Van Halen vocalist David Lee Roth seems to be placing a lot of faith in his band as well as his own future within it, according to a recent video he posted to YouTube.
In the video Roth talks about how he is confident that the line-up of the band that recently toured last year and also recorded 2012's A Different Kind of Truth (the band's first album with Roth since 1984's 1984) will be back at it again soon enough - with himself in the fold of course.
“It’s not like my career path is gonna be altered. I sort of know what the next 10 summers are going to bring. Eddie Van Halen aside — those are ups and downs — I don’t know when we’re going to tour but I have a sense that we will. I don’t know that we’re going to record again — when that’ll happen — but I get the sense that it’s gonna happen.”
Of course there have also been rumours of the band reuniting with former vocalist Sammy Hagar, who took Roth's place when he quit in 1985. Such rumours started when a few months back Hagar tweeted a happy birthday message to Eddie Van Halen. However, nothing of the sort in terms of a reunion have been confirmed. It seems unlikely anyway, considering the last time they tried a reunion back in 2004 things didn't go so well.
Personally, I hope that Van Halen does another album with Roth. As much as I like the Hagar stuff, when I think Van Halen I think David Lee Roth. I'd like to see what kind of new direction they could go from A Different Kind of Truth. It's been far too long since they put out a new album. This time around I'd like to hear some all new material rather than have half of it being shelved material from the 70's that they didn't feel was good enough to make the cut the first time around.
