Steve Vai has burst some fans’ bubbles when revealing that a reunion from David Lee Roth‘s Eat ’Em and Smile isn’t likely. 

Steve explained on Dean Delray‘s Let There Be Talk podcast, “There comes a time where you feel the train has left the station.”

He also said of David Lee Roth, “There was a period of time where we talked about it and we considered it. But then Van Halen was back. So Dave was out doing that. I heard Dave retired. And I’m so ensconced in my solo career, all the stuff I’m doing. So you never know, but it doesn’t seem likely.”
