Michael Strahan and Whit Johnson surprised their co-hosts while live on television during Good Morning America.
Friday’s GMA episode featured Strahan, a regular at the desk, but his co-hosts weren’t Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos.
Instead, Rebecca Jarvis replaced Roberts, and Johnson was there to fill in for Stephanopoulos.
After they previewed the show’s upcoming stories, Johnson said they’d share where to find the “best last-minute gifts for Mother’s Day.”
“I feel like we should say Happy Mother’s Day to all our moms just to get it in,” Jarvis said.
“Indeed, Happy Mother’s Day,” Strahan said, as Jarvis said, “To all the moms out there.”

Wolfgang Van Halen has reacted to a recent rant in which he was verbally assaulted by David Lee Roth for incidents that allegedly occurred when they were both in Van Halen.
Back in January, Diamond Dave posted a video to his YouTube channel that essentially served as a long voice-over monologue insulting Wolfgang. The clip started with Roth suggesting that the late Eddie Van Halen’s son benefitted from nepotism, and then went on to accuse the young musician of trying to throw Roth’s guests out of Van Halen shows. Throughout the entire rant, Roth continuously referred to Wolfgang as “this fuckin’ kid.”
In a new interview with the radio show The Morning X With Barnes & Leslie (as transcribed by Blabbermouth), Wolfgang was asked why he thinks Roth would spew such “vile” venom toward him. He responded, “I guess I’m honored he even thinks about me as much as he seems to.

A memoir by Alex Van Halen titled Brothers is set for an October 22nd release via HarperCollins.
The 384-page hardcover autobiography comes as a surprise given how private Alex has been since the passing of his brother Eddie Van Halen in 2020. HarperCollins will also be publishing a 720-minute audiobook and an ebook edition in addition to the physical hardback. Pre-orders are now ongoing.
Although limited details are currently available, HarperCollins’ preview revealed the working title for the book, “The Brothers Van Halen.” We can surmise that the book will follow Alex and Eddie’s ascent to rock stardom as the drummer and guitar wizard of Van Halen, respectively.
Famously, the two almost had reversed roles, as they would swap instruments as kids before Eddie stuck to guitar for good. The seeds of Van Halen were planted when the brothers’ formed their early band Mammoth in 1972 prior to teaming up with...

The long-running feud between Van Halen frontmen continues on with David Lee Roth now declaring that “Sammy Hagar was abducted by aliens and he was sex probed.”
Diamond Dave delivered the verbal assault on the Red Rocker in a new video dubbed “The Ballad of Popsicle Sam,” in which we hear Dlr’s voice over a 25-minute slideshow of new black & white photos of himself.
To backtrack, Hagar claimed in 2011 that he was once abducted by aliens, telling MTV at the time, “Aliens were plugged into me. It was a download situation. This was long before computers or any kind of wireless. There weren’t even wireless telephones. Looking back now, it was like, ‘Fuck, they downloaded something into me!’ Or they uploaded something from my brain, like an experiment. ‘See what this guy knows.’”

David Lee Roth has shared a newly recorded version of Van Halen’s monster hit “Jump.” The singer laid down the track during a 2022 session that has also yielded new renditions of other Van Halen classics.
The recording took place on May 3rd, 2022, at the Henson Recording Studio in Hollywood, California. The track features Al Estrada (guitar), Ryan Wheeler (bass), and Francis Valentino (drums).
Previous songs that have come out of that session include “Unchained,” “Everybody Wants Some!!,” “You Really Got Me,” “Dance the Night Away,” “Panama,” and “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love.”
It’s unclear why Diamond Dave chose to record new versions of these Van Halen classics. Perhaps he set out to prove that his voice was still in good shape, after receiving criticism about his live performances in recent years.
Earlier this year, fellow former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar declared, “[Roth] doesn’t care about singing.

