Patty Smyth was invited by her friend Eddie Van Halen to join the band Van Halen to replace David Lee Roth as lead singer. However, she declined the offer, because she was eight months pregnant and "It was just not the right time for me," she says now. "I was a New Yorker, I didn't want to live in L.A. ... and those guys were drunk and fighting all the time."

The sound of her voice would have been ok with mid to late 80's Van Halen. Listen to her sound from the song "The Warrior" and it fits with that era of Van Halen.

What I find funny is that she turned down the job because of the band's fighting yet she would later marry John McEnroe.

Ooo she's got that rasp, I don't know how it would have worked out but that would have been a good gamble imo

Man, I'm so sad now. No offense to any Sammy Hagar fans. But this would have been a much more interesting choice.

Certain parts of this video are extra creepy after you find out the keyboardist died in some unnamed accident. Like the part where they freeze frame on his face and fade out while Patty sings "goodbye to you." Yikes.

Great vocalist, but it would've been a little odd, haha.

It could have worked. A lot of these classic rock bands has singers with high pitched voices. A woman could have filled in.

It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."
