Dweezil is just as talented as his dad, no matter the name.

Would you say the same about Wolfgang Van Halen?

He might be able to duplicate his dad's playing, but Frank was much more than that.

Watching Dweezil play live (Zappa Plays Zappa) was astonishing. He was laying down these intricate licks, and made it look SOOO easy!

Wolfgang is a perfectly normal name. It’s not made up nonsense like “Dweezil” is.

I listened to Wolfgang’s first cut from his solo album.

He doesn’t try to be a virtuoso but he is a much more emotional and soulful - ‘honest’ is the word that comes to mind - singer than either Sammy or David Lee. Of course the song is a tribute to his dad.

Every interview with Wolfgang that I have read he comes across as much more mature than his 20 something years and more of an introspective adult than most rockers since Mr. Zappa.
