I thought an annual THTC would be a great idea. These shows have been absolutely legendary. I mean, on a level with Woodstock, Live Aid, Monterrey Pop, Early Lollapalooza shows, Texxas Jam, CalJam, etc. Just fantastic!
I agree, it should be a yearly event, Foos, Def Leppard, GnR, Rush, Wolfgang, Motley, Metallica, Green Day, etc because let's face it, the old bands are the new modern rock because there isn't nothing new that will ever compare to any of these bands. Maybe Dave's already thought of it. Let's hope!
Love love Justin Hawkins Rides Again! One of my favorite signers! Wolfgang playing Panama so well. I love Josh Freese, such a great punk rock drummer! What a great performance!
Says a lot about Wolfie's character to show up and play Panama a song he never plays in his own band. A beautiful tribute for sure. It's no surprise Wolfie killed it!
Ha, ha ,haaaa, I was always telling all the doubters of Wolfgang that he has incredible talent and they didn’t believe me when he was playing in his dad and uncle’s band. Well done Wolf, you nailed it once again. Your dad will always be my mentor in guitar playing. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@bryonkidder6199 it’s not difficult until you try to play it “exactly” like Eddie played it. Then, you have to get the right tone. The tone is one of the hard parts. Rock on !!!
I love these Taylor Hawkins shows, the energy is so much like it was back in the late 70,s concerts. Great musicians having a good time on stage with out all the crap of special effects. We need more if this, its good for the fans as well as the musicians. Positive energy rock on! .....Joey
I just can't get over the beauty of the Quilted Maple Top of Wolf's axe here ....What a pristine instrument.....Tone on it has real Thundercrunch. & he kicked ass on it without even needing a Vibrato Bar too.
@@bryonkidder6199 Well, vibrato bar is just a pitch tool which Ed used with great originality unlike the legions of players who came after who did fit your description. What is interesting about WOLF'S guitars is that by exploring the Semi Acoustic route he is going a pathway that his Dad didn't explore to the extent he is. In VH in the 1970s there were band politics restraining ED from playing semi acoustics for mere band image visual cosmetic reasons but because Wolf does everything himself in the studio & employs his live band he doesn't have those restrictions. He's totally his own man....& because of this his guitars have this semi acoustic sustain & tone to them which solid body instruments don't actually have. In hard rock Nugent broke the ground here but Wolfgang on his first album was doing something different with it again.
The rumored VH reunion/Eddie tribute tour should be Wolf on guitar, with Alex, Mikey, and Dave. There doesn’t need to be a multitude of guys taking turn on guitar. Who better to step in and honor Eddie’s playing than Wolf himself?
DAMN, Wolfie is just astounding. As someone who looked up to my own Dad a lot, Wolfie is no doubt making his proud. I know he doesn’t wanna copy Van Halen, make a buck off them, just make his path, but damn. His guitar work is SPOT ON. Chills, almost tears. I’ve seen the video that has a lot of family footage, just amazing, the talent Wolfie is. Your Dad is smiling.
This gives me the idea of a group of Wolfgang Van Halen, Jason Bonham…now we need a bassist of a legend and a singer of a legend. Create a super group of kids from legendary artists.
I know Wolfie is promoting his new guitar that sounds great, and he's probably used to, but man, how cool would it have been to see him playing his dad's Kramer striped 5150 guitar for this?
Damn, it's just int he blood isn't it? I didn't think anyone would be able to play that once Eddie was gone, Wolf has it in spades. Good on him and good for us.
thats Billie Van Halen. but yeh I know his dad & mom call him Wolfie or WolFy or Wolf. For the ones dont know Bill is also his name. I like the ring ..........Billy Van Halen 🤘
I’m not saying that jams from 1984 hit a hundred times harder than anything churned out today, but…..oh hell, you all just watched the same video that I did.
I'd like to see do an instructive video collection playing his dad's songs for educational purposes, and then never play them again. WVH can shred that guitar. Wow.
we need more gigs like this but not cause somebody has passed

