David Lee Roth Dedicates Song To Eddie Van Halen

David Lee Roth has revealed a lofty, acoustic guitar-driven new track that he has dedicated to his longtime bandmate Eddie Van Halen.

"Somewhere Over the Rainbow Bar and Grill ..." was one of a number of previously-unreleased songs written and recorded by Roth and John 5 circa 2014, with Gregg Bissonette playing drums.

Almost a month since Van Halen's death, Roth was apparently moved to release the sentimental feeling track along with a message to his longtime collaborator and frenemy embedded in the artwork, "Hey Ed, I'm gonna miss ya'. See you on the other side ..."

The statement is the most direct one Roth has yet made to Eddie's passing.

It mirrors Alex Van Halen's own brief message to his brother and bandmate in the wake of his death.
