Tracking the slap part of THE END. Fun fact, I recorded the main tapping of the song, and the slap part with the Frankenstein! Makes me feel closer to Pop that such an important part of his history can live with mine every time I record ❤️ - ThreadSky

Awesome, man! 🤘🏼
I’ll be seeing you this Saturday, looking forward to rockin’ out!

I just heard the song for the 1st time on the way home from work today and knew it was you as soon as I heard the guitar. My first thought was how amazing it is that you got so much talent from your dad.

That is awesome!

One of my favorite things he did was screwing in that quarter to keep the bridge flat so he could go to drop without throwing off the rest of the strings. nice rhythm

odpirateguy.bsky.social•2 days ago

I can see the grin on your dad's face from here, mate.
Bright as the sun with you slapping that ax!!
Whoooot!! ✌🏽🤟🏽
🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

Really reminds me of Mutoid Man with a little extra pizzazz https://youtu.be/wdQFzJIG-dU?si=a-MciR7PXDXIV5zA&t=41

Sounds great, Wolf. I grew up listening to you Pop, loving his sound. You're making him proud!

Thanks so much for sharing this. Really made me smile. Miss your dad too. Met him once - he was so sweet and kind.

Way cool! Loved it and loved your latest vid w/the monsters! The slap reminded me of Roy Clark pulling at the strings (2:18) during his version of Malagueña! https://youtu.be/-xssnp7R51A?si=Q5PA-XLuEk1J-4pu

I'm a pickin'!
And I'm a grinnin'!
Roy was known as a country star, but his love of the guitar took him everywhere.

That ol’ boy could pick!

I remember watching an interview and Q&A show featuring your dad. When asked what living or dead music legend inspired him and who would he most like to jam with, he said, "my dad." I loved that so much.

brittanybarnes.bsky.social•2 days ago

You got it from your dad. He will always be proud of you, Wolf.

cuyler41.bsky.social•2 days ago

A very cool way to stay connected to your Dad and it sounds incredible! Great tune.

Love the video! Looks like El Slasho is el brujo behind it all!

bed52.bsky.social•2 days ago

He would be so proud

chrispysaid.bsky.social•2 days ago

a producer of mine once told me "only do the cool thing once. make them want to rewind and listen to it again."

now I try not to let a cool part wear out its welcome

jwmahm.bsky.social•2 days ago

Nice!
Side note I have always loved that guitar. Like #1 all time.

theguy9900.bsky.social•2 days ago

Bro, just seeing that guitar takes me back. You're great.

ralitza.bsky.social•2 days ago

As he said, "goedkoper en beter". Better, for sure.

russdibello.bsky.social•2 days ago

That did not in any way suck!😎You are great evidence that one can actually teach one's genes to pass down stuff like talent!

tree-05.bsky.social•2 days ago

Totally awesome Wolfie!!!
I'm still kicking myself in the ass for not taking an opportunity to see VH live back in the 70s.

mimijones58.bsky.social•2 days ago

How proud he must have been to watch your talent be so huge.

sixstringsamurai72.bsky.social•2 days ago

Extremely cool, man.

Very cool that the old girl is still rockin’.

indolencia.bsky.social•2 days ago

I let my 6 year old listen to this and then I told him this dude's grandma was Indonesian. He was fully shook

savagelizard.bsky.social•2 days ago

Super fucking cool! Not because your dad is Eddie Van Halen, but because you love your dad, miss him, and have a cool way to connect with him. Lost my dad a couple years ago and miss him every day, so I dig this!

gordonhighland.com•2 days ago

So much soul imbued in that instrument; I love to see you keeping it alive!

Thanks for being you Wolfie. We got to see your dad be one of the greatest guitarists. Now we get to see Wolfgang Van Halen be the best he can be at everything. I love your music and acting skills. It must be hard being a gift to the world. But you do it so well. Thank you.

Tell your mom I said hello. I grew up on her tv show "one day at a time." My sister loved the show and made me watch it every time with her.
