Was at the PNC it was a delight. Joe captured the sound and speed. Several times I closed my eyes and it was EVH. Thank you Joe and Sammy. What a great time.
Me and my friends saw them in Toronto a couple of weeks ago. In my humble opinion, Joe Satriani was the only guitar player that could pull this off, as I was a big fan of his back in the 80s into the early 90s! Quite frankly, with the opening band being loverboy, which was amazing, I’m taking my other best friend down to Cincinnati to see them at the end of August! It was the best concert I have ever been to, Baron, and I’ve been to a shit ton of concerts !
@@tedcabana or in their “own” style. The heart and soul of VH is there. The interpretation is up to the individual. That being said, Satch is the only guitarist alive who is up to the task. We are blessed to have this dude around.
Freakin' love this song! I always love Sammy's vocals, I enjoy seeing his friendship with Michael Anthony on stage, I love seeing Joe working hard to pay tribute to one of the greatest guitarists ever, and I like seeing Jason as the backbone for them in this moment.
I hate the way people throw that term around - under-rated. But I think in this case... I would have to agree with you. This song has aged so well. It's an awesome classic, and a deeper cut in the catalogue. That's for sure. I love this song. They rocked it!
@@jimmyz2098 I think the song 5150 is underrated because in my opinion it is one of their best songs and it does not get as much radio play as a lot of their other songs.
Wanting some guitar dude that sits in his basement all day playing Mean Streets note for note…in 10 years that dude will still be a no name in his basement playing that lol!!! I was worried about Satch but he’s captured the feel of a VH song while still not losing what makes him a guitar great himself. Solid Band with Sammy that being a VH Lifer I do enjoy listening to this music again & these are the guys who do it well.
Seems like Joe learned those VH songs by ear and I like it that way, since they are not 100 or even 99 percent representing the original but that’s ok and a profound guitarist like him is allowed to make it his own representation. Loving this tour so far.
Nice to have Ban Halen Continue!!! This we need to bring the world some happiness … RIP EDDIE….Great that they got Joe and John …, all stars to join the all stars!!!
I’m 64 now myself & have been listening to & following Sammy & Joe’s musical careers for many decades . Seeing this band’s lineup along with Michael Anthony is pure magic . Well done guys . Even the Drummer is killing it here with them .
You don't feel it's cheating to post a stupid cellphone recording ? Wow .... The audio is not what the engineers intended . The venues selling tickets to this nonsense .
I tell ya Gen X made some bad ass rock n roll for the ages. We may be a little older and grayer but we had the time of our lives. I think the last generation that can confidently say that
I think Satch is a steller godly guitarist. I'm so happy these guys are doing this. I went to atlanta show. Loved it. With that being said, not sure why Satch playing 5159 riff sounds like he misses a few notes? Is it hand placement? Attack? Many on RU-vid dedicate their time to mimicking Eddie and I think Satch had a stopping point at mimicking Eddie. I get it. But what is it about this type of riff that is so signature to Eddie? It's the shape of his hand or the way his fingernail buzzes the string?? Also, jason is kick ass. One of my faves. He seems to avoid Alex's complexity. The tom fills, the double bass. Not sure why. I know he isn't trying to perfectly replicate Alex. But you'd think he'd match the complex parts and then "one up" Alex's parts with his modern improved take on it? He seems to go backwards in style. No offense. I do think he tried to get that snare sound and does a good job. I love his mega chrome kit. I totally loved Jason's album "disregard for timekeeping" in 1989. I memorized and played that album. I loved his drum sound. So pure. Also, it seems on songs like 5150 they end some sections early. Sort of strange. I think of Satriani as en expert and guitar teacher with technical ability in all styles where Eddie was only about being Eddie. I think Satch would beat Eddie in a guitar college course but Eddie wins in innovation of inventing the style there created Satch.
Besides Eddie who was and always will be the coolest cat on the planet 🌎 Joe Satriani is imo one the few (as in maybe 3) that could take on this position in VH. His solo in “right now” is spot on every time he plays it. 💯🔥👊
I think its partly because joe has the open d string going on that d chord inversion. Ed didnt finger it that way, ed still had the 5th (a note) of the chord fingered on the d string rather than leaving it open. I noticed on the howard stern performance thats how joe was doing it He’s definitely fingering that D chord differently than how eddie does, and i think there might be a few notes missing in that intro. In all honesty i could give a shit because the last time any vh fans heard this was probably in 1993 on the European tour.
Satriani is an all time virtuoso, fantastic. Edward Van Halen had a rhythmic sense unequaled in the history rock guitar. The notes are there, but the inside feel is not. Still great!
The rhythmic feel wasnt there when vai and greg bisonette were doing vh with diamond dave. The interplay and groove that ed and alex possessed isn’t something thats easily obtainable
Why? Roth was playing maracas on romeo delight and tambourine on so this is love during the 2007 tour so what’s the big deal. He’s providing help with backing vocals too for sam & mike so it would be kind of stupid to get rid of him.
Hagar saved by Michaels voice ;) And they're out there making money out of Van Halen and Led Zeppelin like Glenn Hughes with Deep Purple. Small artists in a big world ;)