I watched the Wembley stream with my son, and I thought ‘this is the most important gig since Live Aid’
@@jordan4870 live Aid didn't change anything. Raised millions that went right into corrupt African pockets.
I was in London at the celebration of 50 years of Marshall amps. It was brilliant
I don't know how to express the immense joy it is to see Wolfgang shredding his Dad's songs and sounding exactly like him. Very, very cosmic energy.
I think that's the first time I've ever heard Panama performed live with all the words being sung.
Haha.
DLR definitely sacrificed the lyrics at times to focus on the theatrics.
Dave couldn’t remember the words and his vocals were so scattershot that you could only sing along to VH choruses.
Hawkins is CRIMINALLY underrated!!....it's so nice to see him getting a second run at things....he's such a nice guy.
Yes he truly is! Love his YT channel
Underrated?
he iss fucking great, isn't he? love his channel.
He can’t sing period. He even makes DLR seem like a proper vocalist.
Not underrated here in Britain.
Eddie said that Wolf was "dangerous". After hearing this, man was Eddie right! Wolf inherited the gift of music and what a gift it is!! 👍👍👍👍👍
This just makes me happy, Wolfgang is a beast and its great to see him smile and carry on his pops and his own legacy. Thanks for sharing
that's Eddie Van Halen prodigy right there, DNA and all! Mad respect to Wolfie!
prodigy? really now.........
JUSTIN HAWKINS!!!! Such a flamboyant and talented entertainer and always with a touch of humor.
His RUclips channel is great. I wouldn't have become a fan without it.
Check out his Rig Rundown by Premier Guitar. Dude is a total trip!
He is a zero talent
@@crash9632 Try again, take a breath.
Is he Taylor’s kid?
I literally cried, he plays exactly like his dad! EVH forever!!!
His Mom says he and Eddie "are the same person."
Love love Justin Hawkins Rides Again! One of my favorite signers! Wolfgang playing Panama so well. I love Josh Freese, such a great punk rock drummer! What a great performance!
Wolfgang VH nailed it, great song!!!
J. Hawkins believes in a thing called love ❤️
and heroin
So impressed with Wolfgang, truly a talent and artist in his own right. Instant life long fan.
Says a lot about Wolfie's character to show up and play Panama a song he never plays in his own band. A beautiful tribute for sure. It's no surprise Wolfie killed it!
This is my favourite line up of Van Halen
Ha, ha ,haaaa, I was always telling all the doubters of Wolfgang that he has incredible talent and they didn’t believe me when he was playing in his dad and uncle’s band. Well done Wolf, you nailed it once again. Your dad will always be my mentor in guitar playing. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
He can play every rock instrument.
I can play this song too...lol
It's not a difficult song to play
@@bryonkidder6199 it’s not difficult until you try to play it “exactly” like Eddie played it. Then, you have to get the right tone. The tone is one of the hard parts. Rock on !!!
Freese has always been amazing!
is there anybody better? he can do anything it seems.
Right down the pipe
Incredible! I saw Van Halen play the Forum many times in the 80 ‘s
So Beautiful… Love to Taylor , his family , and his frequency Mates ♥️♥️♥️🪬👽🛸

We need this as long as it doesn’t require a rock star dying in order to make it happen.
And no fricken dancers onstage with everything choreographed to perfection. No lip sync and LIVE drums.
Man……. Listening to him play gives me goosebumps like crazy! Such a solid player!
Wolfy,,, bro you gave me chills playing
Seeing this puts a huge smile on my face.🔥🤘
Justin Hawkins is such a good performer
If you enjoy a tatted up dude in pink tights that can’t sing I guess he would be good
@@flyingburritobro68 Taylor was a tatted up guy in pink tights ?
He shouldn't be there, he's a vain narcissist whos band are famous for taking the pee out of metal.
@@flyingburritobro68 you’ve HEARD of rock and roll before, no? 😂
Hell yyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeessssssss he can
I just can't get over the beauty of the Quilted Maple Top of Wolf's axe here ....What a pristine instrument.....Tone on it has real Thundercrunch. & he kicked ass on it without even needing a Vibrato Bar too.

@@JOEMAMMADRINK40Z well, yeah,,,ok
This makes my heart happy.
Dave looks happy too. This is just what he needed to help him start healing. He looks so much better this time around.

Jesus Christ, Wolfie makes tears come out of my eyes
How many double cheeseburgers do you think he eats for lunch?...lol
Same here, however seeing some comments here shows how miserable and despicable people can be.
@@bryonkidder6199 seven
@@bryonkidder6199
Wolfie is a rock god. He can eat whatever the hell he wants for lunch
@@jaylevitz3466 he's a god to you?...lmfao
I can play Panama too...lol
Wow Wolf ❤ you killed it!
Again!
Woflgang Van halen is a young rock God!
Thank you again for recording this!
Who would've thought the "Rock Gods" of the 2020's would be a 350 lbs. fat kid wearing skinny jeans?...lmfao!
I love everything about this. Everything. Every person here is amazing!!
Love Wolfie and Justin is having a real resurgence which he/they deserve. Favorite VH song!
DAMN, Wolfie is just astounding. As someone who looked up to my own Dad a lot, Wolfie is no doubt making his proud. I know he doesn’t wanna copy Van Halen, make a buck off them, just make his path, but damn. His guitar work is SPOT ON.

