Wolfgang Van Halen - Bass - TREMONTI Story from the Road - Atlanta, GA

While he may be the newest member, he also has the most fascinating story; being brought on to play bass for the Tremonti tour at a moment's notice! Mr. Wolfgang Van Halen is sitting down with FRET12 on the road to give you the full story.

Wolfgang goes into his story of how he got his start in music, starting first with drums, then moving on to guitar, then to bass.

Ever wondered what sort of gear Wolfgang is using on the road? He describes his Fender rig that he uses for Tremonti, as well as his set up for when he is on the road with Van Halen.

Every great musician always has a very interesting set of influences and bands that got them into music in the first place. Wolfgang got his start listening to bands like AC/DC, then got his interest in drums and harmonies with blink182. He then got into Tool and other heavier music as his musical background grew.

Then get ready for the full story of how Wolfgang was brought into the fold, told by the man himself!

Already being in the area with the guys in Sevendust, the timing could not have been better!

Watch Wolfgang tell the story of how one of the craziest positions unfolded in the matter of a few hours, the night before the first show of a tour.

Let the madness continue with the next episode!

Is Ed going to kick Wolfie out like he did Mike? Didnʻt he say, "You canʻt be in 2 bands at once."

[Dirk Diggler]

more like his mom...But Val and Ed always looked like brother and sister

[sexymd07]

He looks just like his daddy.

Did Wolfie tell his father to go shove the Roth reunion tour up his ass like Mike did? HELL NO.

David Lee Roth, Edward Van Halen, Alex Van Halen and Wolfgang Van Halen. This is the lineup that's here to say.

Can someone, someplace please explain if Wolfgang is such a musical prodigy and can play drums, guitar, and bass is he jacking off his life playing with a bunch of has beens in Tremonti? Let's see what Wolfgang can do with a Wolfgang - play the guitar and show us what you got. I am sure Eddie doesn't really want his kid to be able to show him up, but when your EVH's only kid a lot of people are going to see what you can do with a guitar - not be a bass player for Mark Tremonti.
