The name helps but his voice with the style of music is what drives it home. At first I was hesitant just because of the fact that his dad was one of the biggest most famous artists but when I didn't put 2 and 2 together on the name of the band, and found out after, game changed
This kid is od'ing on talent!! Freakin Amazing. Alot of celeb kids are talentless walk ons because of their famous parents. NOT WOLFGANG VH...You are a BADASS!! I can see why your parents are proud and amazed with you. I'm sure your dad is Beaming.
I 100% agree !! You hit the nail on the head about other celebrity kids being talentless. Like Jane Carrey, Jim Carrey's daughter, when she auditioned for American Idol years ago when Randy Jackson was a judge. She couldn't sing her way out of a paper sack, but because of who her dad is and the power he had at that time ( I won't elaborate on that at all) to ruin their careers, they gave her 3 yesses just to fulfill the orders and to keep the big targets off their backs, and now it's the public's problem to vote yes or no. In Hellyweird, it's LUCY who runs the show and no one else. 👍
I myself am 21 and Wolfgangs father inspired me to start learning guitar, and Wolfgang definitely has his father's influence in his music, but you can hear that he's not copying by any means, it's his own style which is awesome. People who say that this isn't music just have no taste.
@@hinjurock70 well, those bands were all from very different eras. Zeppelin are pretty epic indeed, and so were the first four VH albums, but I personally think Metallica is just alright, and I don't know a lot of songs by Tool except for Sober, and Schism. I'm not saying Metallica and Tool aren't epic, I personally just don't listen to them all that much. everybody's allowed to have their own opinions on certain artists, albums and songs. don't be one of those gatekeepers that people hate in the music scene
Imagine how deeply this young man loved his father and how proud he is of his dad and to carry the torch for his family name is a beautiful thing ,I hope he does very well but no matter what he makes his dad proud from heaven each day ❤
I don't think Wolfie will ever have to worry about any lead singer issues the way his dad did. Goes back to the old saying; When you want the job done and you want it done right, you do it yourself.
@@emalphrus1 Exactly. A lot of generic ones churning out the same shit over and over again. WVH sticks to what he does best and I hope he continues to grow.
His amazing musicianship reminds me of Dave Grohl writing and playing every instrument on the first Foo Fighters album. He has such amazing vision and musicality. I've been making my way through the album and I really hope that he gets his first grammy. He deserves it.
I thought the same. I seem to recall Wolf saying Foo Fighters were a big influence & he'd love to tour with them. I hope he gets to recognize that dream .
Exactly. He “Grohled” the album, and oddly, Dave won the Grammy, but I think Wolf deserved it. I LOVE this song (and the whole album). Got to see Mammoth WVH a few months ago, and Wolf covered “Them Bones” (so did Jerry Cantrell in May, but it’s his song). Seeing AIC tomorrow, and hoping for a “Them Bones” hat trick for my video catalogue. \m/
I am 70 but I still listen and love a variety of great music and this cd goes in the cd player first, followed by Godsmack, a little Halestorm and last but not least, Some Myles Kennedy !!! You're never too old for Rock and Roll !!!
Man go see him if at all possible. I saw Mammoth back in October with the exception of Frank. They were all awesome but naturally Wolfgang is the star ⭐️ of the show. He sounds even better live and you can feel the music in your soul.
Kid, I watched your Dad in live shows all through my youth and a few times as a middle aged man. I saw you on tour with him. I never saw a father more proud of his son. You are every bit the musician he was, and a better lyricist. I hope you have the career he did and then some.
I feel like Wolfs music is much modern sounding and sounds nothing like his fathers band. Kudos to him for establishing his own thing. Sounds great & i wish him much success in all he does , he's such a talented musician. You know his dad is smiling down on him.
@@rogerdaly6326 Now that's what I'm talking about. Sounds unique and modern. Of course it would. Really glad you said this because while I adored his father and VH, I adore Wolfie for the strength and love he has and the style of music he is playing. It's all him and the band Mammoth!
@@LoriCurl Thanks for the support. It's my out most having you here, thanks for your support you have been giving me all these years, I won't be here if not for you my lovely fan.
I'm Just Thinking of What to Say..in Awe is Right.. I'm Thinking About All that Led Up to This Song..Wolf Has Big Shoes to Fill,But It's Probably Not Right to Try to Fill Them..In a Way Lots of People's Hopes & Dreams Are Invested in this Kid..One of America's Favorite Sons We Were Inspired By His Parents & Obviously they Did a Good Job.
