Multi-InstrugueList Wolfgang Van Halen UNLEASHES SOME OF HIS MOST Virtuosic Guitar Parts Yet On “The End,” The New Single From His One-Man Band, Wolfgang Wvh-Which Arrivies Along with an elaborate, Robert Rodriguez-Diretted Video Where He Plays for Audience Packed with with with Vampires, Zombies, and, for Some Reason, Slash.
The Song Kicks off with a Two-Handed Tapping Riff that Inevitably Evokes Wolfgang's Dad, The Late Eddie Van Halen. In a statement, he explained he Came Up with that part years before he conceived of his band. “I was able to fit it into this world,” Wolfgang Said. “It's Still Over-The-Top and Shreddy, But it's Also Melodic and Controlled. Overall, I Was Doing Some Different Things on the Record, and I Knew This Was Going To Be a Big Step. Once we finished 'The End,' It Felt Really Special To Me.” His bass part is nearly as flashy as the guitars, full with flea-style slapping.
The video is loosel inspired by Rodriguez's 1996 Classic From Dusk Till Dawnwith Danny Trejo Reprise His Role As a Bouncer – Wolfgang's Mom, Valerie Bertinelli, Also Has A Cameo. The Video Nods Twice to Michael Jackson's Video for “Thriller,” Which Happens to Be the Title Track of an album Eddie Played On.
