Eddie invited Patty Smyth of Scandal to replace Roth but she refused. Eddie was then introduced by way of a mutual auto mechanic to Sammy Hagar, formerly of 1970s band Montrose, and at that time a solo artist coming off a very successful year (his 1984 album VOA had yielded the hit single "I Can't Drive 55'"). Hagar agreed to join, also serving as a rhythm guitar onstage to add to the Van Halen sound. The 1986 Van Halen album 5150 was a hit, becoming the band's first #1 album on the Billboard charts.
Close, but:
Although Eddie did want Smythe for the Roth replacement, she was never offered the job. Alex and Valerie forbid the offer from happening. Hagar and Ed had similar Lambos, and were indeed introduced through their mechanic, Claudio.
