There are a few threads talking about this for the last 24-36 hours.
Oh man, this doesn't bode well for VH, long term...
Maybe they WILL end up getting Mike back in the band.
Seems like Wolf really digs this crazy "modern" music (he looked really into playing the Tremonti stuff).
Blah.....
Van Halen tried to sell Wolfgang to the fans with a massive PR front on all media and I guess the record company and Live Nation do market research to judge the results.
My guess is that they left it too late to get Dave back in the band and now the curiosity value has gone too.
Of the fans who are fanatic, most will except Eddie's kid on bass, not as a first choice, but as a 'rather this than nothing' choice.
There is a massive group who weren't die hard fans, but got into Van Halen when they had some mainstream success with Pretty Woman, the US Festival, Jump, and 1984.
This massive group of 'soft' fans would respond to a Classic Van Halen reunion, if only to recapture their youth, have a great time and witness rock history.
This is a massive commercial pull on the band, Live Nation and the record company.
My guess is that Wolfgang is already out of the band and the reason Mike was so uncomfortable on That Metal Show when asked about his split from the group is that he cannot speak yet about his return to Van Halen due to contractual and legal issues.

This thread should be re-titled to 'Has Wolfgang Already Left Van Halen?'
c'mon UG , don't give up that easily !! lol
Wolf has stated a few times that he likes Tool and music like that . no cause for alarm , IMO.
Eddie is recovering from surgery and Wolfie is friends with those guys with Tremonti . remember how we were ALL wondering 'how the fuck does the drummer from Sevendust get to hear the new VH album in the studio ?'
because WVH is buddies with them ... he's using the down time in VH land to jam live with some pals .
"There's a little bit of Van Halen in everyone ..."![]()
"Who Dares , Wins ..."
"Van Halen was never about the singer ..."
I have been around, first my old Mac shit out on me, then we started having internet problems......long story but i'm back, thanks for missing me! But yea i woyuldnt look to far in to this. VH are taking a break for a bit and Wolf is playing with some other guys for a bit. Happens all the time![]()
