The host reminisces about the cultural significance of Van Halen's music from their youth and shares a humorous anecdote from a concert experience. The chapter also explores Wolfgang Van Halen's relationship with his father Eddie and his musical journey, featuring insights into his new album 'Mammoth II' and upcoming tour.
For Wolfgang Van Halen, learning the drums, guitar and bass came easier than learning to deal with the trolling and resentment he faced for being the son of Eddie Van Halen. Wolfgang tells Marc how touring as part of Van Halen taught him what to avoid in his career and helped him gain perspective on the type of music he wanted to make on his own. They also talk about the universal experience of grief and how Wolfgang has been able to move forward after the devastating loss of his dad.