I get why Wolfgang doesn't want to play his dad's tunes, but FUCK he can NAIL THEM!
Long live king Edward. The King of Strings!
larf.
And Taylor
Holy shit! Wolfie! love it.
What do you do, when your guitar teacher and father is the greatest rock guitarist in the world and your last name is Van Halen? YOU SHRED! 🤘
Wolfgang might be playing dad's stuff but he certainly has his own style!
Oh wow. Simply amazing.
Bring back all the great 80’s90’s & 2000’s Rock Bands! I’m ready to spend some money. But want my moneys worth!
so good

Miley is Dolly's goddaughter.....
Well cliff Burton didn't have any kids and flea isn't dead yet.
Jaco Pastorious son plays bass.
@@skoon002 YES!!! I can’t believe I didn’t think of him immediately. 3/4 of the way there. Just need a singer on their level.
I think this is a super group! They need to do an album together!
Absolutely Amazing 👏
I know Wolfie is promoting his new guitar that sounds great, and he's probably used to, but man, how cool would it have been to see him playing his dad's Kramer striped 5150 guitar for this?
Man, I thought it was EVH on guitar. Well done Wolfie, your dad sure is so proud of you.
WVH has really come into his own. Glad I get to see him with AlterBridge in the New Year!
Ladies and Gentlemen... Wolfgang Van Halen! Damn he can play! Check out his album Mammoth, its incredible!
Wolfgang and Justin should make an album.
I know he might not be into it but I'd love a version of Van Halen with Justin singing and Wolgang, they pull it off so fucking well..
I’d go see Wolf and Justin doing VH songs.
YES!!!
The tribute concert that is so good we get it twice.
Yes and they changed it up too. Last time it was hot for teacher
@@billb.7346 Yea. WVH is pretty awesome. The first concert blew me away.
Would love to see Wolfgang with Hawkins outfit.
Amazing and you have dave in the corner on the bass while these two are the focus of attention
Is this Justin Hawkins from the darkness?
Yes
Absolutely sick
Justin Hawkins Rides Again!
Wow
Who is Justin Hawkins? His mic wasn't mixed in well.
Definitely shows he spent a lot and a lot of time with the maestro
I hope Wolf has children so he can pass this talent on to another generation...!
The People made rock n roll at Goose Lake & the soundboard caught it.
Holy shit Wolfie!
Music played note for note! For his Pop!
This the answer for the guitarist for a Van Halen tribute concert.
holy crap Wolfie crushing it sounds like his old man RIP Eddie
Immaculate. Where was this? Thanks for the upload 🦾🙏☮️💟🇺🇲
Okay, KIA THEATER 🤘
Eddie be smiling...
You know the smile
I'm sure Diamond Dave is somewhere wondering why they didn't ask 🤔 him to sing talk or whatever he does.
That *sshole lost his voice a looooong time ago. Even if he still could sing f*** him…
hes retired, bone up
Turn the singers volume up
Lol dude this is a stage side phone recording. Youre hearin all stage, vocals are blasted FOH
No shortage of dickhead comments to this one. Superb.
It's too bad they couldn't get Alex.
He probably retired
How does Dave
continue?
Damn, it's just int he blood isn't it? I didn't think anyone would be able to play that once Eddie was gone, Wolf has it in spades. Good on him and good for us.
should have got Michael Starr for this gig
thats Billie Van Halen. but yeh I know his dad & mom call him Wolfie or WolFy or Wolf. For the ones dont know Bill is also his name. I like the ring ..........Billy Van Halen 🤘
If there is ever a van Halen tribute thing going on wolf needs to fill his dad's spot not Steve Vai.
I think everyone wants Rufus Taylor on the drums full time for the Foo Fighters.
Rip Eddie and Taylor
Nice... He altered it a bit so you know he is playing it. lol. Dragged that bend a bit.
more like this
Now if Sammy was singing that would of been GREAT
Sounds great but I don't know about that purple outfit they painted on the singer.
these tribute gigs r awesome, but they seem 2 leave out a huge area of avoidance, not 1 word is mentioned about not using drugs or alcohol 🤔
Holy Jesus f***k that guitar in the intro!!!!
not the best place audio-wise to record from, but visually 🤘
I'd like to know who was the guitarist's teacher, must have been good
It wasn’t Eddie.
I’m not saying that jams from 1984 hit a hundred times harder than anything churned out today, but…..oh hell, you all just watched the same video that I did.
No one has the DLR skilz
Didn't realize it was also a tribute to Olivia Newton John
wolf says dad i wanna play guitar dad says ok ill have someone teach you wolf said what about you dad 😄
Did you have to get the clot shot to attend?
If you don't take the clotshot boosters you are not worthy and allowed to listen to Foo Fearsters and shame on you!
J h .
Great
nice bass, wonder when Dave will hook up with Iron Maiden?
The real title is....When you run out of original material............
I'd like to see do an instructive video collection playing his dad's songs for educational purposes, and then never play them again. WVH can shred that guitar. Wow.
on fire is so much better
I came to to see who the chick in the pink was....oops!
Must be good dave faced the crowd
It's like Van Halen is back but better lol
