Velvet Revolver sabotaged David Lee Roth's moment
March 24, 2007 10:29 PM Filed in: 2007 Ceremony

Backstage at the 2007 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, Scott Weiland of Velvet Revolver attempted to explain the reason why David Lee Roth wasn't there:

"We were asked to perform. Kinda what happened was, [David Lee Roth] wanted to sing the song 'Jump.' We felt from an artistic standpoint, and I'm being totally honest with you, that it wasn't a song we felt comfortable with. We don't have keyboards. To bring a keyboard on stage wouldn't work for us. We said we'd do 'Janie's Cryin' ' or 'You Really Got Me,' and he was adamant that wasn't OK."

Weiland, how about you pick the songs you want to play when you get inducted into the Hall?

I love Dave in VH, but his solo stuff isn't good nor commercially successful enough to get him in. Glad he's in with VH though.

David Lee Roth was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame with Van Halen. However, outside of Van Halen he only had two hits which were his versions of "California Girls" and "Just A Gigolo."
