We know that Wolfgang does not want to spend his whole career covering Van Halen. He's his own powerhouse. But when he gives an occasional nod, it's very endearing. The fans just miss his dad.

Not only does he sound like EVH, I know that it's important to WVH to play it JUST like his dad did. Note for note. We've all got dads. Wolfie mimicking his dad on this song is his greatest tribute to pops.

His dad taught him music, and his mom taught him to be a kind, caring, person. He comes from a great family.

Millions of us guitar players around the world have tried to play this song as best we can, but there is something about watching Wolf play it that just send chills to my spine, that was a very memorable moment in rock history!

I was so devastated after Eddie’s passing, but knowing that Wolfgang can play as well as his father and sound just like him helps heal the loss of his dad. Can’t say that about too many musicians, Neil Peart comes to mind. No one will ever sound like him again. But Eddie Van Halen’s legacy is in good hands. I know he is looking down on his son with the biggest of smiles on his face, prouder than any father could be.

Just imagine having Eddie as a teacher for HOURS every day, not only teaching technique but passing on the passion and love. RIP Eddie.

Hawkins' son also played drums on "My Hero". Was very touching.

I was very fortunate to see Wolfie in concert with Mammoth, they opened for Guns N Roses in Hershey Stadium, Hershey Pa. I had never really paid much attention to him but after that show I became a huge fan. I could not believe how amazing his voice was and his guitar playing was simply outstanding. His voice is incredible live.

Eddie was incredibly proud of Wolfy, he doted on Wolfy and went out of his way to let Wolfy know how much he loved him. Whenever you mentioned the boy, Eddie's face lit up. Wolf has released a great record but this was just the beginning. Wolfgang is going to continue to amaze us with his music and he will carry on his family's legacy. He's involved with running EVH products, bringing out a new hollow body guitar and a Bass Guitar as well. He has taken over 5150 Studios too. He's so much more than a good musician.

He’s the only person who actually sounded just like his dad. I mean, learning an EVH lick is one thing, but capturing his vibe is something else altogether, and Wolf has it.

You can see how Wolfgang lifted everyone's spirits around him. That is indeed a rare gift from above.
