THAT guitar and THAT amp make a sound that nothing else can...IN the hands of a Van Halen. It's obviously cool to hear that Wolf has the fingers and the touch. He doesn't sound like Ed. But, he sounds like a "Van Halen" should. The guy has the DNA, but it takes tremendous effort to put it to work. He clearly has.
And we all thought Ed's gift to us was his own playing... Wolf is Ed's true masterpiece. What a gift... Sky's the limit for WVH. He's the best there is in my opinion. Nobody does it like that anymore...
And his father would have it no other way! Ed had been singing Wolf's praises for a very long time. (He didn't bring him into Van Halen just because he was his son, which of course he loved immensely, he did so because the kid could flat out play!). Ed heard the 1st album before anyone of course, & had been telling everyone, "Just wait until you hear it!". He KNEW how good the music is. What a happy conclusion for Wolfgang, all of his individual success, amongst such intense sadness at the loss of his father, & best friend. Ed was extremely proud of Wolfgang & would no doubt be thrilled with how this song turned out. Wolf killed it! ❤️🎶🎸
He learned from one of the best guitar players and got a bonus gift of an amazing drummer for an uncle. Who obviously had this man on his knee as a child. He's a double, scratch that, that a triple threat ❤ great pipes as well❤❤
I agree! I first heard his voice on the radio and immediately thought *I have to know who this is* I can't place why I love his voice so much but it's awesome.
Fisrt time in my almost 50 yrs on this planet, that I cried during a guitar solo... Such a huge part of many of us lost a piece of our childhood when EVH left us. It will always be very raw emotions for me. Eddie brought me so many smiles and happiness, watching him play,hearing him,and his glorious smile. Thank you,Wolf..for keeping him still here with us, through you and your music.
As a 60-year old guy who has grown up with a wide variety of musical interests, I have to say that I LOVE this song, the writing, the playing, the vocals, everything. Wolfie, you have absolutely evolved into your own person. Congratulations to you. I just hope everyone else will realize who you are, and what you have to offer, as opposed to just being "Eddie's kid." This is amazing stuff. Definitely 90s alt-rock inspired, but a timeless feel to it.
This is my favorite thing he's done so far. Wont be an easy road but he will carve out his own spot. Real music fans will be his following. His Dads shoes are giant. He's smart enough to know he's making his own shoes. Rock on Wolfie!
Somehow you can just hear that is Frankie in the solo! That squeal and harmonics are so good to hear again. Wolf, you rock brother and your Dad is proud as hell! 🤘
Great song Wolf! I lost my mother to oral cancer right after your dad passed away. She was the same age as him too. I grew up on Van Halen. I am not trying to compare necessarily but you keep going and I’ll keep going too. I guess I feel a bit of kindredship with you from a distance. I’m just a small town dude who misses his mom and EVH as well. I’ll keep playing my guitar too. It’s so hard to be without my mom Wolf. And I know you understand. Keep rocking.
This is some of Wolf Van Halen’s finest musicianship!! I absolutely love everything about this song!! You can hear shades of his father, but Wolf’s unique sound shines through like a beacon in the darkness!! This song signifies everything that MammothWVH is! I can’t wait to see this song played live! The freaking emotion alone is beautifully expressed through each note! Well done, Wolf!! ❤️🙌🏻❤️
I've said this before, but I have to say it again, I LOVE WOLFIES VOCALS!! like a fresh drink of water. No shade at your dad because I love my van Halen, but wolfie you seriously are a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Thanks for keeping rock alive
@@jasonbeckley8106 Bin 72 und hatte daher das Glück, sehr viele Musiker über die Jahrzehnte gehört zu haben.. aber Musik dieser Art, Hard Rock, auch Metal, mag ich am liebsten.
All those years of Eddie saying “ wait until you hear Wolfies album” was such an understatement of what it actually is. His talent is just as awesome as his father and Uncle but his own, and different. When I think back to when he was a teen going out with Vanhalen my first thought was that’s child abuse lol never played in front of 50 people so let’s put him in front of 20;000 lol then remembering Sammy saying in interviews he was playing and singing to a tape lol as a 57 year old man who’s first concert experience was first watching AC/DC followed by Vanhalen at a day on the green in 1978, I have to say I get the same shock and awe and warmth every time I hear Wolfes music. That solo was perfect……..Vanhalen DNA but different in a great way. This is what music needs right now. My kids got me tickets to his show here in August and I can’t wait
That solo is on fire….It is so good I’ve listened to it so many times.. It’s kinda like when I first heard, “Distance “ it just reaches out and grabs hold..Wolfgang is an amazing artist…
Just read that the solo was played on his dad's Frankenstein and Marshall amp. That's epic! Got a real EVH vibe from it but in Wolfgangs own style. What a time to be alive.
Wow, what a powerhouse of a lead! From the patient pauses in attack matching the percussive themes built into the song, to the little chromatic runs, to the extremely well placed tapping techniques all wrapped in a swing serving melody that can only come from part God part Dad but delivered through the soul and hands of Wolfgang. What a wonderful balance of honoring the father while being his own person. Dude, you just simply rock and thank you for being an important part of keeping Rock alive.
I was on vacation too Gran Canaria at Puerto de Mogan, sitting on the beach, watching my kid play in the water, the sun was setting down, then this song started playing, gave me instant goosebumps, this is a great song, and will always remember this moment.
I’ll tell you what’s devastating - that entire song! The best sounding rock sound since the last Mammoth WVH album. Wolfie - you definitely have your father’s touch in that solo. Fuck me, what a tune.😮
Oh boy...can't wait for the Justin Hawkins Rides again comments about this one... great song, and hearing that solo played with his father's guitar and amp... what a great time to be alive! Goosebumps....
Dude has a talent for writing catchy hooks and then arranging and overdubbing extra instrumental accents and melodies to make the song sound huge. That whole guitar solo section is killer.
An interview with Michael Anthony brought me here. When Mike Anthony said “I heard the track Take a Bow and the solo sounds exactly like something his dad (EVH) would play and in fact, Wolf played the solo on one of his dad’s guitars with one of his dads old Marshall amps”… I couldn’t get here fast enough.😂
