[hoghash78]

Sammy should have stepped back, let Leslie and Eddie take the song.

Sammy makes it sloppy



[ncast54]

They should have Leslie sing. He can only sing Mississippi Queen the right way

[ml2355]

*Leslie West & Van HAGAR Jam- Mississippi Queen

[jvlplow]

Only bad thing about this is Sammy. He SUCKS. Dave IS THE MAN.....

[0ldman0tis]

Van Hagar

[JohnAllanification]

Evan Victor Henry. dude,where have you been ? sure, Eddie VanHalen has soul. i have no problem with that ..saw him with Black Sabbath just after 1st lp and i can tell you that he really do's have feeling.i think he's injured himself with volume&substance and he did it for me,too.. Leslie West would give him more. it alway's happen's,that way..

[depper]

"This guy can play guitar and sing! SHIT!!" - TRUTH

[MistyMountainsky]

Looks like West has lost half his body weight.Glad to see he is taking care of himself.

[kennyplay]

@MistyMountainsky this was a while ago. actually Leslie has been battling Diabetes, and recently lost a leg because of it.

[JohnAllanification]

here's hoping that soul will rub off on EVH.

[mse1576]

I LOVE youtube..... Hagar is pretty sweet guitar player too.

[stretchgilbert]

Leslie West Is Eddies Idol? No Wonder He Is Such A Kick Ass Guitarist In His Own Right!!!

[hoghash78]

Leslie auditioned for Skynyrd in 75. But it didnt work for some reason.

What if??????

Anyway, I think Eddie Van Halen did good with this =))

[got2chews]

F**king Awesome

[bustballz]

wow

[Kinjite89]

Eddie looks like Jim Carey as Lloyd Christmas

[MrShoeman21]

How cool is this!

[waynof77]

@MrOwen For The Win!!!

[BigGameChuck]

Haha Leslie is clearly the elder statesman here but Eddie is NOT letting this guy breathe!! More of a supplemental performance than a battle but this is sick....too bad the covers Eddie did on the last tour sucked in comparison....such a "fruity" sounding tone on his new setup...love this early/mid 90's shit, still at the top of his game...

[muddstrosity]

Leslie West = best vibrato I've ever heard...

[follettea]

@muddstrosity Yes, great vibrato... I think Angus Young Heard Leslie... He needs more props

[HeRacesTheSun]

Yeah baby !!

[microdon2]

Leslie West is a better guitarist than E. Van Halen (on THIS song) and a better SINGER than Sammy Hagar!!

[MrOwenw405]

One of the most underrated guitarists next to Brian May, Leslie is in my Top 5.

[FuhrerKaiser]

@MrOwenw405 Wow say the same. Check out my video.

[blooddonor70]

@MrOwenw405 Mick Ronson needs mention!

[rpminc12]

As great as Eddie is... No one can out do Leslie West on this song...its in his dna

[twst1]

[WolfgangOU812]

@twst1 Balance tour 95

[2253glen]

'Mo Bell!

[OrganicAudioRecordrs]

[IncarceratedBayou2]

Leslie West Godfather of the "brown sound".

[wisesatyr72]

yeah No one likes Change..I can say it too.

[hardrockguy]

WOW!!!!!!!!!! Blast this through your earphones!

[Chappomusic]

The Best..

[johnnybeane]

Alex Skolnick's band "Exhibit-A" opened for Mountain at the Berkeley Square in Berkeley, CA in 1995.

Alex is an old friend and and we were standing right in front of Leslie while Mountain played this song.

Was a great night!!

[1pick2sticks]

Hagar was at his best here.

[jimmyboy131]

Two tone-meisters tearing it up! Love it!!

[VidFunZip]

[JohnnyLennon2008]

LESLEI WEST rules !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The king of tone and aggressive phrasing, he can still write & play great rock music. THANKS!

[Jedizen07]

[depper]

2:00 - 2:28 is the "King Kong vs Godzilla scene" of Rock n Roll.

[unclelight13]

[rockmandantyrrell]

[rockmandantyrrell]

[depper]

... [tips cap]... no problem ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Rock out and rock on

[snodrifter52]

years ago, i saw an interview with Roy Buchanan. someone asked how he could switch from a telecaster to a les paul and make them sound the same. Roy just grinned and said " tone ain't in the guitar...it's in the hands." Roy, unfortunately, is long gone...Leslie is living proof that what he said is right!!! thanks depper, for this inadvertant birthday present!!
