Wolfgang Van Halen Joins Mr. Bungle For Cover Of Van Halen ‘Loss Of Control’

Wolfgang Van Halen recently joined Mr. Bungle for a cover of Van Halen‘s “Loss of Control.”

Mike Patton and company welcomed Wolfgang at the Graspop Metal Meeting festival in Belgium on Saturday, June 22nd for the performance of “Loss of Control” from 1980’s Women and Children First.

Mr. Bungle has performed “Loss of Control” several times over the past few years and also included it on their 2021 live album and video The Night They Came Home.

“Had a special guest join us for ‘Loss Of Control’ today @graspopmetalmeeting. Thanks @wolfvanhalen!” Mr. Bungle wrote on Instagram, to which Van Halen responded in a comment, “Thanks for having me, dudes!!!!”

Wolfgang has performed a handful of Van Halen classics live in recent years, covering “Panama,” “On Fire” and “Hot for Teacher” at the 2022 Taylor Hawkins tribute concerts alongside Dave Grohl, Justin Hawkins and Josh Freese.

He joined Foo Fighters again at last month’s Welcome to Rockville to perform “Eruption” and “Hot for Teacher.”
