It was during Wolfgang Van Halen’s performance at the state-side Taylor Hawkins Tribute show, that he proved to the masses (and to himself) that the olympic-style, guitar wizardry of his dad, Eddie, will live on…with one on-looker commenting from the side of the stage, “He sounds exactly like Eddie!”
Wolfie, himself, had doubts about his skills and the gig, bust pushed ahead with an encouraging Dave Grohl to help.
Wolfgang said, “I thought a lot about it and I was like, ‘You know what? If there was ever a time, this is it,'” he explained. “I talked to him about it and I was just honest. I was like, ‘I don’t know if I could do this, but if I do, I need your support. I need you up there with me.’ I was like, ‘Whatever the incarnation of what it becomes, I need you there with me,’ and he was like, ‘Absolutely.’”
