When the usually reclusive members of Van Halen show up in public that makes headlines. When a member jumps on stage with another band, it becomes no. 2 in our list of the Top 11 Music Surprises of 11. Here it is: (hennemusic) Fans got a big surprise at the Alter Bridge show back in January at the House Of Blues in West Hollywood: Van Halen was in the house and jammed with the band.
Wolfgang Van Halen sat in on drums for a song while Eddie watched the show from side stage. Artistdirect.com's glowing review of the show noted, "For "One Day Remains," Wolfgang Van Halen stepped behind [drummer Scott] Phillips' kit while Creed touring guitarist, virtuoso Eric Friedman, ripped an impenetrable solo with [Mark] Tremonti."
Friedman later posted to Twitter (@IEROCKII ): "My Mom sat next to Eddie Van Halen all night & had no idea who he was..hahah Classic. She got really embarrassed when she found out!" Find out who else joined them
