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 ;)
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 🎵🎸🎤🎶🥁
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.
@@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.
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.
I love this video! Such a clever way to showcase that Wolfie played everything on the album! So thankful to have the Van Halen legacy alive and well thanks to Mammoth WVH!!! Can't wait to see you live again man!!!!
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.
As much as I am a huge VH fan, I am very happy to hear that this sounds nothing like VH. It kicks ass and the 12 dislikes are either too closed minded to give it a chance or just have bad taste. Rock on dude!!!
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.
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
So glad this kid stuck to his guns and didn't try to sound like anybody other than himself. I would imagine there were plenty of people looking to him to be the younger version of his father. I dig his style, tone, writing, all of it. Keep up the great work Wolfman!
Damn Wolfie! Suddenly the future is looking a whole lot brighter. I've been saying for years - where the hell is the next generation of rock musicians? The old guys never went away, the 70's & 80's just stuck around. 90's hit and disappeared and nothing stuck after that. FINALLY got a contender worth listening to. You continue to do Ed and rock fans proud. Can't wait for this album. Well done Wolf, and Wolf, and Wolf, and Wolf, and Wolfie, and Wolfgang and.... i think I forgot someone.... did i already say Wolf?
@@kitoyobeni1 Yes couldn't agree more rocks not dead its just not the most popular mainstream genre anymore, but thier are plenty of great bands out at the moment just have to search a little harder.
You know? Forget “legacy”! Wolf is in a league of his own. Absolutely outstanding! I love the sense of humor! It reminds me of Eddie always smiling when playing. Awesome music, awesome sense of humor. I’m sold! I’m officially a fan!
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.
I fucking LOVE the video, the music, your unique sound and you're a badass vocalist!!! I'm a forever fan and not just cuz you're a Van Halen!!! You're artistry is pure fire!!!🔥🤟🤟
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
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. 😁
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 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.
Wolf, your Dad would be so proud of you for writing a PHENOMENAL song and making such a PHENOMENAL video! I bet you that he's looking down from Heaven with a huge smile on his face for sure! PHENOMENALLY done Wolfgang VanHalen, it's a BANGER! 🏹❣️🏹🙏❣️🙏 4:07
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'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.
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!
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.
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.
This is the coolest music video that I've watched in 30+ years & probably the best rock song I've heard in 20 years! Great job Wolf! I bet your Dad is smiling down from above like crazy!
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
I'm always a bit wary of rocks stars' kids when they get into music...but Wolf has definitely shown that he doesn't need to walk in his dad's shadow. Kid has chops for days and a great set of pipes. Nice work kid...you should be proud of carving your own sound.
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!
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 didn't see this coming--I was just blindsided by a freight train. This is awesome. I had heard the song, but seeing Wolfie playing everything, it puts in perspective how good he really is. At this point, he should take the world by storm and really make a name for himself. The video has that innocence of the early videos of MTV; that gives it life and makes it top notch. This is one of the best things I have seen lately on RUclips and the world of music. This guy is on fire! Thank you for sharing. I can only hope, as a singer songwriter myself, that I could have an ounce of this talent for my music. WOW!
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.
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? 😘❤😘❤😘
@@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
Just hearing this for the first time right now. I'm seeing Mammoth on Friday in Jersey and I didn't even know it was your project!! lol Awesome writing and AWESOME VOICE, brotha!!! Rock on!!! \m/
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.
When you asked your dad “what if it sucks” he said “impossible” I think your dad in that one word knew you had to much talent to suck. I thought it sounded great and you have a lot more to give. Can’t wait to hear more. That’s a good thing
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.
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.
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 😎
You're kidding, right? The son of EVH who grew up with privlage, a silver spoon, and a father who's one of the most legendary rock guitarists in history. That's literally why he carried his father's tradition as a musician. His dad would bring him on stage as a kid and he just felt anointed in a sense. He literally thinks he's a musical gift to the world. He's the exactly what you suggested he isn't, which is why you must be joking.
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’m 55 years old man, and this kicks ASS, I don’t need to tell you , you have everything it takes bro,keep writing, keep playing,keep rocking, Great job.....

How many is there dad?

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.
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….

Creating an entire album by himself? Like his dad, this guy's a *GENIUS!*
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.

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.

Don't forget taking up ALL available space with yer sh*t as well!! ;)
The look of disapproval from "Bass Player" Wolf at "Drummer" Wolf is priceless. Love the song and video.

