Wolf Van Halen -- Distance
You Tube ^

Posted on 11/18/2020 7:36:56 PM PST by bigdaddy45

Yes, we hate vanities here (my apologies Mr. Robinson). But I know there are a lot of Van Halen fans that reside in the free republic.

Eddie's son Wolf just dropped a new song and video as a tribute to his dad. Wow. I did not expect to tear up at the end. A great song. The kid has talent.

A welcome respite from all the current craziness in the world.

Yeah. Nice tribute. Rest in Peace, Eddie. His stuff gets better and better with every listen.

"...Distance by Wolfie Van Halen..."


Good tune and excellent tribute to his father, the late great Eddie Van Halen.
Maybe a bit too long and repetitive, yet will let that part slide.
Wolfie seems truly devoted to his parents and they very clearly love him. Very nice to see.

Wolfgang, if you can see this, thank you for sharing that!

You really got me! And I mean that.

Wow, that's a terrific piece of modern rock-n-roll, with immense personal feeling. I thought that genre was defunct. Far from it.

Go Wolf. Keep up the flame.

Eddie, you were one of the greatest ever, but you're in good company now, so keep jammin'. Miss you, man.

It’s great good on Wolfy. The phone message at the end by EVH is pretty moving

Watching the home video segments of this, I couldn’t help laughing occasionally even while my eyes were getting misty. It seems despite his other personal failings, EVH took the time to be a good father.

WVH constantly refers to me, myself, and I, including every sentence in this tribute. It’s all about him.

An absolutely chilling ending. I wonder from when in time it was sent. Good song and though that is secondary to the obvious love and craftsmanship they shared, it should be comforting to all of us to remember those in our lives who helped us achieve and were there for our perils. Eddie was a legend but will live forever. Good job, Wolfie.

Thank you very much for posting this video. Very touching to watch, and really expanded my appreciation for Eddie. Hugely talented, and I’m happy that he built and maintained a lifelong close relationship with his son. RIP EVH
