Eddie was a great father as well for all his faults. Eddie adored his son and loved him so much. The video for the song"distance" shows how much eddie loved wolfie.
@@benallmark9671 Yes, it would be nice to also hear our ex-leader Trump actually admit that he tried to undo what voters wanted and attempt an armed insurrection against our government, actually assaulting (and even killing) police officers. The sight of Mike Pence having to run to the basement with Secret Service (the nuclear codes handcuffed to his wrists...the footage of this is public) because a grown man could not accept that the American people did NOT want him for a 2nd-term...THAT was scary. And it would be nice for Trump and the MAGA-cult to stop making excuses and actually admit that they tried to overthrow our government. People SHOULD admit their wrongs.
@@bobabooey4537 Yeah, I completely agree. Wolfgang's music is so mediocre (I've heard a TON of songs and I STILL could not hum one of them back to you if I had a gun to my head...THAT is how unmemorable they are). This guy has been at his solo career for almost four years. His 1st album went to #12 (and a lot of that was sympathy because he just happened to release his album in the months after his dad died)...then his 2nd album peaked at #29!! And here he is, STILL opening for bands...freaking opening for Creed!! Just embarrassing. If his last name were not Van Halen, he and his music would not even be talked about. He wouldn't be even getting bad reviews. He would be getting COMPLETELY IGNORED.
@@benallmark9671 Of course not. And that's really sad (though makes sense, considering he still has NOT written one classic song). By almost this point in his dad's career, Eddie was headlining the US FESTIVAL in front of half a million people. Wolfgang's 2nd album could go no further than #29 (his first album got to #12)...and he's still playing clubs and small theaters...or opening for "great bands" like freaking Creed.🤣
Wolfy listen I'm old and remember your mom and dad and love them both! 1970's was crazy. Keep your head on straight like you're doing! Everyone is so proud of you!!! 👈
I got to say the coolest part was when they were talking about the videos I love that another celebration at the end of the world where wolfies get fired and then in I'm alright they steal a song and they win the Battle of the bands under Mammoth www Wolf,Wolfie and Wolfies lol then in the end he gives them the finger and it's just awesome it's classic I got to say my hat's off to them for doing such artistic videos with the storyline I get a smile and laugh every time I think about them especially when I'm watching them
Such a humble sweetheart. His momma and daddy did real good on him. He could have went such a different way. I bet when he is a dad those are gonna be amazing kids...oh and Valerie is gonna be an AMAZING grandma!
Absolutely right. All of these guys are extremely talented. I can't believe how much Wolfgang looks like his brothers. It's almost weird. Like looking at Eddie, all over again.
I've got tickets and can't wait to go...I'm especially excited for the fact that my kid and I are going to make sure we show up late enough to skip the opening act (MAMMOTH WVH) and get there just in time for Pantera and Metallica!!🙂
im sure ur dads very proud of you,as well as ur mom,keep it up..Thax for keepin rock alive,not like sum who say its dead,the ones who say its dead killed it.thanks gene u need to get out more
I like Wolf a lot . They raised a good human being. He seems to be eating his emotions though. Seriously, I worry for his future health. He’s getting bigger and bigger.
I hope he does something about it. He seems like a really cool guy. He's got a lot of talent and I would hate to see something happen to him because of his weight. He deserved everything good that happens to him. He's worked for it.
Some ppl are just big though. He has been heavy since he was like 13. I have a born vegetarian son, his body doesn't process animal proteins right, he is still 6' 3" 300 pounds. He doesn't eat unhealthy really...ok honestly outside of the a&w root bear a day and garlic bread. But otherwise it's all good stuff. He just is heavy, like my grandpa and 3 uncles. Their bodies just seem to turn everything to to fat stores. All were/are physically active. You know there is about no way for him to consume enough calories, fat and carbs and not burn them off on stage. His momma has a weight issue too. I would rather see him heavy than start taking drugs or limiting his healthy eating just to slim down. As long as his doctors are not worried then i think he is perfect and evidently so does his wife.
