Of course, it's Edward and Val's kid, Wolfie... Eddie said in an on-air interview with Howard Stern about a month ago that he wants Wolfie to take over Michael Anthony's spot as Van Halen bass player for their rumored up and coming tour. Guess he wasn't kidding around. :crazy:

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

Van Halen has finally found its new bassist -- and it looks like the rock gods are keeping the band a family affair.

TMZ is first to confirm that Van Halen has hired 15-year-old Wolfgang Van Halen -- the son of guitarist Eddie Van Halen and estranged wife Valerie Bertinelli, and nephew of drummer Alex Van Halen -- as the new bassist for the band.

Wolfgang replaces longtime bassist Michael Anthony, who left the band earlier this year. Van Halen spokesperson Janie Liszewski tells TMZ that Wolfgang, known as "Wolfie," has already joined his dad and uncle for rehearsals in the studio. Wolfie played dates with his father during the band's 2004 tour, and the song "316" on 1991's "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge," was named for Wolfie's birth date that same year.

The band is still without a lead singer, despite rumors that David Lee Roth might rejoin.
 
Now, lets hope that Van Halen can return to being good. The Best of Both Worlds disc was the best thing to come from Van Halen in almost 20 years, and it was mostly just a compilation disc (okay, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge had a couple of good songs on it, as did OU812, but they were both middling overall in my opinion).
 
Why does the fat kid always get stuck with the bass?


;)
 
I didn't think Van Halen could get any worse, but it looks like it just happened.
 
I think we have to wait until they start playing with Wolfie as the official bass player. None the less, I think they will suck.




But I might be wrong though.

Ciao!
 
I don't mean to dig up one of my old threads, but this was too funny, to me at least, not to post it.

It's Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar going after Wolfie after they found out Michael was out, and Wolfie was in. :dunce: :lol:

 
The band sucked for me because of Eddie. Can't stand his constant, "Hey, let's say something over and over...in a guitar solo!"
