What he doesn't understand and will never understand is that he'll get or has gotten that elusive "BREAK" that everybody needs and wants because of his name. Other than that, he'd be working at Guitar Center.
What are you talking about? All of that music and playing he does-it’s because he had the talent to be able to do it. He plays all the instruments on his albums. I don’t think anybody can be in his shoes, no matter what it looks like from the outside.
Dude being on the bill with Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Kiss, etc. straight out of the gate in support of his first album proves 'ol Wolfie will not be held back by any "hindrances"! Giggity.
the fact that EVH is his dad definitely helped his career in three ways; Money, access to knowledge and equipment from an early age with full family support, and with those that wanted to be attached to his Brand/DNA
Lol, this dude inherited his dad's highly successful guitar and amp company "EVH". He's been a guest for the Foo Fighters, support act for Guns N Roses & Metallica literally because of his name. His first single blew up in the charts because of his famous Dad's death, I know it was still a difficult time for him. But he had about the biggest boost an upcoming artist could ever ask for. Nice guy, but he is absolutely oblivious about starting from the bottom
I can see how being born a wealthy kid AND having unlimited access to the best musical equipment, an incredible home studio, AND two extraordinarily talented, famous relatives like Eddie & Alex to help you musically or on the business side would be quite a hinderance. Being able to sit at home all day playing guitar and not having to grind at a real job would also be quite tough.
Never said I didn't like him. A matter of fact, like him quite a bit. I think he carries himself quite well. He's just somebody that was fortunate enough to have fall out the right ass (born rich) and therefore will not have to face obstacles that most of us will. So that's why I made that comment.
A hindrance? Wolf is very talented and obviously got it from his dad and uncle. But if he was Joe Smith from Wyoming with that same talent, he could be working at Target and getting paid peanuts for weekend gigs.
He's not that talented, especially considering the head start he got, world's greatest teacher, endless cash, every piece of gear he wants, etc etc. His talent is eating ding dongs
Exactly. Wolfgang Van Halen was born with a silver spoon in his mouth ( and obviously shoveled it in too many times). The only disadvantage he had to face in life was getting tagged with the Worst Name Ever.
I just think Wolfie wants to distance from Edward's legacy. I love how Jason Bonham took his responsiblity of his father's legacy and has done very well with it. I wish Wolfie would do the same with Edward's legacy.
Wolfgang is delusional here. His music sounds like a hundred other generic rock bands, but he gets way more traction, because...wait for it...his last name is Van Halen.
He’s not gonna make it in the music business. No one does anymore especially with Rick n roll. Rock n roll is dead. Kids wanna hear bubblegum music like Taylor Swift. Ugh
Hinderance? Where he is today is mostly because of his name. I'd really love to see him kick ass, take names and get Michael Alex Sammy Dave and even Gary together to give a proper tribute to his father. It's way way overdue and all of these guys have really dropped the ball on that.
I think what he’s saying is that right now in his career, it’s a hindrance. He is an amazing musician, but he will always be in a certain someone’s shadow.
Wolfie's solo band..... would have never played on a Metallica stage if not for his dad. Obviously for his music career its helped with everything. Eddie being his dad gave him every door opened, all the funds are there, the contacts, the name etc... Wolf never did years of playing shitty clubs riding the bus, being poor like real bands. Its been all handed to him.... not self made. Thats just how it is, impossible for him to avoid. His bands music isnt anything out of this world either, its very much like something we have heard a million times already.
Agreed 100%. Although I would guess in his mind all that could be a hindrance. I grew up rich being envious of the poor kids because they had better social skills. Now I'm poor and it sucks.
Wolf's music sucks. He is only so popular because of his last name. That and he was a complete scum bag that wrote a song about his father passing away and then waiting for that to actually happen before releasing it. No one talks about that part at all. He has lost all respect in my mind. What DLR has recently talked about Wolf doing on the 2015 tour just solidifies my opinion of that fat piece of shit.
It's nothing special because it doesn't come from anywhere. The two are linked. Old VH sounds the way it does because it came, as Dave said, "through Blood and Fire." Wolf has no clue about making yourself as an artist. No clue whatsoever.
