Valerie Bertinelli continues to support her son Wolfgang Van Halen and his work with his band, Mammoth VH.
Last week, she shared a photo on her @wolfiesmomInstagram account from the set of the band’s new video for the song “The End,” in which she makes a cameo along with a few other celebs, including Danny Trejo, who is pictured with the pair.

“What an amazing experience. The video for The End @mammothwvh is out now. The song is streaming everywhere I couldn’t be prouder,” she wrote in the caption.
Along with Bertinelli and Trejo, the video also includes cameos by rockers Myles Kennedy and Slash, Wolfgang’s wife Andraia Van Halen and others, and was directed by Robert Rodriquez (known for From Dusk to Dawn, El Mariachi, Machete and more) and makeup artist Greg Nicotero.
The clip has subtle throwbacks to Michael Jackson’s iconic “Thriller” video, Wolfgang’s late father Eddie Van Halen, as well as some of Rodriguez’s films. It begins with a quote from Jackson before Trejo’s character warns Mammoth VH not to play too loud because his customers at the club are “sensitive to loud noises.” The band fails to heed that advice and the audience soon turns into a variety of werewolves, vampires and zombies as Wolfgang and company rip through the tune.
Fans left praise for the clip in the comments on YouTube.
“walking towards the camera on the table, just like dad. Epic,” wrote one, while another added, “Danny Trejo and Slash in a Mammoth video?!?! HELL YEAH!”
“Valerie throwing punches while Slash just chills was perfect,” another added, while yet another wrote, “The Force runs strong in the Van Halen family.”
