David Lee Roth era musician reflections and projects

Overview

Musicians associated with David Lee Roth’s solo career have shared reflections on their past collaborations and are planning new projects related to that era.

Guitarist Jason Becker noted the personal challenges faced during the recording of the 1991 album ‘A Little Ain’t Enough’, specifically regarding his ALS diagnosis and subsequent inability to tour. Additionally, bassist Billy Sheehan reflected on the shifting collaborative dynamics during the ‘Skyscraper’ era, noting a move toward a more segmented recording process compared to earlier sessions.

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the 1986 album ‘Eat ’Em and Smile’, Sheehan announced plans to release a new musical project. This release will include unrecorded or nearly completed tracks from those original sessions, as well as re-recordings, featuring collaborations with musicians such as Korn’s Ray Luzier.
