Jerry Cantrell tells the story in his Gibson episode about EVH and Valerie having Wolf in her arms as he is soundchecking while AIC is opening for VH. He is a fan and this song is proof! So good!
@@deadlotCamper Yeah, this might be one of the first times he has really impressed me. I keep trying to give him a chance, since I still always think of him as a bass player. Just from when I saw him with Van Halen back in 2007. or as a drummer. Maybe it’s just the way he plays. I don’t think he was wood shedding on guitar as a kid, as much as maybe bass or drums. But he is really catching up, and playing well. I see his dad and his face, and once in a while in his playing. Oh, and nature and environment are very different from each other. But I think I know what you meant. The old nature/nurture debate. So the nurturing aspect of your point, can possibly be just as important as nature. Or, his natural ability. Coincidentally, I’m stopped at a red light here at Wilshire and Western in Koreatown. The Wiltern theater right to my right, where I first saw Mammoth WVH a couple years ago. I saw him more recently in downtown LA. 🤘🏻😝🎸🇺🇸
@heyjarrod Thanks for telling me your experience. I was at first apprehensive on his music but After seeing him and how truly thankful he is warmed my heart for his music. I hate it when people compare him to his dad!!! He is his own person and is playing his own music and style. I think he will put out some incredible music in the future. Thanks again for your comment!!!
I saw the F..K tour the first time seeing VH...AIC opened up. They played two nights at the Meadowlands Arena i was there both nights. First night we sat close to right side where eddie was. Jerry was sitting in the area watching Eddie play for the first half hr of the show!!! Shows were amazing!
@@Wiggle8789 Sorry, I can't tell if that was a supportive or sarcastic comment. Some of us have bigger breaks than others, we should still enjoy their amazing gift. Playing in the shadow of the greatest rock guitarist in history it had to be very difficult to get any credit. ✌✌
Wolfgang can SHRED on guitar when he wants to. But his natural style is to be more restrained. Look up the vid of him playing the Hot For Teacher solo live with Foo Fighters. He hits every note and it sounds just like the studio version. There is not a better live version of EVH playing that solo.
I seriously doubt it . Maybe if you lost some weight and bought some conditioner for his hair he would have half a chance. This is no better than a bar band . He's milking his old man's name and he's ringing out the tit but he could never live up to his old man style or flash. He just f****** stands there . 😮
Wolfgang Van Halen…first of his name, son of Edward Van Halen the Great, king of the misfits and the headbangers, keeper of the torch of rock n roll, protector of the realm of THE METAL & rightful heir to the iron throne of electric rock guitar! Long live Wolfgang Van Halen!!!
Thank you Edward and Valerie for this gift. Like, you guys haven't given enough?!? Unbelievable talent. Incredible bloodline. Wolf is an amazing musician 🤟 WoW
@@shannonbiggers3312 Ok Negative Nancy. I was just trying to show how great they sound. But you like raining on my parade. Thanks. Bit that is why I said PROBABLY almost never play it.
@@mquin2112 There is video of them playing it in February 2022. Google 'how many times has mammoth played them bones?' to find more videos of them playing it (and reaction videos) as well as articles etc.
I know I kept watching him come towards the Mic hoping he would sing he would have killed it. Heavy guitar love this song from ANC's. I think they covered this song and Wolfgang did sing it was awesome gotta look it up. 🔥👍
Those only work on Floyds. WVH is more of a fixed bridge kind of guy. Kubicki made a drop tuner that operated at the headstock, so that sort of thing could be implemented but idk if there’s a similar product on the market for guitar yet. It would likely take significant modification.
@@aries1254 I am the biggest Van Halen fan, and my good old days were the 80's. Loved Eddie, and still do. I am a drummer and played with the same band for a decade back then. We were really good. When we formed our guitarist was only 15. I was 16. Our guitarist would practice for hours and hours every day. Hell we all did. He developed a following as "that kid that can play Eruption". We covered a lot of Van Halen tunes, including Hot For Teacher. Man those days were awesome! Anyway, Wolfgang, your pop would be so proud of your music! You absolutely have the gift. I know a lot of people were wondering how you would fill your dad's shoes. Man, you are doing a fine job being you, and doing your own great things! I have to admit though, it was such a joy watching you play at Taylor Hawkins tribute. I knew right then and there you were super legit! Keep doing great things, and don't sweat anything Dave says. I find him to be a lot like an old Jackass braying. His legacy could have faired much better just being remembered as a kick ass 80's front man. Now he is the dumbass who is bullying Eddie Van Halen's son. Eff em.

yes witnessed it. not only is it in his actual DNA, but environmental factors also play into his natural talent
I was 21 at the time and caught that tour in November 1991 🤘 The times they were-a-changin'.

