Oh hell yea but I'm not surprised one bit, when the say there's no one like Dave that's true he has always been one to push other buttons ever since VAN HALEN began. I'll admit he's a hell of a singer in the studio but when it comes to live he wants the focus on him no matter what and although Wolfie didn't have quite the vocals that Michael Anthony does his musical showmanship proved once and for all that he's making his own footsteps on the music scene by having style and sound all his own.
Anybody else think this was going to be an interview with Roth commenting on Wolfgang, rather than a narrator reading a script from a card and showing still shots from various events and album covers?
It's a real crappy way to get you to click on it,very misleading,happens all the time,he is just putting together information that's already out there. But making it seem new.
Oh, he has recently...where he calls him a fat nepo baby....blamed Wolf for trying to sabotage the bands concerts by banning certain people that were Dave's friends. He pretty whined for 30 minutes on his podcast
Mike A ...he sucked on bass his bass solo was smoking a cig and pounding Jack Daniels and throwing his bass on the floor, plou Ed probably knew he was dying and wanted to be with his son...
@@perfectlygoodslouch5212 The bummer is that they sucked live with Wolfgang. His bass was insanely better, but without the backup vocals from Michael, it sounded shite
Honestly, for someone like Wolfgang Van Halen whose Father is Legendary in music, he has proven himself 10 times over and created his path. This guy is decent and NOT a pompous spoiled prick which speaks volumes of what STUPENDOUS parents he has. God Bless Wolf. Continue to make your Mother and Father proud. I'm sure his Uncle Alex is ALWAYS there for him as well.
I was lucky enough to see Van Halen twice with the original lineup in 82 on the Diver Down Tour and again in 84 on the 1984 tour. They were smokin’ back then! Also saw them with Sammy 3 more times. I enjoyed both versions of the band but seeing the original lineup with DLR , Eddie,Alex, and Michael Anthony is something i’m grateful for and will never forget!!

