Listening to Wolfie talk says volumes about what kind of parents he had. While his father will forever be known for being the greatest guitarist ever, I think he should equally be known for inspiring his son to do what he has done

Lets be realistic, shall we...? My god. EDV has never been known.... for being the greatest guitarist ever. You dont see his name as the #1 guy very often, if ever, and his son... simply living off the name, I would too.

This kid is a MONSTER MUSICIAN!! He seems so humble as well. Congratulations Wolf on your success you deserve it

I can remember watching Wolfgang being a silly little toddler on the Arsenio show with his mom and dad in the 90's. Now he's a well spoken, polite, adult Rock Star. Man time fly's by. I was Wolfgang's age now when that Arsenio show aired. I'm very happy for him and his success.

And he just got married. We’re going to see another generation of the Van Halen

Wolfgang‘s parents did a wonderful job raising him! What a wonderful man He’s turned out to be! It’s so nice to see somebody of his stature so humble.

He's SO good, seems so down to Earth and just a lovely person.

One of my favorite rockers .. Wolfgang is the real deal and his Pop was right when he said that my boy is dangerous he’s gonna blow your mind with his talents… Ed you were right Sir 💥

I always love watching wolfies interviews. He seems very humble. It seems like he's a genuine and nice dude! Very articulate and well spoken as well!

only wish he was this humble when his dad let him take Michael Anthony spot and an iconic band called Van Halen that other than him being the son of the guitar God and one of the founders had nothing to do with the group that is like the epitome of indulging your child you actually take someone else's spot who not only earn that spot but helped those songs go on to be not only revered hits but iconic he was a replacement to someone who had not died who had not quit who was still ready to rock and roll and that is just ridiculous that is the exact opposite of humility I will say that he was a young man and I'm sure he wanted to be on stage with his father and his uncle but it was still a dick move and it's something of course the Van Halen family doesn't talk about even Michael Anthony doesn't talk bad about them he should That's his voice thing in harmonies that's his base that holds it together along with Alex Van Halen for the rhythm section that wasn't Wolfgang Van Halen that was Michael Anthony that made history it's like they stole history and gave it to him

@rellis881 everyone knows the van halen story. But also, it was eddie who wanted wolfie in the band at the time. Trust me, i didn't love it either... but looking back at the time, eddie was an addict/in recovery, and the only way eddie wanted to play with ANY singer was with wolfie. I dont think wolfie was ever super cocky about that at the time, either. And currently, wolfie and michael anthony consistently trade complements back and fourth on social media outlets

Having grown up a huge Van Halen fan it’s so cool getting to see Wolfgang. His album is incredible and he’s so talented

Its awesome that Wolf,being the son of a legend,be so humble and chill. Comes off as just a regular guy and not some arrogant asshole.

Thank you Eddie & Valerie for Wolfgang. He is carrying the torch of R&R along with a few others that are left. Wolfgang is just a great guy&dude can play every instrument like a master(His Dad&His Uncle never showed him anything,he did on his own Your the Bomb WVH!

Both of his albums are awesome as far as modern hard rock goes. Absolutely fantastic.

Wolf seems like such an incredible guy to jam with and shoot the shit with. He really has worked very hard to where he is now. Shout out to Eddie and Valerie for raising such a humble and personable young man! Rock on man!

This is a great interview. Wolfgang is so down to earth, real, kind and humble. Awesome job.🤘❤️

What a great and talented young man. His parents did a great job raising him and obviously loved him very much.

I'm an older guy, and I get it. Even when you learn from the best, getting out and jamming with other bands and other musicians and seeing how they do things helps you grow as a musician. Wolf is so great, I think because he's not full of himself and is open to that. I've been a drummer for 44 years and I jump at the chance to play with other bands just for the learning experience.

I remember the day Wolfgang was born, man does time fly! Now he's in my top music collection!! Proud of him for his accomplishments, I'm one proud fan!

Well here is a true story for Wolf. I was playing in a club band in SW Florida and some guy walked up and requested an AC/DC song. I said nobody here can sing like that. He looks back at me and says "That guy can" and dam if it wasn't Brian Johnson and Cliff Williams. We finished our last set and they invited us over for some drinks. What a couple of great people. Down to Earth and just really awesome guys. I hope you get your wish wolf.

