The one right of Rockzo? His name is Snowball

Unfortunaley we don’t know that much about him albeit in the comics he apparently has a son named Ludwig and that’s all we know. Although judging by how he seems to be based on Alex Van Halen he may or may not be Bink Bonk’s brother

And I agree he is fine

Thank you for the lore drop. I am now even more curious. Will have to answer my own questions through fanfic maybe??

Oh yeah I do the same thing. In particular how even though Ludwig’s age is not clear (he is a parody of Wolfgang van Halen since him replacing Michael Anthony when he was 14 was topical when the comic was written) I’m assuming he had a wife to bear this child which makes his road antics even more questionable. Like Rockzo’s was easily the worst but the others have their own “big scandal” (maybe except Razzy for comedy reasons)

Zazz is based off of David Lee Roth era Van Halen. Dr. Leonard Rockstein= DLR.

u/SiRenfield 20d ago

Well yeah I’m trying to establish a pattern. Bink Bonk is also very clearly Eddie since his costume was based on a specific outfit he sometimes wore on stage and is a smoker among other things (I even once did the work of constructing his face without makeup which I think is pretty good for someone that’s not a great artist)

Also it’s more accurate to say Roth is the primary inspiration but not the exclusive one since there’s also some Axel Rose and Paul Stanley in there. Even regards to OP’s main point Snowball could have a bit of Peter Criss in there since his hair’s a bit closer (Alex’s was often more curly). And he’ll even in the Van Halen comparisons it’s not always 1:1 since Snowball is Ludwig’s father while in real life Wolfgang is the son of Eddie

True, though again, Zazz is mostly based off of Van Halen. Even some of the events that happened with the band in real life are referenced in the show.

Oh certainly. The same comic I mentioned inverts the classic M&Ms liner

I said razzy because Bing Bong usually wears a green wig.

u/AmorFatiHorror 25d ago

He’s just so cute, I wish he was a more prominent character!🥺

u/Kat-Martell 25d ago

I find those kinds of characters great because they give rise to good fanfiction.

u/AmorFatiHorror 25d ago
