Yeah, I’m a bit curious about that tale. I recall Val being upset that Ed was alone in the house. I wonder if Janie bounced?
Regardless, that was a shit thing to do, writing all of that. I can’t imagine hoody boy being thrilled with his Mom’s actions there.Comment

If people liked Wolfgang's Mammoth stuff, they'd download it regardless of whatever CVH stuff was out there.
It's not like those who had an interest in whatever Wolfgang was doing would have to make a choice between a new Mammoth album or, say, a CVH Vault release.
Wolfgang just wants whatever pity sales for Mammoth he can get from the tons of Eddie Van Halen fans out there.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I would like to think that the fat fuck was all outraged by his mom's book...but I bet he's not crazy about his "stepmom" anyway. Maybe he encouraged her to write all that.
I NEVER have respect for people who (at some point) achieve fame of some sort and then write a "tell-all" book, throwing tons of people under the bus.
Wolfgang & Valerie got all angry when Matthew Perry recounted in his own memoir that he was once at a Hollywood party in the 90s and ended up making out with Valerie Bertinelli (while she was still very much married to Eddie). They were so offended. But it's not like chubby mom is above such sort of "tell-all" behavior.Roth Army Militia

This kid's life-experience amounts to hanging out with his father, being grossly overweight, getting ANYTHING he wants, touring with a band which was already hugely famous (and whose popularity had nothing to do with him personally) and getting take-out food every day.
This isn't exactly a formula for deep life insight.Roth Army Militia

Anyways. That’s how things roll on Howdy Doody Mountain. Adam West once told me never marry an actress. Ha! Ha!No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Sorry Val. You got out done by a porn industry publicist. I doubt she blindsided Ed like you admitted to doing. Also you saw all his problems before you married him. You don’t marry a rock star and then act surprised he has an addiction problem.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Anyways Wolfgang grew up on a fruit farm. What can you expect?No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I think he has everything to do with the vaults being closed based on what he said last year. Something to the effect of finding it distasteful when family members of a famous musician release things posthumously. Fucking why? I see nothing distasteful about it, in fact, it is a legitimate way to honor the work they’ve done! I’m not holding out for a finished follow up to 1984. I’m more interested in his pieces of music that meant something to him that he felt compelled to get on tape, otherwise, he wouldn’t have recorded them!Comment

Well if I couldn’t find my dick inside of layers of fat folds I would be a little pissed and insane too.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I realize this is a ‘three sides to every story’ thing, but Ed tells Steve Rosen in Tonechaser that he left Val.Comment

There was a huge curiosity factor with Wolfgang. I don’t like the band logo which was Patrick Bertinelli’s idea but the album art is cool which Wolfgang chose and having different colored LP’s is cool. The marketing is ok. The show is ok. Nothing magical. Nothing that blows your mind. It just ain’t there. I mean what kind of poetry is a sheltered rich kid going to write? The kid grew up in a comfortable prison.
Nothing special jumped out when I gave the album tracks a listen via the postings here circa late 2020 (I don't even know if I've subsequently listened to Mammoth's second album...if I did I have no memory of it). And I listened to that stuff well in advance of Wolfgang's Twitter bitching barrage that I began reading about in late 2021, so it wasn't a case of already having had an agenda of thinking the kid was a dick or whatever before hearing the Mammoth stuff. Even if I had already thought the kid was a dick, if I thought the tracks were good I wouldn't have cared about the personality behind them.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

Maybe I am misremembering, but I recall a longer version of this press conference - it wasn't packaged up like this clip, edited with the intro etc - and at one point Tyler was getting exasperated with Dave's quips, pulling faces, etc, and he said "I'll have whatever that guy is on". That was a hoot.THINK LIKE THE WAVESComment
