What do you think of Wolfgang's musical career so far?

[pjrutledge]

He will never be Eddie. And he does not want to be. He loves music and will make his own way . They ALL loved Ed, and us fans should wish Wolfe well. Stop with the ugly! Sending love and understanding for a man who lost their Dad WAY to young!!!

[rogerdshrubber]

If you have haters. You’re on the right path. Be well

I have nothing but respect for Wolfgang. I admire the closeness between Wolfgang and Eddie. I will never forget exactly where I was when I heard that Eddie was dead on the radio. One of those things you never forget. Rock on Wolfgang. ☮️❤️🇺🇸

[greeneyesshow]

I know Eddie would be proud of Wolfgang!!!!

[Robin-xtyo]

People need to leave Wolf alone. Stop the criticism. He's been through a lot.

Wolf I'm 56 and I seen your father since his early days performing back in 1978 thru 1984. I think you were blessed to have him as a father. I also have PTSD about his passing. He was a huge part of my life and I never even got to meet him. You will probably never see this comment or respond to it. But thats ok. I wish you all the best in life and just know, we all miss him. Something was taken from this world that was a true blessing of our souls. I think even with all his struggles, he tried to make the world a joyful place and as bad as well can all be, he tried to make us better people through music to bring us together.

WVH just came up in my feed today so I watched a couple of his videos and I am over the top impressed with the talent this guy has! He's got a new fan here. I hope he can learn to shut out the losers. Any one who is famous deals with that unfortunately. And to all the people who commented on his weight - some of us like a big guy, he's very handsome! Best one man band I've ever heard.

It seems he has internalized the pain, like many of us.
Being sensitive and hopeful can take a toll in many cases.

You need to IGNORE THE IDIOTS. As hard as it is. You will never be your father. Because you are not your father. You are YOU! A kind, very talented musician who is loved by MANY. Your dad was also loved, very talented and had a smile to melt anyone’s heart. You were so lucky to have had him. And your mom. Many people on this earth will never know what it’s like to have the love you had from your parents. You were blessed. Don’t let the idiots and haters, and jealous people, ruin that for you. When you are having a hard day, talk to him. He is right there beside you.❤️

God bless him for the love of his Dad over the Love for Fame and music. That’s a True Man and a True Angel sent from Heaven. His Dad is in Heaven shining his love and guidance down on his EVERY Move. I’m sober and clean 8 plus years, lost my Whole family and over 30 people to addiction. I feel for him because I Lost everyone and everything. I ended up homeless. Keep being you Wolf. Your Amazing.

[StevenMiedke]

Hoping for the best for you in the future. I can't imagine how proud Eddie would be of you. So many that have famous family turn out like a hot mess. Keep grounded, keep your mom close & cherish the memories of your father. Keep up the good work Wolfie!

[thisislogout]

Stay up, Wolf! We who admire your dad also admire YOU for your courage and strength to address the sadness of losing Eddie. 🙏

[blueskysailing]

[sherryhudson]

Don’t ever listen to the haters out there, Wolf! They don’t know you, ..you don’t owe anybody a dam thing! You are loved out here….I dig you, man!❤

[arfriedman]

I think Wolfgang is doing as best as he can.

People need to let Wolfgang be himself and not compare him to his dad.

I don't know much about Wolfgang.

[dannabanana]

Wolfie if you see this we love you. I remember you as a kid, and you don’t have to be your dad. If you love music, keep going, if you want to do something different then by all means do it!

[Gizmo]

Eddie was also in a time and place for his magic to be spotlighted. Perfect timing and greatness is a rare thing

[fvollmer]

Wolf, I'm a 50 something that has NO animosity towards you AT ALL for jamming with your father. And I mourn your dad's loss as well. BUT PLEASE!!!! Take care of yourself and your own health. Love ya buddy... and keep on rocking!!!
