Blabbermouth — Wolfgang Van Halen says that David Lee Roth has “all the right in the world” to perform VAN HALEN songs live with his solo band.
Wolfgang made the comment during a new interview with the Tucson, Arizona radio station KFMA while promoting the upcoming debut album from his solo project, MAMMOTH WVH.
Asked if he agrees with Roth‘s September 2019 statement that he would be “the face of VAN HALEN from this point on” due to the fact that Wolfgang‘s father, VAN HALEN guitarist Eddie Van Halen, was battling cancer at the time, Wolfgang said (see video below): “I guess, to a certain extent. [Dave] has all the right in the world to play the VAN HALEN songs he was a part of, so I don’t see any problem with that. There’s such a wide breadth of what the VAN HALEN catalog is than just him, so it might be a little weird to say he’s the face of it.”
While promoting his recent Las Vegas residency, Roth told Phoenix’s KSLX radio station that he was once again going solo because Eddie was “probably not gonna answer the bell this time.” The singer said that left him as “the face of VAN HALEN from this point on, most likely.”
Last month, Wolfgang told Rolling Stone about his relationship with Roth: “We’re cordial. But it was very business-related. You know, we were always cool, but we really only ever saw each other onstage.”
