At the end of Ryan's performance he pulls a necklace out of his shirt and kisses it. I assume it's the necklace he had made for his partner Eva Mendes.
WOLFGANG VAN HALEN Says His Reconnection With MICHAEL ANTHONY 'Was Long Overdue'
During a recent interview with Loudwire, Wolfgang Van Halen discussed his experience of reconnecting with former VAN HALEN bassist Michael Anthony at MAMMOTH WVH‘s concert in Las Vegas, Nevada on December 8th.
“He’s family. It was long overdue,” Wolfgang said. “I think we had planned that at least since I’ve been touring and it just worked out and it was very wonderful to see him. [I] love that…
David Lee Roth opened “China Town” with one of the most infamous newspaper headlines in history, using it as a springboard to spin his own adventurous yarn about the dangers of the big city. But of course, Dave was still Dave, so when it came to actually singing those words he sounded much more bemused and excited than cautious or scared. And with Eddie Van Halen opening the track with bumblebee tapping, the track made good on the promise of Diamond Dave rejoining Van Halen as it brought back all of the bombast, flash, dexterity and reckless fun of Roth’s original run with the band. And as one of the few newly-written tracks for A Different Kind of Truth (although that remains unclear: Wolfgang Van Halen claimed about half the songs were fresh for the album, but later on Roth insisted nothing was more recent than 1984), “China Town” showed that Eddie and Alex in particular had lost none of their verve- in fact, they hadn’t sounded like they were having this much fun since arguably 1986. And even if nobody could pretend Dave sounded great, he clearly put in the effort and sounded engaged. This was the sort of track that had everything we originally loved about Van Halen, maybe a few years older and just a tiny bit wiser, but the magic was still there.