@timw.6910 same here. For some reason I've been listening to a lot of Van Halen interviews. Also just finished the audio book Eruption. Truly a fantastic book that gives new insight on Eddie's life...
Incredible song. The hair stood up on my arms when the solo started, because it's the old school VH sound. Great job! Wolfgang has developed his own sound with hints of his lineage. Incredible.
Frankie sounds amazing! Same great tone. Warm and familiar. Like coming home... yet Wolf injects his own signature into the sound, as well. A perfect fusion of old and new.
I am listening at this solo on repeat for days... maan , thats one iconic solo... this song needs official video... in some desert with guitar sredding... :D
I think what's so great about wolfie is he's carving his own part and not competing with his dad. But the apple don't fall far from the tree and that solo is defo something evh would be proud to play.
I saw these guys live two days ago, when they were opening for Def Leppard at Marlay Park in Dublin. I had no idea that they were going to be as good as they were, but when they played this song, I was blown away by the guitar playing and song writing of WVH🤘
That looks to me the biggest challenge, making it work live. His band have their work cut out for them. I’m hoping they headline Lollapalooza in ‘25. I will be there for that.
It’s like WVH had Eddie’s soul come through on that solo. Man that was hella good. I hope he brings back that Frankenstrat & Marshall combo more. Cuz that tone is one of a kind & only WVH can do it
This brought a tear to my eye!! Watching and hearing this young man find his place in music, is just amazing!!! Between the loss of his father, and the unfair comparisons to a man that no one will ever compare to, I think Wolf has proven that he’s the absolute real deal, and will continue to do the Van Halen name proud!!
What a song!! I am so happy that Wolf is blazing his own way but also paying perfect homage to his dad. This is precisely how a child should be!! Bravo!!
To attend & witness Wolfs tribute to Taylor & to his Pop that night was pure magic! This song undeniably has surpassed the sheer brilliance of what we know of Wolfs talents & what a beautiful tribute to his Pop by playing his infamous Frankenstrat that didn’t just strike a chord but heartstrings as well! The melody, harmonic structure, soaring vocals, grungy bass lines, lyrics, the list goes on! I’m so excited to hear mammoth ll in its entirety and so excited that he & his music is here for generations to come! I’m so happy to see that happening for Wolf! Phenomenal!!
I was at the LA Tribute show and I didnt think it was possible for someone to sound THAT much like his Father. I Was absolutely FLOORED. RIP TAYLOR HAWKINS AND EVH
BRAVO! Everything this kid touches turns to gold! Amazing piece of musicianship Wolf! It is a pleasure to watch you grow and show the world who you really are! Love It!!!! ...and the solo had such a great timing and feel to it. Man...Amazing stuff!!!
Upon 2nd listen, I'm almost 100% positive that's Ed's Frankenstrat being used in the solo section. You can literally hear the tone. It was mentioned on a podcast it was being used somewhere on this record (Ola Englund "Coffee with Ola" podcast perhaps)? Can't remember which podcast it was. Pretty sure this is the track.
I had to listen to your song twice. Once for the lyrics and then for the guitar. Amazing. I love that your work stands out from anything else in popular music. Twenty first century rock, for sure.
That solo sent chills down my back.... When your dad said you should hear some of Wolf's stuff it's incredible... He wasn't lying... I'm gonna have to buy the next CD... The first one is awesome... Really good song!!
This guy keeps on handing out surprises in musical form, like Santa does presents at Christmas time... This track utterly slays.... It's completely unpredictable, and it's beautiful at the same time. So far, it's my favorite track on this album. Somewhere up there, Edward is grinning from ear to ear, with tears in his eyes. Everything he said about Wolf is true.
Can anyone begin to wrap their head around how immensely proud his dad would be? The best yet from young Mr. Van Halen and I think he’s just beginning to find himself musically.
Wolfgang has become a tremendous musician his dad would definitely be very proud of him. This song is a great song and I hear his dad‘s guitar you can almost hear a little bit of his dad coming through his son how amazing is that. I watched his dad start his career and watch it to the very end of his life and now for me to be witnessing his son taken up on his own career I’m a very fortunate man and I will be supporting him throughout his career keep up the good work. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I can imagine Wolfgang playing the solo to this and paying homage to his Dad, sweat and tears pouring down in the studio. Very musical solo and rhythm reminds me of the solo section to In the Dead of night by UK. Awesome to hear what comes out of this kid musically, whether he is a Van Halen or not.
This is the song that’s get you on main stream young man!! Keep shining!! Your dad is grinning ear to ear w that big smile he had watching down on you!!
Awesome song Wolfie!!!! I can clearly hear this is one of songs that you used your Dad's axe and rig on..... sounded awesome! Can't wait to hear the next release!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sophomore album I’m watching Wolfgang grow up, as in this is a wonderfully awesome album. It’s not about reliving Van Halen, Wolfgang is very talented, can sing well. I absolutely love the songs. Yeah he could sit around and play guitar for the 80’s crowd. But he’s formed a hell of a 2023 band that’s very much different. I love to watch his talent. He makes great music thsts all his own. His dad may be the most famous guitarist ever but this young man is in no one’s shadow, he’s damn talented.
Literally got chills listening to this. WOW!!! The solo...pure bliss!! Wolf may be the son of a rock god but he is proving he has his own unique style that deserves to be noticed. I can't say enough great things about his music. Congratulations Wolf, you literally just blew this 58 year old gal away with your talent.
I love it! I don’t consider this channeling Ed. This solo is a good example of the style Wolfgang is forging on his own. He’s has an excellent mix of both thought out tasty controlled phrasing AND spontaneous exciting interruptions. Well done Wolfgang
What a great vocal from Wolf! His voice is so great...everybody talks about all the instruments he plays so well...rightly so. But dig his voice...it is insanely good!
The solo is a wonderful, heartwarming tribute to his Dad If Eddie was still with us Van Halen would be doing this song in concert with Eddie blazing the solo

