Wolfgang van halen says sammy hagar era "doesn't get any respect"

[Terry]

LOL yes.

Wolf is an idiot. Why he chooses to engage in social media spats I don't get.

Its so easy to get this fat fuck riled up.

What was that quote I read re: his social media spats...?

Oh, yeah. Wolfgang fights with fans like if they were a salad.

He can't stop himself and its pathetic watching him constantly get wind up over one post. Maybe he should like you know step back?

The new song isn't the worst thing I've ever heard...but it is SO fucking generic and the melodies/vocals are so unmemorable. I can't imagine giving this another listen for any reason. It's generic rock music that pushes NO envelope. It's a bunch of old rock 'n' roll tricks tried again, wrapped up in one neat, shit-sandwich package. I can't believe this is the son of the guy who wrote the music for LIGHT UP THE SKY.

I guess that F A T Wolf Boy Man Child signed a multi-million dollar deal with Bertelsmann Music Group and this is there way of promoting it some 6 months before initial release with a tour. That makes no sense to me. Seems they gave the F A T Boy Man Child free reign over the the arrangements. As far as production goes BMG hired Michael Baskette who was genius behind Limp Bizkit, Alter Bridge and Sevendust which explains the genericism in the sound. You'd think with the money the F A T Wolf Boy Man Child has he could have hired a better producer and had him record with a proper band presumably the one he goes out on the road with seeing the F A T Wolf Boy Man Child is no Stevie Wonder or Todd Rundgren when it comes to originality in songwriting.

If the rest of Mammoth II is anything like what I've heard so far, chances are good it will be a commercial flop and the F A T Wolf Man Boy Child will be in debt to BMG creditors and this will be the last anyone hears from him unless of course, Dave "Yellow Teeth" Ghorl has any more interest in exploiting him.

Keep in mind that the Kid™ only got half of his chromosomes from his dad and that DNA most likely only produces stellar creative music when fueled by alcohol and other adulterants...

On a serious note though... Wolf didn't have life experiences his dad did that fueled his drive and obsession when it came to playing music. You hunt far more aggressively when you're hungry...

[Von Halen]

Maybe he should like you know step back?

From the buffet?

This fucking idiot is so delusional, he thinks his last name has NOTHING to do with the play he's getting, and getting to play on the tours he's on.

[Terry]

Or just not engage with the negative comments...but as you say, seemingly he just can't.

[Kristy]

Trent Reznor wannabe or what?

[Von Halen]

Or just not engage with the negative comments...but as you say, seemingly he just can't.

He can't, because deep down he knows he is being hit with the truth. He's trying to convince himself, not the negative commentors.

I'd imagine if you'd never had to struggle for anything, it'd be difficult to conjure up that inner fire re: drive, obsession, aggressive.

[Terry]

That's the essence of it. Deep down, he knows he is where he is solely because of who his father was.

I suppose to be fair his solo music - for whatever else it is - isn't trying to be a slavish copy of Van Halen.

I could see where fans of the Hagar lineup of Van Halen would like Mammoth's music.

Like Bertt. I'm sure he's over at the Links slobbering all over Wolfgangs cock. Banning anyone that dare utter a negative comment.

Reality doesn't seem to suit Clichegar, Bertt or Wolfgang.

Agreed. Hagarites probably love Wolf's music.

That guy is such a fucking tool.

[Seshmeister]

At his age his dad's best days were behind him already and he was writing the music for OU812...

Maybe he should search Bertt or Brent here next time

[Mushroom]

I find Wolfie's videos somewhat entertaining.

It's funny reading this stuff, but... you guys sound like a bunch of resentful boomers

except for my bitter girlfriend Kristy who knows Wolfie's talents do not stack up against my talents

[twonabomber]

WVH's music is obviously influenced by what he listened to when he was younger. Most of us don't like that stuff, so no surprise that we are underwhelmed.

title: Put 'Em Down

[MasonL]

I listened to about 2 minutes of Golden Boy's new song and didn't have the will to hear the rest. Which says more about the creator than it does me. First off, the bass does NOTHING remotely interesting on any of his music (at least the stuff I've heard) and all I heard about was that he was supposedly a better bassist than Anthony for all those years. Not true. And secondly, if he is so ashamed of being a Van Halen, he's got a long way to go. Any of his music is really seen as VH-adjacent. I'm betting the vast majority of his sales come from existing VH fans.

The Classic VH music came from somewhere. It came from the sparks between the band members, and from traveling constantly and their adventures and hijinks. Wolf's music comes from the inside of a studio and a cheeseburger. And the music sounds like it. Nothing that grabs you. Mediocre at best.

What I think of when I see Wolf

[Nitro Express]

Eddie Van Halen was so cool. How did that fat lame ass come from his loins? Maybe Val slept with a dude from the Weight Watchers group.

I guess the only way I make sense of it is I remember all the times that Eddie wasn't cool (MTV Awards '96, in fact let's just say 1985-1996) and try and just imagine that Wolfie inherited the asshole, lame part of Eddie Van Halen (definitely not the genius guitar-player part).

Meh.