Awesome voice right????!!!! I fucking love it. The lyrics on this track are so aligned with my life currently it's crazy. I love it when i discover music that sounds great then hits home as well. It makes life beautiful
I'm 60 and pretty much a classic rocker I do have a wide variety of music I can't remember the last time I have bought any new cds or listened to any of today's music just don't care for it until Wolfie came out with this album this great stuff can't wait till he has the second one out so I can buy it you guys in my opinion have the best music out there now and hopefully will be able to to see you guys live I live in Connecticut keep on on rockin Wolfie .
I heard this today as Wolf was guest hosting Classic Rock on Sirius. He played this song and said he was always kinda embarrassed to introduce his own song. This song is unbelievably kick ass. I’ve been singing it in my head ever since so I had to come to RUclips to play it loud! Great job Mammoth! You guys rock!
I love that he's not trying to imitate his father. You can definitely hear his father's influence on Wolf but it's still entirely Wolfgang Van Halen and not "Eddie's kid". Well done. Love all of it so far!
Not only is he insanely talented in all areas of music, he has a great personality. Acting and talk shows are a must! He definitely got all of each parents talents.
Saw Mammoth WVH last night in Council Bluffs Iowa, they opened for Halestorm. Mammoth almost (but not quite) stole the show, imo. Terrific band, great show.
Lzzy is some stiff competition. I saw Mammoth WVH with the “young guns” tour, and Wolf’s band rocked the House of Blues. Wolf is a funny, upbeat front man. Damn, you’re lucky to have Halestorm with Mammoth WVH. Arejay is fun to watch, and so is the chemistry between Lzzy & Joe (poor Josh gets outshined).
I heard this song on a little rock station in Seaside Oregon, pulled over to Shazam it, then saved it on here. Such a cool old school rock style. Great job young Mr. Van Halen.
EDDIE is all around us. Wolfgang is surrounded by his dads legacy, spirit, the industry, all the musicians that are inspired by Eddie. The relationship is awesome. Wolfgang can really write some great songs, and very, very original.
We were at the concert this was filmed at. AMAZING! Hearing it live and bouncing along and just feeling the energy was so epic. His Dad was watching from the wings with the biggest smile on his face. LOVE it and can't wait to see you next time you're in town.
@@stoplookingformyname3721 Nepotism: "the practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives or friends, especially by giving them jobs". No one "gave" WVH anything, He took what was his.
Apparently, Johnny is just jealous that he has no talent and had to take it out on someone who actually can play every instrument in his band. I'm so sorry you had such a poor relationship with your ancestors and all they were able to give you was sadness and poor manners
Dang fella's all of you carried this song through to the end with nobody getting weak or fading. Hat tip to the gentleman on the bass. Damn fine work. The bottom end of this song is fat and loud, perfectly timed throughout. Having a bass player that stays solid and in pocket for everybody else to rely on is tragically overlooked. Hard as hell to find players like you young man. 👍🏼
I will be honest wife sent me this vid and I didn't know who they were but she knows how much I love music. And after I heard this song I had to hear the full album. It instantly took me back to the late 90s but it was way more vibrant made me flow with joy. Then she told me it was Van Halen kid and my Jaw just Dropped. In my mind I'm like this is better than Van Halen.
This dude has been nothing but impressive as hell since stepping outside of VH. Guy is jam packed with talent. Can play anything and.... can sing. He's like his dad, uncle, and Roth all rolled into one package. Van Halen lives.... WOLFGANG van halen.
Out of all of the guitar masterpieces that Edward Van Halen gifted the music world with... who would have thought, that the greatest one, would be his son? We are bearing witness to the carrying on, of a guitar legacy. Edward Van Halen has left this life...but the Van Halen legend is just opening up a new chapter. Wolf Van Halen is the real deal.
@@stoplookingformyname3721 if Eddie Van Halen said Wolfgang was talented enough to join one of the most iconic rock bands of all time at the age of 15 or 16 then people can bet on it that he’s legit talented. You can only ride coattails for so long before you stand up on your own and he’s standing tall.
I'm two years late but I'm in LOVE with Wolf's music! My dad introduced me to Mammoth recently and it's almost exclusively what I've been listening to on repeat. I'm so impressed that Wolf did all the instrumentals and the vocals. This song specifically is my #1 favorite of all his tracks.