He is his father's son.

Can well just agree that is the greatest modern rock solo of the past decade?
For me it is
agreed
And we all thought Ed's gift to us was his own playing... Wolf is Ed's true masterpiece. What a gift... Sky's the limit for WVH. He's the best there is in my opinion. Nobody does it like that anymore...
I’m sure that’s what Eddie believed too!
This hit me right in the feels. 😢
Stone cold truth!❤
This is beautiful.
I hear so many influences in his writing. His voice really surprised me. Great band!
Sure, Wolfgang inherited his father’s musical DNA. But he certainly made it all his OWN❗️👍🏼

What no one talks about with Wolf is how good a singer he is.

I can't place why I love his voice so much but it's awesome.
There is a good reason for that...

I think it’s because he has a great melodic tenor voice. It’s the sweet spot for men, plus there’s a lot of emotion in it.

YES. Your are right. Wolf made it! A teardrop in my eyes.
Absolutely; I closed my eyes during that solo, and I could picture Ed playing it. Outstanding 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Well said!!!
Yup. I cried too. LOVE this song!
And knowing the solo was recorded on Frank is just 🤌🥺🤘
4:00 holy sh*t, man, Just wow 😯
Man that solo really hits hard. The Wolfpack delivers strong again.
Between the Nuno solo on Rise and this solo from Wolfie... we can safely say ROCK is still very well alive. Keep on Rockin' Wolfie 😎!!!!
Yes! Loving both! 👏👏👏 ❤
Couldn't agree more !!!!!! 🤘
Sounds like Nickelback
Way to Go ❤Wolfe, Amazing once again my Brother!
Coming into his own!

