Crazy thing is Wolfgang also plays drums bass and piano that well. He is legit doing his dad proud and has been for years. The guy is a machine and being a van Halen fan it's so incredible to see this. I love it!!
Well let's not forget that Alex played drums and piano. The kid grew up in a family of musical prodigies, he had someone great to learn from around every corner.
He is the real deal. No riding dad's coat tail with his own material. Writes, sings and plays all instruments on his albums. He is an especially good drummer and singer.

You could've bought me for a nickel if I'd seen this live. This has to be one of most epic moments, to experience the torch pass from Father to Son. Every Father would be huge-chest proud to see this for their kid.
My first memory of Van Halen was riding in the backseat of Dads car, smoke in the air (dad was a smoker). The speakers in the back window were waffling but Dad cranked it. The vibe and feeling were amazing. That was sometime in the late 70s.
It's hard following a legend especially when it's your father Wolfgang Van Halen has rapidly becoming a legend himself eerily he plays just like dad and he has mastered all instruments he can hold an audience all by himself I ❤️ this kid he is a throwback you don't see very often his band Mammoth is awesome!
Actually I heard wolf say his dad was not a very good teacher , so thus that your watching is just raw talent. Of course I'm sure he pick up on a few things .. lol
A wonderful son that listened to his papa. Thank u Eddie, Wolfie, and Valarie. I smile anytime i hear your music and that means so much to me. God bless
Kind of gave me the chills. I saw Van Halen for each of their tours with David Lee Roth before Sammy. They’d pack whatever coliseum they’d play in and they just rocked! It wasn’t just a concert with VH, it was a PARTY! They were so much fun! It’s just a little hard realizing that Eddie has passed.
Monsters of Rock, 1984 here. Oh, Crue opened the show, Gary Moore, Ronnie James Dio, Ozzy, THEN Van Halen. And AC/DC closed it. A lineup never to be surpassed, if ever equaled. 😁🤷🏼♂️🔥
It’s Saddens me to see Taylor gone so badly. BUT OH MY GOD THIS HONORS HIM SO MUCH HAVING ALL THESE LEGENDS. EVEN THE CHILDREN!!! Everyone is here!! This is magical. To me this was our “Live Aid” concert. This was THE big one for our generation.
And the legend lives on let someone say that it doesn't if there ever was a reunion they should just put Wolfgang up front and create the feel and the vibe as the spirit of his father flows through his fingertips the legend lives on through the Son God bless Eddie Van Halen you are missed but you gave us a big present your son Carries On your legacy.
I was reading one of the guitar mags the other day and it that possibility was mentioned in a "Things to watch out for" column... We'll just have to wait and see, if that happens I'll be waiting for the seconds to tick down for tix to go on sale.
i think its funny anyone is shocked that Eddie's son can play exceptionally well. His dad is Eddie Van Halen and his uncle Is Alex Van Halen, he's been playing in Van Halen since he was 15. Dude is a beast.
This.makes me so happy to watch. I love how Dave is even blown away. He is the son of a legend after all, certainly proved the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Bravo.
Are you serious? If so... theres no way you play guitars LOL. Wolf is actually overrated. If he was a 'monster' guitar player... we would hear ripping guitar solos from him, and we don't. His band sounds like 50 other bands we have already heard.
@@bobabooey4537 take his name away, then what do you hear n see ?? This is the major problem with family lineage expectations...for example Dweezil flies on his own merit
Hot for teacher is incredibly demanding to drum, especially the intro. The rhythm is quick and the tempo is as well. You're technique is everything to make it easier on yourself.
Because he's already stated that to do a tribute tour would be not a real tribute at all but a self-loathing. And he respects his father way too much for that
Crazy he's definitely Eddie's son with no doubt. I hope it's Eddie's guitar. I wonder about the emotions he's feeling playing his dad's music to perfection, and the band mbrs seem starstruck. Awesome Wolfgang, Dad's looking down smiling ear to ear proud af of you. Hope you carry on his music, in this way. He will never be forgotten but achingly missed.
Its not his dad's guitar, he has his own signature line. Wolfgang has stated before he's not here to reincarnate his dad. He is his own artist and wants to be recognized for who he is, not Eddie 2.0
@@tzon6802 I'd want to be recognized for my own accomplishments as well. Still there's nothing wrong with paying tribute to his Dad and his roots. He doesn't need to be or have to be Eddie 2.0, to do that.
The only way I could express myself correctly about this is by not saying anything at all, because I know that if I were there I would be absolutely quiet in amazement and awe, that was jawdropping.
aside from him playing it so well he really captured the tone.. and tone is so key when playing... tone tone tone.. Eddie was so key in creating "thee" tone for a generation.
He could if he could search inside his own soul, and innovate instead of imitate.. They're hundreds of UA-cam videos of people shredding Eddie's lix... This is just a yawn for me. 🥱
Crazy thing is Wolfgang also plays drums bass and piano that well. He is legit doing his dad proud and has been for years. The guy is a machine and being a van Halen fan it's so incredible to see this. I love it!!
well said and I agree 👍 💯
Well let's not forget that Alex played drums and piano. The kid grew up in a family of musical prodigies, he had someone great to learn from around every corner.
didn't he become the bass player in VH after mike was gone?
Who the F is that singer?
@@brittanytovar2159 looking for that answer too
If your name is Wolfgang you must shred no matter who your dad was
Ditto.
As taught.
Legend comment
Yes indeed
If you’re EVH’s son you must shred no matter what your name is.
He is the real deal. No riding dad's coat tail with his own material. Writes, sings and plays all instruments on his albums. He is an especially good drummer and singer.
Well uncle Alex was the driving force of Van Halen on drums so no surprise there either
His songwriting is nowhere near his dad's level. He should make his living just performing Van Halen songs.
Come on, his music isn't very good at all. If he wasn't a VH his band wouldn't have been noticed at all, and now no one cares either.