In 1978 I was in love with Valerie and of course Eddie was my favorite musician. It's not a shock that my 2 favorite people would create someone as cool as Wolfie

Wolfy is Rock&Roll Royalty aside from his dad, he is fast becoming a legend in his own right.

What refreshing person Wolfgang is, no attitude or egotistical aura about him that I could detect. Nice job Valerie! (and Eddie)

He’s such a talented artist!!!!! I’m happy to see his success and that each album gets better and better. Great singing voice and all the instruments he plays… he’s his own man. I hope everyone will let his creativity speak for itself and stop comparing so much.

Wolfgang has a good head on his shoulders. A tribute to his parents. Love your music Wolfgang.

Amazing interview 👏🏽 17 minutes felt like 1 minute Good job to you both 🤘🏽

Im sure Dave is star struck when it comes to Wolf, To jam with a Van Halen , Plus Dave gets to watch him grow into his own musician, Wolf is very talented, One day he will produce a number 1

Absolute MAD RESPECT for this young man!!! So humble, and you can’t get a better background foundation for originality than this guy. 🙏🏼 Love Wolfgang Van Halen 🤘

Wolfgang seems really down to earth. Dave Grohl gives so much back to music.

coming to see you on november 10th buddy and i cant freakin wait🤘🤘

Love this young man....I smile the whole time i watch videos of him. I know his daddy is SO PROUD❤

i've never heard of any of his guys..i must be getting old.

Very happy and proud of your accomplishments, keep rocking bro!!

What an absolutely refreshing interview. Wolfgang comes across as an honest and genuine individual. No pretense whatsoever. I respected his work, and now I more than respect the man. Valerie and Eddie should be proud.

Ian Kenny - Karnivool (V) Aaron Marshall - Intervals (G) Justin Chancellor - Tool (B) Gavin Harrison - Porcupine Tree (D) Thats a cool ass band. All bands I really love. Ian Kenny is such a good vocalist. Great Picks.

He doesn't look like his mom or dad. Seems like a great guy.

wolfs new music is killer love the style of the vocals its kinda likw 2000s rock/metal n its sick.. n even cooler he writes n plays every instrument in that band in the studio very talented

Wolf is such a nice and genuine guy. Great interview.

I grew up with VH . I’m 57 yrs old . Watching & listening to you from a far . You are one of the most genuine .nicest young men I’ve ever listened too. You are over flowing with talent . You found your own groove .When I saw you at the Taylor Hawkins tribute . You blew me away !! Keep up the great work ! I am older but a HUGE fan of yours ,Take care Gid bless

OK, 1st visit to your channel. Seeing Physical Graffiti hanging behind you earns huge props! Interviewing Wolf gets you even more. I will have to stay tuned...

Great interview! So nice to get to know Wolfie and his tastes. rb

God bless Wolfgang! Im happy for you and your career after the mighty Van Halen. It's the best apprenticeship ever possible

It was exciting to hear him talk about his influences musically knowing who his father was. I hope he's having the time of his life.

Great interview!

Super nice guy and mega talented. Feel so grateful that I saw you in Seattle Dec 2007 the Van Halen tour. Man, it was so good! I didn't know what to expect with David Lee Roth and it honestly blew me away.

Wolf is such a cool dude. Awesome to hear "Gavin Harrison" name in his drummer supergroup pick. I would agree that it's a toss up betwen Gavin and Danny, but glad to see him give Gavin some love.

I never knew just how awesome of a musician you were. From the clip at the tribute I saw. You fucking blew me away. I know you're dad had to be extremely proud of you, like I'm proud to hear your music. Keep up the extremely good work. You are truly awesome too.

Super cool guy, very real and incredibly humble for such a talented and famous musician. His dad inspired me to play guitar 40+ years ago, now Wolf is inspiring a new generation. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

Eddie & Valerie did a fantastic job of raising Wolfgang. He is such a down to earth, wholesome kind of guy that hasn't let his, or his family's popularity prevent him from being a decent guy. Good luck to he & his wife, all the best. 🙏

On the Gavin answer blew me away. To wolf big up for picking the goat of drums right now and ❤ for Justin is amazing he does not get the respect he deserves except by tool fans.

Wow did mom and dad do a great job or what… so grateful and humble, great player and person… what a sweetheart of a person

I’m loving what I’m hearing out of Wolf and MammothWVH. Wolf is one helluva great musician and I can’t wait to hear more new music from him.

