I'd tend to think Wolfgang had been jamming with his father and his uncle since the 2004 Van Hagar reunion tour concluded, which is well before the 2006 scenario described in the article.
As to Wolfgang being the motivating force behind getting Roth back into the band in late 2006, that I can believe, in that I tend to think that is what happened. Mostly because of the timing of Wolfgang officially being named Mike Anthony's replacement in 2006 and Roth rejoining shortly after.
All that being said, it wasn't quite as stunning to read how quickly Wolfgang picked up on learning the bass parts to the CVH catalog: not a slam against Michael Anthony, but from a technical standpoint, the vast bulk of CVH's bass stuff isn't all that hard to play. In addition, Wolfgang had been playing guitar for several years already, and it isn't difficult to switch off from playing guitar to playing bass. In the teenaged garage bands I was in, it was invariably the person who was the least capable on guitar who got relegated to playing the bass.Scramby eggs and bacon. -
I think you sussed it out Terry. Not first time Jr played with VH bros. just officially.
Curious about reviews for Eruption in the Canyon book by Andrew Bennett. He was video guy that VH (Edward) put kibosh on releasing so I guess 1st person account is next best thing. Sounds like most footage is from down time at Howdy Doody Mtn."Nothing gets a yak over a suspension bridge faster than 'Back in the Saddle Again' by Aerosmith" ~ DLRComment

Allegedly the author, Andrew Bennett filmed and photographed this early Wolfgang adventure... this would have been during the tail-end of Ed's Smoking Loon™ era. Not a pretty time if I recall.
It might be interesting to see the film from this... or a fucking train wreck..."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

And after the aborted 2001 CVH reunion attempt, I'd tend to doubt Mike was hanging out with the brothers much, since he was hanging around with Hagar and playing a few tunes during Hagar's set on the HeavyWeights Of Rock/Sam and Dave tour in 2002, which one can surmise went up the brother's asses sideways.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment
