AceShowbiz - David Lee Roth has launched into a public rant against Wolfgang Van Halen. The founding member and lead singer of Van Halen ripped Eddie Van Halen and Valerie Bertinelli's son in an audio clip shared on YouTube.
The video begins with a fake interview that refers to Wolfgang as Jesus Christ as he mocks him for benefitting from nepotism. "This f**kin' kid! He's complaining the entire tour like I'm not paying enough attention to him on stage," the 69-year-old argued.
"I'm giving him the best, everything I've got, in front of twenty, thirty thousand people at a clip," he continued. "And he's complaining to everybody around me - the business manager, the security guy, the clothing lady - 'Dave's not paying enough attention to me.' "
David alleged that Wolfgang once kicked out his guests at one of the group's shows in New York City. "This schlemiel kid," he fumed, calling his former bandmate a "fool" in Yiddish, "has commandeered a couple of monkeys to go in back, behind my back, over to the side of the stage and throw out these two great dames that I invited to be my guests to the show."
According to David, the women were more than just his special guests. "In fact, you aren't gonna believe this s**t. This f**kin' kid, what he doesn't know is that these two dames work for the accounting firm that represent him, not me," he elaborated. "But as usual, he, just like his uncle and his uncle's brother, stiffed them for tickets."
"He's teaching me a lesson," the rocker, who is known for his wild and energetic stage persona, further noted. "What this f**king kid doesn't know? They're carrying the paychecks for all 82 people on the road crew."
