Rock Hall Vs Roth Pt II

(KNAC) David Lee Roth is sticking to his statement that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame told him he was not allowed to perform at the ceremony to induct Van Halen into the hall. But Joel Peresman, the Hall's president and CEO, said in a Saturday e-mail to The Los Angeles Times that Roth is telling only part of the story.

According to the Times, the Roth camp says that the only offer they had received before Friday was an invitation to perform "You Really Got Me" with Velvet Revolver. Roth balked in part because that song, off Van Halen's first album, was originally recorded by the Kinks and is not a "true" Van Halen song.

Roth wanted to sing "Jump," but with rehearsal time limitations, and other logistics, it was not possible.[by no means should you accomodate the star being inducted. see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
