Wolfgang Van Halen is asked a lot about Van Halen and if he would perform his late dad’s music in concert. In a recent interview posted on LoudWire.com, he was asked and said, “Absolutely not. If I do, I'd want it to be, like, really f***ing different. I wouldn't wanna just sit there and play 'Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love.' I'd wanna do a cool acoustic cover of 'Little Guitars' or— something different. I refuse to tread the same ground as my dad. I need to forge my own path.”
Wolfgang had played as the bassist in the band alongside his dad, Eddie Van Halen and uncle, Alex Van Halen, since their reunion tour in 2007.
