Awesome groove! I might be crazy but the last two beats at the end reminded me of the ending of “ So this is Love”.... kick ass song! Looking forward to some live shows!
@@RcJoost can't forget Tom Scholz from Boston doing largely the same.. after designing and building his own studio and INVENTING most of the stuff he used to record it all ;)
Best thing Wolf ever did was listen to his dad's advice; find and walk your own path musically. This fucking rocks, and fuck the haters who ever give Wolf any grief!
@@SK8INNOVATIONS Yep! I couldn't agree more. Why ppl see him as in Edward VH's shadow has nvr made sense to me. He is SO incredibly talented and that's what's obvious to me.
I agree- lost my dad and mom 5 yrs apart. I know that pain- Eddie should be here - Wolf knows his pop is guiding him from above and they will be together again... forever. Wolf has dad's heart - and his OWN style
Great video. I was a quarter of the way through it when I noticed it was all you. And then the music started. I forgot I wasn't breathing. The ending was the best. 😁
I’ve gained so much respect for this man over the last year. I’m beginning to believe he’s one of real rock musics last hopes. When I found out he records all the instruments himself he immediately went up in my book. Especially the drums. The drums on both mammoth albums are a masterclass.
Really? I think he's got his mother's beautiful hair. I always wanted her hair lol. His talent as a musician clearly runs in that VH Blood though. Wolfgang is a badass 😎
Holy Hell !!! Ed created a monster here. This kid got talent! He kills it on every instrument. And has a since of humor as well. Did I mention the kid got talent? Damn...blown away.
Yes but also, check out Tremonti solo Albums, this guy played with Mark and you can hear some influence in the heavy part and vocal melodies in many of his songs
Yeah I noticed that but pops pressed down his high E till it bottomed out on the pickupp. Wolf put a great spin on it. What a great tribute Easter egg for those in the know!
pro tools,digital overlay .....either way most do it now and its awesome to see Wolfie doing what he loves .what his Dad loved! RIPEddie!! VH is in all my childhhod memories
And I believe he plays all of the instruments also... talented no matter how you look at it, and I don’t mean based on the video, I read that his songs he is recording has all parts done by him
I remember when his dad replaced MA with him, I was not impressed. Of course he was 17(?) at the time. He's really grown and found his voice. This song rocks, and I'm excited to see what else he's got.
Cameo? He could have his own series, lol. He's funnier than many of the comedians on tv these days. Rock and comedy go very well together. His dad's band proved that.
What would really be cool is a live stage scene with a hologram of EVH jamming with you on stage. They’ve created Elvis and 2pac, now they need to create EVH hologram for us too.

You know, we talk about how much Wolf has inherited his father's chops as a musician, but he has a comedic gift that he got from his mom, too. I love how naturally he plays every version of himself.
Wolf......56 y.o old dude here who loved your dad. I became a decent musician by trying to learn everything your dad every did. What a teacher he was to millions. Now I love you. Can't wait to see everything you do. Going to get my 13 year old drummer son to check out your genius......and the circle continues......God Bless!
I am impressed he avoided the usual music industry trap of forcing the musically inclined children of famous musicians into their parents shoes and failing miserably. This is good and all his own.
I saw Van Halen at the Anaheim Honda Center about 16 years ago. You came out for 1 of the 1st time on stage with your dad playing a guitar. My god how you’ve grown into a superb artist since then. The Van Halen’s certainly have something in their genes. Insane talent and artistry!
W O W ! This kid is SO fucking talented. Not sure what impresses me most about him. Not only can he do it all musically, looks natural in front of a camera, his whole demeanor speaks of the buddy down the street kinda guy. Plus he's not afraid to call a dumbass a dumbass when they get out of line! His parents should be so proud. And I'm sure they are (R.I.P. EVH). I would be.
Wolfgang has some serious talent. Glad to see he isn't trying to copycat the King and doing his own thing. The song is really good and his vocals are on spot.
Wolfie, this is all you man. So proud of you. I am a 57-year-old mom who in my youth loved you father and uncle’s band. You are your own talent and with that humour of yours it’s even better watching your videos. I send you a million hugs honey.
