THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION IS ... Would Wolfgang Van Halen be even remotely popular, if Pops was still alive?
No. Wolfgang is an excellent musician, but outside of a few tunes his music is nothing special. It's the VH name which gets the attention and I suspect the clock is ticking on that.

Re: The moment_________went to shit as a band?
Agree. I couldn't believe how crappy the movie was. The solo records weren't much better.
I was a huge Kiss fan starting with Kiss Alive and by 1977-78 the band was on top of the world.
Yet, by 1980 they had become a joke.

I agree with those who feel you should replace him. You're 40 and in a band. You should be having fun. If you're not either quit or get a new bass player.

I wouldn't be surprised if Wolf has to spend his own (or his father's...) money to keep this band afloat. The novelty of being EVH son is over.
