I know Ed was a "tone chaser"...but why'd he moce away from this? You FOUnD the tone, brotha lol. Not a huge fan of thar thoaty stuck wah pedal thing that followed after '96...thinking it had something to do with upper register hearing loss and nobody ballsy enough to tell him!
Alex is a BEAST behind that kit!!! What a waste of time these guys took up arguing and fighting. The brothers pulled some horrible shit on Mikey. The dude was loyal, kept his shit square and he is a great bass player with thosebackground vocals that made Van Halen so unique and special.
This was the period of time where Al looked like he was a foreman for a paint crew during the day, then rushed home and cleaned up for band practice. LoL
...because at the end of the day he is a regular guy. he has nothing to prove and he never seemd like a guy that was full of himself.see the way he is hurrying to get his head phones swapped out/ he could have took his sweet ass time and made the band and everyone else wait but he didn't. he didn't want to miss out of the fun and make people wait and kill the vibe they have going on.that says a lot of eddie.
@@kevsta67 yeah.... I know that., I think you mY have taken something that was tongue and cheek humor as a serious comment... Sorry that I wasn't more clear with my comment being a joke. I have in the past when I was playing heavily in bands opened for alot of popular national acts in the north east. And yes they all are just normal people who happen to have really cool jobs.
It's not terribly hard to cop... it's a Ludwig LM-402 with a coated black dot. Sounds like that out of the box. I've got one. It's also the famous "Bonham Snare" as well.
Man!!!! That was awesome,,,,,smoking hot ,,, set it blew me away,,, to see to see Ed and Sam drinking out of the same bottle!!!! Music is for all!!!!!!
And the rest of us with monetized channels are wondering where in the hell this video orignally came from..... (so we could have posted it, and made $$$$$$$)
Wish Sammy’s vocals could have been heard better here. Just to be there watching these iconic members of Van Halen must have been a dream come true. What a life that must have been working as part of the Van Halen crew back in the 80s and 90s
Damn. So amazing. And extra kudos to Michael Anthony playing Entwistle lines. Ed so missed so fantastic even with broken headphones, and playing the Who keyboard lines on guitar ha. Alex dead on as always. And Sammy - good lord one of the best that can do it live and raw. Love when awesome singers warn you they might not do well then “Yeahhhhhhh!!!” Ha
man those guys ,every one of them,really were on top of the world.....in their personal lives ,and musically.....wow.i saw them many times.saw dave az well.....but all of them were so tallented and destined for rock infamy.rock history.what a mark they made on the planet.
Sammy recently said to Mick Jones that he couldn't sing DREAMS today nowhere near as high as he did back in the 80s. Mick Jones of Foreigner actually got that performance out of him (in the studio) when he produced their album at the time. 7:45
the who cover is way way better that the who ever was.i like a couple of who songs but really disliked borderline hated to hear them ever come on the radio.
Damn Ed on Guitar and Sammy on vocals...to masters of their instruments... yeah we dont have a synthesizer so Ed just does it on guitar and it sounds amazing 🤣
I agree, but there will always be disagreement from the DLR camp. He was an excellent front man, but Sammy is clearly the better singer. Some people will always choose pizza over steak, and some will always take steak over pizza.