I was devastated to think that all that great music disappeared when we lost Eddie last year. After hearing Wolfgang play, I'm beyond excited to see that it hasn't. Wolfgang is carrying the torch now and standing tall doing it. Absolutely awesome.
Met your dad in Boise Idaho on his 1st tour he'd be proud of you son keep up the good work and remember your not trying to fill your dad's shoes your wearing your own your great kid

I heard it on the radio and I was like.. man, who is this? I've been listening the last 2 days now, I'm definitely a fan as well. I don't care about an artists beginning if they make quality sound.
If you get a chance to see Mammoth, DO NOT pass it up. They rocked the roof off in Bangor last weekend, it was phenomenal ! Thanks for the amazing show Wolf !
As a sound engineer, and a guitarist, who plays in a band, that records our own music, I found this video to be hilarious! Wolf's talent is undeniable! As a lifelong fan of Van Halen, and now as a fan of Mammoth WVH, I could not be prouder of what Wolf is doing. As a side note, the ending of the video caused the Diet Coke I was drinking, to shoot out of my nose!
@@StatusQuonald You didn't get it? Someone who's played in a band and has some experience recording, has a better understanding of the video, and has experienced much of the antics involved in this process, like Wolf does with the other Wolf's. And particularly, how difficult this process is with a group, let alone a single person, like Wolf. Then the band and recording sound great? Quite a feat, indeed! The opinion of someone who's experienced all these things, gives more weight to what they're saying than someone unfamiliar with this process. The comment was self deprecating actually, and very humble, as many people spend a career without having such success as this production! P.S. Some equate success as "in record sales". Most know it when they hear/see it. I loved the video, music, and the great "Spinal Tap" type humor, with several twists to it! Very, very impressive! WVH really surprised me with this amazing song and video! Van Halen is back in the house!👍💜🙏
Dude, I am 55, and loved EVERYTHING your Dad recorded, and I love what you're doing too. Don't back down, Wolf, do your thing, cuz you do it damn well. Rock On, Brother.
@@Fireglo I always liked 'How Many Say I'. My favorite part is when Eddie sings the line 'Know something to be true, then deny it'. Got to see a different side of EVH in that song.
Here is my version of your comment: Dude, I am 58, and loved EVERYTHING your Dad recorded, and I love what you're doing too. Don't back down, Wolf, do your thing, cuz you do it damn well. Rock On, Brother.
You need more generic, modern, overproduced radio-rock, with recycled Mark Tremonti or Chad Kroeger riffs?! The main riff sounds almost exactly like some Nickelback or Theory of a Deadman riff, from 2010!
Well just look at you with the most awesome opinion on the interwebs. If you honestly get Nickelback from listening to this then I really don't think we can discuss music. Move along I'm not interested.
Awesome rock. He's got his Dad's talent and his Mom's outgoing personality but 100% of the credit goes to him for developing and using his talents and forging his own way with his unique music.
First off what's wrong with you sounding like your dad I can only wish to have a father who wanted to just to acknowledge that I was alive in his world let alone put a gift & a blessing such as your father did in his love of music I've learned to let go of the negative impact of how my father let me down after he left when I was 4 and a half never a birthday card or a call but through the kick ass body of music created by your dad I was saved & ultimately hooked so if you played your music & this song wich is awesome by the way... through a tuba or kazoo it's yours no standing in anyone's shadow,which is a legacy a shadow is dark,embrace that sound emulate it for it's the sound of life,the life your father gave to you & me god bless you wolf play on & Mr van halen I hope to jam with you if make it up there...lol
@@RobertRodriguez-ow8dn bro, chill, hes just sayin he respects the fact wolf is taking his own direction and not following directly after his late great father
Fuck yeah. Not only did this R A W K, but to be this guy, stepping out this boldly from the shadow of legends with this kind of authority and he's still fearlessly self-deprecating? Thats how you know a kid was raised right. God bless you Wolf, I can't wait to hear what you do next.
