Wolfgang Van Halen / Mammoth WVH Performs New Song ‘Distance’ On TODAY

[@sandyfeet9502]

For me it is IMPOSSIBLE to listen to DISTANCE and with Wolfgang without crying....there is a lot of emotion, passion and a bit of sadness what a wonderful tribute to EVH!!

[@cynthiak88nashvilletn69]

In an interview with Howard Stern, Wolf shared a vulnerable moment he had with his dad where he asked him "Dad, what if the music I makes sucks?" His dad's response was succinct & immediate: "Impossible." You could see in Wolf's face how that moment of validation & joy gave him an extra layer of insulation & confidence against the harshness of which he was destined to be judged, & it reminded me just how vital it is that parents support their children's dreams & ambitions. Also, the way his Mom just goes nuts over his various appearances & endeavors just really makes me smile.

[@atticussmith6812]

If you've lost a father, this song hits you right in the chest. Beautiful tribute.

He’s such a polite and well spoken young man. It’s obvious he was raised by wonderful parents.

[@aprilgosa5779]

hard to believe Wolfie is already almost 30 I was just watching a video of Arseno Hall's show in 1991 I believe and he was so little and sweet while Val was being interviewed and trying to get him to dance which he did when nobody was looking then he would stop and Eddie was so proud then Wolfie saw Valerie on video and went Mama I believe LOL so cute hard to think he is already 26

No matter what the distance, it’s such a great line. I was much older than Wolfgang when I lost my father, never would have had the strength to do what he did there. No way. I wish him peace as he carries on down the path.

[@Iwilldestroyyoo]

I mean, he really isn’t. Meh, he’s subpar at best, I’ve been around local musicians for 50 years, I’ve seen and jammed with musicians much, much, MUCH more talented than this dude. He’s only getting attention because of who his dad is, didn’t have to earn his keep, just got plopped in the spotlight without ever earning it. Can’t respect that. Imagine having a band for almost 50 years, and you end up getting replaced by some spoiled teenager. That’s something you just can’t respect, it’s a big 🖕 to your longtime band mate. I don’t care what you say, even Anthony said it’s BS. So, Eddie can get bent. 🤮