My dad played guitar for himself… if he was playing and I happen to bring friends home with me…I’d lose them to him playing for them… My guitar hero for sure…
Wolf needs to tour with Sammie H as well as the rest and get his uncle in on it… do a full year or two of tours in giant stadiums and then go on his own … the tours would be colossal and a huge spring board
I'm 65. Just a touch younger than Eddie, I'm also from the San Gabriel Valley in SoCal. Less than 1/2hr from where Ed & Al grew up, who I knew a bit because 1 of their neighbors was my boss at my 1st job delivering pizzas. My boss Rob could hear I enjoyed RnR every time I started my 63 Bug. So he invited me to a background Kegger featuring the best (there was lots of them, too) band in the area, VH. He wasn't kidding either! That's beside the point though. I'd agree with Wolfe though too. Of course doors can be opened, but if your opportunity isn't handled correctly it can just a more well funded disaster. Celebrity offspring not parented correctly is Bad Parenting plugged into a guitar Amplifier. Either way even under the best of circumstances it's a Minefield. Wolfe seems like a pretty cool balanced young dude, no disrespect whatsoever is meant in saying this either, but overeating is also a form of coping. By how sensible he generally sounds, he'll probably get a handle on that one before too long, also.
I have to agree with this comment. Although at the same time, we can’t possibly know what someone else’s perspective is. But one thing seems to be pretty clear, and that is that there are thousands and thousands of musicians out there that would love an opportunity to cut through the constant inflow of new content every day, and get noticed even just for 15 minutes I think it’s always been hard, but it’s more challenging now But even more to the point, is how elusive it can be to create memorable songs, that people sing along with Unfortunately, the greatest guitar playing and the greatest singing are not usually as memorable as a great song can be So many songs, Van Halen put out that just had so many memorable hooks, I think we could all make a pretty solid list without trying too hard So incredible that beyond his fathers incredible legacy as a guitar innovator, and virtuoso, are the songs that so many people love singing, along with, including myself But development can take time, and this new young virtuoso is young still Keep going Wolfgang, we’re all supporting you brother!! :)
The issue is, because of his last name, people expect and even DEMAND that he be a carbon copy of his father and that's simply not what he wants to be. He wants HIS music that HE wrote to shine, and it very much does.
correct answer ...yes. My favorite legend's offspring is Lukas Nelson. Clearly successful in his own right and has the talent to have made it without his Dad's influence and the answer he gave was yes and I'm so grateful for it!
I was named after my father, who was a very well liked popular business owner in my hometown. I grew up having to live up to his name. The easiest route for me in life would have been to do everything my father did, to latch on to every advantage he offered me and to eventually take his legacy and business over. I optioned to do other things in life because I felt that I would never feel that I truly earned success having just accepted what was handed to me. Wolfie joined Van Halen. He named his band after Van Halen's first band name and put WVH in the band name. He launched his career by posting a tribute song to his dad. This dude has done everything possible to cash in on the fact that he's a Van Halen and now he calls it a hindrance.
"....probably more of a hindrance...." No dude, I'm sorry. If your name was Wolf Jones: You'd be where most of we recording musicians are. Especially without a studio in the back yard.
I'm pretty sure he didn't say getting his initial opportunity and break was a hindrance but I get what he's saying. No matter what he does for the rest of his life, success or failure, he will always be compared to his old man and likely hated for it.
I remember Wolf saying that Eddie was the worst guitar teacher ever because Eddie would say just "Do this" and Wolfgang couldn't pick it up right away and Eddie didn't understand that what is very easy for him is very difficult for people not gifted with his talent .
Oh he may not be not been able to easily follow his father's instruction on the guitar, but he sure had no problem following his mom's instruction at the dinner table
Look it’s probably both. The perks are obvious to everyone but there are probably downfalls to it that only people in that situation understand. He seems like a nice guy and his music is good let’s just enjoy it.
There are a lot of great singers out there, there are a lot of great guitar players out there, how do I find an angle to get known? I know the Eddie Van Halen son!
