Wolfgang leaves Van Halen?

Anyone else see this?
Is this real or one of those satire news websites?

I worked for my dad and with my brother and... we had some rough times and I called them some pretty nasty things (and if anyone ever asked me I would recommend against going to work with family).

However calling you dad a "dick"? On the media?

, VAN-SHAKEUP!!! Wolfgang Van Halen Leaves Group,...

Just IMHO I feel they should have got Micheal Anthony back when the brought back Dave... it was never the original line up even though they booked it as such.

If true, he's got a way with words!

It's satire.

This part in the "article" is what smelt of fish (speaking of Hagar's project):
Quote:
Filling in for Michael Anthony for time being will be legendary actor Ben Gazzara. The 80-year-old actor plays bass saxophone in a side project with Hagar called, ‘Hagazzara”.
Not that there's anything wrong with Ben or his bass sax...

Too bad. Wolfgang has no business in that band in the first place.

My bad... it popped up in my news feed this morning so I am not the only one who was fooled by this.

I don't know about that. I was as down on him replacing Michael Anthony as anyone when it first happened--I couldn't believe that EVH finally made amends with Dave enough for him to re-join the band, only to have Wolfgang replace Anthony

However, when I saw them in 2012 and this past summer, I was surprised--he definitely held his own with the actual playing, and his harmonies were really good. Yes, I would rather see the original line-up, but if given the opportunity to play in a band with your kid, I can't fault them for making the swap.

No one has ever complained about Wolfgang's chops. He can play and sing. When you come home from school and get to jam with EVH and Uncle Al every day, what would you expect? But he has zero stage presence or star power. Mike is a fan favorite and there's just no replacing him. I could live without Roth in VH. He needs to go out and to an Eat 'Em and Smile reunion while EVH and Sammy and Mike patch things up. Wolfgang needs to stick with Tremonti or do his own thing.
