Van Halen’s lead singer David Lee Roth has launched a profanity filled rant against Wolfgang Van Halen, the son of his late bandmate on his podcast, ‘The Roth Show’ on YouTube.
Wolfgang played bass in the band from from 2007 to 2015 after replacing original Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony. The 32-year-old singer is currently releasing music with his band, Mammoth WVH.
In a clip from his show posted on his Instagram page, the 69-year-old singer is heard launching in a tirade of abuse against Wolfgang and calls him ‘this f****** kid’ as well as a ‘schlemiel’ (fool in Yiddish) repeatedly.
The clip begins with a spoof interview of David interviewing Jesus Christ and implies that his bandmate’s son has been benefiting from nepotism.
He also claims that Wolfgang spent time complaining that he did not pay attention to him while they were touring together.
