David Lee Roth

Guitarist recalls artistic, spiritual and physical reasons for rejecting singer's approach — and reveals the next Billy Idol album will be a return to roots.

Thirty-eight years before the indie rock star rerecorded her album in Spanish, Roth tried the same trick ... and it didn’t work out for him.

Alex Van Halen says singer’s out-of-control jealousy led to his departure from the band in 1985.

Drummer describes end of the original lineup as the most disappointing moment of his life – until Eddie’s death.

"Dave, you gotta work as a community, motherf---er," drummer says.

After initially expressing interest in the Best of All Worlds tour, Diamond Dave reportedly went silent.

A turbulent decade found the band recording with three different singers.

Michael Anthony admits he suspected revenge motives in singer’s “great musicianship.”

Former Van Halen frontman has kept active in recent months by releasing songs, dance videos and spoken-word musings.

Guitarist nearly came off the road for good after grueling lifestyle but David Lee Roth experience changed his mind.
