This kid is just amazing. Ed and Valerie raised a great one. Humble, down to Earth, and uber talented. Eddie is beaming with pride at this amazing performance. Just wow.
Yes and too bad some in the world ride wolf for not. Wing his father or whAt his father's name does for him . Wolf is his own man and is doing great in his own style of rock
After the announcement I was expecting something significantly more unfinished. That's a very good cover. The voice could be a tad louder, but that's probably more due to the phone microphone than the actual sound in the venue.
@@matthewlevett968 what did gene Simmons say ? I thought he was a fan of Van Halen he actually took Eddie s demo. And tried to get Van Halen signed before anybody.
Nah, he had a master teacher, a house full of music , everyone telling him how great he was and unlimited time and money, all the keys to success without a single obstacle….
Ez there buddy...savant? Look the word up b4 you go around handing out titles like this...look what happened to the words eplc, legend, iconic....they slap those labels on any two bit loser wannabe artist.
idk if he’s been able to watch anything. dave stopped playing and listening to music for MONTHS when kurt died. i can’t imagine him doing anything different with taylor
the loss of taylor is a tragity, however it doesn't have the darkness as was with Kurt...Alanis's epic amount empathy, oh boy! there is an immense humanitarian base character in common as with dave too...we ALL are sympathetic for/to dave, considering.. I'm sure I'm not out of line to iterate such claim..i hope WE ALL SEE HIM RETURN AS PERFORMER/CREATOR/COMPOSER, SOCIAL ICON....W/ TAILOR AND HIM, YOU WOULD SWEAR THAT THEY'RE BROTHERS/SIBLING.
Wolf is the best young rock musician/ singer / songwriter/ composer ,etc., etc., ...in this Era, than any other world wide ! Eddie Van Halen is So Proud of His Son !!! So are All of the Ole Van Halen Fans ,and quiet frankly ,everyone who loves real rock and roll !!! Well done Wolf Van Halen !!!
This young man Wolf Gang Vanhalen is truely amazing 👏 great parents Valerie Bertinalli and Eddie Van Halen my hats off too them for raising an exceptional humanbeing
Dude, rough edges? That was a pretty solid performance. This is the first time I've ever seen wolf sing and perform. I didnt know what to expect, but he sounds awesome.
Wolfgang is a fucking awesomely talented musician and a great human being ! I love that guy and I wish him all the very best . Eddie would be so proud of his son ! ❤️
I was standing right behind the guy recording this video,What a night of pure rock n roll between dirty honey killer than mammoth killer killer, damn shame about Taylor but what a cover WVH.All we’re sad that day but you lifted Taylor a little higher after that version,Thanks❤
This is literally the best cover I have ever heard of this song, and I have heard probably 20 different versions/covers. Rough around the edges my ass this was awesome! Such a great tribute to one of my favorite drummers and rock personalities in general. Music won’t be the same without Taylor and he will be missed. Well done, bravo.
Wolfgang is a wonderful legacy to his parents. I believe we are blessed to have someone to carry the Van Halen name way into the future. That means I have gotten to listen to Van Halen since I was 16 years old and in high school. What a wonderful time to be alive. Now I will listen to Wolfgang Van Halen until I die. Thank you to the Van Halen Family for so many years of incredible entertainment. You have worked hard for us so I say thank you so very much.
I know this has already been said, but "rough edges"?? What a KILLER cover of this song. Wolfgang's performance at the Taylor Hawkins tribute was just amazing. Wolfie is KRAZY talented.
I love seeing all these tributes to Taylor. Most of these bad ass drummers grew up listening to Taylor and playing these songs in their garages. Nicely played. Thank you Mammoth Van Halen for being a class act. Rip Taylor the drummer I've seen most in my life. I'm lucky to have seen him play many many times. Drove 700 miles once.
@@smashmachine1144 FACTS! I just watched his video for Distance and it about killed me! Wolfie was born the same year my dad passed away, so this song will always remind me of my dad. I stayed away from the video, because I knew I would cry, but today I finally watched it. Thanks for the video man! All my best 🙏♥️
I went to a VH concert a while ago...you came out with your Dad's guitar and NAILED 316. I cried the entire time. My friends made fun of me for crying at a VH concert. Thank you for the SWEET memory and thanks for this tribute to Taylor...
