Yeah, his vocals on this are fantastic. His vocals on previous songs have been good, but this is a powerful, straight forward rock and roll song, and he's killing it!

He is absolutely amazing! I love that he seems to have a good sense of humor about himself, too. Such a fun video.

Yeah man it's a FANASTIC debut album! We have tickets to see Wolfgang in Sept., and I'm super excited about it! And thanks so much for subscribing! We're glad you're sticking with us!

@@LikeMindedLunatics He learned from one of the greatest , plus the DNA thing ! 😉

@@johnnie3Chords I know. It's amazing. It's also amazing how humble and down to earth he seems. In every interview I watch with him, he seems like a normal dude I might have grown up with, and not Rock Royalty. I guess it just speaks to his upbringing. And I'm sure you've seen it, but "Distance" is such an amazing, heart-breaking video. I honestly don't know how he's able to sing that song live. I reacted to that video here if you haven't checked it out already: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iqp0dLurp93Tc2Q.html

AWESOME! I'm glad you liked it! We need videos like this! My wife is a physician and medical director of a residency program, so I kinda have some insight into what you might have been going through with COVID. I hope things are getting better and thank you for doing what you do. And if you haven't subscribed, we hope you do so. We're gonna keep creating content like this, and we wanna build this family of like minded folks. And if you've already subbed, thank you and WELCOME \m/

Right there with you!!! \m/ I wanna see rock tearing up the charts again! I don't know if you've heard it yet, but Dee Snider is releasing a new album, and the first video was AWESOME! I reacted to it here if you wanna check it out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jK-jntSiyM_VkXk.html And hopefully you've subscribed to the channel. I'm gonna keep reacting to rock and metal stuff!

Yeah, it's great! Wolf is putting out some amazing music. Can't wait for the full album to drop.

Yes! I am so embarrassed I didn't catch that reference when I filmed this video! I also reacted to "Distance" if you want to check that one out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iqp0dLurp93Tc2Q.html That one is a lot more emotional. I hope you've checked out the entire album. That vinyl has been on constant rotation in our house since it came out, and we got tickets to see Wolf at a small club here in Austin! So I'm pumped! I've also reacted to quite a few VH songs as well if you want to check those out.

What an incredibly kind comment. Thank you so much! Hopefully you've hit the subscribe button and plan on sticking around! We've got a lot of content like this and a ton more planned and we'd love you to hang out with us!

I completely agree. I feel like in a couple of years he's going to be just as big as VH. I'm hoping Wolf helps usher in the return of big rock and roll shows.

A couple of other people pointed that out to me too, and I'm KICKING myself for not recognizing it! I love VH and can't believe that didn't click with me. Ah well. Video's already posted! I gotta live with the shame I guess!

sure is. he has some goodies from dad in several songs but he is definitely his own man.

We love Wolfgang around here, too. If you haven't seen it, we also reacted to Wolfgang's "Distance." It was an incredibly emotional video for us. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iqp0dLurp93Tc2Q.html

That's awesome! I thought it might be, but I couldn't find anything to verify it before I shot the episode.

He's AWESOME, right? I'm loving his stuff! The last I heard he's supposed to be playing the AFTERSHOCK festival in Oct. We're thinking about going. Metallica is playing two nights of that fest as well.

@@LikeMindedLunatics fantastic lineups! That will be amazing!

I know! It looks like a great fest. We're still trying to make it happen.

💯 I feel like we're watching something amazing about to break in real time.

I know! He's fantastic! If you get a chance, check out his touring schedule. www.mammothwvh.com/ We bought tickets for his show here in Austin, and the show is in a small club and the tickets were dirt cheap. I have a feeling that he's going to blow up real quick, and this might be the only tour where you can see him up close without spending a ton of money.

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

They absolutely did, and you can see his love for both of them. I also reacted to "Distance," which destroys me every time I watch it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iqp0dLurp93Tc2Q.html

Oh trust me, I haven't forgotten his dad. If you haven't seen it, we did a Ladi's Rockucation where I walk him through Van Halen, and the third part is us watching Wolfie's "Distance" together. Part I: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9qCo91nyq2-eJs.html Part II:kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lbiTpM9onrWZnKc.html Part III:kzfaq.info/get/bejne/md1lZaegudqvmac.html And we have a reaction to WVH's "Another Celebration At The End Of The World" dropping on Friday. Make sure you're subscribed to see when that posts.

I know. It's really kind of exciting thinking about where he's at now as an artist, and where he might go. I said this in a previous video, but we saw him here on Austin at a small club, and it was stunning. I found myself wondering as I watched him if that was what it was like seeing Van Halen in a tiny club back in 1976 in L.A. The room just seemed too small to contain the music, but at the same time, Wolf was so, so nice. It was like he was just a buddy hanging out on stage who happened to be an amazing musician. And I desperately hope you're right about rock. I feel like it's time for a new group of artist to bring that anger and in your face energy back.

HA! 100%! We just saw him open for Metallica and then we see him again in Nov here in Austin. I can't wait! He's awesome.