Your 💯% RIGHT. He's one talented man. I keep wanting to say kid, but he's not. It's hard for me to call my son a man & he'll be 25 in 10 days. He'll actually always be my baby( my son) I was one & done. I'm sure Valerie gets what I'm saying. Distance came out after I list my husband. He was only 43. Not the virus, Not Drugs. Bleeding in the brain. Happened so fast. Don't think I'll ever be right. I've Lost too many loved ones. Keep up the Great Music Wolfie. Always remember your Dad Loves You So Much. As does Your Mom. Oh & us fans of the Next Great Van Halen 🎵🎸🎤🎶🥁
This song kicks ass... dude is super talented. That ending legit got me... Lol "How was that?" "Perfect. That was money. C'mon in. Holy shit that was terrible. We can fix that, right?" Lmao
Grammys was once the highlight of my year. I quit watching years ago. They've done a horrible disservice to those who won when it meant something. You did the right thing, Wolf. Grammy who? 😘❤😘❤😘
Man, this flat out ROCKS! Caught a track on the radio and it blew me away, and when they said "Mammoth" at the cut's completion, I turned to my son and said: "I caught Ed in a band called Mammoth back in the 70's at my high school". I was puzzled, as I thought the name was likely copyright protected. A week later another cut came blowing through the airwaves, and it also flat-out kicked ass. A couple-few months went by and something Bettencourt was saying about Eddie got me to thinking about the Mammoth days and early VH parties over at what was a huge rehearsal studio (not a Warner's property... damn, my memory from the period in the early 1980's is vague, but I think it was over at the old A&M fortress on La La Brea). All of which led me to pull up some Mammoth material via youtube. Now it all makes perfect sense. Very cool, indeed!
You're obviously young at heart girl. I'm 59,my wife 63 and we love VH,miss EVH and are embracing WVH doing his thing and this makes the B.S. of the world go away for a bit.My wife is terminal but I hope she gets to see Wolfie on tour before she goes. If not then she gets to hang with Eddie before I do. Rock on,WVH brought light and joy back ito a bleak world. Hope to see you there Angie.
@@feellucky271 I am so sorry to hear about your wife. I hope this wish for her comes true. I will be 61 next month but not in my head if you know what I mean. Well, except I feel that old in the knees...
@@angiesherwood5400 Thank you Angie. You're very sweet.We just take it one day at the time and try to live in the moment. We just celebrated 17 years and I got her flowers and a .....vacuum cleaner. She can't use it,that's my job as she gets winded so easily but the look of happiness on her face was just terrific. She's just so sweet and so very tough I cannot imagine life without her. Thanks for your kind words.
@@dhaley9577 agreed!! I've not been impressed enough with artists to want to purchase their albums.. back in Eddie's day.. full albums were awesome.. nowadays? maybe one good cut.. Mammoth WVH will he the 1st full album that I purchase since like the 90s
He using Pop's studio in this video...can't say I blame him...it's an awesome studio with great history...some great records have been made there, why not?
Not just your dad is proud of you your uncle which help you must be astonishing amzoned the way u beat those drums Not leaving out the way u played that guitar man your dad must have been hard on you because you're going too be one of the best the is yet to see God bless you wolf 🐺 don't ever quit or forget we're you came from
Awesome WVH I am a old 53 year old that grew up on your dads music Van Halen was my favorite band. But damn son you can jam. Your very talented and your music awesome please keep pumping out more. I love your sound.
I'll back the both of you up on the no-skip album gesture. This kind of album has been needed for quite some time. I want to go see this monster live in concert.
@@Goss5079 The bloodline seems notorious for saving music and bringing back the true definition of music while setting the gold standard. Definitely his own man! I might have started playing guitar because of EVH, but WVH is sure going to keep my drive and motivation going. I'm completely dumbfounded by this album. Last album I wanted to play stemmed from the mid 90's. This now gives me some more to rock out to on my own.
It's wonderful to see that Wolf is forging his own path in music, instead of relying on the Van Halen name to carry him along. He is crazy talented, and I can't wait to continue watching him on his musical journey.

That was absolutely brilliant, congrats!
Eddie: Son, which instrument do you want to play?
Wolf: Yes.
How many is there dad?
🤣🤣🤣👍👍
Looking through the dictionary for the meaning "one man band"
MEANING: " WOLFGANG VAN HALEN* 👍⚡👑🤣🌹❤️
That one over there son okay thanks Pop!!!!
He is so talented blessed and loved. He has/had R.I.P EVH a great set of parents.
Wolfgang is my favorite band member.
Mine too, this band would be nothing without him
He kinda stands out above the rest...
Same
He’s the best looking.
@JW Stuff They better mind their manners or he will replace them with look-alikes and no one will ever know.
Creating an entire album by himself? Like his dad, this guy's a *GENIUS!*
His father raised quite a talent.
True, but let’s not forget his mama Valerie : )
I like the sense of humor...don't ever lose that.
No doubt
Mom's acting/comedic talents, Dad's musical talents, and VOILA! Van Halen super genius.
Ha ha! Perfect observation and conclusion. 👍
The fact that this man can create an entire album BY HIMSELF is a testament to the strength of his career. Keep makin awesome shit dude!
As Dave Grohl also did with the 1st Foo Fighters album; not a bad thing to be compared with….
@@RcJoost come on!
@@RcJoost can't forget Tom Scholz from Boston doing largely the same.. after designing and building his own studio and INVENTING most of the stuff he used to record it all ;)
Also proves the VH blood is special. They’re all multi instrument people.
That. Money. What A Artist.
The look of disapproval from "Bass Player" Wolf at "Drummer" Wolf is priceless. Love the song and video.
The ending was hilarious too
You hope Wolf can get his act together and not be late again, Wolf shouldn’t let Wolf slack off
He might be as good a video maker as he is making music, awesome!
@@tylerthescreamofficial98 jajajaj the answer from the engineer just blows me
To be fair, "Bass Player" Wolf has over a decade of experience playing major rock shows with a fairly well known band.
Best thing Wolf ever did was listen to his dad's advice; find and walk your own path musically. This fucking rocks, and fuck the haters who ever give Wolf any grief!
Amen
@ dude you’re here to comment about not liking his music on HIS video and calling me a fanboy. You’re a text book hater. Bye Felicia
Agreed, if you don’t like it, why are you here? And if you have nothing nice to say, then don’t say anything. You should be a quarter as talented.
Wolfie thank you for not being your father's copy, but for being his legacy. Keep it up, and I love your sense of humor.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking. He’s funny, too!
Well said
I'm a drummer for over 40 years. The drummer coming in late, dropping sticks and acting aggravated is SPOT ON!!! Good job young man.
You forgot rushing the tempo. Coming late, then working the band into a feverish sweat by rushing the tempo. LOL!
Lol
Don't forget taking up ALL available space with yer sh*t as well!! ;)
Also the part where the drummer won't stop playing while the others are tuning up.
Is it true that a drummer without a girlfriend is homeless?
I can see Ed now smiling from ear to ear. So proud of his son.
really you can saw him? why u didn't ran out haha.thats ghost
Never easy to step out of your Fathers shadow but he seems to been able to do that!
What shadow? Wolf is Wolf!!! And he’s kicking ass!!!
"Father" never would have put him on bass and tour if he couldn't hold his own. He's been writing since he was little. He's got his own shadow.
@@SK8INNOVATIONS
Yep! I couldn't agree more. Why ppl see him as in Edward VH's shadow has nvr made sense to me. He is SO incredibly talented and that's what's obvious to me.
EVH as your father? double edged sword, or would that be a double neck?
Eddie's looking down, flashing his 'Eddie smile' saying, "Yeah, that's MY kid!"
Well done Wolf! Good luck blazing your own path

Humor just like his dad.

Really? I think he's got his mother's beautiful hair. I always wanted her hair lol. His talent as a musician clearly runs in that VH Blood though. Wolfgang is a badass 😎
His mom and dad both had great hair. 👍
His hair is a combo of his Dad's color and Mom's feathering
Holy Hell !!! Ed created a monster here. This kid got talent! He kills it on every instrument. And has a since of humor as well. Did I mention the kid got talent? Damn...blown away.