It's got to be tough being the son of an icon. Jason Bonham isn't his dad nor is Zak Starkey his dad Ringo. Deacon Frey isn't Glenn and Dweezil isn't Frank. It's their birth right to pursue music but it's eventually got to stand on its own. Good luck to him.a
This young man is super talented love his style on playing. it's him, not his Dad! biggest fan of his father but this kid is dangerous talented ,& the bullshit with big mouth sammy & David they should be Embarrassed of themselves for their shit they pull and talk about each other ,im seeing chicken foot in NJ in july looking forward too se how they play
I can see what he means being a drummer. I did it professionally for a long time and I know what he means. He's just talking in the perspective of his career being separate from his dad. He gets all the perks sure But remember he doesn't want to be associated with his father's music or his father's legacy on a guitar. He's trying to build something that's completely his own, that has nothing to do with the band van halen. Plus I'm sure there's a certain level.Of expectation people expect from him. Plus I see people getting constantly aggravated that he doesn't want to play his dad's music. Just look at it that way.
Well, he was trained by the best (Help), he definitely got his shot already being on the inside (Help) but can he ever really live up to or surpass Edward's legacy (Hindrance)? I personally think he's on the right track by not trying to copy Van Halen. He should have a word with the children from Greta Van Fleet.
This is a pointless discussion. Like he said, it’s a double edged sword. Of course, he got the breaks because of his father and he will always be compared. For people who remember when Julian Lennon recorded Valotte, he looked so much like his father, and even the voice was slightly similar but it was a novelty. Julian was smarter to forge his own path in photography ultimately.
Dudes a good guitarist but really there's a bunch of good guitarists out there. As for his dad being a hindrance. His dad and uncle fired Michael Anthony and replaced him with a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD WOLFY! as the bass player for Van Halen. Yep, normal fucking career progression there. He should just keep his yap shut and quietly thank the rock gods for his birth right.
Yes Wolf is talented but he also has the Van Halen name. Nobody can tell me that doesn't open doors. He'll never know or understand what it's like to play four hours a night for next to nothing!
He needs to swallow his pride and play all of his dad’s parts on a Vanhallen tour.., yes acVAN HALLEN TOUR! It would break records and put him n front center of world stage .. His father will old want him to do it
He is Eddie's son the Dude has real skills wtf do people want from him! And if you were in his position, I guarantee you would be doing the same thing!
Total bull crap. Complete nepotism. Also in this day and age seven year old girls can play Eruption and all of Eddie’s stuff. Wolfgang is his son pure and simple. As a guitar player Wolfgang is just a copy cat, he’s not doing anything original or fresh. Has he ever written a song? I’m sure he has but no one could tell you what it is. Barf.
Actually, he's primarily a drummer. He plays all instruments, including vocals, on both his releases. His guitar work is nothing like his dad's, and he's definitely a better drummer, singer, and bassist than his dad. And, considering all the "bull crap" being talked here by people who neither know anything about or heard his work, I'd say he's pretty spot on.
He's full of shit. Sure trying hard to convince people that he earned what success he has on his own. Millions of others out there have worked infinitely longer and harder and hadnt achieved a fraction of what was given to him.
I can see how never having to scrap up gas money or tour in a van, take a crappie job so you can play for free or being able to have as much studio time as you want is a HUGE hindrance 😂 dude is talented, but he is a nepo baby and he should just own it. Hell if my parents set me up, I'd run with it. Everyone understands wolf, just be honest with yourself about it.
I was appalled when they canned Michael Anthony and Wolfgang could not wait to take a legends place. Michael Anthony was playing for Mammoth and Van Halen before Wolfgang was a dirty thought, before his father met his mother. I will never buy a Wolfgang album or buy one of his tickets. He is riding on his father’s coattails. I would have respect for him if he came up with his own band name, and if he refused to replace Michael Anthony. Wolfgang is bad news. He is no good!
A hindrance? Seriously? There are millions of people with as much talent as you have that have never had the door opened for them.
I agree.
What he doesn't understand and will never understand is that he'll get or has gotten that elusive "BREAK" that everybody needs and wants because of his name. Other than that, he'd be working at Guitar Center.

