"On the latest episode of the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast, Wolfgang said DLR started a feud without provocation by posting a lengthy rant to YouTube in 2024 that was essentially a monologue insulting Wolfgang. The clip started with Roth suggesting that the late Eddie Van Halen's son benefited from nepotism, and then went on to accuse Wolfgang of trying to throw Roth's guests out of Van Halen shows."
"The musician had previously reacted to DLR's YouTube rant back in March 2024, sarcastically stating at the time: "I guess I'm honored he even thinks about me as much as he seems to." Any prospective Van Halen tribute reunion would be a pipe dream at this point, as DLR also appears to be on sour terms with Alex Van Halen after the two came to a disagreement concerning those possible reunion shows."
Wolfgang Van Halen refused to utter David Lee Roth's name and described Roth's 2024 YouTube rant as a two-hour-long set of unfounded lies. The rant allegedly suggested that Eddie Van Halen's son benefited from nepotism and accused Wolfgang of trying to eject Roth's guests from Van Halen shows, including calling him "this fuckin' kid." Wolfgang noted that he had been treated as a punching bag and emphasized that he is a 34-year-old married man with a third album. Wolfgang previously reacted sarcastically to the rant in March 2024. Prospective Van Halen tribute reunion plans appear unlikely due to Roth's disputes with Alex Van Halen.