Wolfgang is the real deal. Having to escape a shadow is such an understatment here. No excuses. He is a monster just like daddy.
Ya, I'm sure we'd be listening to him right now if his father wasn't EVH...

Really? He is only famous because of his father.if he was my son he wouldnt be shit
@@banjominer9682 says more about you than him
Trying to escape the shadow then calls his band Mammoth, the original band name of Van Halen. Haha!!
Nailed that solo to a T
Must run in the blood
Dad is proud upstairs

Dad is not upstairs
Hardly
How you solo with a wah without a wah pedal....he isnt soloing shit
It's ynical
If they don't play this live, they should. I respect he played the solo note for note until his own ending. Salute to AIC and Jerry Cantrell
Everytime I see him throw in a little finger tap here and there like that, I imagine it's like saying "hey pop!"
Awesome
“Let me see if I remember it.” ~Entire band proceeds to jam tighter than the original. ❤
Yeah they fucking ruled that better than Alice in chains
It’s not exactly tough stuff to play.
You’re not a player are you??
Totally
Heroin has that effect
Need some singing to.... awesome
One of the coolest solos ever
That solo was 🔥🔥🔥
Wolfie proves everyday that he’s going to be a legend.
I seriously doubt it . Maybe if you lost some weight and bought some conditioner for his hair he would have half a chance. This is no better than a bar band . He's milking his old man's name and he's ringing out the tit but he could never live up to his old man style or flash. He just f****** stands there . 😮
I always think that wolf is Chumlee from old pawn star clips when I see him on youtube
Wolf chum
@@Drawfornoone HAHAHA!

Sadly, he won't be long lived if he keeps putting on weight.
Metal? 😂😂😂
@@Mari000 that was mostly a Tenacious D reference but yeah, since they’re covering a heavy metal song in this video I thought it was appropriate.
@@AudioNaut93 don’t think AIC is metal
@@Mari000 than what would you call it? That shit sounded pretty fuckin heavy to me.
Thank you Edward and Valerie for this gift. Like, you guys haven't given enough?!? Unbelievable talent. Incredible bloodline. Wolf is an amazing musician 🤟 WoW
Bringing actual ROCK N ROLL back into circulation!
Wow so good! I could hear Layne in my head singing along 😢
I was thinking that same thing. They sounded tight ass tight. Love that flavor in the solo daayum
That was tight and badass.. Wolfgang you fucking rock! Great band altogether
Nobody dares to to emulate Layne Stales Voice.
Let me just randomly pull out that song that I probably almost never play and play it flawlessly in a rehearsal 🤯
They have played it.

