Mammoth WVH - Hellfest - ARTE Concert

#MAMMOTHWVH #HELLFEST
🇫🇷 Être le fils d’un immense guitar hero et avoir le même prénom que l’un des plus grands musiciens de tous les temps, ça forge forcément une destinée. C’est donc sans surprise que Wolfgang Van Halen se passionne très tôt pour la musique. Devenu pro, il fait ses armes aux côtés de Van Halen, Tremonti et Clint Lowery.
Maintenant bien en place, Wolfgang Van Halen opère en solo sous le pseudo ‪@MammothWVH‬. Armé de ses dons de multi-instrumentiste et de vocaliste, l’Américain développe un heavy rock bien musclé. Ce style, bien différent de celui de son père, a donné naissance à deux albums : Mammoth WVH (2021) et Mammoth II (2023).
Mammoth WVH a donc tout ce qu’il faut pour se faire un (pré)nom ! La preuve par l’exemple au Hellfest où ce futur mastodonte se produit sur l’une des Mainstages.
Filmé le 29 juin 2024 au Hellfest Open Air Festival, Clisson.
____________
🇩🇪 Einen waschechten Guitar Hero zum Vater zu haben und dann auch noch denselben Vornamen wie einer der größten Musiker aller Zeiten zu tragen, geht nicht spurlos an einem vorüber. Kein Wunder also, dass Wolfgang Van Halen sich schon sehr früh für Musik begeisterte. Nachdem er in die Profi-Liga gewechselt war, sammelte er Erfahrungen an der Seite von Van Halen, Tremonti und Clint Lowery.
Inzwischen ist Wolfgang Van Halen ein gestandener Musiker und unter dem Pseudonym Mammoth WVH als Solokünstler unterwegs. Der Multiinstrumentalist und Sänger steht für einen Heavy Rock, der sich gewaschen hat. Dieser Stil, der ihn deutlich von seinem Vater unterscheidet, ist mittlerweile auf zwei Alben verewigt: „Mammoth WVH“ (2021) und „Mammoth II“ (2023).
Mammoth WVH verfügt über alles, was es braucht, um sich einen eigenen Namen zu machen. Den Beweis dafür erbringt er auf dem Hellfest, wo der künftige Big Player eine der Mainstages erobert hat.

Real music played by real people. There's hope for the world yet.

[@johnabbottphotography]

Wolfgang's technique is off of the charts. He's learned so much from his dad, and is still his own musician. I'm so thrilled that he's playing his own stuff, but that he also paid attention to what his dad did well: musicality, touch, melody, technique, bends, blues, harmony, and beautiful rhythms. He's so good.

Ronnie is such a great bassist, and I love his energy to get the crowd fired up.

[@CrazyCooter-ld6sz]

As great as the guy from Korn who played the exact same bassline on every song? Jon Entwhistle, Geddy Lee, Michael Anthony, etc. that was great.

[@RedHotGuitarist44]

On drugs for sure, but still he owned the stage ! Unfortunate we were quite far from Wolfgang because of Metallica custom stage...

[@ronmexico1975]

Looks like an attention whore. I mean, this is Wolfgang’s project after all.

[@karendharrison]

His passion for music just radiates out of him. He's so fun to watch and listen to. What a talent. And such a cool guy too.

[@PistolsPlayground]

Wolfy has really come into his own, he's a killer guitarist, a killer singer, and a killer songwriter. I'm impressed.

[@gattingbowledwarne]

I think his drumming on the albums is outstanding

[@AdrienMD]

That take a Bow solo at 29:55 is what we were all here for 😮😮😮

For some. I saw them last year in Frankfurt, since then I've been obsessed with the more aggressive live version of Like a Pastime.

That drummer has the toughest job in the band. Keeping that tempo, fills, and time changes isn't easy to do for 40 something minutes. He's like an athlete!

[@jamesnorton7601]

Dude's a helluva singer. His time with Tremontti is showing in the song writing. He's cleaner than his dad. May have to learn about the band. Sounds great

[@heathband]

would love to hear him start working w some people like Thundercat, Billy Strings..idk, Yves Tumor. Branch out creatively. No shade to Tremonti and butt rock ( i dig it), but for someone so young and gifted, it does feel like looking back at a genre instead of breaking new ground. Does that make sense?

[@jamesnorton7601]

@@heathband yup. The band should do their own thing. The drummer sleighs, the band is tight. I think they need unrestricted song writing from the label.

[@Scomelbasses]

I’m not a Thundercat fan, I like Billy Strings, but I don’t find any of those mentioned are doing something I haven’t heard many times before. Genre creating or breaking never happens by trying, it just happens organically.

IMO, if people are gonna go the route of "EVH's" Son, Your "copy" has a tad better "contrast" than ur Pops...a little sharper and VERY well rounded, Man...keep KILLING IT

[@rikkifknrobin]

Everyone talks about how “he was in Van Halen of course he had a career boost,” and yes that’s true. A name can go a long way, (just look at Jeff Buckley), but Wolf has really come into his own as an artist. Mammoth is more than just a Van Halen spinoff. If it was just that, he could’ve played that style forever, but that’s not what you’re hearing. Wolf is probably the most talented individual on the planet and happens to be Eddie Van Halen’s son

[@XJT0428]

Yes he will look way better not a bad looking kid needs to drop

[@foodog777]

Agreed. He looks better but could afford a personal trainer/dietician. As great a musician as he is, he leads a sedentary lifestyle of playing music amazingly well and video game addiction. I wish Valerie, a former Jenny Craig weight-loss program spokesperson, would help him for his own health.
