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

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

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

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.

Damn. Is Ed drinking again? I see a beer bottle next to his chair.

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.

Cranky bunch of middle-aged folks...

Clearly the boomers are far more laid back on this episode.

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.