Hell yeah Wolfie , you will indeed carry on where your Dad left off , only you'll be something different but just as epic and amazing .This is one F**KIN killer song . Eddie's looking down and saying , "That's my boy right there" , a chip off the ol block!
LYRICS ❤ We tried so hard It's time to let it go We've tried so hard It's time to let you know What would you do if I already knew? How do you sleep at night? What would you say if I threw this away? Is it really worth being right? Will you wake me? I'm falling down But I've never felt so alive Will you hate me When it's all done? 'Cause I've never felt more alive We tried so hard Who knows where we'll go? We cried so hard But will it really show? What would you do if I already knew? How do you sleep at night? What will you say when I throw this away? I've never felt more alive Will you wake me? I'm falling down But I've never felt so alive Will you hate me When it's all done? 'Cause I've never felt more alive And I'll be there when you fall down Down, down We'll all be there to watch you crawl And I was there when there was no one else But where were you when it went to hell? Wake me (wake me, wake me) 'Cause I've never felt more alive Will you hate me When it's all done? 'Cause I've never felt more alive Wake me Alive Wake me Alive Will you wake me? Alive 'Cause I've never felt more alive
God Bless you Wolfie....you are an AMAZING musician, singer,songwriter, and one thing THAT REALLY STANDS OUT OF YOU......... You are a pure class act Brother, and we love you for it. Eddie & Mom couldn't have raised a better person...
I remember being 10yrs old in 1996 and discovering my dad's cassettes and listening on a Walkman. Vanhalen, foreighner, and ZZ Top were my favorites...van halen being #1. Here I am, about to be 36 and going through the worst hell of my life and this blessing of a man is putting out music that gives me goose bumps. First goose bumps I've had since 2009....before I got caught up in trying to numb myself.
It's so great to see and hear real rock again. I was born in 1951 and have lived through the evolution of rock........I went to many concerts through the 60"s and 70"s Doors, janis, Jimi and everything in between. Even Bloodrock (DOA) This kid is the REAL DEAL. Multi instrumentalist singer writer......all of it. Live long and prosper Wolfie
I love this - and yeah - stand alone musician this guy. You may have the last name but you have owned your own sound. Plays everything, sings like WTH...loving every song on this album.
Wolfgang is definitely amazing I love his music and talent, keep Rocking Wolfgang ,I to am a life long VanHalen fan you're making your mother and father proud.
I was at work on my lunch break at night since I work at night and I was in my car eating and this song came on and I was like who is thissss??? And I asked Siri who sings this song and wolf ofcourse popped up! And I was remembering that he sings distance which is my favorite song by him! Now this one!
He really worked hard with his father and listened to him…. He is really showing what an amazing person he is!!!!! He stayed in the shadows until his Dad was gone then HE SHOWED UP!!!❤❤❤❤
Wow!!! Just wow!!! You are amazingly talented Wolfe. You have a style all your own and your great. Your dad is definitely smiling at you from up above and I can understand why he was so proud of you. I can continue to rock on to your music just like I did your dads 💕💞
@@stoplookingformyname3721 it’s so disrespectful to comment on someone’s weight so I’m guessing your perfect right??? And in my opinion he’s got his dads gift and considering what he’s been through and as close as he was to his dad having someone like you make fun of him while he’s following in his dads footsteps is just messed up. If you don’t have anything good to say about anyone don’t say anything at all. So keep your negative comments to your self
@@cherylh5633 typical woman that doesn't know what she's talking about. go wash the clothes and scrub the kitchen floor and then start getting dinner ready
It's a great thing when your father can influence you from a young age and you make your father proud. My father did it with aviation. He made me a great pilot and a aviation historian in my own right. Being good at what you do is very important.
Always the mark of a great band, I've been told. The band produces albums to promote their live shows. Example: AC/DC. Example #2: funny little band called Van Halen.
Hey Wolfgang, you're a real example of carrying on your dad's legacy with your own shine, not living in his shadow. You're such a great artist, your talent goes beyond the Van Halen name. Your albums are some of my favorites, especially the second one-I actually listened to every song and loved them all. Congratulations and keep blessing us with your music!
I had the pleasure of seeing Mammoth when they performed before Alter Bridge. I was not disappointed. This song is so beautiful and hearing it live gave me goosebumps. Truly amazing.