The way he looked up and smiled he made a small gesture he knew at that moment all the practice was worth it 👌
He did that cause he f'ed up the intro
I think you’re right! Lol
practice and natural talent.

Never in my life would I have expected to see Dave holding Nate's bass lol
Remember Dave performed all of the instruments on the Foos debut

@Guitarguy more like staring at wolf playing than him playing
That’s killer Wolfgang!!! Eddie’s smiling big from above - like father like son❤😊
Like GRAND Pa
Or from below, we never know!
Eddie is looking up and smiling at Wolfie! “That’s my son!”
❤️💕❤️
Nobody's in heaven. 1 Thessalonians 4. Read it. Everyone in Jesus, that is asleep (dead), is waiting for his return.
He actually does every single part of a rock band, drums, bass, guitar, and vocals! He made a whole album by himself
Pretty epic
Needs to lose some weight
Made w whole albums by himself that is!!! Yeah so talented i think that's even one of Eddie's guitars he's playing.
@@rr1prothe guitar is new EVH instrument line call SA-126 that will release this month. The idea is come from Wolfgang himself.
He's great live, completely blown away in his skills.

Love it. Like. Thats not how that works brah 😂

Singers are like bassists in the fact that they do not have brains
Tryin’ to pick up the sound of Wolf’s fingers tapping on the fretboard, while the amp picks up the sound of the strings. Lol
@@seanflanagan3287 He’s a great guitarist, actually. Try having a sense of humor, he surely does.

He felt that for sure. He was in it. One moment in time.
Wolfie BRINGS IT! He truly is his Fathers SON! Rock on bruh!
🤟🤟

Not to mention everyone watching. Look at Pat Smear and Justin Hawkins' faces. They're just all in awe.

Wolfgang is badass. Making his dad proud!
Kind of gave me the chills. I saw Van Halen for each of their tours with David Lee Roth before Sammy. They’d pack whatever coliseum they’d play in and they just rocked! It wasn’t just a concert with VH, it was a PARTY! They were so much fun!

Watched them way back in the day😂🎉
Carrying the DNA into the future! He really nails those songs. WVH is one talented human being.
Yeah too bad he absolutely refuses to play them.
My gosh, he plays so effortlessly. This was such a phenomenal tribute concert, both were. RIP to both EVH & Taylor.
Keepin the talent flowing. Ed is for sure smiling from above.
He’s absolutely shredding and he looks like he’s barely even moving. It’s incredible
He is totally awesome! And his father would be very proud of him!

Kid is amazing and an acclaimed songwriter.
He's the "real deal" and his dad "EVH" was super proud of his son before his untimely passing! Way to go Wolfgang!

Bass player not drummer
@@CWyldePro he plays all bass, guitar and drums. I just know that his main instrument is the drums
@@filsolano5465 bassist
It’s not difficult stuff to play.. and I’m assuming he’s playing through the same rig as his father. If I had Ed’s rig I could sound just like him too

That was awesome tribute to Taylor Hawkins, God I still miss him!!!
We all know this Dude is just getting better and better..His career will be Starstudded⭐🌟⭐🌟⭐🌟⭐🌟🌟 Rock on WVH!
His album is absolutely killer. With how well he plays all the instruments , there's no doubt.
I saw Mammoth WVH last year and they were amazing, Wolfgang is a beast.
Best thing about this vid and this whole show was watching Dave's face as all his wildest musical dreams came true
I love that Dave Grohl is the ultimate enabler! He is part of the asking to do something, I’m sure but he takes part in it!!! It makes it happen
I believe that Dave is just an all around great guy! Always smiling and willing to help out others! Cool dude would love to meet him!!
The SOLO is the most impressive part. Too bad it’s not shown here. Wolfgang NAILS it!!!
The look on Dave Grohl’s face at the beginning of the song is priceless… meanwhile, the drummer is stroking out ten seconds in… I hope Alex saw that
Drummer is Josh Freese he's a great drummer. Played on hundreds of albums as a studio drummer and been in some great bands too.