Far as entitled children of famous celebrities go, Ed's kid doesn't come off to me as particularly egregious re: nepo babies. Acts entitled to be sure, but I've run into more than a few people who are neither wealthy nor children of famous people and - for whatever reason - act just as entitled.

Yeah, he has a weight problem, but considering his father's struggles with drugs and alcohol a couple (hundred) extra pounds seems slight far as problems go...he could lose the weight if he wanted to (although he has appeared to get more and more bloated with each passing year over the last decade and a half).

Which isn't to say musically I think [Ed's kid] is notably talented, because I don't.

Thing is if Wolf continues his obesity ways he won't last as long as his Dad (65).

He would be lucky to get to 55.

[Terry]

Well, the thing about it is I plain don't need Ed's kid to explain to me how I should feel about Van Halen (that I should appreciate all eras of Van Halen or whatever), because I've never needed anybody to explain to me how I should feel about Van Halen. Or any other type of music I enjoy. I've never needed anybody who was actually IN Van Halen to tell me what or how I should feel about Van Halen: that was true concerning the CVH lineup and it's certainly true concerning Ed's kid who (to be frank about it) got his spot in the band because he was Ed's kid and was in the band at the tail-end of the career which basically was a few nostalgia tours. Ed's kid wasn't even alive when the band mattered to me most, so what is Ed's kid (despite having been in the band) gonna tell me about Van Halen that I didn't know already? Outside of backstage/behind the scenes anecdotes circa 2006-2019, nothing, really.

[twonabomber]

WVH has his Top of the Pack show on Sirius Classic Rewind. Valerie Bertinelli was his guest, a Mother's Day themed show. They played Blood And Fire. Val mentioned that she had been listening to that song forever, without vocals, and said "sorry, Van Halen fans, I prefer it without vocals" and then said that the VH fans didn't like her. Wolfgang says something to the effect of "I get it." The kid did mention that it was originally called Ripley and described the guitar.

They played In A Simple Rhyme earlier in the show.

https://blabbermouth.net/news/wolfga...ribute-concert

In a brand new interview with Barbara Caserta of Linea Rock, the son of Eddie Van Halen, who played three VAN HALEN songs over the course of two Taylor Hawkins tribute concerts in September alongside FOO FIGHTERS members Dave Grohl on bass, Josh Freese on drums and THE DARKNESS's Justin Hawkins on vocals, was asked if he thinks an Eddie Van Halen tribute concert will ever become a reality.

He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "No, no, no. I think with the FOO FIGHTERS, they have a lot less drama involved in their camp. And unfortunately, with VAN HALEN there's many pieces that don't operate as they should, unfortunately. But that's neither here nor there; it's just how reality is, unfortunately, sometimes."

[ZahZoo]

Not exactly many pieces... one who calls the shots. Alex.

One who may or may not be capable and doesn't tend to work well with others... Dave.

One who hates VH fans and would rather we all fuck off... Wolfgang.

Three who'd happily do it if asked... Mike, Gary and Spammy.

[Nitro Express]

The lucky one is Ed. He escaped the insanity. He’s probably up there watching all these dumbasses and laughing his ass off.

[Nitro Express]

I think the coolest Ed Van Halen story I heard was from Dave Friedman. He was working for a carting company and 5150 had rented a bunch of different guitar speaker cabs. Dave drives the truck full of cabs up to 5150. Outside of the studio Ed is shooting baskets. Ed goes hey you need some help and starts helping loading the speakers into the studio. There were plenty of people there Ed could have told to give Dave some help but Ed wasn’t above doing some heavy lifting himself.

I was never really partial to the idea of a tribute show anyway but thought if one were to be done it should be a thing where some of the bigger name guitarists did a few tunes and that Dave, Alex, Michael, Sammy, Charone and Wolfgang could (or should) all be involved. I personally didn't want to see Roth and Alex playing Van Halen tunes with Satriani and Jason Newsted in a touring scenario, even if it was one-off tribute touring scenario: do the one-off tribute as a one-off gig if it's to happen at all. Granted, this was talking a year or so after Ed's passing.

Now? Got zero interest in any tribute, myself.

[Nitro Express]

The real tribute is people’s memories of the guy. I like a good Ed story. I saw the 84 Tour in Boise and was right up front on the barricade. Ed plopped down on the edge of the stage during his guitar solo right in front of me. That was pretty cool to see him shred that close.

Agreed... a single one-off would have been interesting and allowed many to celebrate Ed's accomplishments musically. No tour needed.

Yeah, the ship sailed a year or more ago... no interest now. They missed the opportunity... as usual...

[Nitro Express]

If there was no Eddie Van Halen would people even care about Roth? If there was no Roth would Eddie Van Halen even had gotten out of Pasadena? Van Halen was those two guys working together and when ego and substance abuse broke the band up that was the end. Van Halen died in 1985.

Roth’s ego got sprung out with the success of some solo songs and videos. Ed’s ego got sprung when he discovered he could still sell albums and draw crowds of dipshits with Sammy.

Sammy is pissed nobody gives a shit about him and without Ed Van Halen he’s a lame cruise ship and casino act. Dave has the legacy and will continue to have it no matter how much he tries to destroy it by acting like a goon on You Tube.
