Van Halen 2006–present
 David Lee Roth got in touch with Eddie over the phone to discuss what tracks would be included on the compilation Van Halen had been working on (this was before Hagar's actual departure), which in theory it was still going to be made after Hagar's departure. They got along well, and Eddie invited him up to see him. Shortly afterwards, David Lee Roth re-entered the studio with the Van Halen brothers, Michael Anthony, and producer Glen Ballard. Two songs from those sessions were added to the band's Greatest Hits album and released as singles to help promote it.
David Lee Roth with Van Halen at the MTV Video Music Awards 1996By September, Roth and the rest of the band were asked to present an award at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards. On September 4, 1996, the four original members of Van Halen made their first public appearance together as Van Halen in over eleven years, presenting an award at the MTV Video Music Awards. This helped to bring the compilation to #1 on the US album charts. However, unknown to Roth, Eddie and Alex were still auditioning other singers.