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!
His father raised quite a talent.
True, but let’s not forget his mama Valerie : )
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.
Respect to his father and all that he did, but this young man can stand on his own. He has his own sound. Excellent work sir!
Preach!
Absolutely. This is fucking awesome.
agree 100%
100%
Agree 👍
This young man is a gift! THANK YOU for sharing your talents with us!
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
Jesus, can play like crazy, got his own sound, style, funny, an great vocals, very very impressive... well done wolfy...
@@robhamel6444 right??? somewhere up there, Ed's smiling down... filled with pride...
Wolfgang. Fire the drummer. He was late. Know a guy. His names Wolfgang. Be perfect for your band.
😆😆😆
This is the coolest music video that I've watched in 30+ years & probably the best rock song I've heard in 20 years! Great job Wolf! I bet your Dad is smiling down from above like crazy!
Your going crazy!
Wolf isn’t “forging his own path”...he kicked the fuckin door down..
No, He just drove a freaking TANK through it, then proceeded to level the entire building.
His father would be proud.
Van " F*ckin' Halen!!! This family and their music are like Rome- It's a State of Mind and Eternal!
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
Dude... this is so awsome. Modern sound with an 80s retro vibe.... word cant describe my utter joy listening to this. Just wow
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!
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...
I'm always a bit wary of rocks stars' kids when they get into music...but Wolf has definitely shown that he doesn't need to walk in his dad's shadow. Kid has chops for days and a great set of pipes. Nice work kid...you should be proud of carving your own sound.
How can you even HEAR his voice under the layering and digital effects?
Pop rock garbage.
After a certain amount of talent, it really comes down to song writing and arranging.
@@Stubbsified ...
@@Stubbsified Coming from a guy I never heard of 😂🤣😂 Shut up and let the real musicians do their work .
What have you put out......
Thank God, A band worthy of listening too! I'm 51, My oldies are just that, old and tired needing to retire some of them. This is tight! 🤘🤘
Did you notice it's the same guy playing all the instruments (awesomely)
Way cool 😎
I’m 53 and I agree with you this kicks ass I need some new rock and roll
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...
This is INSANE! Tornado of talent. Holy mother of God. Ed did not oversell him. #GOWOLF
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
You guys were my highlight of the Metallica show in Gothenburg! You guys were tighter than any of the other acts and sounded amazing. New fan here 🤘
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.
He may be his father's son, but he's his own man and he stands alone under no one's shadow.
This is the 2nd time a Van Halen saved Rock and Roll
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.
Now that’s what I call a wolf gang
this.
I didn't see this coming--I was just blindsided by a freight train. This is awesome. I had heard the song, but seeing Wolfie playing everything, it puts in perspective how good he really is. At this point, he should take the world by storm and really make a name for himself. The video has that innocence of the early videos of MTV; that gives it life and makes it top notch. This is one of the best things I have seen lately on RUclips and the world of music. This guy is on fire! Thank you for sharing. I can only hope, as a singer songwriter myself, that I could have an ounce of this talent for my music. WOW!
The kid is a force to be reckoned with, extremely talented and humble + the humor in this video, got love that!
Kid? He’s 30.
@@thefonzkiss That's a kid. Your not an adult until 75.
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.
@@jimchesnutt7879 Eddie knew what he was doing a musical beast in the making
@@jimchesnutt7879 Eddie knew what he was doing a musical beast in the making
it's not that bad wolf. it's perfection.
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? 😘❤😘❤😘
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🙄👍
The apple didn't fall far from the tree. THIS IS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, Wolf. Keep it up!
Just hearing this for the first time right now. I'm seeing Mammoth on Friday in Jersey and I didn't even know it was your project!! lol Awesome writing and AWESOME VOICE, brotha!!! Rock on!!! \m/
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
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.
When you asked your dad “what if it sucks” he said “impossible” I think your dad in that one word knew you had to much talent to suck. I thought it sounded great and you have a lot more to give. Can’t wait to hear more. That’s a good thing
I love it! Talent! ❤Eddie’s grinning in Heaven, Wolfie! And I’m grinning ear to ear here on Earth! 💝✝️🤗🙏🏻 #holymagick
I was blown away. His talent stands alone without the name. And Hella voice. Rock ain't dead!!!
Amen!!
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.
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.
Damm wolf 🐺 gang van Halen nation that is a sweet song 🎵 brother i really like the style of ur music 🎶 wishing you the best brother ❤
“We can fix that right ?” 😂😂 this guy 🙏🏼👍🏼🔥
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
Wolfie has a sense of humor & Eddie’s hair. I think we’ll be hearing a lot from him in the future.
Humor just like his dad.
God I hope so. !! SO good.
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
This has been my favorite song since I heard it 2 weeks ago!
He’s too modest to know or admit.....but he’s more important to rock music than he knows....
Well described fella. I concur.
Very true! :-)
💯 agree
Couldn't agree more
You're kidding, right? The son of EVH who grew up with privlage, a silver spoon, and a father who's one of the most legendary rock guitarists in history. That's literally why he carried his father's tradition as a musician. His dad would bring him on stage as a kid and he just felt anointed in a sense. He literally thinks he's a musical gift to the world. He's the exactly what you suggested he isn't, which is why you must be joking.
Maybe we won't have a bunch of lead singer drama with this band.
Why has this comment not blown up.....lol
LMFAO!!!!!
If you add DLR you might have problems.
Just say'n'.
😂😂
gold
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
It's in your DNA! Your Dad is smiling ear to ear! 👏👏👏👍👌😎
I haven't been this excited about rock music for a long time. We definitely need more of this.
So true missed it..
I agree
Love it🥰😱😁 Wolfgang you are awesome 👍
Wolf has become his own man and musician, his father would be proud. Best rock song I’ve heard in a long time and yea I’m 58 yrs old..
52 here..drummer for 40 plus years.
Great song, great vid.
All Wolfgang.
@@hipgroove68 I play a little guitar and drums myself , this was new and good to hear ..
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!
That ending was too good!
@@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!👍💜🙏
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!
Wolfie, you have amazing talent.
Dude ,I’m 55 years old man, and this kicks ASS, I don’t need to tell you , you have everything it takes bro,keep writing, keep playing,keep rocking,
Great job.....
im 64 and really excited about this Album! Finally some real Music. Cant wait for the Tour
I’m 55, and I agree.
The 18 dislikes are all the other Wolfs that never made the cut.
You win the internet today! LOL!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol ikr
no reason for anyone to dislike this , they should be deleted from being able to comment on music .
One was Dave
The kids got some serious chops.
And that voice, he’s gonna go far. And all on his own. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
It’s been 40 years since I’ve been seriously on board with a new band and I’m back and I’m all in with you Wolfe 😎🤘🤘🎸
@@MammothWolfgang Thank you I caught the show in Arlington Tx last month and got there early to see y’all and so glad I did.

Is it true that you practice on guitar hero
Wolf inspires me to believe in the future of rock and roll.
F$$# yeah Rock on!!
Remember who Mom is......Wolf with the acting chops, as well as the musical chops.