At the end of the day your as good as the song you wrote tho , no matter the opportunity given .
Man, you are stupid on a super level
@@kennethmeeker6369 yeah i agree , if you think about it Dave Grohl probably got a record deal because he was in Nirvana , but made the most out of it

Exactly, I like him but he has no clue.
@@shawnstarks1743 NEP NEP NEPO ...HIS DAD IS THE GOAT ....
I agree, poor Wolfgang.
@@shawnstarks1743 You're right: he has no clue. So, why do you even like him? 🤔

Absolutely true!
He had double advantage. His mom is famous too.
Exactly. Wolfgang Van Halen was born with a silver spoon in his mouth ( and obviously shoveled it in too many times). The only disadvantage he had to face in life was getting tagged with the Worst Name Ever.
And fat too
@BigBri550 that might be part of the problem right there they never took the spoon out of his mouth
Come on…. Without his dad he would be night manager at 7-11
Possibly not even a manager.
Stop ripping the kid for his weight. He is a talented man. He was born into greatness. Edward would be proud 🍻
he sucks and is a pampered brat
No one here is ripping him for his weight, at the moment lol. Everyone here is pissed at how delusional the fucker is
God I can see Eddie in his eyes.
I just think Wolfie wants to distance from Edward's legacy. I love how Jason Bonham took his responsiblity of his father's legacy and has done very well with it.
I wish Wolfie would do the same with Edward's legacy.
The expectations were high for him, and I'm sure that was not a good feeling. But he has 2 albums out now, so he's making his own way.
Wolfgang is delusional here. His music sounds like a hundred other generic rock bands, but he gets way more traction, because...wait for it...his last name is Van Halen.
Can't disagree. But the boy can play.
He’s not gonna make it in the music business. No one does anymore especially with Rick n roll. Rock n roll is dead. Kids wanna hear bubblegum music like Taylor Swift. Ugh

@Mars-mr3om so what? That's a really cheap price to pay for all the doors that are opened for him.
Agreed 100%. Although I would guess in his mind all that could be a hindrance. I grew up rich being envious of the poor kids because they had better social skills. Now I'm poor and it sucks.

OK fanboy.
A help, or a hindrance???
How is this even a question??? If he was the son of a truck driver from Ohio only his family would know his name.
Nailed it. I have been saying this! If that scenario happened and he still played music I would give him the credit he deserves. A good bar band

that is a stupid question, any idiot can see it opened doors for learning and connections thereafter

Someone is in denial.
He is a good guy, but C'mon... just the guitar that he was allowed to make, that is not possible if you are not the son of EVH
Last album sold only 3200 copies. What “career”????? Why is he being interviewed. His tour tickets are selling for $7 on Groupon
I read this comment quickly and I thought you said last tour he ate 3200 calories
You guys are mean.
yeah...right
Never drink and drive. Stay safe and sane out there! The life you save might be your own.

Yeah when he can jump off the top of the stage and do a full split like David Lee Roth did then I'll take notice
The obesity is probably his biggest hindrance
This definitely says more about you...but go with that.
And really bad for fast food industry
I can see how never having to scrap up gas money or tour in a van, take a crappie job so you can play for free or being able to have as much studio time as you want is a HUGE hindrance 😂 dude is talented, but he is a nepo baby and he should just own it. Hell if my parents set me up, I'd run with it. Everyone understands wolf, just be honest with yourself about it.
@@tinytable3748 Yeah for sure...that's why there are so many obese rock stars, right?
He's not running with the Devil is running with the burgers
I was appalled when they canned Michael Anthony and Wolfgang could not wait to take a legends place. Michael Anthony was playing for Mammoth and Van Halen before Wolfgang was a dirty thought, before his father met his mother. I will never buy a Wolfgang album or buy one of his tickets. He is riding on his father’s coattails. I would have respect for him if he came up with his own band name, and if he refused to replace Michael Anthony. Wolfgang is bad news. He is no good!
