    'New' VAN HALEN Lineup Subject Of 'Jimmy Kimmel' Comedy Segment

    'New' VAN HALEN Lineup Subject Of 'Jimmy Kimmel' Comedy Segment - Nov. 20, 2006
    Jimmy Kimmel joked during his "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" monologue the other night about news that Eddie Van Halen's son, 15-year-old Wolfgang Van Halen, has joined the veteran band as the replacement for longtime bassist Michael Anthony. Watch the comedy segment here.

    According to Billboard.com, father and son, along with Eddie's drummer brother Alex, have been rehearsing for a 2007 tour, but it is unknown who will serve as the band's vocalist. (Wolfgang's substitution for original bass player Michael Anthony was first reported by news web site TMZ.com.)

    Rumors continue to swirl that original singer David Lee Roth, who was replaced by Sammy Hagar in the mid-1980s, will return to the fold, despite years of enmity. Roth, who has recently worked as a radio DJ and a paramedic, told Billboard.com in May that he saw it "absolutely as an inevitability."

        vh/ wolfie

        Just to let everyone know who is doubting wolfgang's talent there was an interview with Mike during the last tour when wolfie was playing with the band in the last couple of shows of the tour, Mike said wolfie is just like Eddie on the Guitar, but better then I (Mike Anthony) on the base.


        This kid is for real he after all he has the best teacher in the world.

          I don't give a shit if he can play the bass with his ample asshole...

          he shouldn't be in the fucking band...period...

          although I have to say if he DID play with his ASSHOLE...

          it would befit his father...
          "Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."

            To somewhat echo Pojo on this...

            So what?

            Just because you can "play well" (and from his footage on the videos from 2004, he doesn't) doesn't mean you have any business being in Van Halen.

            Mike getting fired at this point in the game is bullshit, regardless of the reasons.

                    As are everyone who feels the same and has been saying the same for months now.

                    I find it hard to believe anybody can be divided over this, but I guess that's just me... :confused:
