Because his dad was a phenomenal guitarist with a gigantic ego who, along with his brother, managed to run off so many solid musicians and carve out a niche so the nepotism could carry on? Wolfgang is an average AT BEST musician, but got constantly elevated because dad and uncle Alex and mom Valerie constantly screeching about 'her Wolfie!!' what they did to Michael Anthony alone is unmitigated evil, and all to give this kid his spot. And now we have things like this because his father died due to the heaps of abuse he inflicted upon himself. There's far more worthy musicians in the world that a lot of people would enjoy a thorough episode on- Jon Bonham, and his son who has talent that's evident would be a great episode. Neil Peart? The man who was largely hidden behind his kit but is arguably one of the best drummers in all of rock yet no one knew much about and his band mates are still around to fill in the blanks. Just two excellent people to highlight and shine a much needed spotlight on this level of incredible talent rather than someone insisting on riding other's coattails, despite his feigned indifference to the contrary. This show has sunken so far from where it once was- and the ridiculous levels of forced racism/bigotry/sexism/etc are just unbelievable.

Wow! I have seen Van Halen 12 times, just got Sammy's autograph last month on the 70S ROCK LEGENDS CRUISE. I've read all their books and bought all their albums.
Insights of this show were amazing, stuff I have never heard before. Wolfie and Valerie giving back stage, in their house, on stage. Just amazing stuff. Wolfie and Valerie break down several times and tell secrets. Wolfie ends with a moment by moment of his Dad's death .. wow .. tearing up just thinking about it. Lots of details revealed. You have to watch this. Just amazing stuff with some great performances too. I highly recommend it.
