Wolfgang's Rickroll: Mammoth's April Fool's Prank

0:00On April 2nd, Wolfgang Van Halen pulled off the perfect April Fools prank last night at Mammoth's show in Cincinnati. He teased the crowd about finally playing a Van Halen track, he'd sworn he'd never touch, building hype with the social media clip saying you won't. Believe what he played. Fans were on the edge of their seats as he told the audience, never say never, and kept it, our little secret. Then boom, the band launched into Rick Astley's, never gonna give you up, a straight up rickroll instead of anything from his dad's catalog. You could hear an overexcited fan yelling, yeah in the background, capturing that raw energy. Wolfgang has been firm about not leaning on Van Halen hits since starting Mammoth in late 2020, even after playing bass for his dad's reunion. Tours from 2006 to 2015. He's pushing his own sound now, touring the US behind their latest album, The End. No Panama or old school jams, just fresh riffs and this epic troll to keep things fun. Catch Mammoth on the road if you're near one of their dates, and keep an eye out for more surprises from Wolfgang as he carves his path.
