Wolfgang Van Halen says Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl is an inspiration, due to his infallible lust for music.

In a new interview, Wolfie explained, “It’s important to love what you do. Hanging with Grohl, he just loves music, he has such a respect towards music in general and to everybody who partakes in it. It’s just fun to see that untainted love, where other bulls**t doesn’t get in the way.”

He also said, “Dave Grohl is who I want to be when I grow up… and I’m 33. I guess I’m not grown up yet. Everything I did on my first album on Mammoth WVH, I played everything on it, just like he did on the first Foo Fighters album and so he’s always been an endless inspiration.”
