EVH quotes RS - 4-06-95

[Cool Hand]

RS - In recent years, Roth has gone on Howard Stern a few times and talked about Van Halen. The way he tells it, he brought soul to a very white band.

EVH - If the blues and Cream and Led Zeppelin are white, then, yeah, I was very white. But I love the blues, and that's not white to me. He did try to get us to do covers like "Cold Sweat" and we'd do "Get Down Tonight" by KC and the Sunshine Band - ridiculous stuff for us. He loved disco. Probably still does.

RS - What would you say he brought to the party??

EVH - Shaking his ass. He was like an emcee, a clown.

RS - Can you imagine ever doing anything with Roth?

EVH - It's like a divorce. It's over and done with. But anyone who thinks he's ever going to come back is ridiculous.

This interview was done while Ed was at one of his most grounded points in his life....musically, and he was trying really hard to get sober. I wonder if Ed's sentiments will change back to this after coming out of rehab.
