Wolfgang Van Halen has been working on his debut solo album for a few years now, teasing it for awhile including in a short video a little over a year ago. A fan on Twitter asked Wolfgang a question about the video, and he responded.
A fan named Mswanson300 asked:
“Great tone, Wolf. Are you on guitar and bass?”
Wolfgang responded:
“Hey thanks! Yes! Drums as well”
Mswanson300 tweeted:
“Damn, dude… that’s fantastic! The best part to me is despite all the work you’ve done with your dad and uncle, you’ve really got your own sound going on here.
I can hear the influences, but you’ve got your own “voice.” Keep up the great work and best of luck to ya.”
Wolfgang responded:
“Thank you! Very excited to get this stuff out there when the time is right ✌️”
Wolfgang Van Halen tweeted the following on December 31, 2018.
“If you you start playing Runnin With The Devil at 11:58:16, Dave will scream ‘GOD DAMMIT BABY YOU KNOW I AIN’T LYIN TO YA, I’M ONLY GONNA TELL YOU ONE TIIIIIIME AAAAHHHHHHHYUEAHHH!!!!’ at midnight. Start your new year off right.”
“I’ve been pretty quiet this year. I spent 2018 staying focused, working hard, and moving forward on something I’ve never been this excited about. I can’t wait to share it with y’all. Seeya in 2019 ✌️ #2018bestnine #HappyNewYear.”
In mid-December, Wolfgang trolled fans with a retirement announcement.
“Lol yup, I’m hanging it up. It’s been a long career, I think I’m done. Totally done. Great take, dude. TOTALLY just dead on! WOW! I don’t even THINK about music anymore. It’s just insane how correct you are. So correct. Like wow. So done. No more music for me. All done. Bye bye.”
“In case some people didn’t understand my last few tweets (which judging the bulk of the replies, many didn’t…) I’m not actually retired. It was sarcasm. SARCASM. Because it’s a ridiculous idea. What kind of asshole would I have to be if I retired at 27 years old? Ok goodnight.”
