I just think they feel such ownership over me. So why play all the instruments yourself? I just wanted to see if I could do it. You already have a touring band for this project. With the Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl started out playing everything himself, but it evolved into a band.
Could that happen with you? Never say never, but I would expect to be doing the albums on my own. I enjoy getting in the trenches and just recording.
He played with practically no one but your dad, and they played together since they were kids. How is he doing? We talk every day, ever since Dad passed.
Just checking on each other. Call me if you need anything. Using the word Mammoth in your band name draws on some deep family history. Oh man, growing up, whenever my dad would tell me the story that, you know, [Van Halen was once] called Mammoth… It was a three-piece, and Dad was singing. They had a bass player, Mark Stone, who unfortunately passed about a week or two before Dad did.
He was a wonderful man. And I just thought that it was so cool that, one, Dad was singing. And two, it was an awesome band name. So growing up I was like, whenever I have my own band, I want to call it Mammoth.
Did your dad know you were going to use the name? Yeah, I was nervous, I asked for his permission. Gosh, it was around How much of an ongoing relationship do you have with David Lee Roth? Not too much. But it was very business-related. You know, we were always cool, but we really only ever saw each other on stage. Do you think you could have gotten Dave to do that? I would have loved to see it happen. You talked about Michael Anthony being part of that tour, too. That means you you were personally ready to sort of retire from that band a while ago.
Playing with my father was the best thing I ever did. The former lead singer of rock band Van Halen , 66, revealed the news in a Las Vegas Review-Journal article Friday, saying he is "throwing in the shoes" and stepping back from his prolific music career. Share it with the world. Roth added he is "not going to explain the statement" and that his five upcoming shows at House of Blues Las Vegas will be his last. Though Roth did not provide the reason for his retirement, his sudden announcement comes almost a year after Van Halen co-founder and guitarist Eddie Van Halen died from cancer at age But though Roth says his retirement is imminent, he still plans to bring his A-game to his final performances.
Through all your challenging treatments for lung cancer, you kept your gorgeous spirit and that impish grin. I will see you in our next life my love. Wolfgang commented on her post, "Love you, Ma. Heartbroken and speechless. My love to the family.

Keith Urban reflected on Van Halen's legacy in a lengthy tribute on Instagram. Eddie Van Halen was this and so much more. Urban added that Van Halen had "extraordinary touch, tone, and a rhythmic pocket and bounce that floated like Ali in the ring.
There are lots of great guitar players in the world, but very VERY few true innovators. Players who seem to have arrived from a far distant planet , and who bring a completely new color to the rainbow. Even without the finger tapping, you had a player with extraordinary touch, tone, and a rhythmic pocket and bounce that floated like Ali in the ring. He was a master of complex solos that spoke to non musicians The reason was the exquisite melody in his heart, and the joy in his soul of playing FOR people - and it came through like a ray of sun we ALL felt.
I say a prayer today for his family and friends. Harris added: "With blistering speed, control, and melodic feel, he perfected the art of shredding, unleashing two-handed finger tapping, dramatic whammy-bar moves, and other astonishing never-before-seen techniques. His band Van Halen kicked the American hard rock scene into high gear in the late Seventies, became rock heroes on MTV in the Eighties, and gave rise to a steady stream of shredders and trailblazers ever since.
Darren Criss wrote that Van Halen "was immortal even while he was alive. To have a sound not only uniquely signature to the artist, but of an entire era.
Tommy Lee shared four photos of Van Halen on Instagram , writing that he has "no words. Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton tweeted that he couldn't believe the news. Comedian Dane Cook remembered how he and his late mother would bond over Van Halen's music. Another lifetime of memories ahead of them should have been made. This hurts my heart.