Not only is Wolf a talented singer/songwriter/kick-ass multi-instrumentalist, but he's a comedic actor as well.
I know, that was an excellent video 👍🏼💯✌🏼
Great sense of humor!! So looking forward to this cd!
which wolfgang
Yeah that was a fun video. Gotta inject some fun into it. Can't always take yourself too seriously.
Was thinking the same...
I'm 66, and this is the best fresh rock I've heard since the 80s! Wonderful, creative, entertaining videos! Thank you!!!
Yes but also, check out Tremonti solo Albums, this guy played with Mark and you can hear some influence in the heavy part and vocal melodies in many of his songs
Winery dogs
This sounds eerily similar to Burn It to the Ground by Nickelback
@TheRandyDowning: I agree mate. 👌👍👍
You gotta see him live, I tried to tell people they would be blown away and yep, they were! \m/
The apple does not fall far from the tree. Wolf is super talented, and has a hell of a voice.
“We can fix that right ?” 😂😂 this guy 🙏🏼👍🏼🔥
I'm loving the little "So This Is Love" tag at the end....
Yes!!
Yep
I just said that the little part of the end was So van halen
Yeah I noticed that but pops pressed down his high E till it bottomed out on the pickupp. Wolf put a great spin on it. What a great tribute Easter egg for those in the know!

These guys are so in sync with each other, it's crazy. I hope the band never breaks up.
This kid is not just a legit rock singer songwriter... but hilarious as well! Only a matter of time before he has cameos in comedies! Must respect! 🦾
Cameo? He could have his own series, lol. He's funnier than many of the comedians on tv these days. Rock and comedy go very well together. His dad's band proved that.
No wonder his dad was so proud of him....talented kid!!
Eddie made it known that he was proud of what his son is writing and putting together. It's his own sound and it kicks ass. Pretty much to that effect
Laid it on me
Incredible how WVH found a whole band that looks just like him. Amazing.
Look out Wolfie......your bandmates could steal your shtick....lol
And they all had the same hair cuts...what are the chances?
Crazier still... They all have the same name too

Dudes basically a new Dave Grohl. Can play every instrument incredibly well and singing chops to boot.
My thoughts exactly!
I'd say he has more raw musical talent than Grohl --- but then again look who his father was
I think a collaboration is in order. Why not, it worked for Tenacious D?
And he can act ... just like his momma!!!
Except Grohl can't sing
Take who he is, who his father was, all aside. What you’re left with is a killer rock song from a crazy talented musician! This shit rocks!
Definitely!!!
Absolutely...just plain good! Nevermind the initials.

And particularly, how difficult this process is with a group, let alone a single person, like Wolf. Then the band and recording sound great? Quite a feat, indeed!
The opinion of someone who's experienced all these things, gives more weight to what they're saying than someone unfamiliar with this process.
The comment was self deprecating actually, and very humble, as many people spend a career without having such success as this production!
P.S. Some equate success as "in record sales". Most know it when they hear/see it.
I loved the video, music, and the great "Spinal Tap" type humor, with several twists to it!
Very, very impressive! WVH really surprised me with this amazing song and video!
Van Halen is back in the house!👍💜🙏
anyone who doesn't watch to the end is missing out. Talent and a sense of humor. Priceless.
@@StatusQuonald Nobody cares that you don't care. The Greenday out front should have told you that.
You nailed the comment dude!
Dude, I am 55, and loved EVERYTHING your Dad recorded, and I love what you're doing too. Don't back down, Wolf, do your thing, cuz you do it damn well. Rock On, Brother.
Even "How many say I"? XD
@@Fireglo I always liked 'How Many Say I'. My favorite part is when Eddie sings the line 'Know something to be true, then deny it'. Got to see a different side of EVH in that song.
Here is my version of your comment: Dude, I am 58, and loved EVERYTHING your Dad recorded, and I love what you're doing too. Don't back down, Wolf, do your thing, cuz you do it damn well. Rock On, Brother.
I’m positive his Dad is watching from above playing the air guitar smiling with his classic grin. Simply outstanding Wolfgang!