@@mordeys , I agree for the most part. I just hope nothing happens to him. There are ways to make it happen, but from what I hear they're not very fun. I'm sure, with his schedule, that he's burning a lot of calories.
I'm 58 years old, a Van Halen fan (and yes, I prefer Sammy as Van Halen's front man 💯%! I can NOT STAND DLR AT ALL! 🤮). I would LOVE to see Wolfie and Mammoth WVH in concert! ❤ He is so incredibly grounded, humble and insanely talented! I really, really like his music! Eddie and Valerie raised him well; they raised him right! ❤ Well done! Very well done indeed! I'm a fan! ~APRIL LIPKE
A celebration of Eddie and his music is overdue. Kinda wish Wolf and Alex were involved. Think about How many people he influenced to pick up a guitar and learn to play
@@jehudavis5422 my guys gained a shit ton more weight. Instead of indulging in drugs or alcohol like his dad he's really into food. And to top off his mome is a famous gourmet cook
Not his fault but he had everything handed to him, it cant be denied. No road struggles like the great bands went through before landing a big break. He has the name, all the doors opened, all the funds and gear..... you see the spoiled side right in his 'bands' name.... he always includes the WFH initials lol. First early gig was opening for GnR.... dudes on the soundtrack for the Barbie movie. Silver platter.
I don't hate this guy, but why am I being sold the idea that we should care about him? There are lots of good people in the world that deserve attention and are good musicians... I don't get it. Seems to boil down to "we should care because we miss Edward".
The guy asking the questions, the interviewer he is everything that’s wrong with the radio business today he has no business in the business. It’s embarrassing. He’s embarrassing. The whole thing is embarrassing. It shouldn’t be like this. Look at that guy listen to his questions I cringe.
Ummm ok, not picking a fight here but I was curious so I looked it up. Very shortly after release Mammoth 2 sold 20,000 copies and was listed in the top five on several charts. Those figures are now months old so it’s sold more since then. Now if we could count the cheater downloads for free because hey it’s too easy to not spend 20 bucks on a cd and support an artist these days, judging by the full venues he’s playing at he’s doing ok. Getting on those charts isn’t tanking. The days of hard rock selling millions the first week have been over industry wide for 20 years. They all tour to keep alive today. Peace out.
Sorry your wrong in total sales…..and album sales are not the standard any more…check out all his videos views subscriptions and concert attendance….additionally he owns all publishing rights so it’s very conceivable that he has made more money than most artists because he owns the whole package
Why is Alex van Halen not playing with Wolfie? Alex and Eddie had a great connection as songwriters and I do not understand why a family member and great player like Alex is not in wolfs band. Oh, Dave groel is an overrated clown. Foo fighters blow and he is not a front man or guitar player.
Wolfie is a giant slice of humble pie! And, he is an amazing musician in his own right!!! GLORIOUS!!!
"I'm gonna see Mike in Vegas I'm stoked to give him a hug " love it❤️.
And he did! There's a great pic of the two of them together
@@JokersWild70 love it
You can hear a lot of Eddie in Wolfie’s voice. Great to see the kid creating his own music legacy.
He talks about other musicians as “the nicest guy”. This young man is one of them. Humble, articulate, kind. What a gem.
This young man was raised right! Well done Valarie and Eddie 😎❤️
Cool... how long have you known him??
@@bobabooey4537 Right? Online idolizing is embarrassing but it's the thing these days.
@@bobabooey4537 noine years
Valerie
Edward and Valerie did an amazing job raising an amazing young man
Certainly Valerie
Eddie was a great father as well for all his faults. Eddie adored his son and loved him so much. The video for the song"distance" shows how much eddie loved wolfie.
Such a great guy. Definitely easy to root for him. Great interview!
his dad would be proud..
Seems like such a well adjusted kid, wish him the best.
Van Halen forever ♥️
I was so effing quick to write this dude off not knowing anything about him, other than he’s Eddie’s son. And then I heard his music…phenomenal.
At least ya can admit your wrongs unlike our current leaders.
@@benallmark9671 Yes, it would be nice to also hear our ex-leader Trump actually admit that he tried to undo what voters wanted and attempt an armed insurrection against our government, actually assaulting (and even killing) police officers.

