Wolfgang Van Halen is not ruling out getting heavier, he is simply not there but. In a brand new chat with Australia’s Everblack podcast, Wolfgang Van Halen opened up in regards to the concept of launching a heavy aspect mission and why he isn’t simply diving in headfirst despite loving heavier music.
“If it was one thing like that, I might most likely wanna simply play drums or one thing,” he stated, casually, “simply have the ability to deal with one factor.” Proper now although, Wolfgang‘s all-in on proving himself by way of Mammoth. “I really feel like I have not confirmed myself sufficient as my very own type of musician but,” he defined. “That is why I am nonetheless type of drilling with Mammoth and simply having fun with that.”
That stated, do not depend him out on the subject of future chaos: “I might positively see myself down the road being like, ‘Hey, let’s take a break and do one thing loopy.’ So who is aware of?”
Because it seems, “loopy” may already be brewing on the tour bus. Wolfgang revealed that he and stay guitarist Jonathan Jourdan have been dabbling in some very non-Mammoth territory: “We had been making these random Meshuggah-y demos only for enjoyable to fill the time,” he laughed. “We had been attempting to make these djenty rhythms the place we had been counting numbers out — random stuff that was simply enjoyable.”
And whereas he isn’t quick on his personal inventive shops, Wolfgang is not shy about dream collaborations both. Particularly with a member of Software.
“After doing the Rock Corridor factor for Ozzy, I hit it off with Maynard [James Keenan, Tool], which is type of loopy ‘trigger he is considered one of my favourite singers of all time,” Wolfgang revealed. “Software was an important band to me. So the chance to work with Maynard — I believe that might be actually fucking cool. I might be into that, if he was into it.”
And if that is not formidable sufficient, Wolfgang has a wild concept that includes the multi-instrumental dream workforce of Foo Fighters drummer Ilan Rubin: “Ilan has his personal band the place he performs every part. Dave can play every part. So I assumed it might be a enjoyable concept if the three of us did one thing and performed a distinct factor on each tune,” he stated. “That’d be a enjoyable concept.”
