New Van Halen Original Tribute song - "Hold Everything"

[OzzyVanHalen]

Definitely sounds like vintage VH! I especially like the harmonies and guitar sound at 1:50

[tonyksmith]

When I first heard this... I TRULY thought it was a new VH song until the guitar solo. Then I KNEW it was not. However, let me give you guys some serious kudos for making my heart skip a beat like classic DLR Van Halen DID! Awesome tunage!

[Bretster2010]

This Riff is as Beastly as Unchained. A hit for VH. They should consider it as a single and give you guys the credit you deserve, but from what I hear, Eddie isn't so hip to co authoring, Who knows? but damn good tune, I have played it many times.

[Bretster2010]

@realitywakeupslap One does have to be careful about this sort of thing for sure, but the author does mention tribute in the Title, so to use the word Parasitic may be a little harsh. Given the fact it's on youtube and others know about it, it's highly unlikely that VH would express interest in it now unfortunately, even as a single. I think it would be a hit for them personally and think the authors should not only re title, but maybe pull it temporarily and talk with VH rep.

[WBYMAG]

wow

great riff guys!!!!!

good tune...

[atomicfriendo]

I'm stealing this....:)-~

[blachloch1]

Sounds great!

[Bretster2010]

So this isn't some VH demo? cuz damn man, this is a killer tune and VH would have or "Should have" used it on their latest album. I love it! "

[joe10864336]

Wuooaauuu!!



[motleycrue24]

that riff is beast...great great job guys

[pzedit]

@godspeedmusic don't apologize to realitywakeupslap. you did nothing wrong. i understood what you meant by original tribute song. it meant you have created a song (amazing at that) in the vh style as a tribute for them. if realitywakeupslap is a mental cripple and has a problem correlating your title and the song, that is on him/her.

to call you a bit parasitic is ridiculous. next time, don't submit a comment.

[falquest]

This is one of my fave new =VH= tunes ... LOL ... seriously, this pounds! Curious, what and WHERE is that giant Frankenstein monument???

[godspeedmusic]

@falquest Awesome! Thanks...This Frankenstrat Monument is at the Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood.

[MrSinik]

This sounds awesome on stereo wich is connected to the web 60 watts @ channel tube to klipsch LaScalas ...!!! WEEEEEEEE the sound is very nice ! ! !

[bocephus27]

This absolutely AWESOME! For a "Tribute" singer you fooled everyone with your David Lee vocal cords!!!!

[godspeedmusic]

@bocephus27 HaHa...You're Awesome!

[blachloch1]

@godspeedmusic So what is the name of your band? I'd buy a cd and check it our for sure based on this song. Better than the crap they put out today by far.

[Ttrixter49]

I admire CPA, but I can only imagine how Eddie's lead playing would sound with this. I still think the new VH album rocks and does sound like old school VH. Maybe VH will hear this and have the guys play the tune live

[mustangdanoracing]

Sounds great!!!

[Ttrixter49]

I would love to here this song with Wolf on bass.

[knucklerama]

WOW! When do you start touring? I'm in!!!!!!

[grinder2ful]

HOLY GODSPEED!!!!! Incredible you sound more like them then they do.HEEHEEHEE

[roblarosa]

As a lifetime VH fan, I gotta say that you'e captured the vibe of VH while making it your own at the same time. Good stuff. I'd definitely buy an album full of songs like this.

[godspeedmusic]

@roblarosa Wow!...thanks for the positive feedback...who knows maybe a full album is in order? J

[nymike06]

@roblarosa I agree. This is good stuff. I would even think that deep down VH would like this and not take it as a ripoff. If anything, it captures the spirit of VH for VH fans.

[godspeedmusic]

@nymike06 awesome! that's the goal!

[alwaysbeencrazy]

Hat's off...good vibe!

[mrrubiks501]

damn this is good stuff.

[VanHalenRocks100]

About 46 seconds in I forgot this wasn't really Van Halen. You did a phenom job.

[skadel3]

Wow - better than the two tracks (so far) from VH's new album... Amazing!

[julesken]

smokin!



[Gitman1746]

 At 2:47 it's almost identical to the end of Unchained. The sound couldn't be better! Nice work!

[Duke1822]

sounds great guys!!

[DirrtyCraig]

I love CPA.. bought his CD in iTunes a while ago.. but I just wish he'd woodshed a little and learn how to play LEAD GUITAR. His riffs are awesome.

[davidgrace7]

Who ARE you?! This is incredible. You need to make sure VH management hears this. And/or get it on CDbaby or something. People will buy this. Great job. Do you have a website?

[godspeedmusic]

@davidgrace7 I am from Canada (Jason Buhr - vocals) and Craig Parker Adams is the guitar man from L.A. Craig wrote the tunes and I just did the lyrics and vocal melodies...I believe you can find Craig's stuff on itunes (minus vocals).

[TheBoboshlep]

Sounds better than the cabaret act that is Van Halen now-a-days....

[guitarx75]

kick ass theres the old vanhalen.



[SilentKnight43]

Just bought "A Different Kind of Truth" earlier this evenin'...and here I am listening to this killer tribute track! Stellar job guys!

[godspeedmusic]

@SilentKnight43 Cool!  I'm still waiting for my copy...I pre-ordered it!

[nymike06]

This is a really good song. These guys rock it out.

[RockNRollCantDie]

u soundlike david lee roth!

[madmichaelmathieu]

This just kills...

[spicegirl1548]

This song is total VH!! I Hope VH hears it and will do it!!

