'Ain't Talkin' Bout Love' - New David Lee Roth Version

Another day, another reimagined Van Halen track from David Lee Roth. This time it's "Ain't Talkin' Bout Love." The new version of the classic song was recorded in May and Roth shared it with his social media fans last night. You gotta love that raspy voice - it always makes me smile. It is kind of crazy just how good Roth's voice sounds on this new version. What do you think?

[Him]

I'd repeat my comments from the previous release post. But, well, that would be redundant.

But I will add: this plods along a bit more than the original, which is a good thing given DLR's vocals these days. It's a bad thing if you expect him to sound (or look) like he is in his 20s. And some do. But others don't.

Me? I don't. And, as a fanboy, I say that also noting that he has on more than one occasion sounded absolutely horrid in recent years. And that is when he is out live, touring, not in a controlled environment like this, where he can show that he still has the (slower) chops to do a one-off (with his hair off!!).

Still love DLR. Always will.
