David Lee Roth ended 2022 with the release of yet another re-recorded Van Halen song and two new episodes of his Roth Show podcast.
Diamond Dave posted his re-do of "Everybody Wants Some," which he recorded last May 3rd at Henson Recording Studio in Hollywood, California. Roth recorded 14 songs in two hours. The music and the vocals were tracked live with "no samples" and without the use of Autotune.
In episode one of his ‘Roth Show” podcast, Dave reminisced about about the late Eddie Van Halen.
He said, “With my dear departed Ed, boy, I miss him. I had a ball with Ed. I gotta tell ya: playing with Ed, writing songs with Ed, presenting those songs with Ed was better than any love affair I ever had. And some of those songs, I think, might last forever – or until the last syllable of time, like Shakespeare said. They became anthems.”
Roth also recalled one of those big songs, their only number-one, "Jump."
He said, "I remember when he played it on the keyboard downstairs. I said, 'No!' [Laughs] Well, we reflect the times, and the times at that time was guitars, guitars, guitars; and 'Jump' was one of those hybrids. Is it a what or is it a huh? It’s like the first time Volkswagen shows up. Is it cool? Today nothing could possibly be more cool than that lowered ’66 VW Bug out in my garage right now.”
