Has David Lee Roth ever heard Jimmy's "Were Back!" spoof Van Halen song?
7 2014-04-12 by glaubs
For anyone who doesn't know, in about 2007 (?) Van Halen announced a comeback tour, and Jimmy (with the help of a caller) pieced together this, which is essentially Jimmy's mock Van Halen comeback single titled "We're Back! (And Better Than Ever)." They have remarked about how DLR would react to hearing it, and I know he's been on the show after this. I'm wondering if DLR has ever been played the "song" on the show? If so, clip?

I dont know if he has but I hope he's never on the O&A show again

I know DLR would not cut promos for the show because "he does not make light of his music" according to Sam Roberts.

He's a cunt then, because his music sucks, and this is coming from a guy who enjoyed his appearances.

Like I said last time ths came up, Van Halen's actual "We're back!" song "Blood and Fire" has lyrics that are much cringe-ier than Jimmy's make-em up so I don't know what he'd have to say on the subject.
This is coming from a lifetime VH fan.

I'm going to have to get Cumia-style drunk for that. By which I mean having a pistol handy.

They briefly played it to him when he sat in for the majority of the show a while ago. Unfortunately Jim wasn't in to hear it, but DLR was less than impressed. I'm on mobile so can't queue it up but it starts like 97mins in.
