Wolfgang Van Halen has revealed that Van Halen scrapped a song they were working on for their 2012 album A Different Kind Of Truth after David Lee Roth refused to sing on it.

In a brand new interview in the latest issue of Classic Rock, the Mammoth WVH frontman looks back on his time with his dad Eddie Van Halen’s band from 2007 to 2015 – a period he calls “a crash course in collaboration”.
