songs for the follow-up to 1984’s smash hit 1984 before personality conflicts and a dispute over Roth’s 1985 covers EP Crazy From the Heat led to the singer’s departure. The band recruited Hagar, fresh off his own platinum sales success with VOA and the hit single “I Can’t Drive ...

To his surprise, the guitar legend invited Roth to record two new songs for a career-spanning greatest hits album. Van Halen’s 1996 Reunion With David L...

Michael Anthony has opened up about his relationship with former Van Halen bandmate David Lee Roth. In a video recorded last month but only recently posted online, the bassist admitted he hadn’t spoken with his former frontman in “quite some time.” “The last time I actually spoke with him was when [there was talk] about a possible reunion thing,” Anthony noted (as transcribed by Blabbermouth). “It’s really crazy because I hadn’t heard anything about [former Metallica bassist] Jason Newsted coming into the fold [and doing the tour]. And I got a call from Alex [Van Halen] and Dave from [manager]...
