Happy Birthday Wolfgang...

[ZahZoo]

Looks like the kid and his dad have been out and about...

2 parts AIC, 2 parts PJ, and 2 parts VH. #tbt

[CVH Rulz]

I think that's from the last tour. I remember seeing it a long time ago. Don't know why Wolf dug that out and put it up on twitter.

[78/84 guy]

Yep. It's older.

[ZahZoo]

So's the kid...

[ELVIS]

Fatter too...

[DONNIEP]

Fatter too...

That's the new face of Van Halen. A chubby 20something. Yay future.

[Nitro Express]

I often wonder if that's the real Ed or it it's a clone grown in a lab just outside of Havana Cuba.

[diamondclaudio]

You kid better record a new VH album and then go tour with your kids and let the real VAN HALEN make a big full blast farewell tour!!!

Happy Birthday.....Now grow some hair and get your own band.

[DONNIEP]

Why start a new band when he can continue to destroy the greatest band of all time?? And nobody better bring up his magic ear buds that resurrected Eddie. That's a load of shit and if you believe it then you're all nuttier than I am, lol.

[ZahZoo]

There are a few nuttier than you and a squirrel turd combined around here...

Quit being a grumpy old fart about the kid... He got the Dutch Pricks™ off the couch and invented the portable dance floor so Uncle Dave could Dance The Night Away...

Stay Frosty...

Oh god, no, no more websites lol.

[Nitro Express]

Start another one. I still have plenty of filth to decorate it with.

[TFM_Dale]

Just start a fucking Miley site (literally) and get it over with.

[DONNIEP]

Nah, she's disappointed me. She's nothing more than a doped up whore these days.

[TFM_Dale]

She has transformed into Courtney love.

[DONNIEP]

Yeah, pretty much.

[binnie]

Happy Birthday, Wolfie.

Stay away from the cake though, huh kid?

[ZahZoo]

You are truly gifted in this area...

[ZahZoo]

Nah, she's disappointed me. She's nothing more than a doped up whore these days.

Plus she lost her tour bus the other night...

[Nitro Express]

Is Miley burning up inside it?

[FORD]

Sadly, neither she nor her father were aboard the bus when it went up in flames

[ashstralia]

What the?
He seems like a fine young fella. He can't help who his parents are any more than any of us.

I thank him for turning a seemingly distant impossible dream into a different kind of truth.

Happy birthday Wolf! See ya's in 2016

[Zing!]

Agree. It's some kind of miracle that Ed had a normal, well-adjusted, and responsible young man for a son. I don't really get the hate (especially after ADKOT) but whatever. Hope he had a great birthday!

Some people only find happiness in belittling others...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Those people would be the same ones bitching and moaning if Wolf HADN'T recommended getting DLR back, inevitably resulting in Bette's return....

I don't think that's really the case... there are some folks that prefer the sound, look and general vibe of Van Halen's music with Mike on bass in the rhythm section and backing vocals. That was a definitive standard for over 30 years in the band. Quite frankly... it was one of the few things that didn't need fixing or alteration.

While many have complained that Mike's bass playing was overly simplistic... I don't share that opinion. His playing was so well integrated with Al's drumming it provided a superior platform to showcase Ed's guitar work and Dave's unique vocal melodies.

This is an area where Wolfgang is clearly lacking... both due to lack of experience and poor melodic rhythm. While some say he's a more technical bass player... honestly I find his wanking around and unnecessary fills and fretboard slides muddy up the rhythm portion of many VH classics. That's bullshit immature show-boating not showmanship!! Also his over distorted bass amplification in the live environment... pretty much sucks and sounds terrible. He should leave the fancy shit to his father and concentrate on providing a clean, solid foundation in the rhythm section.

If you consider this belittling... so be it.