@@ashtonmccormick4043 I'll bet that's right. I'd love to see that bill. I'm glad you had the opportunity. I dig Halestorm too. But AB and Wolf's stuff really resonate with me.
I love this, he is brilliant. It took the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert for me to discover him, but he is awesome. Looking forward to learning more about his music!
I won tickets on a radio contest to see Mammoth and Dirty Honey in Kansas City last year. It was a really good show. My boyfriend and I were especially impressed with Wolfgang's voice. We had seen him perform once before in 2007 in K.C. with the VanHalen reunion tour. Was impressed with his guitar playing, especially since he was so young at the time. Had the pleasure of seeing EVH 3 times live. He would be so proud of his son and his accomplishments. Keep up the good work WVH!
Why in the hell am I not hearing this everywhere? This song is really sound. He did a more than fine job of crafting this. If this was my piece, I would be really looking at the reasons this hasn't produced awards. Something odd this is not blowing up the industry. 🤔
Just saw Mammoth on Tuesday in Milwaukee. They were amazing. Sounded spectacular. Since then I can’t get enough of them, been listening to everything available. Wolf beams with talent. I loved his dad when I was kid and it is easy to love Wolf and I just got familiar with them. Will def see them again!
![Digital Circus Episode 4 [TRAILER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/abZtsmMUbJo/mqdefault.jpg)
I've been really impressed by Wolfgang's songwriting ability. He's definitely out of daddy's shadow and casting a long one of his own.
Absolutely
A long, wide one.
@@stoplookingformyname3721 Wow, "tell me you're a hater without telling me you're a hater" alert.
The name helps but his voice with the style of music is what drives it home. At first I was hesitant just because of the fact that his dad was one of the biggest most famous artists but when I didn't put 2 and 2 together on the name of the band, and found out after, game changed
@@stoplookingformyname3721 cause hes great
Somewhere on a cloud sits his dad with a big smile on his face and sings along to his son's songs.
This kid is od'ing on talent!! Freakin Amazing. Alot of celeb kids are talentless walk ons because of their famous parents. NOT WOLFGANG VH...You are a BADASS!! I can see why your parents are proud and amazed with you. I'm sure your dad is Beaming.
And on top of all that, from everything I've seen, he just seems like a well grounded, genuinely good guy.
A gifted Father... An Inspirational Mother!!! x
I 100% agree !! You hit the nail on the head about other celebrity kids being talentless. Like Jane Carrey, Jim Carrey's daughter, when she auditioned for American Idol years ago when Randy Jackson was a judge. She couldn't sing her way out of a paper sack, but because of who her dad is and the power he had at that time ( I won't elaborate on that at all) to ruin their careers, they gave her 3 yesses just to fulfill the orders and to keep the big targets off their backs, and now it's the public's problem to vote yes or no. In Hellyweird, it's LUCY who runs the show and no one else. 👍
@@richardjeffreys2437 EVH was gifted, no doubt. But, Don't Forget he also worked very, very hard honing his craft.
?
I am a stage hand slash camera man and I met Wolfgang great human and humble along with his talent . awesome
I grew up listening to Van Halen. I’m an old 56 year old mom. Gosh it’s awesome to hear you. Carry on your dads legacy. You are amazing!!!!
I'm 70 now and Wolfie just blew my socks off!

Way to go Velma Uncle Eddies Lil Boy Goes BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You And me Im 63 and still FUCKIN ROCKIN!!!!!!!!
What a cool song! So happy for Wolfgang!
hi
lt's be honest, every song on the album is absolutely epic for multiple reasons. this one in particular is pretty particularly amazing
@@hinjurock70 well, those bands were all from very different eras.

Wolf, you are one of the bright lights during this pandemic, for me as an older person. Love your music and amazed at your talent.
He has his dads genes up 58 and I absolutely love his music
I totally agree! He is such a blessing.
He's amazing on his own playing every instrument. Our age had a GREAT soundtrack. Carry on Wolf.
Great music, but what pandemic?
me.. 57/f just jam-crying .. so many layers... this track is "love at first listen".

Kick ass
Amen

Amen. 🙏
I just discovered this song. Who is his father?
This is the gold that needs to be on the stations. Not all the other crap.
If only!
I don't think Wolfie will ever have to worry about any lead singer issues the way his dad did. Goes back to the old saying; When you want the job done and you want it done right, you do it yourself.
Probably my favorite song from the album. Just so feel good. A lot of hard rock bands nowadays need to take note.
