Van Halen's New Bassist? Eddie's Boy Wonder!

31. Sad that he doesn't care enough about his son to get him help with his weight problem. American's are now passing down their lard to their children. His talent is no excuse for them not to get the boy some help.

32. What a sad piece. VH is over, let it go. I wouldn't pay $20 to see a crack head and his son dredge up and destroy all those great song of yesteryear.

33. The article is BS. It has not be confirmed. More than likely Wolfgang will be a rehearsal musician. I do not see the band going on tour without Mike on bass. He has never missed a tour, and has been a constant in the band before they were actually called Van Halen. In regards to the person wonderin if Van Halen thinks they are the Stones, of course they don't. Van Halen has better album sales than the Stones. While they may not be quite the tour draw the Stones are, they have out-sold the Stones via albums. Van Halen is a great band, but I hope they do not make the mistake of bringing Wolfgang on as the bassist. I think it could be the final straw for some fans.

34. Guy's enough with the weight problems we all have weight problems Michael Anthony must go on tour with them it doesnt matter how over weight Wolfee is. I hope eddie has enough sense to now it. Look @ Aero Smith, Def Leopard, Motley Crue mostly original members from the 80s Van Halen has to go with the originals for the tour to be a success.

36. Van Halen reunion without Michael Anthony? What does reunion mean? Sorry, no offense to the kid, but if I'm going to pay to see a Van Halen reunion, I need all four original guys. Michael Anthony's soprano-like background vocal parts are an integral part to the VH sound. Please tell me this is a bad dream. I've waited all these years to see Ed and Dave together again, and now Michael is cut out? Give me a frigging break. Somebody needs to get the word to these guys, true Van Halen fans (those of us who've stuck with Eddie and Alex through all their messes since '78) want the ORIGINAL FOUR MEMBERS.

37. Pay $250 to see a line-up that includes a 15 year old kid? Not likely. If DLR and MA arent on stage, I'll pay what I paid when I saw them back in '84: $20. Thats it. The whole EVH/drama queen routine wore thin YEARS ago. Just stfu and play R&R, otherwise stick to writing background music for the porn industry.

38. This is absolutely BRILLIANT!! Now if we can only get Paul and Ringo to team up with George's son and one or both of John's sons - the Beatles can tour again!!!

Not.

39. I will pay anything to see VH with DLR. They just aren't the same with a substitute singer. It would be like KISS without Gene Simmons or Paul Stanley; like Journey without Steve Perry; like Aerosmith without Steve Tyler or Whitesnake without David Coverdale. it's just not the same. Bring back Dave, please, because i want to spend my money to see Van Halen. It will be a three hour escape I wouldn't mind spending a few hundred $$ on. I'd rather see Michael Anthony on bass, but I guess I can live anyway. Bring back Dave, and I'm there.

40. Its amazing how opinionated people are. TRUE FAN'S! But I don't think we should be throwing shot's at the kid. Your either a pre or a post fan ( roth of course). And some are both.(myself included). I don't even remember how many years i have been a fan.
But i think it would be very disappointing not to have mike there. Rock on.

41. If you're gonna do it, do it right, contact the only solid reliable person who has been at your side since the bands conception (Michael Anthony), call Dave if thats who you want out front, start working out and rehearsing (even if it takes a year) and give the people who have made it possible for all of you to become rich, a real rock show!!
Put aside all the B.S. and go out up-side-down with your hair on fire!!!

Guess Who?

42. I saw Wolfie play with Eddie on the last VH tour and he sucked. He did absolutely nothing special at all. My 13 yr old son is just as good. Even if Wolfie can play the bass parts, which is unlikely, can he sing those high harmonies like Michael Anthony? The kid also has zero stage presence. This will be a disaster and potentially traumatic for the kid if he gets booed by 30,000 people. Yikes.

When Eddie fired Sammy he questioned Sammy's work ethic. Since then Eddie has done practically nothing while Sammy has toured almost nonstop and released numerous albums. Eddie is nuts. He called Sammy and Michael a cover band for playing "his" songs. But Eddie only writes the music. Sammy or Dave wrote the lyrics and probably a lot of the vocal melodies. Eddie, please retire. This is embarrassing. I may buy a ticket though just to watch the trainwreck!

44. Your kidding me right? A little fat kid is joining the rock icon into a legendary summer tour in 2007. What a slap in the face to Mikey! The drama goes on.... but Eddie has totally lost his mind.

45. I wonder if Wolfie's any good?
