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...
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.
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❤❤
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! 🤘
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!! ❤️🙌🏻❤️
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.
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.
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
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.
@@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.
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
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.
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…
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.
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...
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.😮
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.
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.
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....
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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
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
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!!
That wicked guitar riff right before the solo, I didn't hear that coming. That late tapping was just icing on the cake. If Eddie was Odin, Wolfgang would definitely be Thor.
Wolfe ..you are your own there is no question...I do hear your father in your fingers.....keep going/ jamming climb that mountain brother...God bless you and your mom....Peace out man,
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.
I've been graced with the privilege to listen to Wolfie play this solo live twice and literally the entire crowd, Including myself just stands still in awe, captivated in a magnetic pull into his playing. It's like listening and watching to magic. Can't quite explain it but it's sick!
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
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!!!
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. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
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!!
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.
Can well just agree that is the greatest modern rock solo of the past decade?
For me it is
agreed
The guitar solo makes my heart smile big time. That sound is in our collective DNAs, ain't it?
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.
Nowhere else it could have come from. That solo made my heart happy and my eyes watery.
He is his father's son.

The solo and tone reminded me of So this is love
4:00 holy sh*t, man, Just wow 😯
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!
What no one talks about with Wolf is how good a singer he is.
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.
There is a good reason for that...
@@poptartkiller
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.
Sure, Wolfgang inherited his father’s musical DNA. But he certainly made it all his OWN❗️👍🏼
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!).

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 🤌🥺🤘
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!
Wolf makes me so happy. Making his own statement while letting us remember his dad too.

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
Love the tone on Wolf’s guitar solo..

"Awesom" WVH, EVH BLOOD IS ROCKING IN HEAVEN AND on EARTH.
Lame, compared to Extreme's new album "Six". Just one example: th-cam.com/video/A964lZm0Buo/w-d-xo.html
I could not have said it better
See this live and it will be the last thing you'll ever see. That solo will melt your face right off
I wish EVH had lived if only to see what his son has become.
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.

*Frankenstrat
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."
@jondunmore4268 it's actually Frankenstein.
Face melting solo 🤘

Me too!

Man that was an intense guitar solo. Wow dude.

The solo from the og Frankie is mind blowing
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.
When your dad is a God of Rock and he gives you his powers 🙌 🎸
The truly heir of Van Halen sound, Wolfgang did the homework for the eternity.
Using Eddie's gear, is such a great tribute to the master. Well played sir.

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!!
That solo… The technicality of the playing is amazing and then throw in the groove. I haven’t heard a solo like that in a LONG time
Eddie is alive and well in that solo
Damn.. What a melodic masterpiece. That solo is truly the finest nod to his pops! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤘🏼
That dive/pull in the back right after the solo was a whoa moment, much love Wolf
I thought the same thing. Brought a tear to my eye. lol
Now, can the man get some radio-play, please! Respect!!!
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 wicked guitar riff right before the solo, I didn't hear that coming. That late tapping was just icing on the cake. If Eddie was Odin, Wolfgang would definitely be Thor.
That solo is a f'kn journey‼️‼️‼️What another great release
Wolfe ..you are your own there is no question...I do hear your father in your fingers.....keep going/ jamming climb that mountain brother...God bless you and your mom....Peace out man,
Love how he throws You Really Got Me in at the end
I caught that Easter egg, too. First VH song to break top 40. It was a Kinks cover. Wolf's label owns the Kinks' catalog.
Wolf’s vocal and songwriting chops are “devastating” great song!!

Wow WVH so much going on in the song I need to hear it a few more times!!! Sick solo was that played with the frankenstrat? Great tune!!!!
Saw your Pop in 78. Straight outta Pasadena. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Cool tune.
I dont think I have listened to a musician where every time a new song from him its an instant hit for me
This rivals Nuno’s solo on “Rise” as the most solid guitar solo in a decade.
This solo made me a little emotional. Thinking about how proud your dad would have been to have heard it. Well done.
OMG! Guitar solo of the year! Ought to win a Grammy just for the solo. I can just see Eddy smiling down with a big shout of “Fuck yeah Wolf!!!”
LETS GOOOO!!!!!!! Killer track Wolfie!!!! I hear Frankie too!!!!! ❤🖤🤍
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
I’m so proud and impressed with what Wolf has done and he’s just getting started love the backing vocals the man understands what people want
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!!!
This album seems HEAVIER than the first one. I need to pick this up. Top work Kiddo!
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. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
That solo!!! *Italian fingers gesture*
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!!
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.
Great phrasing in that solo, Wolf .... Original, yet familiar. 🔥
Wolf never disappoints. He's got so much talent, it's incredible. I'm so happy for him and his success, he's the real deal.
It is refreshing to see someone truly love what they do!! It shows in the sound😁🎸👍🏻
Lame, compared to Extreme's new album "Six". Just one example: th-cam.com/video/A964lZm0Buo/w-d-xo.html
