And so does his old man.

I will admit, Wolfie looks the coolest of all them. At least he's not a mess.

Holy Shit batman!! that's fuckin hilarious!!

I think they all look pretty cool except weirdo Ed.
Wolfgang probably looks the coolest because he's thinking: Hey, I'm only 15 and I'm in Van fucking Halen!
The 15 year-old version of me is very jealous.
Dude I'm sure he's excited. Ed looks like a fucking troll, I just don't where that fucker's head is.

What did I say in the other thread? If you don't like, don't post in here. I'm keeping it out of Main, and in here. So stop whining. Oh and stop trolling the board soldier. :rolleyes:
Threads are being closed for a variety of reasons, pointing out obvious things about Sammy Hagar is not one of them.
As much as I am incensed about Mike's dismissal, taking personal shots at the kid is lower than maggot shit. No....I don't think he will be able to fill those shoes even halfway, but I'm sure he'd shred in a band of his own.
Let's get a grip, folks.
You're ALL jealous!!!

There may be some who are jealous...so you are only half right on that one.
That second sentence......well, there is no doubt in my mind that he was getting pussy probably well before this. He's Eddie's kid fer cryin out loud.

What is with this thread title? Are we the DLR Army now? You know NOTHING about Wolfgang's ability. Be pissed over Mike's absense, but can we quit with the name-calling? Anti-Wolfgang threads ain't gonna help, boys...at least without hearing him play. If he sucks, flame all you want, but some people like to make up their minds before they know any actual information.

I still think the kid looks good though. But he don't belong in VH.

Is it just me, or does he have the qualities of Ed, Val, AND Alex? He's got the Van Halen look, he's got some obvious qualities of Val, but his eyes look similar to Al's.
Yes too bad he's not fronting his own band.

Yeah I agree with you on that one Brett. Wolfie actually looks like a professional musician next to those clowns.
Something just occured to me.....I wonder if Ed is pushing and plugging wolfie so much that people will believe that hes actually another Eddie Van Halen. The way I see it, its kinda like Sean Lennon, George Harrisons kid or Dweezil Zappa. Sure, they all had famous musician parents but I dont think that any of them raised them so high up on a pedistal that they tried to fool anyone with it.
Just my .2 cents.
I am kind of anxious to see what Wolfie can do as far as playing goes. Its obvious to most of us that he will never, ever be able to fill Mikes shoes or even mikes legacy in the band but I am just naturally curious to see what he can do and play. Theres nothing wrong with giving the kid a shot at it but I think he has alot to prove before he is ever truly accepted by VH Fans...even if he is eddies kid.
I hope the kid's good, just because there's no reason to wish for him to suck. Still doesn't change anything for me.

Exactly. I'm the same age, so I know the pressure. I really don't think he belongs on this "reunion" tour, but damnit, I'd be jealous as fuck of this kid if we went to the same school :D
I wish him the best. My theory of him being pushed into this by Papa Van Halen still stands. I hope he does very well, and if he isn't good, any criticism goes to Ed and not him. A dude his age wouldn't be able to take that. I know I couldn't, thats for damn sure.

I saw Wolfchub play on the last tour and he stank it up bigtime. I really can't see him going from shit to exemplary in two years.
Well shit dude we all saw that, he was not a very good guitar player. That's for sure. I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.

All I see is Valerie when I look at him. His mother's son outwardly, big time. According to Ed, his father's son, when that Mozart genius comes out gunning this summer. :)

I apologize, Brett. I won't stay out of this forum, however, because I won't forget Mike. I'll just stay out of threads that try to create controversy...People will find a way in the regular-titled threads too, I suppose. Oh well!
Dude the Wolfie stuff will go away eventually, or at least die down, this is all just happening right now and of course people will be upset.
Ed looks like a fucking troll, I just don't where that fucker's head is.
LOL! That's one hilarious statement! I will have to say that Eddie looks better in that picture than he did in 2004.....that was just embarrassing.....and it still is embarrassing, just not nearly as much.

Everyone will be positive when the band does positive things. Face it, not everyone sees this thing as positive, nor should they have to if they don't want. You think you running around calling people "bitches," "girls," "whiners," "babies," is the way to ellicit positive responses?

Well I think he might, considering how close they are with Mike. I don't know their take (haven't spoken to the guys in a while), but I would imagine they think this thing is kind of a joke.

