Wolf is a truly awesome musician in his own right. A precious gift to us all. 👍

Wolf is such a nice down to earth guy. Great artist!!!!!

His marshall tones were the best .

My favorite Ed story about Wolf was when he said Wolf got in trouble at school for literally "Throwing a pumpkin" at his teacher.

I'm old as fxxk. I can still remember my mate bringing in VH first album on TDK cassette in around 1979 to school and we debated whether the end of Eruption was a keyboard, or piano with some sort of effect on it.. We'd never heard anything like it. It was just ground breaking. Next to Hendrix, the most innovative, ground breaking guitarist ever.

Eddie's tone on ADKOT is my favorite.

That young man has it in his blood and DNA. We should have a great future of rocking music from WVH.

I think A Different Kind of Truth is so underrated. I don't care when they wrote the songs, I love a ton of songs on that album.

Id love to hear this album with the Van Halen I guitar sound

Love what you do man. I'm a total fan. You make your dad and mom proud everyday Wolfgang. You are a amazing musician .

Is the best Sound of Eddie ever had was with the Marshall.

Personally i prefer the marshall/PAF tone but i respect Ed's modern Wolf/5150 tone. it became the tone of modern metal and the 5150 amps have become the modern classic amp along with the Mesa dual rectifier.

What a cool dude Wolfgang is

Mammoth WVH is already ridiculously good. Incredible debut.

Wolfe seems like such a cool, down to earth kinda guy. Being comfortable with who we are ain't always easy for some people, especially with celebrity status. Much respect to his parents...

I love how Wolfy is such a nice guy just like his old man just a class act. I hate how people say shit like he’s living off the fame of his father these people obviously haven’t listened to his music he put the time in to be the musician he is and it takes a TON of time to get to the level he’s at you don’t just automatically become that good because ur dad is the best guitarist to ever live you have to work just as hard as everyone else ! To top it off just look at all the other kids that tried to follow their parents footsteps and failed because they didn’t put the time in it doesn’t matter how great ur parents were at anything ur not gonna have a real career if ur not good and Wolfy has a career because he legit is that good. He would be just as successful if his dad wasn’t Eddie.

Those difficult teenage years

EVH was the Hendrix of my generation. No one will ever come close!

My first love..played every instrument and started with the piano… he dragged me to this music store for some cabinet..I didn’t know what he was talking about..5150 Cabinet it’s was 1996 or 97..$2,700 in the 90s was ALOT of money but I will never forget that sound. It used to put me to sleep..you could hear it down the street but I would fall asleep on the couch in the basement 15 feet away from that thing..I’ll never forget that sound

The Howard Stern story is hilarious Jeremy… thank you for bringing that up😂😅 cheers - R

Eddie might have said that first record sounded bad...but that's not what I remember...I remember hearing that when it first came out when I was in the 6th grade and my mind exploding when the needle dropped on the record. No one had ever heard that before

Wolf is a great musician and singer. Seems like a really nice guy also. Just wish I could get into their music more.

Love wold guitar playing

I have two amps love them

The guy who just inherited a fortune says kids today are so lucky

Nice Jeremy!

Wolf, good luck man. My amps? I play it to the brink of blowing up.

1:12 Why go back to that tone? Because it was freaking awesome that's why.

You can definitely tell a difference between a hot tubes amp and solid state circuit board

There is a wall of 2" reel to reel tape floor to ceiling of Ed noodling & song ideas. That's a fact.

Holy shit! When Wolfe said “Oh! The guitar sounded like shit!” There was something about his facial expression and inflection in his voice that looked and sounded just like Ed! The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!

VH 1 came out on my birthday in 1978. I bought it on 8 track and played the f*ck out of it on my portable player. At that time none of the kids I hung around with had ever heard of them. I wore that cassette out.

They should re-record adkot now using the VH I sound and re-release that. Also our back the original lyrics for Put out the lights & Let’s get rocking

ADKOT had great songs on it -- a very good album - the problem was it was not recorded well - not mixed well either -- too bad it was not recorded as well as the initial VH albums were because the songs are good as are the performances

The old tone would have been much better and what we all wanted! The guitar sound off that album was the best ever and never had been replicated even with modern plug ins

You kids crack me up 😂

I guess you are releasing more from this interview?

What's funny to alot of us is that the first Van Halen album sound trumps anything Edward did with Peaveys, Soldanos, EVH's...yeah there is gain, but the Marshall still the Holy Grail rock tone.... for some of us. This is just subjective opinion. Whats funny too is I used all the aforementioned amps, but once I bought a Germino which is basically 1968 super lead, I get bummed whenever I play modern preamp gain fizz machines. Think I'm crazy? Listen to the first 4 VH albums. My youtube channel has plenty of videos I created using that amp, and I still get kids asking what Bogner I am really using LOL

The 5150 was the plexi just modded.Instead of screwing with a variac they built in a preamp stage basically so you can plug right in with no need for anything else to get a good tone.The less shit to set up the better.

Ironic… as I just get on a subway as a kid is playing a Game Boy game on his iPhone….

Well, I guess here we go to you tube howard stern

Really wanted to like his music...sad that i'm not into it.

Heard one song off adkot i like and the rest are eh.

Ok

Looks like his old man:)

The 5150 is a cheaper Soldano SLO 100. End of story😅

I've got a EVH 50W head and cab. I'm not a great player but I can confidently say that if you can't get a good rock guitar tone/sound out of that amp, you suck.lol It may not be the best, but it definitely can rock and get the job done.

Why go back to that old tone?

The guitar on VH1 "sounds like shit?" WTF??? What's all I need to know about the someone's opinion. Fuck some grunge guy's opinion about the ICON of tone! No one even comes close to Eddie's tonal ear and his guitar tone.

Get your own identity.

Nepo

He looks like he delivers food, i dont get it

Sorry but the tone on ADKOT was not good .

I dont give a f..k what this dude says

If it was not for Eddie big Wolf would be a nobody he is living off his Dad famous name!

Eddie was going deaf. The 51503 sounds like shit compared to the peaveys and Marshall’s.

Stop lying Wolf! Give it up ya big goof!!

I wish my guitar sounded that shitty. Don't get me wrong, the EVHIII is an amazing head. I'm more interested in how long he played the Soldano.

Eddie being a tone chaser is such a stupid statement. Just shows Eddie wasn't too bright in some areas. First album had the best guitar sound ever! They ( vh) never lived up to the greatness of the sound of that album ever again. Even the songs were never not out matched.

i never got why people wanted to sound like other guitarists i love randy eddie page iommi angus but i dont want to sound like them