Authentic is right. This guy could have easily gotten by riding his father's coattails and just being a jerk and being lazy. Instead, he stepped up and decided to carry on his father's legacy, just in his own way. While I am personally not a fan of MWVH's music- and I am *NOT* saying that it's bad AT ALL, it's just not my personal thing- I absolutely respect these guys to their very core. This videos proves that they only care about the music, being there for the moment, for the crowd, for one another, and for spreading joy. They're doing all the right things and I hope they'll always be known for just that.
Damm this was an amazing tribute. Taylors drumming got me through 10 years of serious depression. Kudos to you guys, I'm positive he was smiling down on this performance. R.I.P. Taylor Hawkins.
Wolfie got some pipes!! As a lifelong FF fan, this is without question, one of the best covers of any of their tracks! Well done, gents! Thank you, and we miss you, Taylor! ❤️🤘🏻⚡️
if I cant watch this without tears streaming down my face, I just cant imagine how Dave and the boys are feeling, so devastated but a fantastic cover to a musical legend thanks Wolfgang wvh
I'd never checked out mammoth which is not a comment on WOLFIES bigger frame fools. It's VH's first name, right? Or rather precious band. But when I first saw this I was very impressed and since the Taylor tribute concert's I am down with Wolfie coz he's a talented man. Don't let those haters get you down dude.
This song has always been extremely emotional for me. The drums and the overall feeling are very moving, and it stirs actual emotions in my head that I can't explain. But, as lame and trite as I know this sounds, it often brings me to tears. It's just very heavy for me, That being said, I never wanted to hear it covered by anyone else, because I was worried that they'd ruin it. Then I saw this. This cover is, in my opinion, as perfect and just mind blowing as any cover of a once in a lifetime song can be. It was a beautiful dedication to Taylor, and these guys played it with such finesse and so much great respect to the original that it hit me the same as if I heard it for the first time. Knowing the reason behind it had me in tears. This is what music is all about. The life, the love, the good times and the bad.
Awesome tribute to Taylor, so thankful I got to see him play live twice. Once in 97 when he was new in the Foo's and they were touring Colour and the Shape. They played this little venue called The Garage because it was literally a garage, with a bar. I got to stand next to Taylor, Pat and Dave. Still the best show I've ever been to.
Wolf and the gang hit it right out of the park! While I was thinking about Taylor throughout this performance, I couldn't help thinking about your dad and what a huge smile he must have on his face watching you from above,-and he did have the best smile in the industry hands down! I first watched Eddie and the band at the US festival in "83 when I was 17. Then I saw him a couple of more times at the San Diego Sports Arena throughout the '80s. What a magical time that was! I hope, that there is a place in the afterlife where Eddie and Taylor are jamming together and all the angels are banging their heads in ecstasy!
This kid is just amazing. Ed and Valerie raised a great one. Humble, down to Earth, and uber talented. Eddie is beaming with pride at this amazing performance. Just wow.
Wolf is so down to earth,and his music is just..... Wow. Hats off to Ed and Val they raised a great,humble,respectful young man.
GOD BLESS YOU WOLFGANG!!!
You took the words outta my mouth
Yes and too bad some in the world ride wolf for not. Wing his father or whAt his father's name does for him . Wolf is his own man and is doing great in his own style of rock
He’s not on reality tv or hanging out in clubs partying and that’s very good thing.
Wow. Just Wow. Amazing voice and tight band. Wolf is the HEART of Rock and Roll these days. RIP Taylor.
"please excuse any rough edges" Are you kidding? that's an amazing cover, and live no less.
Makes rock sound edgier.
They really did great
Dude, right? Played to perfection
After the announcement I was expecting something significantly more unfinished.
That's a very good cover.
The voice could be a tad louder, but that's probably more due to the phone microphone than the actual sound in the venue.
Sounds like they've played it every night on tour good
Goose bumps,. Wolfie's Mammoth ,. Hero,,. I can't find the word's. Thank you!
Man...... they phucking nailed it! Eddie and Taylor are digging this.
ONE OF THE GREATS!
🙏 ✌ ❤ 🎶 🌎 👏 Taylor
WVH …..do you even know how great you are?…. I know your mom and dad are so freaking proud 🥲
Just blown away of the talent of this man!!!
Wolf is a great
musician, Ed would be so proud. A great tribute. What a humble and down to earth guy. Love all wolf's music
Waaaaay better than foo fighters version
Nailed it Wolfie !
@@godbyone looking forward to hearing his 2nd album. He is proof that Rock is not dead. Gene Simmons you are wrong!!
@@matthewlevett968 what did gene Simmons say ? I thought he was a fan of Van Halen he actually took Eddie s demo. And tried to get Van Halen signed before anybody.