When it comes to the relationship between David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar, the usual question is “Why can’t this be love?” However, it looks like there may be a truce among the long-feuding Van Halen frontmen, as Diamond Dave has seemingly accepted the Red Rocker’s invite to join him onstage.
Hagar recently announced the 2024 “Best of All Worlds Tour” (tickets available here), featuring an all-star backing band of Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani, and Jason Bonham. The summer outing will see Hagar and company focusing largely on Van Halen material.
Following the tour announcement, Hagar told Howard Stern, “We’re gonna invite every musician in every town. … Other guitar players, we’ll get them involved; other singers, get ’em involved. If Alex Van Halen wants to jump out — if David Lee Roth wants to come out and join us, come on motherf**ker, you are welcome. This is about Van Halen.

Former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony was an eyewitness to the violent winds that brought the Maui wildfires through the now-decimated town of Lahaina.
Anthony was vacationing with his wife in nearby Kaanapali when the wildfires began to sweep across the western portion Hawaiian island. The bassist shared a video they shot while driving through the streets of Lahaina mere hours before it was engulfed in flames.
The footage is eerie, to say the least, as Anthony’s vehicle creeps through the old Maui town. It captures the soon-to-be-destroyed businesses and residences still standing as palm trees bend and sway in the high winds, which start to rip shingles off rooftops. Along with the clip, he posted the following on Instagram on Friday (August 11th):

This The Walking Dead: Dead City review contains spoilers.
The Walking Dead: Dead City Episode 3
My initial comparison between The Walking Dead: Dead City and Escape from New York was, at first glance, only surface level. There are similarities, clearly, but I had no idea that The Croat (Zeljko Ivanek) was having gladiator fights in a non-union store-brand equivalent of the Octagon. Now it’s clear that Dead City is a riff on Escape from New York, and as far as things to pattern your show after, you could do worse than John Carpenter. He’s the master of genre flicks, after all; for all the emphasis on human drama and soap opera emotions, The Walking Dead universe is a survival horror universe at its very core, and touches like this show a willingness to embrace that.
Of course, you have to have something in between all the special effects and action sequences.

AMC's The Walking Dead universe has been expanding quickly in recent years.
With the conclusion of the main series in 2022 after 11 seasons, many fans desired to continue the journeys of their favorite characters.
There were many reservations when Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) were announced to be headlining The Walking Dead: Dead City.
Maggie and Negan's story ended bittersweetly as they both agreed to co-exist.
As a result, The Walking: Dead City's existence would probably kickstart one of the most polarizing alliances on TV.
Thankfully, The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 1 delivers a compelling tale that ushers in an exciting next chapter for The Walking Dead franchise.
All six episodes were provided for critics, highlighting AMC's confidence that fans will connect with this next chapter.
The series picks up several years after The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 24, with Maggie on a quest to New York City to locate her son.

Are you ready to experience the apocalypse from New York City?
AMC went public with the official trailer on Thursday for the new spinoff, and it looks like a nice change of pace.
The teaser trailer that premiered earlier this month hinted at the fraught relationship between Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).
Maggie is in New York on a mission to save her son, and it's sure to be a dramatic experience.
The trailer teases the people they'll encounter, and let's just say the new spinoff is making full use of the new setting.
"Dead City follows Maggie and Negan traveling into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan long ago cut off from the mainland," the logline teases.
"The crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror."
The series also stars Gaius Charles as Perlie Armstrong,...

The hatred between Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) runs deep.
That much we learned throughout their arc on The Walking Dead.
After making peace with one another at the end of The Walking Dead Season 11, it seems the pair are more at odds than ever, a couple of years on from their parting of ways.
Dead City follows Maggie and Negan traveling into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan long ago cut off from the mainland.
The crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror.
Maggie's journey to New York finds her searching for her son, Hershel, but the status of her relationship with Negan remains up in the air.
It's hard to imagine them ever being true friends, but it wouldn't be surprising if they joined forces for this mission to save Hershel.

Eddie Van Halen was in the process of reuniting Van Halen’s classic lineup for a farewell tour before his health took a turn for the worse and he eventually passed away in October 2020. The revelation comes from Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, who met with the rock legend in 2019.
While speaking with Sirius Xm (as transcribed by Brave Words) about Extreme’s recent comeback single “Rise” and the band’s forthcoming album, Six, Bettencourt recalled a surprise visit from Eddie during the recording of the LP. Bettencourt was in a studio laying down the solo to “Rise” when he got a call from Extreme singer and onetime Van Halen vocalist Gary Cherone, who told him to get back to his home as soon as he can.
When Bettencourt arrived back at his house, Cherone was there with none other than Eddie Van Halen. The rock icon proceeded to play the...