You can find the all-exclusive "EVH" forum in the same place you can find the 10 albums worth of new VH material, the unreleased material from the vaults, a reunion of the original CVH lineup, and the gracious 'thank you' and 'best of luck' statement from EVH to MA for his contributions to the band over the past three decades. Oh, that's right, none of those things apparently exist or ever happened. Sorry. I guess there isn't an all-exclusive "EVH" forum. ;)
Actually, Brett already stole my thunder. EVH is at the epicenter of 98% of the conversations on this site, as he should be. He's the person who got most of us interested in this band and was a childhood hero for most of us, too. About right now I'd like to bitch slap him for his actions, but that doesn't take away what he used to be to me (and may be again someday if he ever wises up IMHO). :)

I could invoke the "strawman argument" reference again, but that seemed to cause problems with others on this board last night. :rolleyes:
The bottom line is that you're affixing this standard for EVH that none of us is asking for because it's easier for you than to actually defend his individual actions. All we're asking for is commonsense from the guy and an occasional action on his part that looks like he actually appreciates making music for himself and for the fans. The fact is, EVH appears to be taking actions that don't please anybody completely, not even himself. The guy doesn't appear to enjoy doing what he does anymore. Forget about the cancer and the alcoholism, to me it's the fact that his "baby" (VHIII) tanked. For the first time he had complete control and it failed badly (though I'm actually not a VHIII hater despite agreeing that it's the weakest effort by the band).
Want a comparison?!? Just look at many other bands and you tell me that the fans of this band haven't had to put up with more bullshit than the fans of other bands. IMO, EVH is most to blame for this.

Fine and I understand your attraction to VH, as it's similar to what attracted me to them and their music nearly 30 years ago. But how about ceasing with this ridiculous practice of trying to portray all of us who are critics of this tour as being unreasonable in our expectations from EVH & Co. No one is asking EVH to "conform to each and every fans own idea of what he should be and do," and you know that. That's just an lazy and disingenuous debating tactic in which you try to denigrate all of our views without actually rebutting the specific points we're making.
What the last decade has shown about EVH is that if he has a handful of choices to make, he will invariably choose one of the worst options in which no one is completely happy, even himself. He obviously should've done this short tour with MA then did something with his kid. The original lineup -- and even the SH lineup, to a certain degree -- could've had some finality this year with the RRHOF induction and the short tour. Instead, EVH wants to do things his way. He may be the most important member of the band but he isn't the band all by himself, a fact he's forgotten as years have passed. You'd think he would've learned this for himself from 1996-99.

The original lineup -- and even the SH lineup, to a certain degree -- could've had some finality this year with the RRHOF induction and the short tour. Instead, EVH wants to do things his way. He may be the most important member of the band but he isn't the band all by himself, a fact he's forgotten as years have passed. You'd think he would've learned this for himself from 1996-99.
I'm not trying to debate anything......I know Ed's fucked up. I guess I'm just more optimistic that the Eddie of the previous 20 years (78' - 98') is still very real, and the Eddie of the last 10 years, is the exception. The guy's been through a lot, recently, which to me is an explanation, but I can see how some would consider it an excuse....difference of opinion, that's all.
And Squal..No one was slagging Mike at all.......just looking for a "safe haven" for the Eddie freaks as well. Ya know....equal time....and all.
Didn't realize it was something that had to do with "past" band members. I get it now.

Lode...LOL. I think by the very nature of the band and this board, 'Eddie freaks' pretty much get a free pass into all forums. We all agree Eddie is the cornerstone of this group. Is there anyone who doesn't, other than a few delusional 'Tards? Are there really any Daveheads who think Dave was better with Vai than with Van Halen? Naaaaaaaah.
I understand it's been hard seeing him getting raked over the coals these last couple years, but he's got nobody to blame but himself. If Ed were on the ball and on top of things, recognizing and respecting the associates and fans who've helped make him what he is, we'd all being dancing naked in the ZippaDeeDooDa EVH parade in Pasadena. :)

I don't think Wolfie stinks, just the fact that he's in Van Halen stinks.
The sad thing is, by joining this band, he's never going to be anything without his old man & that's a shame.
He'll be a has been before he's 30.
Plus he'll probably never form his own musical identity.
Okay, then... I'm still gonna drink a lot, but I'll put the wives and girlfriends on alert to be listening closely should they bring up VH/Mike/Wolfgang. Then I'll write a three-page double-spaced report and turn it in for y'all to grade.
Seriously, though, I'll make sure I report back what's said accurately. Will probably talk to the guys a little after the show as well...
Well there's not much to report. This I will tell you, though: Leave the girls at home. My girlfriend and my buddy's (pregnant) wife didn't have very much fun. And we were both caught in that "am I allowed to go crazy and scream and hang out with my bud when the significant other is looking bored?" gray area. So we actually split a couple of songs before the end of their set. (I fucking hate leaving shows/parties early.)
I talked to Lance briefly before the show, and he was a little frustrated at the moment because those in charge of gear hadn't given him any indication as to where the 5150 heads were. No talk about Mike.
About halfway through the first set Ralph said: "Hey, I can't believe I didn't mention this sooner. Are you guys excited that David Lee Roth is back with Van Halen? I'll be buying tickets for the front row and going backstage!" There was no mentioned of Mike or Wolfgang. Unfortunately I wasn't able to talk with them later (or jam with them this time--dammit!).
As far as the show was concerned, they sounded great. It was looser than when I saw them in December, and they came out doing more "deep" stuff early on ("Romeo Delight," "Hear About It Later," "I'm The One," "Loss Of Control"). I liked that the same band in the same place doing the same songs just a couple of months since they were last there gave a different vibe and show than their previous visit. It made it worth it--again--to drive 45 minutes north of the Twin Cities into Whitetrashville. The moment I could have done without: a random, requested jam of "Sweet Child 'O Mine." Lance didn't look happy about having to play that one either.
I snapped one pic. It's attached.
LOL fucking bonehead.
Dude, just get rid of this guy. You have the power. :)
I do, however, agree with some of his statements. It'd be better with Mikey since that way it'd really be a reunion tour.
But he's still getting annoying. Just start banning these silly fudge packers.

