Such Talent. I don't understand why fans of VH give him so much crap. He's not his Dad, never said he was his Dad and he's forging his own path. I hope he has a long and successful career.

This kid is incredible. Bet Dad is full of smiles looking down.

[conniescher]

He’s such a polite and well spoken young man. It’s obvious he was raised by wonderful parents.

[ConnorTVofficial]

Great performance Wolfgang! Dad’s proud.

[bobloblaw]

Holy cow, I didn't know he could sing and he's pretty darn good!

For me it is IMPOSSIBLE to listen to DISTANCE and with Wolfgang without crying....there is a lot of emotion, passion and a bit of sadness what a wonderful tribute to EVH!!

This took me straight back to the early 90s. This is a song for everyone who's ever lost someone. Ya done good, Wolf.

God Bless the Van Halen Family. Nothing but love!

Wolfie is a perfect blend of both Valerie and Eddie. So talented. I wish him all the best.

This young man is something else...most would be hiding under a rock somewhere after all that happened...stay calm and rock on brother 🤘

[GLING]

Wolfgang has one of the best voices I’ve ever heard and his musical talent is astounding! Wishing him all the best in life. I’ll be a fan for life. ❤️

He didn't have to ride his dad's coattails. He got where he is on his own talent. Fantastic song, vocals, love everything about it. Thanks so much for this and the album! Love it!

[MrStratus]

He's got a shine, all of his own...

[krkhns]

I'll be honest - I like this version better. Being all acoustic fits the mood and tone of the song far better.

As a person who has also loss my dad, this song hits deep, I’m grateful for Wolfgang sharing this with the world. You never stop missing them...😔💔😢 I felt the sadness today for my dad, pretty deeply. Rest In Peace always Eddie Van Halen.💫🙏🏾💫

Growing up everything VH I still tear up thinking EVH is no longer with us. This song is a tremendous honor to his legacy through WVH. Thanks Wolf🙏

[annafringetree]

Beautiful song, brings tears. I understand Wolfie’s pain. I lost my father this past Christmas morning. Valerie & Eddie raised an amazing young man.

[canadiangirl]

My 19 year old son who has been struggling with social anxiety and depression the past few years absolutely loved this song! I’m a huge fan of both your parents and so naturally I was interested in what you had to offer. I think you will have fans from Van Halen as well as ones who just admire you for your own contribution to the music world. I know we are! 😊

[SaltwaterMom]

Beautiful tribute, such a talent in his own right!

[charlesflournoy]

Love that kid. I wish him all the success and happiness in the world.
