But he\u00a0says getting to see\u00a0Wolfgang and his band <strong>Mammoth WVH<\/strong> when\u00a0they played the House of Blues in Las Vegas in 2023 helped heal some issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI went to the show as his guest.

The way I kind of feel is that Wolfgang probably wasn&#8217;t excited, really, about being in Van Halen,\u201d he says. \u201cThat&#8217;s why in his band, he doesn&#8217;t play any Van Halen, &#8217;cause he wants to carve out his own niche. But just to be able to get up and play with his father, I can totally understand that.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">He adds, &#8220;But no, I love Wolfie, man. I hadn&#8217;t seen him in, like, 20 years. I went to the show, it was great. We had a great time, great hangout.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024, ABC Audio.
