David Lee Roth has blown more than a few longtime fans' minds with the unannounced drop of his tribute to Van Halen, called "Nothing Could Have Stopped Us Back Then Anyway." The acoustic-based track popped up on his official YouTube site sporting a photo of the band circa 1979 jumping while on tour.
The track finds a clearly nostalgic Roth sifting through memories and touching on the band's early days and their unprecedented ride at the turn of the 1970's. "Nothing Could Have Stopped Us Then Anyway" stems from 2007 sessions with guitarist John 5 and Roth's original solo band drummer Gregg Bissonette for a project that never materialized.