Maggie and Negan's story continues on The Walking Dead: Dead City and the series will get an earlier launch at Tribeca Festival.
The Knocturnal reports that the first episode will launch this summer ahead of its launch on AMC at an event attended by the cast and creatives.
Twd: Dead City promises a very different sandbox for the characters.
The series has mostly stayed away from the big cities, but Maggie and Negan will be out of their element as they make their way to New York City.
There has been a lot of skepticism about how much story is left to tell for Maggie and Negan.
They hated each other after Negan's actions on The Walking Dead, but they grew to tolerate one another.

David Lee Roth returned to the live stage last Thursday (March 23rd) in Las Vegas for a performance of Van Halen’s “Panama” with all-star cover band Royal Machines.
The show took place at the Michelob Ultra Arena at the Mandalay Bay as part of a corporate event for Home Depot sales managers. Comprised of such musicians as Billy Morrison, Mark McGrath, Donovan Leitch Jr., Chris Chaney and Josh Freese, Royal Machines were also joined by Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens for this show. The group gave attendees a big surprise when Dlr took the stage donning a bright yellow suit.
The Van Halen singer guided the group through a rousing rendition of “Panama,” using the downtime between verses to toss in his signature ad libs. During the drop out, Dlr worked the enthusiastic crowd of Home Depot employees, asking: “Are we having a good time so far?!”

Ex-Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony has revealed that he’s formed a new band with Bon Jovi guitarist Phil X and current Aerosmith touring drummer John Douglas. There’s also a “really cool singer” on board, but Anthony is choosing to keep that a mystery for now.
Anthony, who’s currently the bassist for Sammy Hagar and The Circle, opened up about the project in a new interview on SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation with Eddie Trunk. When asked about his career trajectory if Hagar were to retire from performing, Anthony let the cat out of the bag.
“Well, I wasn’t going to mention anything about it,” Anthony said [as transcribed by Blabbermouth], “but there is a little side project thing that I’ve kind of been speaking to some people, and might be doing a couple of things with. I don’t wanna get ahead of myself and mention too much, but it...

A little over a week ago, we spoke with Sammy Hagar about his new album Crazy Times, which he cut with Nashville producer Dave Cobb and his longtime band the Circle. “It’s a concept record,” Hagar said. “It’s about how I feel about everything that has gone on since the pandemic started.”
Near the end of the interview, the conversation inevitably turned toward Van Halen and the possibility of a tribute concert to Eddie Van Halen featuring all the surviving members of the band. A few days later,...

Nashville producer Dave Cobb is best known for his work with country icons like Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile, and Jason Isbell. But when he was a kid in the Eighties, he listened mostly to hard rock bands like Bad Company, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and Van Halen. He was 11 when Sammy Hagar took over as lead singer of Van Halen, and their early albums together left a huge impression on him.

Guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani has been laying down out-of-this-world riffs since his first album, Not of This Earth. His instrumental albums, like Surfing with the Alien and Shockwave Supernova, are in a whole different dimension from commercial sonics, and still sell enough to go platinum and gold. But it is his 1998 album Crystal Planet which contains all the elements for an epic story.
Crystal Planet, the new sci-fi comic from Opus Comics, was written by Satriani and Tony Lee, and drawn by Richard Friend. The five-issue series is a “space odyssey where Satchel Walker, a man out of time, finds himself caught between desperate factions as they battle for resources in the perilous orbit of a dying star.” The adventure is all about how the power and emotion of music can restore harmony to the timestream.

Rather, that’s the first thing I say to someone who possibly is but probably isn’t Eddie Van Halen. I mean, who am I kidding? There’s no way the real Eddie Van Halen’s email address should be available for anyone to find in a public database — and it sure as shit shouldn’t be an America Online account.