They will as soon as every comment doesn't mention "Eddie's kid". and starts to comment only on the music of Wolf Van Halen.
Thinking the same thing about 90s alt music. I was like wow this has such a feel of hard rock and definitely 90s alternative
I just 55 year old man you hit it right on the head buddy

The solo is the most inspired piece of guitar I've heard in years! Those bendings, the tapping texture...perfect!
HIS DAD WAS NEXT TO HIM🎸🎶🎵
He definitely made his dad's guitar talk and sing.
I’m very sad that I can never hear that solo for the first time again. 4:00-5:20 is pure magic.

It was Eds 1968 super lead Marshall Plexi..
@jondunmore4268 Wolf stated that officially what is written in the case of the original guitar is "Frankenstein."

I can imagine Wolfgang playing the solo to this and paying homage to his Dad, sweat and tears pouring down in the studio. Very musical solo and rhythm reminds me of the solo section to In the Dead of night by UK. Awesome to hear what comes out of this kid musically, whether he is a Van Halen or not.
This is the song that’s get you on main stream young man!! Keep shining!! Your dad is grinning ear to ear w that big smile he had watching down on you!!
Awesome! This is Wolf. This is what I want to hear on the radio today. No need to use the VH even though he has a cool dad.
That. Solo. And the history of the guitar behind it. 🤘🏻🇺🇸🎸 tremendous. Just tremendous. All hail WVH
Saw your Pop in 78. Straight outta Pasadena. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Cool tune.
Killer track Wolf!!! This song is such a vibe
❤ 🎸THIS DOES NOT SUCK AT ALL! BLOWN AWAY!!! 🎸 ❤
The tone, the breaks, the groove! As for the solo, it gave me goose bumps! 🤘🏻 I’m so excited for this album! Amazing job Wolf!
So good to hear the frankenstrat again..Awesome job Wolf.
Awesome song Wolfie!!!! I can clearly hear this is one of songs that you used your Dad's axe and rig on..... sounded awesome! Can't wait to hear the next release!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Best song so far, this band gonna become big
LETS GOOOO!!!!!!! Killer track Wolfie!!!! I hear Frankie too!!!!! ❤🖤🤍
Sophomore album I’m watching Wolfgang grow up, as in this is a wonderfully awesome album. It’s not about reliving Van Halen, Wolfgang is very talented, can sing well. I absolutely love the songs. Yeah he could sit around and play guitar for the 80’s crowd. But he’s formed a hell of a 2023 band that’s very much different. I love to watch his talent. He makes great music thsts all his own. His dad may be the most famous guitarist ever but this young man is in no one’s shadow, he’s damn talented.
Omg 😳 the tone, timing and feel of that guitar solo is incredible!! Amazing stuff Wolf
Literally got chills listening to this. WOW!!! The solo...pure bliss!! Wolf may be the son of a rock god but he is proving he has his own unique style that deserves to be noticed. I can't say enough great things about his music. Congratulations Wolf, you literally just blew this 58 year old gal away with your talent.
This is the sound of the future with some taste of the past jus great Wolf looking forward to get your second Cd ! Bravo Dude!!
Your solos make me cry dude. Seriously. Your dad is proud up there.
Again another great song. Can’t wait till Saturday at Wembley
That’s crushing, dude! You keep raising your game!
I dont think I have listened to a musician where every time a new song from him its an instant hit for me
That solo intro has a little Neal Schon feel to it with a little Satriani inspired touch !!!!
Wow !!!!
Love this track !!!❤❤❤
I love it! I don’t consider this channeling Ed. This solo is a good example of the style Wolfgang is forging on his own. He’s has an excellent mix of both thought out tasty controlled phrasing AND spontaneous exciting interruptions.
Well done Wolfgang
Wolf is the man!! Can’t wait to see Mammoth again in November!! Rock on!!!
I think there are no limits what Wolfgang is able to do musically. I could‘t be more impressed.
Another killer song.
Mammoth is fantastic!!!
This tune couldn't be more perfect! I got goosebumps and tears in my eyes during that solo. Thanks for another masterpiece, Wolfie!!
I LOVE MAMMOTH WVH
Me too!
who doesn't!❤
The kid's got it Fer sure.
And "A SINGER'S SINGER, IN A TIMELESS WAY, as well..... I HAVE to Laugh, and let the Tears roll while I'm grinning...
I love this, getting a huge kick ass solo within a great song...epic 👍
What a great vocal from Wolf! His voice is so great...everybody talks about all the instruments he plays so well...rightly so. But dig his voice...it is insanely good!
The solo is a wonderful, heartwarming tribute to his Dad
If Eddie was still with us Van Halen would be doing this song in concert with Eddie blazing the solo
Face melting solo 🤘
