Bassist Behind Roth’s Van Halen Revival | Rock Music News

Sean McNabb, the new bassist for David Lee Roth’s solo band, is living the dream—playing alongside the legendary Van Halen frontman he once idolized as a teen. A lifelong fan who credits Van Halen’s 1978 debut with changing his life, McNabb now gets to perform their iconic hits live, including “I’m The One” and “Beautiful Girls,” still getting goosebumps every night. With a 25-song setlist that mixes Roth’s solo material and Van Halen classics, McNabb brings decades of experience—from his time in the tribute band Brown M&Ms to stints with Lynch Mob and Quiet Riot—to the stage. He thrives on the challenge, constantly learning from old footage, and even admits the bass parts are “amazing.” Beyond music, McNabb is a multi-talented artist, actor, and philanthropist, having switched from cornet to bass after being inspired by his drummer brother. Roth, now 71, reignited his tour in April after reversing his retirement, and McNabb’s arrival marks a fresh chapter in this electrifying comeback.
