Van Halen: David Lee Roth’s criticisms of Sammy Hagar and Wolfgang Van Halen

O Van Halen officially ended with the death of the guitarist Eddie Van Halen, in 2020. However, the band had been in seclusion since 2015, when they performed their last live performances. In addition to Eddiethe group had in its final formation with Alex Van Halen on the battery, Wolfgang Van Halen (son of Eddie) in the bass and David Lee Roth on vocals.

The latter does not seem to be concerned about his reputation among his former colleagues. In recent publications in YouTubethe singer criticized not only Wolfgangas well as theSammy Hagarvocalist who replaced him in the band after his first departure, in 1985.

Hagarit is worth mentioning, made negative comments about Roth on different occasions over the decades. Only recently, she said that she can sing the songs of Van Halen recorded by his rival with his foot on his back, he stated that he felt embarrassed when he saw his professional colleague perform recently and commented that he doesn’t even respect him as an artist.

The answer of Diamond Dave with Sammythe first target, arrived via a confusing audio recording (via website Igor Miranda). First, a little context: Hagar says in his autobiography, “Red”who believes he has received contact from aliens. DLR He took advantage of the situation to say that beings from another planet took sexual advantage of their professional colleague.

“According to Sam, he was abducted by aliens. I know that when you are abducted by aliens, you are sexually probed. I am compelled to address this sordid subject in an effort to explain the conduct of Sam Hagar. For the last 10 years, I haven’t spoken a syllable about him. None. I challenge you to find something. And faced with the constant stream of flatulent gas directed towards the Mojo Dojo Diamond Dave Laboratories… and I think we have arrived at the technical and medical answer that can explain the conduct of Sammy Hagar and his constant pouring of vitriolic diarrhea in our direction. Sammy Hagar was abducted by aliens and sexually probed.”

In another record (via website Igor Miranda), Roth lengthened when directing several comments about Wolfgangwho does not usually speak publicly about the vocalist — although he suggested that he is responsible for the remains of the Van Halen unable to even get together to do a show in honor of Eddie. Initially, David stated that the guitarist’s son, responsible for playing bass in the group from 2006 onwards, lacks attention.

“This damn kid has been complaining the whole tour that I wasn’t paying enough attention to him on stage. Like Santa Claus coming down the chimney and appearing at Christmas without anyone paying attention. Shalom to the dome, bro. I’m giving him the best. All I have in front of me are twenty, thirty thousand people at once, and he’s complaining to everyone around me – the business manager, the security guard, the maid – ‘Dave You’re not paying enough attention to me.’”

Right away, DLR tells two stories about how Wolfgang allegedly ordered security guards to remove women from shows Van Halen believing that they would be groupies invited by the singer. In fact, according to him, they were employees of the band itself.

“In New York, this kid ordered some muscular gorillas to go behind my back, to the side of the stage and chase away these two grand ladies I invited to the show. And these women are in their forties, okay? Business women. I’m not talking about groupies. These two women work for the accounting firm that represents him, not me. But, as always, he, like his uncle (Alex) and his uncle’s brother (Eddie), tightened the rules for guests. I knew they were going to do it, so I anticipated it and gave them tickets. I placed them right next to it. They carry the paychecks of all 82 people on the road crew.”

Another case

The second situation mentioned by David Lee Roth refers to the last show of Van Halenin Hollywood. The story is similar.

“That damn boy! Again he commands two muscular gorillas, locates the only lady who is my guest. She’s behind the scenes. They find her, make her embarrass herself in front of all the other guests, go to the parking lot and throw her out of the place! Wolfie Van Halen will teach me a lesson by throwing away what he thinks is my girlfriend. But guess what? Not only is she an accountant again, and not only does she carry the paychecks for 82 of us on the road crew, but she also carries bonus money for everyone there. She’s the same lady from New York!”

Until now, Sammy Hagar It is Wolfgang Van Halen did not comment on the comments.