Why take a shot at Wolfie? Ok, Mike's out. We get it. Some of us are pissed about it. But I don't understand the shot at Wolf without knowing anything about him. Very Rothtardish.

That's not to say he stinks as a player though, he should do something on his own...

Wow , did the kid beat this guy up or somethin'....Ya gotta be hammered bud.

Wallet chains are gay and cliche. Next.
I still think the kid looks good though. But he don't belong in VH.
Agreed...100%...no doubt about it...BUT
I understand this is a Mikey devoted forum...not a Wolfie bashing forum which this thread has become.
Maybe it's because I'm just a few years older than Wolfie...maybe thats the reason why I find myself sticking up for this kid.
Seeing a thread called Wolfgang van Halen STINKS....pisses the fuck out of me that some people would turn on this kid... when if you asked people what their opinion of him was when he was young, they'd say... I remember when the kid was born...He's Ed's son...He's cool....Now all of a sudden Ed kicks Mikey out...which also pisses the fuck out of me by the way...and Wolfie, his son, is in....Now Wolfie is a FUCKING PRICK too! Fuck off please.
Now I know...if I was that pissed off I should just ignore this thread and not add to it...let people think what they want...I understand. But if this thread grows to a level where many people just keep bashing this kid...this site will have dropped a level in integrity in my book.
I personally surprised that this has not been closed.
Bottom line:
Mikey you ROCK...you DESERVE to be on tour with Ed, Al and Dave this summer. You did not deserve to be kicked out of a band in such a fucking DISRESPECTFUL way!
Just because many of us think this way doesn't mean Wolfie has to be the punching bag to let out all this aggression out on. :thumb:
Unless it's talking about what a douchebag Ed is, yes. :)
Brett I respect your stance on VH these days...and how you feel about Ed. You always speak honestly about your feelings about this band and how Ed has kind of fucked it up in the past. And everything you say I always say to myself, "I agree with that totally."
But how does continually calling Ed a douchebag add to anything? I understand you might have intended to be humorous with that remark but are we not allowed to talk about Ed here unless it is negative. I mean regardless of how much of a dick we think Ed has been in the past years, don't we all have some sort of respect left for this man. I know I do. Not entirely a lot...but I still have respect for him.

I agree. I haven't heard Wolfie yet. And if Mikey is down in Cabo livin' it up with Sammy, more power to him. He KNOWS he is loved!
I hope folks aren't so spiteful about Mike being canned they wish ill things on Wolfgang. I'm willing to bet no one in the VH camp, past or present, including Mike, wants to see things go bad with Wolfgang. We want to see our favorite band do well, and I can tell you personally I don't want to see a teenage kid get his ass handed to him. There's a lot of fan pressure on him right now. I'm still skeptical but also hopeful. Number One I want to see Mike with VH minus all the bullshit (impossible now), but even without that I don't wish anything terrible for Van Halen.

As a Dad, I feel bad for the kid. Its not easy being a 15-16 year old either, just going to school, and to now have to replace a founding member in one of the top rock and roll bands on top of it.
Ed, what were you thinking?

As much as I am incensed about Mike's dismissal, taking personal shots at the kid is lower than maggot shit. No....I don't think he will be able to fill those shoes even halfway, but I'm sure he'd shred in a band of his own.
Let's get a grip, folks.
Thank-You.
We can all contribute some responsible thinking here by closing this fucking thread, then deleting it. At the least, change the fucking title.
To pick on Wolfgang is not only ridiculous, it is an embarrassment to this website. The Title alone is terrible as it stands by itself and isnt worthy of the digits that make up this worthy site.

Wolfie links. This is just the beginning. ;)
Gotta have a thick skin to be doing what he's doing. That said, critiques should be centered on his place in Van Halen, his age and experience, perhaps the nepotism and such. Cracks about weight are stupid. Cracks about rightfully being in Van Halen will continue.

I appreciate it anyway.