That was awesome!!!!! Can’t wait to hear some more..
His dad is prob playing his custom...plugged in bro
I am so happy that you are doing so well Wolfie I know it's been hard but you are so talented you do great your dad's very proud of you right now
Man Eddie would be incredibly proud of this .
I saw a Wolf interview and he said his Dad heard the album and liked it.
We need more people making this kind of music. Well played.
facts
I agree
Crobot and every other band that has played the blues and pentatonic to death. Nah man, we don't.
You need more generic, modern, overproduced radio-rock, with recycled Mark Tremonti or Chad Kroeger riffs?!
The main riff sounds almost exactly like some Nickelback or Theory of a Deadman riff, from 2010!
Well just look at you with the most awesome opinion on the interwebs. If you honestly get Nickelback from listening to this then I really don't think we can discuss music. Move along I'm not interested.
Dude... this is so awsome. Modern sound with an 80s retro vibe.... word cant describe my utter joy listening to this. Just wow
Awesome rock. He's got his Dad's talent and his Mom's outgoing personality but 100% of the credit goes to him for developing and using his talents and forging his own way with his unique music.
I appreciate the fact that you aren't trying to sound like your dad. I really like the song.
LoL Mr Pusser ;[)
First off what's wrong with you sounding like your dad I can only wish to have a father who wanted to just to acknowledge that I was alive in his world let alone put a gift & a blessing such as your father did in his love of music I've learned to let go of the negative impact of how my father let me down after he left when I was 4 and a half never a birthday card or a call but through the kick ass body of music created by your dad I was saved & ultimately hooked so if you played your music & this song wich is awesome by the way... through a tuba or kazoo it's yours no standing in anyone's shadow,which is a legacy a shadow is dark,embrace that sound emulate it for it's the sound of life,the life your father gave to you & me god bless you wolf play on & Mr van halen I hope to jam with you if make it up there...lol
@@RobertRodriguez-ow8dn bro, chill, hes just sayin he respects the fact wolf is taking his own direction and not following directly after his late great father
I was blown away. His talent stands alone without the name. And Hella voice. Rock ain't dead!!!
Amen!!
This man can play period. And these are excellent products of his labor. Wouldn't expect anything else EVH son and band mate.
Refreshing to see Wolf establish himself in the rock music world carving his own legacy and identity. His dad would be and was proud of Wolf. Rock on!
Fuck yeah. Not only did this R A W K, but to be this guy, stepping out this boldly from the shadow of legends with this kind of authority and he's still fearlessly self-deprecating? Thats how you know a kid was raised right. God bless you Wolf, I can't wait to hear what you do next.
Preech on it brother! My thoughts exactly.
Long live the Van Halens!
-megafan from waaay back in '81
Your 💯% RIGHT. He's one talented man. I keep wanting to say kid, but he's not. It's hard for me to call my son a man & he'll be 25 in 10 days. He'll actually always be my baby( my son) I was one & done. I'm sure Valerie gets what I'm saying. Distance came out after I list my husband. He was only 43. Not the virus, Not Drugs. Bleeding in the brain. Happened so fast. Don't think I'll ever be right. I've Lost too many loved ones. Keep up the Great Music Wolfie. Always remember your Dad Loves You So Much. As does Your Mom. Oh & us fans of the Next Great Van Halen 🎵🎸🎤🎶🥁
@DEFUND WELFARE .......you've completely lived down to my expectations, Precious.
That will get some people’s attention. That tune rocks!
LOL - he sucks
This song kicks ass... dude is super talented.
That ending legit got me... Lol
"How was that?"
"Perfect. That was money. C'mon in. Holy shit that was terrible. We can fix that, right?" Lmao
Like Father, Like Son.
You got no shoes to fill. You rock. Love your pops with all my heart.
This is the music the SUPER BOWL needs for the half time show not the crap they keep shoving down out throats.
Remember the night rider...
FACTS!!!
What shit ghetto rap
He may be his father's son, but he's his own man and he stands alone under no one's shadow.