Truth!
ROCK ON Brother Wolf.....
Top guys!!!
...a lot of hard rock bands from the past, oh... 20 or 30 years need to take note.

I'll keep rockin as long as you keep rockin 💯
OMG ME TOO!
Yes! Amen to that!!
I’m sure he will be thrilled to see all us old fans in audience that had his Dads poster on our walls 😂
It's great to hear some major chords, layers, harmonies and positivity in a hard-driving song!
AGREE!
I see guitar picks being thrown into the audience - the torch has passed. ♥
This is what you call "instant classic." Just fan-freaking-tastic from beginning to end. Now I *really* want to see it live!
Man go see him if at all possible. I saw Mammoth back in October with the exception of Frank. They were all awesome but naturally Wolfgang is the star ⭐️ of the show. He sounds even better live and you can feel the music in your soul.
I F**king love this❤❤❤ but i wouldnt expect anything different, love every song hes put out. Wolf definitely has IT!
You mean Van-freaking-tastic? Sorry, couldn't help myself. Lol
Going to see him in Toronto, can't fuckin wait
I used to write songs like this when I was 12, why not listen to my
music?
His pipes are crazy . I know his chops on any instrument are top notch but the vocals are unbelievable
One great thing Eddie left us all. That is Wolf. Thank you Eddie.

A new Van Halen for this new generation. Carry on young man.
May the Lord bless you and keep you 🙏 May His face SHINE upon you and give you PEACE 🙏
Your dad rocked my world as a teen. And now... lookie at you.
Hell yeah, kid, you're an incredible musician and singer!
This song is EVERYTHING 🔥🤘💕
Go Go Go Wolf! The complicated instrumentation with great catchy hooks of these songs are so good. Keep it going Wolfie!
This song is a breath of fresh air.. it gives me hope to move forward in life and drown out the negative. I love it!
Why it tonight the first I ever heard this band!? Obsessed ❤
I find myself playing this one over and over...your forever friend and fan, Lynn
Out of all of the guitar masterpieces that Edward Van Halen gifted the music world with... who would have thought, that the greatest one, would be his son?
We are bearing witness to the carrying on, of a guitar legacy. Edward Van Halen has left this life...but the Van Halen legend is just opening up a new chapter. Wolf Van Halen is the real deal.
I think Valerie had something to do with that too
So true
Wolf has been blessed with both of his parents gifts...... He will carry both of his parents gifts and hopefully we’ll all enjoy that ride together...
Well fucking said. Well said.
@@suehaynie5054 Pretty sure she had way more to do with it.
Big props to Jonathan Jourdan on guitar and backup vocals from the band "To Whom It May" a band everyone needs to check out.
Nice build up and great harmonies. Kicks ass! Can't wait to see what you do next.
some say he's not that talented he's mainly just living off nepotism
@@stoplookingformyname3721 if Eddie Van Halen said Wolfgang was talented enough to join one of the most iconic rock bands of all time at the age of 15 or 16 then people can bet on it that he’s legit talented. You can only ride coattails for so long before you stand up on your own and he’s standing tall.
@@gigitonsvajv well there's a lot of people that don't like his music .
@@stoplookingformyname3721 that happens with any musician. So to each his own. 🤷🏼♀️ I think the haters are just jealous.
@@gigitonsvajv dude obviously you're like a Wolfgang fanboy. If that's what you want it's fine but the real Van Halen is where the music's at
I'm two years late but I'm in LOVE with Wolf's music! My dad introduced me to Mammoth recently and it's almost exclusively what I've been listening to on repeat. I'm so impressed that Wolf did all the instrumentals and the vocals. This song specifically is my #1 favorite of all his tracks.
This artist needs to do the next Super Bowl halftime show! Yes, he is that talented!!!
I heard this song on the way to work and fell in love with it.
Same
This kid's voice is amazing. Can't wait to see him live
Seen him a few nights ago... Just as good if not better live👍
Hell yeah Wolfie , you will indeed carry on where your Dad left off , only you'll be something different but just as epic and amazing .This is one F**KIN killer song . Eddie's looking down and saying , "That's my boy right there" , a chip off the ol block!
Enjoy sir…looks like u derived some of ur dad’s talent….gr8 tune….
I can't stop listening to this
LYRICS ❤
We tried so hard
It's time to let it go
We've tried so hard
It's time to let you know
What would you do if I already knew?