[riddlr]

Wow...this is great guys. You really can feel and hear the love that you have for the guys.

Really nice!!

[osejr71]

Love this tune Craig!! Wish I could get my 5150 to sound like that!! I'm a big fan. Light 'em up!!!

[ApostolypseNow]

This is what is great about modern information age. There is no chance 99.9% of the people here would of heard this great original offering twenty years ago. Nice work, very impressive. Wishing you the best.

[madmichaelmathieu]

This fucking kills. You captured the whole sound. Goosebumps man!! Wow!!!

[untamedheartt]

Rock on

[Jram1187]

thankgodcpa !!! Love Craig Parker Adams. Seriously, go to his site and download his stuff....fantastic musician!!

[jeffunchained]

"This song ROCKS! It reminds you of what real Rock sounds like! Thanks for postin'; and keep'em comin'!"

[William5150vh]

This is freaking awesome!

[Maxharddrive64]

Okay this just kicked my azz and if i wasn't told different, Id of said this is the best song on the new album cuz it's is as good as the new album...okay maybe even better, I've heard bits and pieces of "Different Kind of Truth" and musically its exceptional and this could fit right in with it.....this a a fokkin tribute song? Jesus Christ!

[SomersetBar]

This is fantastic. 

[GolasgilEldemar]

Nj. And It is fun to hear this.

[MWood919]

Jesus! Great song, man! God, this rocks!

[CanaKahuna]

Excellent. Top 2 bottom.

[TheHeetmizer]

this is damn good, Great vocals and guitar tone!!!

[jcs012872]

I have to admit that Rocks

[motleycrue24]

wow good job

[sonicoclv55]

Cant stop the chills up the spine and arms...

[travelbyrocket]

What amp and speakers are you using? You've copped the brown sound to a tee !

[godspeedmusic]

@travelbyrocket That is Craig Parker Adams' tone...he's the guitar man!

[sonicoclv55]

I have listened to this many times before and agree with many of the comments here. I thought for a few seconds did Craig steal this opening from VH archives and this is actually a VH song revamped but its even better with the singer. Congrats on pulling this off love it . Keep em coming. Collaboration VH

[1977BanditTransAM]

This rocks guys...

[spins5]

It's funny that these guys sound way better than the real VH, keep the songs coming and let me know when I can buy the cd

[godspeedmusic]

@spins5 Thanks! maybe you can check us out playing it around town...Sons of Zed (Winnipeg)

[sonicoclv55]

@godspeedmusic I hope VH plays this live!!! Ha and the fans should request it in mass quantities



[godspeedmusic]

@sonicoclv55 haha...that would be very cool!!

[sonicoclv55]

@godspeedmusic When and where are you playing? I hope Inland empire, Orange and LA counties soon. Love how the song ends with just enough hook to make the listener want to get that feeling of hair standing on end..and the break is so cool. Cant Stop

[MuscleCarCafe]

I thought this was Van Halen new stuff. Hate to say it but its better...Great job!!!

[godspeedmusic]

@MuscleCarCafe Awesome!

[bighairaddict]

Holy crap. Where can I buy this!? This is frickin awesome. Your doing VH better than VH!!! You need to come out with an album like this.

[godspeedmusic]

@bighairaddict haha...would love to!!

[arkearthworks]

This sounds great. Classic VH tone and this guy totally sounds like Roth. IMO it is almost impossible to tell the difference between the two (Jason Buhr and Roth). I think that this guy sounds more like Roth than Roth does himself and I would like to see more work done by this guitarist and Buhr. I guarantee that if there were more VH songs done by this duo, and if you didn't see who was performing beforehand you would have a hard time telling the difference. Keep on rockin and rollin.

[godspeedmusic]

@arkearthworks Wow, thanks...would love to do more, had a blast!!

[retroguy80s]

I spent some time with Craig in his studio in LA. He's a great guy!

[OzzyVanHalen]

@godspeedmusic Oh yeah i just realized the credits at the end after I posted the first comment. But this does have a classic van halen sound to it a lot. I can't wait for the new record!

[barrysaint]

Craig has the classic Van Halen tone......I read somewhere that Craig is recording a new album....Hope it sounds like this !!!!!!! Maybe you guys should get Michael Anthony to sing background vocals,you might just sound more like classic Van Halen than the new Van Halen album !!!!!! Glad to see Van Halen with Roth again !!!! Keep it up, you guys Rock !!!!!

[barrysaint]

Sounds like Craig Parkers guitar playing and tone!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds great !!!!!!!!

[godspeedmusic]

@barrysaint Craig has the best classic VH tones!!

[OzzyVanHalen]

This isn't Van Halen this song was originally done by someone called Craig Parker Adams who has the classic VH tone.

[godspeedmusic]

@OzzyVanHalen Yes, you see the credits at the end. Craig Parker Adams and I have worked together on this over the internet...He had the music done and I couldn't help but add some lyrical DLR style melodies...Craig is very talented!!

[eveyweevy]

Sounds like the real deal. Awesome!!

[godspeedmusic]

@eveyweevy Cool!

[kingstermania]

Great job J!

[godspeedmusic]

@kingstermania Thanks Kingster!

[thekobocop1]

Wow, this is AWESOME!! They really caught the classic VH vibe! Great job guys VH should use this!

[godspeedmusic]

@thekobocop1 Hey thanks!! Had a blast doing it!

[godspeedmusic]

Hey guys, This is an original song done in the classic VH vibe...it was a lot of fun to do and was done as a tribute to the classic sound!

[mesarock2vh]

[boardwalkpub]
