Metal Sludge — No it’s not Groundhog Day, but yes Wolfgang Van Halen is in the news again.

As predictable as sunshine in Southern California, it seems the son of the late Edward Van Halen is once again firing off on his twitter and he’s not happy either.

The latest in a string of rants that people are taking advantage of his Father’s passing, Van Halen tweeted: “F@#k ’em” at Julien’s Auctions.

As reported by Blabbermouth: “Julien’s Auctions held the highly anticipated “Icons & Idols Trilogy: Rock ‘N’ Roll”, the world record-breaking auction house to the stars’ annual music extravaganza, on Tuesday, December 1 and Wednesday, December 2, 2020 live in Beverly Hills and online at JuliensAuctions.com.”

The only child of the late great guitar legend also seems to be offended by the latest Blabbermouth headline as well, tweeting: “The headline should read: “Three guitars that are striped were sold at an auction for charity.” They weren’t stage guitars. I had nothing to do with this. I don’t EVER plan on selling any of my father’s iconic guitars. The only place they’d possibly belong in is a museum.” (see all screen captures below)

The Blabbermouth article continues: “The top-selling item of the event was an iconic guitar played by one of the greatest guitarists of all time — Eddie Van Halen. His customized Kramer electric guitar serial number F 0024 built by Van Halen with his guitar tech Matt Bruck at the guitarist’s 5150 home studio sold for $231,250 and features a red body with white and black stripes designed and applied by Van Halen. It was gifted to Van Halen‘s close friend Bryan Cush, the owner of Cush’s Centenary Oyster House in Shreveport, Louisiana in 1991 It is inscribed “Yo – / Bryan / Let’s get / shucked / up / Eddie Van Halen / 5150” and was displayed at the bar where it was played by Van Halen when he visited. The guitar also includes a white Van Halen guitar pick and two backstage passes, one labelled “Bertinelli Guest.””

“Van Halen‘s 2004 EVH Charvel Art Series electric guitar was another auction highlight which sold for $140,800. The Fender Stratocaster-style headstock numbered on the back #54, has the unique white and black abstract design in the style of his 1978 “Van Halen I” guitar and signed Eddie Van Halen, initialed VH 04 and is inscribed in Van Halen‘s hand “San Antonio Texas / 9-28-04”. This guitar also features an EVH humbucking pickup with evidence of a cigarette burn to the front. Accompanying the guitar are multiple photos of Van Halen hand-applying taped stripes to the guitar. The EVH Charvel Art guitars are a limited-edition series of guitars inspired by Eddie Van Halen‘s most famous guitars where each one has a unique body, designed by Van Halen himself. “

Wolfgang showing his disdain for who, we’re not exactly sure, but its likely the auction house and possibly the seller of the items too.

“It WASN’T for charity. They’re just taking advantage of my father’s passing. What a surprise. Fuck ‘em.” tweeted the youngest Van Halen.

It’s safe to say that Wolfie isn’t one to hold his tongue and if he sees something he doesn’t like, he’s sure to react.
