Wolfgang Van Halen is discussing his “Behind The Music” episode.
In a new interview, the bassist said, “I think the people who cared to check it out maybe understand my story a little bit more instead of regurgitating things that they think they know about me. It’s nice to be able to lay my own stuff out there.”
He went on to explain, “It’s tough in this day and age. There’s not really like TV where it’s like the big thing. There are many different kinds of avenues that everything begins to get washed out. But I think for the people who do check it out, yeah, I’m really happy that that’s there for people to understand me a bit more. I think when you don’t tell the story yourself, people fill in the blanks themselves, and they almost always tend to be wrong — or negatively impacting who you are as a person. So I think it was a good opportunity to kind of be, like, ‘Hey, here’s my side.’”