@@godbyone gene recently made a statement saying in his view Rock is dead,wolf smashed that statement out of the park with his debut album.
Killer version of "My Hero." Well done, guys.
Stock version dude, be real. Not saying a bad version.... its simply stock, cmon.
I'm not a huge Foos fan but they did a good job on the song. It's more about the tribute though, isn't it?
@@bobabooey4537 Really dude?
@@bobabooey4537 That's usually what covers are..? What's your point?
Foo fighters are ok they're not the best of that guys but hey it is sad to see someone else die of that generation not good brother
I knew WVH is a great guitarist but I had no idea he had those pipes. This is one of the best covers I think I’ve ever heard of this song
And they worked this out in 1 day??!! It's NUTS how great this is! All playing with their souls.
Wolf pipes are tailor-made for this song. Get it?" Taylor" made
Right? I'm actually quite impressed, his vocals were pretty spot on, and the instrumentals were very much on point.
Dude i seen clip of him hittin some serious notes from the band boston
Hes sounds like Dave
So impressed by this humblr talented kid chip off the old block that was awesome rip taylor
What does it say about the Grammys when WVH does a better tribute to a fallen musician than the Grammys ever have in the last 20 years?
Amen!
The Grammys have been dead for years.
Nothing, really. Next
"Just worked it out this morning." Who does that? They absolutely nailed it. Great musicians all around. Wolfie is awesome!
A Van Halen does that. Glad you enjoyed it.
I love "forgive us if it's rough around the edges" and then they nail it! Great Tribute!
It’s waaaay better than foo foos
@@godbyone heyyyy hey its the same version
🤘🏼Wolf🤘🏼💙💙 We miss you Taylor! & Eddie!
First generation of family musicians was epic. This generation is indescribable. Incredible.
OMG. Amazing talent. I can see Eddie saying with total pride and tears in his eyes "That's my boy!"
I agree 100%
Taylor would be proud! Those drums were phenomenal! These guys are rediculously talented.
Wolf is an appreciative savant musically. Eddie is beamiing ear to ear.
Indeed! Not many of these left, i'll be following closely.
Nah, he had a master teacher, a house full of music , everyone telling him how great he was and unlimited time and money, all the keys to success without a single obstacle….
@@mikeadams2354 nailed it!!
Ez there buddy...savant? Look the word up b4 you go around handing out titles like this...look what happened to the words eplc, legend, iconic....they slap those labels on any two bit loser wannabe artist.
Yes bro, he is ❤💯
I could imagine Eddie and Taylor hanging out, watching this performance from above. Eddie would be so proud of his son.
I couldn't agree any more
That or they are both just dead in the ground not hearing or seeing anything.
I really hope Dave sees this at some point because it was incredible.
They were legit supposed to play the same weekend at Rockville. Wolf on Thursday and foo on Sunday. Really sucks:/
oh he's seen it alrite, probably played along, just cause!
idk if he’s been able to watch anything. dave stopped playing and listening to music for MONTHS when kurt died. i can’t imagine him doing anything different with taylor
the loss of taylor is a tragity, however it doesn't have the darkness as was with Kurt...Alanis's epic amount empathy, oh boy! there is an immense humanitarian base character in common as with dave too...we ALL are sympathetic for/to dave, considering.. I'm sure I'm not out of line to iterate such claim..i hope WE ALL SEE HIM RETURN AS PERFORMER/CREATOR/COMPOSER, SOCIAL ICON....W/ TAILOR AND HIM, YOU WOULD SWEAR THAT THEY'RE BROTHERS/SIBLING.
@@sdnrtn333 Dave is much more mature and self-actualized now. I don't think he's going to just walk away from it all.
I cry watching these tributes because life is so short and 50 is too young. Enjoy every second.
Wolf is the best young rock musician/ singer / songwriter/ composer ,etc., etc., ...in this Era, than any other world wide ! Eddie Van Halen is So Proud of His Son !!! So are All of the Ole Van Halen Fans ,and quiet frankly ,everyone who loves real rock and roll !!! Well done Wolf Van Halen !!!
Damn straight!! 🤘🤘🔥🔥
😂😂😂
No, lol, but he’s really amazing.
This young man Wolf Gang Vanhalen is truely amazing 👏 great parents Valerie Bertinalli and Eddie Van Halen my hats off too them for raising an exceptional humanbeing
First couple chords had me in tears, song just has a different meaning now. You guys absolutely nailed it.
Same!! I’m not crying, you’re crying!! 😭😭😭
Song just got a double meaning now with Kurt and Taylor.
