David Lee Roth rips Wolfgang Van Halen for kicking out woman from tour after mistaking her for singer's GF
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: David Lee Roth has some strong words for his ex-bandmate Wolfgang Van Halen.
On Wednesday, January 24, he released a YouTube video where it begins with a fake interview. It refers to Wolfgang, as Jesus Christ and mocking him for benefitting from nepotism.
Wolfgang Val Halen replacing founding member Michael Anthony
Wolfgang is Van Halen's bass player and son of the late Eddie Van Halen and actress Valerie Bertinelli.
“Bro, I want people to know I got this job because of my talent,” a Wolfgang impersonator says.
“I would have this job anyway, even if my dad wasn’t God. I just want people to know I got this job because of my talent."
Roth then expresses his contempt over Wolfgang who replaced original Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony, reports People.
The 69-year-old claimed that the younger Van Halen threw a woman, thinking she was her girlfriend to get back at him for it. However, she was only an accountant in charge of payroll for the tour.
While sharing the clip on Instagram, he captioned, "This F—in’ Kid."

Wolfgang Val Halen and wife Andraia Allso remember late father Eddie
Wolfgang recently tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend Andraia Allso. The couple talked with People about honoring their family members.
"One of the things that I really wanted was a way to bring Wolf's dad into it," Andraia said earlier.
"We'll be having an empty chair that would've been his at the ceremony,” she explained.

“We cleared out all the bookshelves and we've just lined them with photos of our family, our loved ones, people who've passed, people who couldn't make it. We want everyone included and everyone to be able to also think of them on our special day.”
Roth, after the success of their hit album 1984, went on to explore his solo career. He returned in 1996, and in 2007, Eddie replaced founding bass player Anthony with his own son and Roth took over as frontman again.
Roth left the band after Eddie died in 2020, aged 65.