@@FactsVerse Everything pre 1984 But what stands out the most is 1978 I was just a 10 year old kid. My babysitter asked if I had heard this new band called Van Halen… She put in the cassette and that train started coming at me… then the bass, then the lil piano keys, followed by the most rocking song I’d ever heard before. I was like “what is this?” As I was instantly hooked. Fantastic album. 1984 was the beginning of the end. Worlds best guitarist wanted to play keyboards. VH went from this great rock band that heads loved… to all of a sudden 13 year old girls were asking their dads to buy 1984 for them. A lot of bands sold out in 83-84. A very large number of once great Rock bands were now catering their music to 13 year old girls and that was the new bar for being “popular” This many years later I see 1984 as the last of the best VH albums. Back then I saw it as the 1st of the worst. It was already the beginning of the end. Sammy was better before VH (Montrose was great. Standing Hampton was awesome) VH was better before Sammy. It’s odd. I was a HUGE VH fan as well as a Huge Sammy fan. But what they did together was such sellout crap that fit in with all the other sellout music from that era. The only other time I felt like I did when I heard VH’s first album was hearing GNR’s first album. I don’t put GNR up there with early VH for me, but it was close at the time. Just when music needed saving, appetite for destruction was right on time.
Well w.? all the friggin controversy this Band edured and Still ongoing Infinetem .I could care less. Here's something tho : All the ideas and styles and songs Dave suggested catapulted them into makin Millions I'm done and they should be.He had every right to leave .
Ever hear of Jimi Hendrix ...Machine Gun 1979 Interview Edward said he liked Clapton not Hendrix for he was too Flashy Irony you hate who is better and you Feared
@@CP-kb1du sure have and he was also an amazing guitarist. I also think Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton are amazing too. I'm entitled to my opinion, as are you. 😊
I grew up with Eddie on Holliston Ave. in Pasadena back in the early 1970s. David Lee Roth used to date my sister’s best friend, who lived across the street from the Van Halen’s. Dave would show up at her house every day and lay back on his motorcycle in front of her house, waiting for her to get home from school. You could hear these guys practicing in their garage all the way down the street to my house (a block away). Believe it or not, I was never really into the band Van Halen at the time. My taste in music had gone a different direction back then. The best thing I remember about the Van Halen’s (being a kid at the time), is Eddie’s mom always gave out the best candy every Halloween to us trick-or-treaters. So, when I think of Eddie, I don’t think of him as some kind of rock star, I think of him as a childhood friend who I always used to pick on for going to PHS (Pasadena High School) because (as everyone knows) the best high school in Pasadena is BLAIR HIGH SCHOOL!!! Sorry Eddie - I guess I still can’t help myself!🤣
Roth's actual musical contributions to the band are usually overlooked by critics, musicians, his bandmates, and even fans. For their albums, he wrote all of the lyrics, created the vocal melodies and the attitude of the most iconic VH songs in their catalog.There is no doubt that his creativity was equal to Eddie's in creating these songs. His lyrics were far more clever than many realize,; this wasn't stupid stuff from Ratt , Bob Jovi or Guns N Roses. And his vocal phrasings were very unique; nobody sang like Roth. His musical contributions are eons more than Wolfgang's, who was essentially no more than a hired hand on bass, similar to Darryl Jones in the Stones. He just happened to have the last name of Van Halen. And Michael Anthony's contributions to VH were far greater than Wolfgang's.
Yes. DLR was 1/2 of Van Halen. I hope Wolfie isn't collecting royalties for any of the Roth era albums. Because he nor Valerie deserve a dime. Eddie's second wife deserves Eddie's share. and the rest should be split between Alex, Michael and David, with David receiving a bigger cut.
I can see why lightening energy of David Lee Roth clashed with the sluggish overweight low energy of Wolfgang. Wolfgang does not have the effervescent spirit that his father Eddie and David had that made Van Halen the band it was .
The saddest thing is that they can't put aside their egos and give Ed a proper tribute tour. Lots of artists are wanting to contribute but Wolf, David, and Sammy can't agree. Breaks my heart.
Kicking out Michael Anthony after all that they put him through was one of the most disgusting turn of events in rock history. And I don't care who the replacement is.
The 2015 tour was great, and DLR was doing his ”schtick” with the I for the words. I’ve seen him pick and choose where that happens even when he was younger. I knew there were tensions, but not to this degree…and I’m a bonafide Van Halen fan! Love that band!
So it went from no brown m and m’s to no glazed donuts? And Wolf violated the stipulation? Good thing a bottle of anything wasn’t one of the item’s listed
David Lee Roth ego is so big that he thinks he can do anything like a radio show his radio show sucked. It was so boring and it just showed how displaced he is from reality.
Van Halen was just another band without Dave out front. Period. When that first album came out he/they ROCKED me and everyone I knew. But as most bands. It’s the front man that makes or breaks them.
agree, but lots of people who don’t know original music keep on trashing Dave, who gives a damn about them, they must listen to most top 40 hits and are happy with dancing music
@@2216sammy what's ur problem,jealous?? He was hot, sexy, and can belt out a song the same way!! Not to mention his martial arts, so I think he's got it all covered!!! How bout u??
It appears that the Van Halens are difficult to get along with. As time goes on, more and more musicians come forward to talk about the difficulties they had with all three of them.