How do you sleep at night?
What would you say if I threw this away?
Is it really worth being right?
Will you wake me?
I'm falling down
But I've never felt so alive
Will you hate me
When it's all done?
'Cause I've never felt more alive
We tried so hard
Who knows where we'll go?
We cried so hard
But will it really show?
What would you do if I already knew?
How do you sleep at night?
What will you say when I throw this away?
I've never felt more alive
Will you wake me?
I'm falling down
But I've never felt so alive
Will you hate me
When it's all done?
'Cause I've never felt more alive
And I'll be there when you fall down
Down, down
We'll all be there to watch you crawl
And I was there when there was no one else
But where were you when it went to hell?
Wake me (wake me, wake me)
'Cause I've never felt more alive
Will you hate me
When it's all done?
'Cause I've never felt more alive
Wake me
Alive
Wake me
Alive
Will you wake me?
Alive
'Cause I've never felt more alive
God Bless you Wolfie....you are an AMAZING musician, singer,songwriter, and one thing THAT REALLY STANDS OUT OF YOU.........
You are a pure class act Brother, and we love you for it. Eddie & Mom couldn't have raised a better person...
Too many great tunes on this album to call my favorite, but this ranks in the top 5 for me. Keep on rockin', Wolf.
I could listen to this on repeat forever!
I remember being 10yrs old in 1996 and discovering my dad's cassettes and listening on a Walkman. Vanhalen, foreighner, and ZZ Top were my favorites...van halen being #1. Here I am, about to be 36 and going through the worst hell of my life and this blessing of a man is putting out music that gives me goose bumps. First goose bumps I've had since 2009....before I got caught up in trying to numb myself.
feel u i also found music cures the soul hope u return to the living and feel the joy the sadness the pain u gotta face up to it all
It's so great to see and hear real rock again. I was born in 1951 and have lived through the evolution of rock........I went to many concerts through the 60"s and 70"s Doors, janis, Jimi and everything in between. Even Bloodrock (DOA) This kid is the REAL DEAL. Multi instrumentalist singer writer......all of it. Live long and prosper Wolfie
I love this - and yeah - stand alone musician this guy. You may have the last name but you have owned your own sound. Plays everything, sings like WTH...loving every song on this album.
Hi Anderson, Thanks for your love and wonderful support,including your kind words!.keeps the band going.! 💕 💗🎸🤗🎸🎬
Wolfgang is definitely amazing I love his music and talent, keep Rocking Wolfgang ,I to am a life long VanHalen fan you're making your mother and father proud.
Hi Doe,Thanks for your love and wonderful support,including your kind words!.keeps the band going.! 💕 💗🎸🤗🎸🎬
I was at work on my lunch break at night since I work at night and I was in my car eating and this song came on and I was like who is thissss??? And I asked Siri who sings this song and wolf ofcourse popped up! And I was remembering that he sings distance which is my favorite song by him! Now this one!
Awesome! Wolfie /Wolfgang ( Just like his dad) he ROCKS!
Thank you I recently had to leave a toxic relationship and this song was actually a big motivater to finally speak up for myself. Thank you wolfgang
Stay strong brother.
To say this album floored me is an understatement of MAMMOTH proportions!!
The 'sound' of this recording is MAMMOTH !!! Not to mention the content !!! EVH is 'still alive and well' thru you WVH !!!
He really worked hard with his father and listened to him…. He is really showing what an amazing person he is!!!!! He stayed in the shadows until his Dad was gone then HE SHOWED UP!!!❤❤❤❤
April 14, 2022.
The day I found my new favorite band at 56.
Thank you WVH and Mammoth
I look forward to watching you rise.
Wolfgang is one amazing musician! I have so much respect for this young man. The band he has backing him live is awesome!🤘🎸✌❤🙏👍
Wow!!! Just wow!!! You are amazingly talented Wolfe. You have a style all your own and your great. Your dad is definitely smiling at you from up above and I can understand why he was so proud of you. I can continue to rock on to your music just like I did your dads 💕💞
Nuff said, we can both Rock On Cheryl H!!😀
he's really not that good obviously you don't know what you're talkin about
@@stoplookingformyname3721 that’s your opinion obviously you don’t know good music or what your talking about. So keep your opinions to yourself.