@@mquin2112you’re just wrong and said some dumb shit and got defensive.
Sorry your “parade” got rained on but that was stupid of you
@@mquin2112 ok.
The way he giggles when he says let me see if i can remember it is awesome
Holy shit what a monster sound!
No shit. Wolfgang is The next Van Halen. Lol I am amazed by his natural abilities,but he had huge shoes to fill. Imagine how hard he practiced.
Monster sound? No, MAMMOTH sound!
That’s the EVH 5150 sound for you lol. “Gnarly even on the clean channel” as quoted from Ola Englund
@@jessestumpf190 sorta, he's not using the variac or moded Marshall's lol
@@jessestumpf190 He has a lot of pedals, maybe the EVH 5150 isn't his favourite sound.
That is VAN HALEN talent for ya:
Bam. Nailed. Next.
Great to see a drummer smashing the kit as drummers should.
Wolfgang seems like such a down to earth guy. I love that about him!
Best heavy song ever written 🎉
Wish he would have sung this. His voice is so powerful
I know I kept watching him come towards the Mic hoping he would sing he would have killed it. Heavy guitar love this song from ANC's. I think they covered this song and Wolfgang did sing it was awesome gotta look it up. 🔥👍
Amazing, Wolfgang you do your father and Jerry Cantrell proud. 😎👏👏👏
That tone
His Dad loved that song! Respect ✊🏼
@shodopoet Thanks for the comment 👍 His dad's favorite song that wolf wrote is Distance just a little fun fact.
He seems so sweet. Also holy hell, great player.
@inkhands Yes he's actually down to earth. On my channel I have the band answering questions in one of my posts.
He is real good and he will breakthrough in a big way soon. Rock needs him right now!
OMG! Much respect to Mammoth and Wolfgang Van Halen! “Like Father Like Son!”#AIC#🎸🔥🤘🏻
This is tight, unbelievably tight. And the drummer is out of this world
Wolf is awesome - he totally nailed this song and solo 🤘
I was thinking Mammoth ought to be the next Super Bowl halftime show
0:28 - Wolfie should use one of those D-Tunas...
Those only work on Floyds. WVH is more of a fixed bridge kind of guy. Kubicki made a drop tuner that operated at the headstock, so that sort of thing could be implemented but idk if there’s a similar product on the market for guitar yet. It would likely take significant modification.
Sounds great! Love me some AIC! VH was always my favorite band though. Wolfgang is very talented like his dad.
He fuckin killed it! This is really the first time I paid him any mind… and he won me over! He jammed on this cover! 🤘🤘
Always waiting for the Layne stayley aaaaagghhhhhhhh!!!!!
They grow up so fast !
Man these guys as a group are tight AF. So awesome !
Wow.
@supermutharunna Thanks for the WOW 👌
LITERALLY THE ONLY PERSON ALIVE WHO CAN NAIL EDDIE'S TONE!!!
That’s crap, and this is nothing like Ed’s tone.
Love seeing him using the EVH on stage. He could use anything, and chooses his Dads signature amp. #classact
wolf that was so bad ass, dude you are killing it , hope all is well with ya and the band ,
Chumlee playing guitar 😂
These guys are so good together
Dude, how you ended that solo was freaking badass!
“Let me see if I remember it…”
*Remembers it perfectly*
❤️❤️❤️❤️🤘🤘🤘🤘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That snare is FIRE
Wolf is a freak of nature…. The apple did not fall far from the tree
He really looks like Chumley these days
Dudes gonna be a legend himself 🤘
Damn!
The WOLF!!!🎸
Sounds killer!
I loved that he immediately went into drop d tuning
Wow 👏🏻 👏🏻
Kid, your hired!!!!
Wow ❤
@john1dsmk4 Thanks 😊
Go Carnivore Wolfgang, you'll "Shred" just like your plsying👍
🤘♠️
Shit, that's a very tight sound. Very cool
Every time I hear him play I think I’m more astounded than the last time. He has such insane talent!!!
EVH left us with a gift. His name is Wolfgang. Epic guitar playing just like dad but different.
THAT WAS AWESOME!!!
I love this guy.
Wolf oozes musical talent.
NAILED it!
Flawless ❤
Just Amazing Talent!!!
Thanks for posting this!
Love this!!
Outstanding!
Glad you like it!

Alice in Halen. I love it. Wolfie makes it look so easy
This gave me goosebumps.
Awesome!!!
“Let’s see if I can remember it..” whole band proceeds to fucking rock it, love it!
Love it!!!!!
The main point I take from this video is that Wolfie doesn't endorse the D'tuna.
Sooooo good!!
Awesome 🤘
Wow that was so dam cool
That was great.
That’s epic!!
I was having my doubts that Wolf would ever progress past Foo Fighter sounding songs. This gives me hope that he will be a heavy rocker like his dad.
@monkeyrater I have some killer footage I took of Wolf I took five months ago on my channel. I think you will like. Thanks for your comment 👍
Awesome
Bad ass!!! 💚🎸
Good cover by Wolfie & Crew
That was beautiful
Wolfy is such a bad ass!!
That was really good and I’m a huge fan of AIC.
Incredible!!
Nice! Cheers 🍻
You are my new favorite!! Great job Wolf!
Wow. Has the feel man. Love it!!!!!
It’s like Eddies still alive. Awesome shit! #WVH 🙏🏼
Great job 👏
Holy S*** Fuggin rocked that shiznit Dayum \m/
Hell yeah!!! Sounds spot on!!! Bad ass
So insanely tight. Good lord.
Every band should this many rhythm guitars in it!!!!
Badass!
