Mammoth WVH brings kid on stage to perform Don’t Back Down - Columbus OH 2023

This kid has a sign asking to play with Wolf, Wolf read it and asked if he knew Don’t back down and then I hit record.

[@ryantackett4634]

Thays my son Trace playing!!!!

[@GinnyHorn]

Trace brought the house down. You should be proud!

[@ryantackett4634]

I've so very proud of him. He is a fine young man. Thank you

[@photobearcmh]

That's awesome, he rocked the house. Great ending to a fantastic night of music.

[@rustyabrams]

I was there. It was a badass way to finish an already stellar show!!!

[@giacondaesposito]

wow! how groovy for him!!

[@johnnywomack548]

HOW OFTEN DO YOU SEE A GUY WITH THE NAME VAN HALEN HAND HIS GUITAR TO SOMEONE ELSE TO PLAY? TOO COOL!

[@MisterWilliamss]

Wolf is definitely taking a page out of the Foo Fighters Audience Participation Handbook!

[@MarkyMark577]

Coming from a person that isn't/wasn't a big fan of Van Halen (not a dislike just not my thing) I have said since I first seen WVH he's the next Dave Grohl....charisma and talent and humour wise (plus the modern music style which I love)...going to be the top of the industry like that no question!

[@frankgutierrez8404]

Don't forget Green Day too

[@ecs3391]

This kid has been my best friend since i was born he has always had my back and ive always had his Im so glad to see him here HE NEEDS TO BE RECOGNIZED HE HAS AMAZING TALLET LETS GO TRACEEEE

[@GeorgiosZachosRstickGreece]

Wolf V.H. is so simple and at the same time immeasurably large. Great person and artist. He is starting to inspire a new generation as well. Amazing

[@Tatted-ne7tu]

So awesome, every guitar players dream to get asked to come up. Kudos to the kid for being prepared and not freezing up. That moment will live with him forever.

[@ryantackett4634]

I'm his dad and believe it or not that was the very 1st time he was ever on a stage in his life

[@iTip28]

In the age of bands using backing tracks...THIS is proff of why pure live music is king!

[@sandylopez8048]

Wolf just made that kids year, pure class!

[@b.snider6622]

That was so freakin' COOL for the kid and for Wolfy for letting him jam with them!

[@gingerkittie6206]

Stuff like this is why wolfie is so much fun to watch.

[@99jws]

Trace! Remember that name. He's a friend of mine and a great guy, and he has a great future!

[@practicallybalanced7749]

so happy someone captured and posted this! such a good show

[@Deify52]

Herrlich!! Er wird sehr stolz sein so wie auch seine Eltern. Hab feuchte Augen..

[@michaelparra8719]

you know you made it when other want to play your music

[@tracyleblanc5311]

Yo Wolfie carry on the legacy sir. You've made it your own. God bless

[@live2cd]

haha thanks for getting this video!! what a crazy awesome show and this was the perfect ending!!!

[@RockFan89]

That's so wonderful to see. Younger generation into rock, (not the trending pop and other music out there these days) AND knowing how to play the song on guitar

[@curly437]

Nice to see someone playing The Ripper bass

[@lynnk6550]

this has got to be the best thing I have seen in a long time! this band is some kind of special and so is that kid!! making me smile big time!

[@suehaynie5054]

Wolfie! Sharing the stage! ❤

[@user-qi7zr6qd6f]

This! This right here is what makes live rock shows so cool. Wolfgang could just not give the kid a chance to come up on stage. The band could act like a bunch of tools to him. But they got into it and made this a night he'll never forget. Thank you WVH! Thank you Mammoth! ROCK ON!!!!🤘🤘

[@cristinaboardwine9032]

What a fun night

[@chrismoody9855]

HELL YES!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘 I love Mammoth, & this guy rocked one of my favorite songs. Very nice!

[@jmo4sc]

He's a Badass

[@surfntchr]

That was amazing! Wolf is so humble and cool and the kid rocked it!

[@lorigilbert3173]

Wow! That was so cool 👍 That kid will never forget that Lol Just seen them at the NORVA. And they were awesome❣

[@michaelmorrison3446]

He made me real happy when he got on the stage and rocked out. Thank you and keep playing the guitar you’re good

[@steveharris4874]

What can you say but, WOW!! Many thanks for sharing the awesome (and once in a lifetime) video! That is undoubtedly an event and moment in time to cherish and remember, forever!! 👍👍🎶

[@glenmallory9982]

Hat tipped and I bow sir. Now keep up the good work.👍

[@bobvelasquez8420]

[@johnpaikopoulos7691]

That is just awesome wow 👏🏽

[@walterevans2118]

Ah , now THAT'S NICE ☺...Real generous doing that......He ROCKED OUT TOO .

[@berniegus]

You could tell dude didn't wanna leave the stage! It's a rush!!! I'm sure he was flying high for days after.

[@darthhull85]

I talked to him after to ask if he got one of wolfs picks cause I caught 4 and was gonna give him one. He did, And he was absolutely amped up. Can’t blame him. He killed it.

[@sipnscoot3049]

Right on. Got to do the foo fighters thing! Keep it going

[@Irishman.1]

Awesome job

[@jessekauffman3336]

That’s great

[@gregdonald9506]

Band sounds tight with that kid!

[@glenmallory9982]

Great stuff man!

[@MetalFreak2]

Thats too cool

[@melissacompton4543]

What a performance by Trace ❤ he was a BOSS on stage !!!

[@ryantackett4634]

Believe it or not that was his very 1st time on a stage

[@melissacompton4543]

@@ryantackett4634 he was ready !!! I'll be buying a ticket one day to see him play live !!!!

[@donwillis9103]

Wow. Very cool!

[@mustangsally45601]

This kid is so incredibly kind and talented. This could not have happened to a more deserving kid. You may be 18 Trace, but I’m still calling you a kid. Haha.

[@darthhull85]

I talked to him after the show and I thought he had to be pretty young. Definitely a top life moment

[@ryantackett4634]

He turned 18 back in October ​@@darthhull85

[@marcususa]

Come to Detroit Wolfgang!!!

[@frankgutierrez8404]

Wolf seems like a pretty cool guy 😎 I don't know why Dave is trying make him look like a rich spoiled brat 🤷‍♂️

[@jcassel61]

Bc Dave has always had mental problems. Made him a GREAT frontman but comes off a bit of a weirdo IRL.

[@jayelfman]

I don't think that kid realizes he is playing Eddie Van Halens guitar..

[@darthhull85]

He isn’t. That guitar didn’t exist when Ed was alive.

[@jayelfman]

@@darthhull85 Your right, I thought it was this guitar cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oNTHCSG66F6efk9dfF3sk7.jpg

[@cmikesmith664]

That’s Wolfgang’s guitar.🤦‍♂️
