Wolfgang Van Halen - Mammoth WVH: Distance (Official Music Video)

“As my pop continued to struggle with various health issues, I was imagining what my life would be like without him and how terribly I’d miss him. While the song is incredibly personal, I think anyone can relate to the idea of having a profound loss in their life. I never intended ‘Distance’ to be the very first piece of music people would hear from me, but I also thought my father would be here to celebrate its release. This is for him. I love and miss you, Pop.” - WVH

Proceeds from “Distance” will be donated to Pop’s favorite charity, Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation

Every child deserves a father like this.

[vincentolson]

Wolfgang, I am 62 years old. I grew up listening to your father and his band. Anybody that puts you down is a jealous booger eater don't listen to him bro, Rock on.

[anthonysilva]

We call him guitar hero, rock god, legend.
He calls him dad.

[kirkjambazian]

Hey there Wolfgang I'm Michael Stillman's son our dad's were close friends for many years, and it hit him really hard when Eddie passed, and unfortunately Mike also passed away at home in the Sierra Madre house up top the canyon there, on 12-4-2023 I know they stayed in touch with each other for for many years and he cherished there friendship, condolences man for our pop's, I hope there still Rockn together ❤️ ❤

I’m trying to hide from my wife because I’m over here ugly crying while watching a YouTube video. As a father and a musician this hit me hard. You made an amazing tribute to an amazing father.
In the next room my 6 year old son and 3 year old daughter are asleep for the night and I just can’t wait until the morning so I can give them the biggest hug and tell them again how much I love them.
Thank you.

Not only are you your own artist, you are your own man. Your father is smiling down on you. Well done. RIP Eddie.

[MK]

Wow! The ending with Eddie’s voice from a voicemail can really choke up a grown man. 👍🏻👍🏻

We all lost a hero, but Wolfgang lost his dad. The two don't even compare.

Back in the late 90s Eddie used to come into a electronics store I worked at called The Good Guys. Sometimes he would bring Wolfgang. Eddie was always so cool to everyone. One time we were talking and i told him about my music and he gave me his home phone number. He told me to call him sometime to come up and do music. I was floored. I called a week later and we talked for an hour...but not about music. About personal stuff...life...he told me of his cancer. I called again a week later and we talked an hour again about life and stuff. My old brain is so fuzzy I wish I could remember more about those conversations. It was a great experience.

Eddie in heaven: "Hey...have you heard my kids song?!" What a beautiful tribute.

[dopeshows]

This man is more grounded and mature than every single person who throws shade at him

[jondeak]

For all the guys out there wondering....this is what a real father looks like. And the greatest thing is that Wolfgang didn’t take him for granted. Thank you for the beautiful video.

[NicoleAZ]

I’m in tears. I feel this so deeply since I lost my mom. No pain is worse than losing your best friend. RIP Ed.

[fairebianca]

The greatest gift Ed gave Wolf was his time. How many kids wish that their father would spend time with them? And props to Ed for expressing in words how proud he was of Wolf, and how much he loved him. Mad respect for Edward Van Halen.

[davidnissim]

Eddie wasn’t just a great guitar player, he was also a great dad. He’s sorely missed.

[dragonforce]

A very powerful songs and video. Thank you 💜 - Herman Li

[Pharaoh]

Huge Van Halen fan but MASSIVE Wolf fan. I’m 53 and recently discovered my life isn’t going to be as long as I thought. Blessed to have been here for my grandaughter and to have two incredible children. So sorry you lost your Dad Wolf, I’m sure he left you with love for a lifetime. This song means more each moment🙏💔

[kimveith]

I'm not crying, your crying. Let's be honest all of us are crying. R.I.P EVH

[dago_enfuego]

While Wolfgang is navigating his own personal grieving process, he releases music which is helping others to heal. This is a good man. Talented beyond words.

[johnbhumphrey]

There could not have been a better tribute to his dad, RIP EVH.
