In an interview with The Oakland Press, late Van Halen guitar legend Eddie Van Halen's son, Wolfgang, was asked if he has started to go through his dad's tape vaults?

Says Wolfgang: "No, that's not gonna happen for a long time. I have no idea what's in there that would be worth releasing; To a certain extent my dad released all the good stuff. Even without the intention to release, I want to archive it properly and digitize it so everything is safe for years to come. It's going to be an incredibly difficult process and a very long process to do properly. I think when a very important musician passes you usually see right away the compilations of unreleased music that maybe should have stayed unreleased, and it just seems like a cash grab to take hold of the moment. I've always disagreed with that, so if we're ever gonna do anything with the vault I want to make sure we do it right and do something that dad would be OK with. So I humbly ask the Van Halen fan base to not hold their breath on this, because you'll pass out."
