Did you know that former Van Halen singer David Lee Roth helped Eddie Van Halen put tape strips on the guitarist’s unmistakable "Frankenstrat", forming the iconic stripe design?

This is what Rose shared in a recent audio. He said that he was responding to some Van Halen fans who pointed out the obvious similarities between Frankenstrat’s theme and Rose’s painting "The Big Wave." . The singer showed the painting on social media for the first time last week.

Listen to Rose's explanation at the bottom of this article.

In the video on December 3, the title was "Separated at Birth?" The singer said: "We received a lot of cards and letters-so to speak digitally-about my work and the stripes on Eddie's guitar. Similarities. That’s because this is my work."

Rose continued, "[Former Van Halen drummer] Alex Van Halen and I often talk on the phone now, laughing like pirates. Not long ago we were laughing on the phone-Alex was there-when When I walked in with three rolls, a roll of gray tape, a roll of black, not very sticky, the fucking things always fall off the electrician’s tape, and a roll of blue RTape, just like we used Same as pinstripe."

Setting the creation date of the design as "Mid 70s, 75 to 76", Roth claimed that he "used Ed [using] an extended linear mode, because the white ordinary guitar is creepy, creepy and reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix ...We put it down, and—click—in about four minutes, I laid it out, including the little wavy line. It was tape, non-sticky, shiny black electrician Adhesive tape, designed to quickly attach and remove."

However, according to reports from Guitar World, EVH biographer Chris Gill publicly opposed Ross's recollection, calling it a "revisionist fabrication" with "critical factual errors."

Jill refuted Rose's timetable, saying that Frankenstrat did not appear until 1977. According to reports, the 61-year-old Fender Stratocaster owned by the guitarist was painted white in January 1977, but according to the author, "it was quickly taken apart", "its neck, in February 1977, the unfinished Fran The serial number plate and tremolo tailboard bridge appeared on Kenstein's body."

But Rose seemed to admit in his speech that his memories may not be notes. "This is not a science class," Ross relayed. "This is my memory."

In October, Rose announced that he would retire after the end of the Las Vegas personal residency program in January 2022. Some fans later speculated that the singer had actually predicted his retirement 30 years ago and is now opening the door for a final return.

Last month, Van Halen singer alumni Sammy Hagar said that he and Roth are not related by blood. Last week, Wolfgang Van Halen, another former Van Halen member and son of the late Van Halen guitarist Eddie, stated that Roth will always be "one of the best."

After Wolf replaced bassist Michael Anthony in Van Halen in 2006, he played with his father, his uncles Alex and Roth in Van Halen until Eddie's death last year; Van Halen then quietly disbanded. Wolf released his first album under the name Mammoth WVH in June. He used FrankenStrat to record some parts on the record.