@@MissChelle857 def crying!!!
Eewewewe.. ;(. Waaahhhh, so heart warming. These things are important.
I get the chills every time they start the song, it’s so damn good start to finish! 👍🏻💪🏻
Dude, rough edges? That was a pretty solid performance. This is the first time I've ever seen wolf sing and perform. I didnt know what to expect, but he sounds awesome.
Wolfgang is a fucking awesomely talented musician and a great human being ! I love that guy and I wish him all the very best . Eddie would be so proud of his son ! ❤️
he's watching, don't get it screwed up

sounds so fucking great
What an incredible job from Wolfgang and the band 👏🏻 R.I.P. Taylor you will forever be missed 🙏🥁
You 👍 mammoth is awesome 👌 wolfgang is one of my favorite artists from the last twenty years 😊
Thank you! I love that he’s got Eddie’s talent, yet wants to make music his own way, and not be a clone.
What an amazing tribute. Thank you Wolf & Co. RIP Taylor.
Absolutely Beautiful. Your Dad and Taylor are glowing with pride.
Not if they're dead
Wolfgang is a wonderful legacy to his parents. I believe we are blessed to have someone to carry the Van Halen name way into the future.

I just became a fan of Mammoth WVH, would love to see them live! 🤘RIP Taylor
God bless Wolfgang!!!!! Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!! Peace to all!!!!! You are an amazing young man!!!!!!
this sounds like the recording, it's that good of a cover. Absolutely amazing tribute
They did an excellent job, but don't get crazy. It was good though
@@sdc7823 He's right though, dude. The drums are fucking massive, guitar tone is spot on, and the vocals are pitch-perfect. Incredible cover.
@@sdc7823 he literally sounds exactly like him bozo and everything is near pitch perfect if not pitch perfect.
Wow, how did I miss this! Rough edges my ass, you fkn killed it man ❤
Wolfie is the real deal

I seen this band when they opened for guns and roses last August. Great band. I'm sure Taylor and Eddie are jamming together in heaven. Rip
The best cover I have ever seen
I've never heard of this guy/band but gotta be one of the best covers of My Hero. Holy fuck im in tears.
Surely you’ve heard the name Van Halen?
Wolfgang "but what if I screw up " Eddie "not gonna happen " so true.
Wolfie's the best. Such a class act and so authentic. This really kicked ass too!

Great tribute! You guys fucking nailed it!
That kid just keeps impressing me.
GOD bless you Wolfgang
That's a great job on a cover regardless of when they worked it out. That morning or not. Amazing. Great band.
One the best covers I’ve ever heard. Sheesh. Damn you Taylor. So so sad.
Damn big shoes to fill!! You did this one proud!!!♡♡♡♡
EVH is looking down saying you go son, great job boys and love the respect you show....
What a kick ass tribute! So awesome. 💜
This song is bad ass
One of the best versions, with heart.. EPIC..
He's a legit bonafide rocker Wolfgang.
looking forward to many more years of listening to this talented artist .
That was good and fitting. Wolfie is such a good kid.
Gave me chills and a smile! Perfect song!#🎸🥁🤘🏻❤️🔥#RIP#T.H.&EVH
Damm this was an amazing tribute. Taylors drumming got me through 10 years of serious depression. Kudos to you guys, I'm positive he was smiling down on this performance. R.I.P. Taylor Hawkins.
Glad to hear you got outta the depression, I dealt with it too for about 10 years and it’s no joke
I 1000% agree! You just made Taylor smile from Heaven!
💚 ;
Bad Ass. Thank God, Edward VH left us with Wolf.
You nailed it wolfie, Taylor would be very proud...
So many haters out there for WVH and I can't understand them at all. Wolf is an AMAZING artist with a talent that will only get better.
As a foos fan this is one of the most perfect tributes for an amazing man who bought me many years of joy thankyou for this.
Subdivisions is my all time favorite Rush song! Thank you for this video! And Foo Fighters are my all time favorite band!
I honestly feel like this song was jamming at its level 10 as he ascended into rock heaven and went home …..🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Well said ✌🏻
I’m still fighting back tears

Epic, the more I hear this band the better they sound. Top job 👍
This made me cry like a baby. This band just gained a new follower. Much love from South Florida 🤘
Great performance of this song! And love Wolf and his band! Didn’t know he came to Boston! Will have to be on the lookout for future shows. 🎶🎸❤️
He is opening for Alter Bridge at Roadrunner in February