I'm in my 50's and I loved your dad growing up. F the grammy's. With you 1000%. I boycotted the lame ass grammy's long ago anyways. You rock homeboy.
Amen!
Grammys was once the highlight of my year. I quit watching years ago. They've done a horrible disservice to those who won when it meant something. You did the right thing, Wolf. Grammy who? 😘❤😘❤😘
Man, this flat out ROCKS! Caught a track on the radio and it blew me away, and when they said "Mammoth" at the cut's completion, I turned to my son and said: "I caught Ed in a band called Mammoth back in the 70's at my high school". I was puzzled, as I thought the name was likely copyright protected. A week later another cut came blowing through the airwaves, and it also flat-out kicked ass. A couple-few months went by and something Bettencourt was saying about Eddie got me to thinking about the Mammoth days and early VH parties over at what was a huge rehearsal studio (not a Warner's property... damn, my memory from the period in the early 1980's is vague, but I think it was over at the old A&M fortress on La La Brea). All of which led me to pull up some Mammoth material via youtube. Now it all makes perfect sense. Very cool, indeed!
This kid is super talented but his voice is amazing. Never expected his voice to be so powerful.
That's real, solid, refreshing, and pleasantly unexpected . HELL YES !
I'm just an old lady, but this song rocks! When you get on tour, I'm there.
You're obviously young at heart girl.
I'm 59,my wife 63 and we love VH,miss EVH and are embracing WVH doing his thing and this makes the B.S. of the world go away for a bit.My wife is terminal but I hope she gets to see Wolfie on tour before she goes.
If not then she gets to hang with Eddie before I do.
Rock on,WVH brought light and joy back ito a bleak world.
Hope to see you there Angie.
@Vincent Junio I will be 61 next month so the '70s rock scene just a bit before then.
@@feellucky271 I am so sorry to hear about your wife. I hope this wish for her comes true. I will be 61 next month but not in my head if you know what I mean. Well, except I feel that old in the knees...
@@angiesherwood5400 Thank you Angie.
You're very sweet.We just take it one day at the time and try to live in the moment.
We just celebrated 17 years and I got her flowers and a .....vacuum cleaner.
She can't use it,that's my job as she gets winded so easily but the look of happiness on her face was just terrific.
She's just so sweet and so very tough I cannot imagine life without her.
Thanks for your kind words.
I am 48 and lived on the 80s metal scene. You are never too old to keep rocking
4:47 like the subtle nod to his dad
Yep. So This Is Love! Kickass!
Something, I think a LOT of people probably missed!
I think I also caught a string rake like Runnin' With the Devil. Just a quick beat that makes you smile.
"So This is Love"!
@@KikoJonesUSA if this isnt love why cant this be love
Listening to him for the 1st time because so many of my friends are at the concert in LR, AR tonight. Holy shit!!! So proud of him!!!
It's in his genes but this guy is his own man.... brilliant. A living tribute to his father. A living legacy. Jawdropping stuff!🤘🤘
This song kicks so much ass. Wolf is a musical genius. The arrangement is sick.
Kind of has a Marilyn Manson best to it..... I love it....
@Keith Nowak grandfather was apparently extremely talented, parents as well. It's only natural.
@@jasonrand7297 it sounds like Marylin on crack with a better arrangement and vocals.
Ya a new version of Burn it to the ground by Nickelback....real original
@@marcoamaro75 this is a rip off of Nickelbacks burn it to the ground
This is the 2nd time a Van Halen saved Rock and Roll
Couldn't get any better than this! Humor yet kicks serious ass!
Damn wolf you got it all Dad's guitar playing Uncle Alex's drumming killer vocals you are blessed my friend your father would be very proud
Wow wow finally somebody putting out some kick-ass music this song freaking is an instant classic. Kudos my young Van Halen.
And his mom's acting skills...
@@joshuabiddix2923 his grandfather would have freaked out over him.. Jan was the musician. EVH/AVH were just kids that watched father play in a band
@@dhaley9577 agreed!! I've not been impressed enough with artists to want to purchase their albums.. back in Eddie's day.. full albums were awesome.. nowadays? maybe one good cut.. Mammoth WVH will he the 1st full album that I purchase since like the 90s
Could Not have said it better🙄👍
Eddie knew how talented this young man was. "We gotta clean out over the garage and make a studio for you and me......or for you." 🎤🎧🎸
He using Pop's studio in this video...can't say I blame him...it's an awesome studio with great history...some great records have been made there, why not?
