22 The Continuing Adventures of Wolf
and Elvis: Recording Mammoth WVH, and
the tale of 'Stone'
After multiple albums and tours playing bass
with Tremonti and Van Halen (the family
business, you might say), Wolfgang Van Halen
brings us Mammoth WVH. Five years in the
making, this inaugural solo outing features
heavy guitars, melodic hooks, thundering
rhythms and harmonious vocals, every note
played and sung by Wolf and Wolf alone. We
sit down with Wolfgang and producer Michael
'Elvis' Baskette to discover how it all went down.
