00:00 --Hello! Wolfgang Van Halen. Thank you for chatting with us.
00:04 --Thanks for having me. --So it's a very exclusive night. A lot of people would do a lot of
00:07 things to be in the room that you're about to go in and you're performing. So
00:10 can you tell us, give us a little sneak peek of what you're gonna do in there?
00:14 --I think you'll have a nice day by the time we're done. I'm sorry that was bad.
00:19 --I think we picked up what you're putting down though. Okay, amazing. So you're
00:23 obviously very established in your career. It's Grammy's weekend. Best new
00:27 artist, big category. What kind of advice would you give to a young artist who's
00:31 just kind of at the start of this journey?
00:34 --You gotta make sure you love it because there's a lot of stuff that tries to
00:39 challenge that through the process. So as long as you love it, that's all that
00:44 really matters. There's nothing better than music, so.
00:47 --Good advice. What song did you listen to on the way here?
00:50 --I've still been listening to the song we're gonna be playing because I want to
00:53 make sure I don't mess it up.
00:55 --Have a nice day. Yeah, okay got it.
00:57 --And who are you rooting for at the Grammy's this year?
01:00 --Foo Fighters. But it's tough because I love Metallica too, so I kind of I'm
01:06 gonna be happy and upset either way.
01:09 --What a dilemma.
