In 1984, the two-year-old MTV network still had a lot to prove about its rock credentials, and bosses were serious about proving it all. At the same time, Van Halen had nothing left to prove – but it didn’t stop the parties connecting to offer one of the most outlandish prizes ever to the band’s fans. Announcing the “Lost Weekend” contest (one of a series of such promos), the broadcaster listed the tempting treasure: two nights partying with Van Halen amid their 1984 tour, including all the larger-than-life antics that would come with it, plus a stack of merchandise and $1,000 in cash. “You’ll...

Wolfgang Van Halen has responded to recent comments made about him by David Lee Roth. Back in January, Roth posted a video to his YouTube page that began with a spoof interview with Jesus Christ. “Bro, I want people to know I got this job because of my talent,” said the parody Jesus in an artificially sped up voice. “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.” Later in the video, Roth spoke directly about Wolfgang and their alleged interactions during the final Van Halen tour, describing him as a “schlemiel kid” and ...

Like many long-running bands, Van Halen‘s approach to music videos changed dramatically over the years. After releasing just a handful of low-budget lip-synced or live videos in their pre-MTV years, the group dove into the format headfirst and very successfully with more expansive and humor-laced clips for songs such as “Panama” and “Hot for Teacher.” When original singer David Lee Roth left and took his knack for outlandish videos with him, the group scaled down their comedic ambitions and released more conventional videos, with the notable exception of 1992’s award-winning “Right Now.” Of co...

Sammy Hagar has chimed in on the recent criticisms David Lee Roth has aimed at Wolfgang Van Halen. Over the past few weeks, Roth has posted two separate rants on YouTube and social media criticizing Wolfgang. In the first, titled “This Crazy Kid,” the singer claimed, among other things, that Wolfgang complained he wasn’t getting enough attention onstage during Van Halen’s 2015 tour and that the bassist had some of Roth’s female guests removed from the band’s shows. In a second diatribe titled “Family Therapy,” Roth took aim at A Different Kind of Truth, Wolfgang’s lone studio release with Van ...
