I HATE Floyd Roses. Had a genuine U.S. made Floyd Rose (not a Floyd Rose license built) on my B.C. Rich ST and it kept pulling and biting into the body so that the mounting studs ended up about 1/8 inch from where they started. Of couse with it constantly moving it was impossible keep intonation. Fixed it once and eventually swapped it out for a Kahler which hasn't given me a problem since.
Wow! This guy screams better than DLR did live. At least the times that I saw them anyway. Fantastic! SG sounds pretty good too with the brown sound going on. I think Eddie used an SG on a few tunes in the early years on a few of the recorded songs. I think I read that somewhere.
Sometimes grooves are worn in the locking nut clamps (G string was going out of tune in this case) and it might temporarily work to swap the D & G clamp with the E & A clamp.
what if this band fired theyre roth cover guy and picked up a sammy hagar cover guy then go into the toilet and pick back up with a gary cherone guy. then get sammy back.....then a gary chernone guy then etc. we could re-live the vh saga lmao.
Funny thing is they do have a Haggar version of this band called 5150. Same musicians. Sadly, this band doesn't have the same front man. New guy isn't bad, just not THIS good.
Fuck yeah the punks were the best.They bite now. without ralph and russ its just not that good. Metal skool or is it steel panther is pretty funny. We got it all out here in L.A.
I've seen these guys live in Hollywood, and I gotta tell ya, that dude IS David Lee Roth! The look, the voice, the mannerisms, the attitude....it's all there. This is the best tribute band by far, in a sea of very mediocre ones. Really the only one to watch as far as I'm concerned.
Nothing against "Copy Bands", and I've seen different one's live, and liked it, but it just shows that real rocknroll ended in the early 80's, unless you were into the more "Metal Style" bands.
I love this so much I had to comment twice.. He is the only singer that can imitate diamond dave almost perfectly and doesn't sound liek a complete retard when he sings panama.
thats old skool!

0.o damn he has some pipes. Give Dave a run for his money now and days. But then again, he hasn't had years of drug and alcohol abuse :V

Wow!! Incredible!!
The singer rocks just as Dave did in old days.
If Dave leaves Van Halen again, they should hire him like Journey did!!
The band's performance is very close to the original and great!!