@@stoplookingformyname3721 it’s so disrespectful to comment on someone’s weight so I’m guessing your perfect right??? And in my opinion he’s got his dads gift and considering what he’s been through and as close as he was to his dad having someone like you make fun of him while he’s following in his dads footsteps is just messed up. If you don’t have anything good to say about anyone don’t say anything at all. So keep your negative comments to your self
@@cherylh5633 typical woman that doesn't know what she's talking about. go wash the clothes and scrub the kitchen floor and then start getting dinner ready
What a song. Absolutely amazing!!! ❤ Great job Wolf and crew. Y'all heading for huge things!! I'm sure dad is proud as heck.
I was not expecting the voice tbh. It maybe the bands best asset actually 👍🏻
It's a great thing when your father can influence you from a young age and you make your father proud. My father did it with aviation. He made me a great pilot and a aviation historian in my own right. Being good at what you do is very important.
I honestly have not heard one that I do not like he is awesome every single track is beautiful the best rock I've heard in a long time
Saw them live. It was as good or even better than the official video. It was fantastic.
Always the mark of a great band, I've been told. The band produces albums to promote their live shows. Example: AC/DC.
Example #2: funny little band called Van Halen.
You guys rock!!! Your vocals. your musicianship and lyrics are fantastic - well done gents !
Hey Wolfgang, you're a real example of carrying on your dad's legacy with your own shine, not living in his shadow. You're such a great artist, your talent goes beyond the Van Halen name. Your albums are some of my favorites, especially the second one-I actually listened to every song and loved them all. Congratulations and keep blessing us with your music!
I wish your dad could have heard this. You rock man!!!
He's hearing😇
Wolf played the whole album for Eddie before he passed.
This album is so good. I’ve been listening to it every single day for the past 6 months.
I had the pleasure of seeing Mammoth when they performed before Alter Bridge. I was not disappointed. This song is so beautiful and hearing it live gave me goosebumps. Truly amazing.
Man, that's my ideal bill: Mammoth and Alter Bridge. How great was that?
@@darrelict1 It was honestly so incredible. Mammoth came on first, then Halestorm and then Alter Bridge. It was arguably the best gig I've been to.
@@ashtonmccormick4043 I'll bet that's right. I'd love to see that bill. I'm glad you had the opportunity. I dig Halestorm too. But AB and Wolf's stuff really resonate with me.
I love this, he is brilliant. It took the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert for me to discover him, but he is awesome. Looking forward to learning more about his music!
Me too!
Me too, isn't he just great 👌
I won tickets on a radio contest to see Mammoth and Dirty Honey in Kansas City last year. It was a really good show. My boyfriend and I were especially impressed with Wolfgang's voice. We had seen him perform once before in 2007 in K.C. with the VanHalen reunion tour. Was impressed with his guitar playing, especially since he was so young at the time. Had the pleasure of seeing EVH 3 times live. He would be so proud of his son and his accomplishments. Keep up the good work WVH!
Why in the hell am I not hearing this everywhere? This song is really sound. He did a more than fine job of crafting this. If this was my piece, I would be really looking at the reasons this hasn't produced awards. Something odd this is not blowing up the industry. 🤔
Just saw Mammoth on Tuesday in Milwaukee. They were amazing. Sounded spectacular. Since then I can’t get enough of them, been listening to everything available. Wolf beams with talent. I loved his dad when I was kid and it is easy to love Wolf and I just got familiar with them. Will def see them again!
He played every instrument, sang every vocal part, and wrote every song on the entire Mammoth album. It's just him. All of it.
He has a beautiful voice! Eddie’s SO proud of him…
This is the only album since the 1st Audioslave with Chris Cornell that I love every single song. I can listen over&over. I'm 58 BTW🤣
I've watched this video tons of times, and every time at the 3:36 mark when those dudes raise their hands, I get goose bumps like no other.
🔥 Can't wait to see you guys at the Wiltern in March! Thanks for keeping rock alive. 🤘
wait.. really?! >gleep
Wolfie is AMAZING!!!! Eddie gave us more than epic guitar solos, he also gave us this talented musician!
Damn I LOVE this band so much!!! You are ALL such amazing musicians!!! Thank you Wolf for sharing this journey!!!
2024 and I just discovered these guys. Going down the rabbit hole. Hookiest songs I’ve heard in a long time! Just fantastic!
First time I heard Wolfgang’s group
Love it.
Great until question sound
It's rare that I hear a song for the first time that I absolutely love. It's like an instant classic. Awesome!
