When you talk about ‘dad-rock’ with Wolfgang Van Halen, it has a totally different meaning. The son of the late, legendary guitarist Eddie Van Halen can still recall getting his first paternal music lesson at age of nine. “The first song I ever learned how to play on the drums was he says. “That’s how my dad taught me to play drums. He put magazines on a table and was like: ‘Here’s the hi-hat, here’s the snare.…’” By age 15, Wolf was touring as bassist/vocalist with Van Halen, and in 2015 heWolf is looking ahead to a headlining world tour and also opening shows for Slash, Foo Fighters and Metallica. “My whole year is planned out for me already, in the best way,” he says.
