I have nothing but the utmost respect for his work ethic and all that. But, Dave, you gotta work as a community, motherf&#8212;er. It\u2019s not you alone anymore,\u201d Alex Van Halen said. The magazine noted that Roth declined to comment on the matter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Ultimately, he said he feels okay about the canceled tour, and he\u2019s still in touch with Roth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cIt\u2019s too bad on one hand, but it\u2019s fine on the other,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause now, in retrospect, playing the old songs is not really paying tribute to anybody.