Love Wolfie.
Was lucky to see him play bass for VH in 07 and 08.
Enjoyed that! Wolf is something else. What talent! Going to see him and his band at Bogart’s in Cincy in March. Really looking forward to that!
Saw him a few weeks ago in Toronto, with Nita Strauss opening. Super fun show, great musicianship, from top to bottom - you’ll have a great time.
@@mikewoodrow5878was it a full house ?

He seems totally cool
Wolfgang is such a humble yet incredibly talented musician. He has zero ego. Looking forward to more music from him in the future.
Calm down... everyone has an ego.
@@bobabooey4537 Yup.
Very impressed with his Mammoth album.
Much respect, the kid is doing it!!!😊
Hes already 32 years old, how time flies
Doing what? Proving that his dad is 1,000,000 times more talented than he is? Yes, he's definitely succeeding at doing that.
Congratulations to you and your new wife on your marriage Wolfie✌️❤
Great interview!!!! What a talented and humble guy.
Wolf is proof that Eddie's talent is genetic
Wolfy listen I'm old and remember your mom and dad and love them both! 1970's was crazy. Keep your head on straight like you're doing! Everyone is so proud of you!!! 👈
Nothing Beats Real Stage Monitors !!😎👍
Except in ear monitors. Come one, there's a reason why almost everyone uses IEM. They are straight up better and save your ears.
def more fun but the stage volume is tough to contend with if not done right. I will take a wedge any day though!
I just bought the guitar magazine it has him on the cover and a back story 😊 it's got so much info
God Bless Wolfie
= too cool! thanks 4 share !!! long live evh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't miss them live you will not be disappointed.
Wolf presents himself as a very humble dialed in person. Valerie and Eddie I am sure are so proud of him. So talented in his own right.
Always good to hear this guy talk, rock n roll could use a few more personalities like him, not to mention the talent
Great interview
What a humble guy, Wolfgang is great.

I see Valerie in him so much! She raised a good kid
I was thinking the same thing. He’s a spitting image of his mother.
Take a Bow is a great song
Wolfgang , what a guy 😀
Can this guy be any more gracious or accommodating.? Props WVH… THE LEGACY LIVES ON.
Go Wolfie!
Such a humble sweetheart. His momma and daddy did real good on him. He could have went such a different way. I bet when he is a dad those are gonna be amazing kids...oh and Valerie is gonna be an AMAZING grandma!
I miss ur dad but thankfully ur tunes keep a mofo smiling
Top man Wolfie
Absolutely right. All of these guys are extremely talented. I can't believe how much Wolfgang looks like his brothers. It's almost weird. Like looking at Eddie, all over again.
That IS quite a miracle...considering he's an ONLY CHILD. So, yes...an only child who looks exactly like his brothers is quite a miracle-worker.
"Like looking at Eddie all over again"? How? Eddie never weighed 400 lbs. and was actually a great musician and talented songsmith.
Thanks
I saw Mammoth in St Louis with Metallica and Pantera. Was an awesome show!!! I wish they could have played longer.
I've got tickets and can't wait to go...I'm especially excited for the fact that my kid and I are going to make sure we show up late enough to skip the opening act (MAMMOTH WVH) and get there just in time for Pantera and Metallica!!🙂

Great interview.
What videos have the multiple Wolfies?
💜💜💜
I'm so glad he's out doing his own thing, not riding his dad's coattails.
Dang it Wolfe now I have to go and watch the barbie movie Lol

Didn’t he play heading tours when he was the bassist in Van Halen?
correct
Doesn’t seem like he could careless about the van Hagar tour!!
I'll be at the Paramount show for sure.
Literally just about 30 seconds of the 12 minute video on what is in the title? No follow up q's on the Van Hagar tour?
He needs to ask for DLRs workout program
YOU SUCK
A celebration of Eddie and his music is overdue. Kinda wish Wolf and Alex were involved. Think about How many people he influenced to pick up a guitar and learn to play
He looks like his mom
1:37 a person who enforced a proven dangerous procedure medical RNA into peoples bodies. Where is his drummer?
His mom is a famous gourmet cook but he's drug and alcohol free
So what's your point?
@@jehudavis5422 my guys gained a shit ton more weight. Instead of indulging in drugs or alcohol like his dad he's really into food. And to top off his mome is a famous gourmet cook

Why do all radio guys sound like cornie game show hosts!!????? YUK
How great EGOTISTICAL
Or PATTON tequila 😅
Why doesn’t he just call his band Mammoth?
Blubbergunt Van Halen
I don't hate this guy, but why am I being sold the idea that we should care about him? There are lots of good people in the world that deserve attention and are good musicians... I don't get it. Seems to boil down to "we should care because we miss Edward".
10 plus years in VanHalen and two albums solo and a Grammy nod and a soundtrack credit. That’s why.
I love him. Better yet, I love his music.
As a rock musician I can confirm that he is an incredible musician and songwriter. Think you could write an original album?
Chumlee
Look into Dr. Shawn Baker and the Carnivore diet Wolf.....
Van Halen tribute should be wolfie,Alex ,Michael , Sammy
I agree Dave too
Nah.... Sammy, Alex, Michael and Cookie Monster aka Woofie Fat F
The Taylor Hawkins tribute was quite the dance on the grave from Dave Growl. Especially since Dave essentially killed him.
I think it was inevitable, since Hawkins killed Cobain.
YOU SUCK AS WELL