If your story's about Daves feelings towards eddies son, talk about that, not a long biography about everyone in the band and there childhood and upbringing
Nothing against Eddie’s son Wolfgang. I am not really into his style music. I am sure many people are into it. Wolfgang needs to rebrand himself as something else. He should enjoy playing the music he loves to play and become his own brand.
DLR has always had the speak first think later approach. That said picking on the kid of a legend is never a good thing to do. Eddie being as Iconic as he is and was will always garner the support he deserves and this will trickle down to Wolfie and Wolfie for the most part is quite about things.
Eddie was an alcoholic and could be a spiteful prick when drinking - they way that Eddie and Alex treated Michael Anthony was DISGRACEFUL. Roth is an Egomaniac, but he doesn't seem to be as nasty as Eddie was. And I say this as an Eddie Van Halen Fan - his insecurities seemed to be as large as his talent.
Funny how the same "rift" exists with Sammy Hagar who has Mike playing with him on projects...It was never just Dave's fault as many people think. Van Halen was the first band to have the guitarist contract lead singer's disease and go all Axl Rose.
I'm impressed that Wolf has had the degree of success he's had thus far but doubt it'll last. When parents are as successful as his, there's rarely room at the top for the next generation; Ziggy Marley, Jacob Dylan, Julian Lennon...
wolfgang is good player but dont think he be where he was if he wasnt eddies son, david on the other hand is a rock legend and vanhalen wouldnt be where it was if it wasnt for him
agree, he has not the talent needed to be a star, there are soooooo many better players composers out there, but hey….thats the way his father wanted it to be 🤷♂️
David Lee Roth is probably one of the best singer’s and frontman out of the 80’s. But in real life the guy is probably a real jerk! He thinks everything should revolve around him and be about him. I think the guy is a big A hole!
You sound like a third grader . In your comment,, you said he thinks everything should revolve around him ( Roth).. how do you know what he thinks? Do you even know what you think??
@@FactsVerse I like your channel! I was a teenager in the 80’s so I like anything that pertains to the 80’s. Have you done a story on the Space Shuttle Challenger or Christa McAuliffe? That would be interesting.
I do agree DLR is self absorbed but he was a key player in the band. He earned it in the clubs & concerts. Wolfang didn't. He was given it. He also can't compare to Michael Anthony.
"Both of Wolfgang's solo albums charted higher than anything DLR has released since 1987" comparing apples to oranges. back then we actually had a thriving music industry with a lot of bands and music industry charts that actually reflected what was happening in the industry. Now we have neither. I think Dave's problem is that wolfgang didn't start van halen and doesn't have as much right to it as dave does but now dave has to deal with the bosses son.
bands DON'T have to 'adapt to the evolving musical landscape' to be relevant or CONFORM! VH will always be VH, just like AC/DC and all the other greats! When bands try to change to follow 'trends' those are usually their worst albums because they aren't being themselves. so fuckALLthatSHIT!
No, I did not know about the rift between David Lee Roth & Wolfgang Van Halen. I not surprised either. DLR always did have an attitude that was BIGGER than life, so I’m not surprised that he would have a gripe with WVH, the youngest member of the band (I think).
@@jamieburgess1460 Wolfgang is the only reason that Eddie went back out at all (probably Alex, too). Any decision about Wolfgang replacing Michael Anthony was Eddie's, not Wolfgang's. They started rehearsing before Wolfgang was legally able to drive. Also, Wolfgang and Mike are cool with each other.
The only thing i got out of this bubble gum gossip video is Wolfgang's cool Basses. I found "Premier Guitar" rig rundown of Mammoth. 45min long. I'm going there now.
It's a shame more rockers can't be like the guys in Rush, or the Dead. Eddie was kind of like a tyrant, but he sort of mellowed with age. And Roth is still Roth!
In Happy Days they had an episode where they had Fonzie jump a shark. That shark was played by Wolfie in a shark suit. He then appeared as a dancer behind Katy Perry at the Superbowl. Then Eddie decided he'd better teach him how to play bass.
I'm a few years younger that David, so me saying I think David is in denial of his age and having trouble accepting it, is from experience growing up in the same time period. He has had many accomplishments in his life. Martial arts, was a paramedic, rock star and Mega Chick magnet. A 69 year old man singing some of those old VH songs just doesn't fit him any more. Too many songs from VH are about "chasing skirts" and young people "hooking up". He's had a BIG heyday and now it's all behind him.
The title of this video made me think that Roth was going to be in an interview descibing his feelings bout Wolfgang ... this didn't tell me much of anything that I didn't already know. I seen them live 3 times between 1980 and 1984, I really liked them live, too 🟪
Van Halen did not need to infuse Post-Alternative turd music. They are known for an era, and Wolf sucks at backup vocals. They sounded empty or weak without Michael Anthony's vocals.
Wolfgang didn't deserve the spot, IMO. He rode on his father's coattails and was nowhere near as good as Michael Anthony, the treatment of whom was awful. Wolfgang should also realize something else. That Roth is every bit as responsible for Van Halen being legendary as EVH. One without the other was less.
Bringing your own son into the band after kicking out and original member who did no wrong was classless. Nepotism like that is never good and genuflects bad on everyone especially the kid.
That last tour wasn't Van Halen. It was just some Van-Halens and David Lee Roth. OG and Hagar Van Halen will always be Alex, Eddie, and Mike. What Eddie did to Mike during the 2004 tour (not treating him as an equal member) was a dick move.

