New Van Halen Line-Up Photo 2007-02-18 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 6 Comments | Rolling Stone have posted the first official promo shot of the new Van Halen, featuring original singer David Lee Roth and Eddie's son Wolfgang Van Halen replacing Michael Anthony on bass guitar.
Roth also gave an interview to the magazine, discussing the band's first post-reunion jam session, "Eddie and I wrote the songs, every note, every syllable, as if we invented a language that only we can speak. It was an easy, natural thing… When you speak a language that you both created, it's natural to go, 'I know you.' So it was very easy. There wasn't any stumble at all. I just showed up, and twenty minutes later, it was the usual, 'How's the wife, how's the kids, let's play.' When you're born to do that language, you speak it naturally. I never forgot it.
"The chemistry is combustible. There's an explosive sound there that is, I think, perhaps… unless you were there, which most folks weren't, than you may have forgotten. This is really sophisticated, smart stuff. Everybody's at the top of their game in terms of… it's not just intangible things. My voice is arguably better than it was when I left the band back when. I love what I do, perhaps for some different reasons now than I did, more so than I did. It's a privilege to do what I do for a living."