I love that he just so happens to be recording the video at 5150. No big deal... just the Motherland for VH fans.
Remember who Mom is......Wolf with the acting chops, as well as the musical chops.
Good god, I had such a crush on her as a kid
Wolf inspires me to believe in the future of rock and roll.
This is so refreshing, rock needs more of this. Your pops is smiling down on you
Not just your dad is proud of you your uncle which help you must be astonishing amzoned the way u beat those drums Not leaving out the way u played that guitar man your dad must have been hard on you because you're going too be one of the best the is yet to see God bless you wolf 🐺 don't ever quit or forget we're you came from
Awesome WVH I am a old 53 year old that grew up on your dads music Van Halen was my favorite band. But damn son you can jam. Your very talented and your music awesome please keep pumping out more. I love your sound.
Mad talented WVH.. Rock lives on 🐺🤘
Hes gonna save rock n roll cause hes a Van Halen😎
I wouldn’t except anything less from rock legends family the Van Halen’s !💯🎸🖤🔥🎤🎵
He's amazing!!!!
Rock lives on! We need these guys to keep it going
yeah he is
The apple didn't fall far from the tree. THIS IS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, Wolf. Keep it up!
Wolf Van Halen just dropped the most solid freakin rock album you’ve heard in years. A no-skip from top to bottom ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #MammothWVH
Can 100% agree it's a no-skip album.
I'll back the both of you up on the no-skip album gesture. This kind of album has been needed for quite some time. I want to go see this monster live in concert.
Absolutely, I love that WVH may have the blood for this stuff, but he’s definitely got his own sound!
Yeah in years, I love it
@@Goss5079 The bloodline seems notorious for saving music and bringing back the true definition of music while setting the gold standard. Definitely his own man! I might have started playing guitar because of EVH, but WVH is sure going to keep my drive and motivation going. I'm completely dumbfounded by this album. Last album I wanted to play stemmed from the mid 90's. This now gives me some more to rock out to on my own.
I have to say I love Wolfgang VH he’s truly amazing doing his dad proud he also has one of the coolest names Ever 😊😊🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥😊
Wow what an inspiration! Every instrument! 🙌🤟🔥👌🎸 Your Dad would be so proud 👌👌👌👌
He is
I'm gold Let It Go with grieve happy Fourth of July Bonnie Jo Smith
TRUTH!!
I think these guys are going to be big!
@@johnslugger lol cant tour with 1 guy on stage...talent or not
Musical talent from dad and acting chops from mom. This guy is going places! 😃
He has an uncle who is a pretty good drummer too
I was gonna say. “great acting “!
I agree!! Talent from both parents......love it!!
So touching. I grew up watching your dad. He raised such a kind and talented son. Wow.
I’m just happy that true musicianship is still alive
His “pops” definitely gave him some good musical genes!🤘
his mama helped too! being an actress in live preszure situations. Ed said he thought he ckuld be a legit actor like his mom!
Raise your hand if you knew Wolf was going to rock it!!!🤷🏼♂️🤣
It's wonderful to see that Wolf is forging his own path in music, instead of relying on the Van Halen name to carry him along. He is crazy talented, and I can't wait to continue watching him on his musical journey.
Wolfie, you have amazing talent.
This kid is mad talented!!🤘 ..Sounds like he had some good teachers 😉
That was cheesy
He said his dad was a terrible teacher. That’s funny. This is badass.
“Here son, play it like this.”
“Fuck you Dad, your Eddie Van Halen.”
😂
@@hoosierfan4life836 His Eddie Van Halen what?
He learned everything on his own. No Dad or uncle Alex he said in several interviews after Eddie passed.
Holy hell! This song kicks ass, and this is coming from a 56 y/o dude whom survived the 90s Grunge movement.
Your father would be proud, WVH.