Wolf all fully growing congratulations on the mate you look great! Always look forward to what you are doing next. Absolutely right attitude and altitude to make a difference for upcomers. Stay "you" young lad!

Very good interview! Wolfie is on a roll, I know Eddie would be proud and Valerie certainly is!🙏🏻🎧❤️

My 4: Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, Neil Peart, and Tom Sawyer!

Wolf seems like a very cool human being... I'm so happy for his success. He's worked his ass off to become the incredibly strong musician he is. Loved the first Mammoth album, and thankfully I got to see them live in LA.

Always like watching Wolfy's interviews when he talks about the music his eyes lights up like his father's did in his interviews

In 1975 I was friends with Mark Stone he introduced me to Ed and we spent the rest of the night shooting beers. Ed was really funny the next night I got to see him play although he wasn’t the tapping at the time he blew my socks off with his ability to play Clapton Hendrix, all of the guitar gods effortlessly. I’m glad I had that moment in time with him had no idea he would turn out to be the Mosark of our time.

My favorite thing about Wolf is how grounded he is...which in turn adds to his already legendary status. Best of luck and well being, Wolf!!

My sympathies to You Wolfgang on your Dad's Passing... God Bless Ya Man 🙏💯❤️🤘

I’m so happy for Wolfgang and want to be one of the empathetic people on the Internet that say you are appreciated!

Wolf, you're a good egg. Hope you can come down to Australia one day. Congrats on the nuptials too.

Parked Out by the Lake is by Dean Summerwind is actualy done by a friend of mine Dustin Christensen. The funny part is it's a parody of one of his own songs Vacant Motel Heart off one of his solo albums. Vacant Motel Heart is also a great song. Dustin is a great guy and is currently a songwriter in Nashville. He also got a four chair turn on The Voice.

Lifelong fan of VH. And now a fan of WVH. The music keeps me young.

I just caught this band at Rockville this past weekend. I have to say they were one of my FAVORITE performances throughout the entire weekend. Ngl, I was an asshole that had never listened to mammoth and I was worried that he was just riding on daddy’s coat tales. I happily ate my words. Mammoth and WVH have a new fan. Awesome guys

Honestly same here Wolfie if I formed a supergroup Gavin Harrison would be my drummer as well. The guy is a machine and I love Porcupine Tree! \m/

Lauryn Schaffner, Great interview. Thank you

You know Wolfy is a real TOOL fan when you drop Karnivool references lol. Love it.

If you look at him closely, you can definitely see both his mom and dad in his face, i mean as it should be!! I wish him all good things. He is adorable and talented.

Wolf it's good to see you in good spirits.

What a genuinely good dude. 👍🏻

That really would be awesome to see what those two would come up with. Just those two in a studio making the entire album. 14:45 .... I hope this happens! Dave .... Do it!

Just saw Mammoth in Spokane, they really ROCKED and Wolf has a great stage presence !!

So much respect for Wolfgang. He is doing this on his own terms and has a great band and a heck of a player...much props !!!! Very humble and raised right props to mom & dad as well.

Beautiful soul ❤

Wolfgang Foghat Led Zeppelin....majestic af

I seen Wolfgang wvh at ford field in Detroit on th m72 tour and they killed it! So good!

He seems so humble, that's what I like about Wolfgang.

Wolfgang has the privilege of having that iconic connection to his father but he's also worthy of that leverage and super talented.

Sweet picks for the supergroup... Gavin is my fave too!

Congratulations Wolfie

I love this guy. We need more Wolfies in the world.

Seeing him for the 3rd time tomorrow night in Austin TX. 🤘🏻🇺🇸🎸🔥

He is thrilled to jam with Dave Grohl. But he comes from playing with his dad. We older guys don‘t get that at all. 😂

wolfgang is the nicest guy and he was absolutely shredding at that THh tribute show

This interviewer is very good. Love Wolf

Love U Wolfgang!

most talented Van Halen? this man even sings incredibly. I cant get over how talented Wolf is. Treasure.

Here is the perfect super group: Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart. PERIOD.

A big loss with Eddy being gone, but having Wolf around fills the loss.

He has been hitting the buffet

It used to be called rock fusion. Variety is the spice of life. Definitely.
