Anyone who says WVH is just riding off of his dad’s fame is a fool. He is so damn talented. No doubt he owes a lot of credit to his pops but he is out there totally doing his own thing now and it’s working for him.

[@jackshittle]

I feel like if this song came out in the 90's it would have been a big radio hit.

[@TheMOLTENPLANET]

I agree. Really like this.. Sounds like he/they are still developing. Not really re-inventing the wheel here. The guitar talent is obviously apparent. Pun intended Yeah Wolfie!!

[@riskromer9773]

One of the rare cases of children of gifted musicians who actually has talent of his own. This kid rocks!

[@kimsisk7480]

My son is the same,he can rip the hell outta a guitar and taught himself by reading tabs. 😮🙏✌️✌️✌️

[@iplaywithrocksforfun]

It's actually not rare, it's common. Most kids just choose not to ride on the wings of their famous parent because they want to make their own way. They use different names to gain fame, not the famous name.

[@edcollins9377]

Kid??? I don't get it!! Wolf (or should I say Wolfie) is a month away from being a 33 year old man, yet everyone treats him like he's Eddie's 15 year old son!! I won't deny he's talented, but before saying he's another "chip off the old block" let's not forget what "old block" Eddie Van Halen had accomplished by the time he was 33 years old. First of all, on his very first album, he not only defined himself as a virtuoso, he completely re-invented rock guitar!! (The only other person in rock n' roll who holds that distinction is Jimi Hendrix!!) Almost overnight, Eddie became a huge influence on virtually every up-and-coming rock guitarist on this planet!! Secondly, Eddie had recorded 8 albums on a major label by the time he was 33. All 8 of these albums were multi-platinum albums (2 were certified diamond), 2 of them went to #1 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart (5150/0U812), one went to #2 (1984), one went to #3 (Diver Down), one went to #5 (Fair Warning), and two went to #6 (VH II, and Women & Children First). In other words, 7 of his 8 albums charted at #6 or higher and this included two #1 sellers. Although the VH debut album was the only 1 of these 8 that failed to crack the Top 10, this album would eventually be certified Diamond in the USA meaning it has sold over 10 million copies in the USA alone making it and 1984 (also Diamond) his two biggest selling albums. Although VH never tried or wanted to be a Top 40 band, by the time Eddie was 33 he managed to have 13 Top 40 hits (4 of which made the Top 10). Those hits were "Jump" (#1), Why Can't This Be Love (#3), "When It's Love" (#5), Pretty Woman (Cashbox #10, Billboard #12 ), "I'll Wait (#13), Panama (#13), "Dance The Night Away (#15), "Dreams" (#22), "Love Walks In" (#22), "You Really Got Me" (#36), Dancing In The Street (#38), and many, many more that just missed the Top 40 but charted in the Top 100. They also had numerous songs that were played heavily on AOR radio stations, such as "Ain't Talkin' Bout Love, Running With The Devil, & Unchained. Let's not forget the power of MTV in the 1980's and the fact that Van Halen was one of the biggest and most requested acts on MTV. In addition to their big hits, VH had many videos that were on heavy rotation on MTV including "The Cradle Will Rock" and the mega-popular "Hot For Teacher". Last but not least, VH was one of the most successful touring acts throughout the period of 1978 thru 1988 (when Eddie reached the age of 33). Their 1984 Tour was one of the biggest grossing tours of all time. In 1983, they were paid 1.5 million dollars to play at the US Festival making them the highest paid act at that 3-day event. (Note: $1.5 million dollars in 1983 would be equivalent to $4.53 million today. That works out to an approximate hourly wage of $2.25 million/hour minus expenses for the band (assuming a 2 hour show).

[@edcollins9377]

@riskromer9773 I wouldn't say that at all. I think musical talent runs in the genes and it certainly helps if you have a famous dad to inspire and hopefully teach you. On the other hand, a lot of famous musicians stay on the road constantly and aren't home much to teach their kids, but I'm sure they have no problem arranging quality lessons for their kids.

[@scribesntribes]

I know when he first "appeared", a lot of people sh*t all over him saying he only got his job because of his dad. I think this proves them all wrong... you don't write, sing, and perform like that without talent and a TON of practice. Kid's earned every bit of his success. Well done, sir!

[@Tone_Jammer]

We all know he can play, but that voice .... Wow! Very talented guy

[@davidcollins4993]

He deserves a'lot of credit . Plays drums , bass , guitar ,lead guitar , sings , writes all his on songs. Hell yes deserves much credit . 🤘💯

[@ronaldwilson9525]

Wolfie has his own sound and is very good. I highly respect him for paving his own path and not merely copying his famous dad. Eddie would be proud.

[@Dadandchicken]

His solo was copy/paste Eddie licks, but whatever.

[@mcbnj]

He has two solo records. The first record was more poppy and less EVH influenced, the second record he intentionally channeled his dad and played some of his guitars too. Both records are fantastic. Hating on other people is really not a good look, I had to learn the hard way.@@Dadandchicken

[@vernethibodeaux507]

I don't hate anybody. Wolfgang is a good player. But there are tens of thousands of good players around the country. I'm glad he's able to do what he wants to do. But I wonder if anyone would have ever heard of him, if not for his dad.

[@Trentstone121]

​@@Dadandchickenwho cares? He plays them better than 99.999% of guitarists. Either way, op was referring to the song, not the stupid solo. The song ALWAYS matters far more than the solo. Don't be so negative.
