David Lee Roth Unloads Over Wolfgang Van Halen “This F—in’ Kid”
In a YouTube video uploaded on Wednesday, David Lee Roth, a founding member and frontman of Van Halen, voiced scorn for Wolfgang, the band’s bass player and son of the late Eddie Van Halen and actress Valerie Bertinelli.
The Van Halen vocalist slammed the 32-year-old musician, who not only served as the band’s bassist for several years but is also the son of the late Eddie Van Halen and Valerie Bertinelli, in an audio recording posted to his YouTube page on Wednesday.
Among his criticisms, Roth listed two instances in which he thought Wolfgang demonstrated bad judgment while the group was on tour.
Roth began his vocal storm with a thinly veiled swipe at Wolfgang for gaining his place in Van Halen through nepotism in a fake interview with Jesus Christ. Roth expressed his true views regarding Wolfgang.
“This fucking kid!” “He’s been complaining the entire tour that I’m not paying enough attention to him on stage,” he explained. “I’m giving him the best, everything I’ve got, in front of twenty, thirty thousand people at a clip, and he’s complaining to everybody around me — the business manager, the security guy, the clothing lady — ‘Dave’s not paying enough attention to me.'”
Roth then alleged that Wolfgang once ejected his guests from one of the group’s New York City gigs. “This schlemiel kid,” he added, referring to his old friend as a “fool” in a Yiddish accent, “has commandeered a couple of monkeys to go in back, behind my back, over to the side of the stage and throw out these two great dames that I invited to be my guests to the show.”
“This Fuckin Shtick Kid”
Roth indicated that the women were more than simply his special guests. “You won’t believe this shtick. “This fuckin’ kid doesn’t realise that these two ladies work for the accounting firm that represents him, not me,” he continued. “But as usual, he stiffed them for tickets just like his uncle and uncle’s brother.”
“He’s teaching me a lesson,” Roth explained. “What does this fucking kid not know?” They’re carrying the paychecks for all 82 members of the road crew.
Roth then claimed that Wolfgang kicked out guests again while the band performed in Los Angeles. “We’re at the Hollywood Bowl, I’m about to launch into ‘Ice Cream Man,’ and this fucking kid!” he yelled out.
“He commandeers two muscular monkeys and locates the lady who is my guest. She’s off in the wings of the Hollywood Bowl; they discover her, force her to walk the walk of shame past all the other guests and out into the parking lot, and hurl her out the building.”
“Wolfie Van Halen’s gonna teach me a lesson by throwing out what he thinks is my girlfriend,” he said. “Guess what? Not only is she an accountant again, and she is carrying the paychecks for all 82 of us on the road crew, but she is also carrying cash bonuses for everyone.”
He concluded, “You might want to pull over on this next one—you’re going to pee your pants. Remember New York City? It’s the same fucking lady. This fucking kid. “This fucking kid.”
Van Halen’s members have always had distinct — and often tense — ties with one another. Roth previously quit the band to pursue a solo career after the success of their album 1984.
Roth returned briefly in 1996 before taking over as frontman again from 2007 to 2020. Eddie replaced founding bassist Michael Anthony with his son, Wolfgang, in 2006, causing even more controversy.
Wolfgang performed with Van Halen until the band separated in 2020 following his father’s death. He then formed his band, Mammoth WVH, and released their debut album in 2021.

Britney Spears Has A Message For Ozzy Osbourne After He Called Her Dancing ‘Sad’
His family agreed, including his wife Sharon and older children Kelly and Jack Osbourne.
Britney, who routinely posts videos of herself dancing on social media, noticed and responded with a lengthy comment.
She began her essay by mentioning Kate Beckinsale’s 2001 film Serendipity and stating that “incredibly cruel people were talking about [Beckinsale] needs more age-appropriate content.” Beckinsale, who is in her fifties (as Britney also highlighted), has been known to confront social media bullies.
Britney then reacted to the Osbournes’ complaints. She stated that she rarely dances and responded to Sharon Osbourne’s description of her as “a poor little thing” by saying, “I’m not poor at all!!!”

“I taught dance lessons to a few adolescents last week… Spears wrote, “A lot of the kids were too thin, and some were too big.” “I know what it’s like to be judged, so it’s a ridiculous and stupid subject initially, but I think it’s important to HELP EACH OTHER and invite each other to places that help our souls to grow!!!”
Spears closed her email to the Osbournes, whom she described as “the most boring family known to mankind,” by ordering them to “kindly f**k off.”

Tenacious D, the comedic rock duo comprised of Jack Black and Kyle Gass, has postponed the remainder of their tour following Gass’ remarks about the murder attempt on Donald Trump.
On Sunday, while onstage at a concert in Sydney, Black presented Gass with a birthday cake and urged him to “make a wish”. Gass responded, “Don’t miss Trump next time,” an apparent reference to the previous day’s rally shooting, which left the former president with a damaged ear. The footage of Gass was widely shared on social media.

“What was mentioned during the broadcast on Sunday caught me off guard. “I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any way,” Black wrote in an Instagram post on Tuesday. “After much thought, I no longer believe it is right to continue the Tenacious D tour, and any future creative plans are paused. I appreciate the fans’ support and understanding.”
Following Black’s statement, Gass apologized on Instagram.
“The line I improvised Sunday night in Sydney was highly inappropriate, dangerous and a terrible mistake,” the comedian wrote Tuesday. “I condemn all forms of violence against anyone. What happened was a tragedy, and I sincerely apologize for my lack of judgment.”
The band recently finished touring in the United States and Europe. Their “Spicy Meatball Tour” is set to resume Tuesday night in Newcastle. This month, they will visit most major cities in Australia and New Zealand before returning to the United States for a few chosen dates in October.

A band representative referred the Associated Press to Black’s remark when approached for further comment. Details about reimbursements for the remaining tour dates were not immediately available.