Thanks so much! We're glad you liked it! He is so, so talented, and even better, he genuinely seems like an empathetic, decent guy. I was devastated when Eddie passed. I talk about it a lot in the "Distance" and "Dreams" video I posted last week, and after Ed died, I spent a ton of time just watching interviews and stuff like that. And Wolf seems like a really nice, cool guy. And I can't imagine the weight he must feel on his shoulders. Like I said in that previous video, I know how it felt for me losing Eddie, just a fan of VH. Wolf lost all that stuff, plus a dad who adored him. That's gotta be just debilitating. So I'm so, so happy Wolf is doing his thing. Creating music that's his, while also throwing things in there that people like us, people who loved his dad, will immediately see. And if you haven't already, we'd love it if you hit the subscribe button and stick around the channel.

@@LikeMindedLunatics already subscribed 🤘 if you haven’t already I would check out Wolfs interview he did with Bill Burr the comedian. After I watched that I had a whole new respect for him as a person. Such a humble down to earth dude, and your absolutely right after everything that happened and being as close as he was to his dad he has handled everything extremely well. What I find most appealing is yes he shares the same last name as his dad, but he doesn’t try and ride his dads coat tails just for attention, he wants to prove his talent the hard way and I just respect the hell out of him for it. Losing Eddie was tough for sure , but listening to wolfs music every now and again I get some major VH vibes and he isn’t trying to do it I think for him it’s just in his blood like you said in the video and it never fails to give me chills haha. I know they don’t have a video but I would love to see a reaction to “Think it Over” ...very different from the other tracks and Wolf said that was his dads favorite from the record so there is a lot of sentimental value there and you definitely hear it !

@@MrJdub322 Awesome! We appreciate it! \m/ I had not seen that interview, so thank you for bringing it to my attention! I've kind of fallen behind on Bill's podcast since COVID because I'm no longer driving for work, but I love Burr so much. Ole Billy Red Balls. I really like "Think It Over." It's a contemplative, emotional song, and thematically, it's a lot closer to "Distance" than this one. I've kinda backed myself into a corner with the Friday Night Reactions because I've been trying to focus on songs that have interesting/fun/weird videos and not just cool songs. I may try to find a way to feature it on the Monday Matchups. What I find interesting about "Think It Over" is that to my ear, it's much more in line with bands like Jimmy Eat World or Weezer than straight forward rock and roll bands like "Don't Back Down." Wolf is so talented, and I love that he's obviously playing with genres and not afraid to do different things. I'm really excited to just sit down with the new album and listen to it all the way through and see what kind of vibe it has.

@@LikeMindedLunatics your welcome !! Ohhhh Billy freckles is the best 😂 you’ll love it ! Wolf is such a cool dude! Gotcha!! May have to throw in a Wolfgang Wednesday or a Mammoth Monday! Haha I can see that, it’s definitely a lot more poppy than the others. What’s cool is even tho it’s relatable to those bands it’s still very unique to him. There’s a lot of versatility with these songs but they all sound like Wolfgang I think he has really established his own brand with these 4 singles. I’m like you tho I can’t wait for the record I love all these singles and excited to see what other elements he explores musically .

@@MrJdub322 We have have to do a whole series of videos when his entire album drops. That may be a lot of fun!

YES! Us too! I'm so excited about the new album! I think we're going to do a speedrun reaction to the whole album when it drops, so make sure you're subscribed to the channel and stick around!

@@LikeMindedLunatics sounds good!

And he's great on the drums, but I don't know how the lead singer can put up with that behavior!

\m/

He sure did. Wolfie is rock royalty. He could have just kinda coasted on his name and people would have still been fawning all over him, but I love the fact that he didn't do that. Instead, he literally plays every instrument on the first album, and to top it all off, he seems like a genuinely nice dude. Grand slam on his first at bat. I don't know if you've seen it, but I also reacted to "Distance" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iqp0dLurp93Tc2Q.html And we recently saw WVH live in Austin. I filed a Rock Report about that night if you wanna check that one out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZtR-etyd3K7bkXU.html And thanks for commenting. If you like some of our other stuff, we'd love it if you hit that subscribe button and stuck around!

That's awesome! I love VH and didn't recognize the call-back. Which song does Eddie do that on? I'm kicking myself for not recognizing it.

@@LikeMindedLunatics So This Is Love off of Fair Warning.

@@LikeMindedLunatics Eddie does it on the last 2 notes of So this is love...

Totally missed that! That's awesome!

Eu acho que você está correto!

NICE!

I hope Wolfganag is with us for a long, long time. I feel like he's going to do great things. And I know when my mom was sick and I was caring for her I stopped paying attention to my own health. Part of it was logistics. Mom needed care and there wasn't a lot of time to eat healthy or go to the gym and I was exhausted most of the time. But the other part of it was depression. My mom's been gone almost five years and I'm just now starting to feel "normal." Give'em some time. Wolfgang seems like he's got his head on straight, but I feel sure he's still hurting.