@@maestromike91971 Wolfgang needs to lay off the dairy, donuts and carbs, okay!!!!
@@JamminClemmons oh, I see? 😆
"Both of Wolfgang's solo albums charted higher than anything DLR has released since 1987"
comparing apples to oranges. back then we actually had a thriving music industry with a lot of bands and music industry charts that actually reflected what was happening in the industry. Now we have neither. I think Dave's problem is that wolfgang didn't start van halen and doesn't have as much right to it as dave does but now dave has to deal with the bosses son.
bands DON'T have to 'adapt to the evolving musical landscape' to be relevant or CONFORM! VH will always be VH, just like AC/DC and all the other greats! When bands try to change to follow 'trends' those are usually their worst albums because they aren't being themselves. so fuckALLthatSHIT!
I can't stand the kid either on many levels!
Mammoth was Eddies first band name....before VH .....So Wolfgang using it ..

No, I did not know about the rift between David Lee Roth & Wolfgang Van Halen. I not surprised either. DLR always did have an attitude that was BIGGER than life, so I’m not surprised that he would have a gripe with WVH, the youngest member of the band (I think).
Do you know him personally, I didn’t think so. Keep your opinions to yourself.
How about YOU mind your own business. I wasn't speaking to you anyway. I was communicating with Facts Verse.
So where is Roth talking about wolfgang like the thumbnail looks to promise..gotta love the inyternet, should be called the BS-Net.
WVH is an accomplished musician in his own right. He's already had a grammy nomination with Mammoth, and I think he will always be a star.
Thanks for sharing this information about Wolfgang! What is your favorite Van Halen song?
I didn't know Chumlee was a Van Halen.
I didn't know you were an idiot!!!
Wolfgang never met a sandwich he didn't like.
Fat-shaming is so passé.
@@luvspaiste Let's face it, Wolfgang is responsible for Van Halen not getting back together, would have been nice.
@@jamieburgess1460 Wolfgang is the only reason that Eddie went back out at all (probably Alex, too). Any decision about Wolfgang replacing Michael Anthony was Eddie's, not Wolfgang's. They started rehearsing before Wolfgang was legally able to drive. Also, Wolfgang and Mike are cool with each other.
@@luvspaiste Passe, mean, and very ineffective.
WVH has used food to combat his anxiety, while EVH used substances.
*ROTH SAW BIG MONEY ALONE BUT FIZZLED OUT WHEN SAMMY SAVED VH* *CATER*
*WOLFY DONT HANG WITH NORMAL HUMANS* *HE HIDES IN 5150* *CATER*
*LMAO*
Wasn't "Crazy from the Heat" the first Roth album?
Terrible waste of time. Go to the last 2 minutes.
The only thing i got out of this bubble gum gossip video is Wolfgang's cool Basses. I found "Premier Guitar" rig rundown of Mammoth. 45min long. I'm going there now.
true, video was long and sucked
Roth's hair looks insaaaine in the thumbnail
Eddie was an icon. But Wolfgang constantly talks about his dad. So finding his own identity is no something he does.
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great week!☺
Jesus… That picture of Roth in the thumb now lol.

It's a shame more rockers can't be like the guys in Rush, or the Dead. Eddie was kind of like a tyrant, but he sort of mellowed with age. And Roth is still Roth!
Waited and waited for the narrator to actually say something instead of word salads, mostly "navigate, or some other overused wording.
In his prime, Roth was a rock god. Then he went weird. 🇦🇺😊
In Happy Days they had an episode where they had Fonzie jump a shark.
That shark was played by Wolfie in a shark suit.
He then appeared as a dancer behind Katy Perry at the Superbowl.
Then Eddie decided he'd better teach him how to play bass.
Who cares about Roth. He was good but thought too much of himself and left. He's been regretting it since. Screw him. His opinion left when he left
Wolfgang was adopted. He does not have Eddie's genetics.
Roth's solo albums speak for themselves. He didn't need the band .
Dave looking like a character from The Hobbit. Drugs and booze get you in the end.
Sick of these commentaries i wanna hear them
Hm... what did David say about Wolfgang?
The real stuff starts at 6:22. You're welcome
I'm a few years younger that David, so me saying I think David is in denial of his age and having trouble accepting it, is from experience growing up in the same time period. He has had many accomplishments in his life. Martial arts, was a paramedic, rock star and Mega Chick magnet. A 69 year old man singing some of those old VH songs just doesn't fit him any more. Too many songs from VH are about "chasing skirts" and young people "hooking up". He's had a BIG heyday and now it's all behind him.

The title of this video made me think that Roth was going to be in an interview descibing his feelings bout Wolfgang ... this didn't tell me much of anything that I didn't already know. I seen them live 3 times between 1980 and 1984, I really liked them live, too 🟪
Dave looks like Frank Gallagher in the thumbnail
Van Halen did not need to infuse Post-Alternative turd music. They are known for an era, and Wolf sucks at backup vocals. They sounded empty or weak without Michael Anthony's vocals.
Hey! if you happen to read this before watching the video....don't bother watching the video
Nepotism and mammoth is the right word to describe the son....
Eddie van halen..best guitarist in the world..miss him a lot
We're a big fan of Eddie too. Which Van Halen song appealed to you the most?
Wolfgang didn't deserve the spot, IMO. He rode on his father's coattails and was nowhere near as good as Michael Anthony, the treatment of whom was awful. Wolfgang should also realize something else. That Roth is every bit as responsible for Van Halen being legendary as EVH. One without the other was less.
roth turned into phil spector
David Lee Roth has some serious issues and he thinks it all surrounds all about him
Bringing your own son into the band after kicking out and original member who did no wrong was classless. Nepotism like that is never good and genuflects bad on everyone especially the kid.
old david lee roth looks like old dirk benedict now , wow
Roth is worth about 60 million. I wonder what lack of compensation he was complaining about
Great video. Wolfgang Van Halen was born March 16, 1991. In the year 2000, he was 9 years old, not 16 years old.
Thanks for the correction! We'll check the video 💕💕
The "feelings" content starts at around 6:26.
Wolfgang had no business in the band.
That Beiber/Disney Kid hairdoo is a real scream! 😂😂😂😂💀

When DLR feels threatened, he runs to the media. He has issues
06:15 to get to the actual topic in the title of the video. 👍🏻

That last tour wasn't Van Halen. It was just some Van-Halens and David Lee Roth. OG and Hagar Van Halen will always be Alex, Eddie, and Mike. What Eddie did to Mike during the 2004 tour (not treating him as an equal member) was a dick move.
