Thanks Jack..... First honest one yet..... I didn't like this one much. I rushed it, the sound guys were idiots, and the production sucked....I did an off pseudo live 82' thing with liberties with the intro, couldn't hear shit, and was glad for it to be over.
Yes, Paul DeFransisco. I do believe he started this tribute band, and he's a very good friend, along with the original drummer, Vinnie. Where are you guys playing at these days, ever make it out to dallas, where Paul is?
Dude THIS is Chris Michaels The guy after paul, (who was the founder, you are correct )I did all the vegas gigs and japan along with tons of mini tours across the country/globe. What puzzles me is, "if you're a close friend of paul, why dont you realize this video in NOT
After 20 years, we lost touch. We found each other within the last few years, he updated me so I can only go by what he has told me. He has several bands, lol. You know Paul. He's on Facebook if you want to add him. Also, when I say good friends, we grew up in the same neighborhood, played together and also my band opened for him. But it's been awhile and alot more lbs for Paul, lol.
Chickenfoot should open for you guys.

Drummer is rushing it a bit.
And the backline cost much more than the PA I bet. The 15's in the riser are cool as shit. EQ hell I bet.
Good job anyway guys. Love this song.

The Atomic Punks are way better. Nice try though. Guitar is a little sloppy. But glad you guys are doing DLR era VH!!!

few comments:
- Good band (I say youre a 4start, where the orig. VH is only a 3 on a good night these days)
- The crowd sounds small and really shitty...book this band in better venues that can draw fans of the old VH...
- Love the tone on the guitar ... you spent a long time getting that right!

Dude, the snare drum sounds like paper. You did to try to get Al's brown sound. Tighten the head and loosen the dead ringer.

We came out of N.C
I toured with the other version for a little while between Paul & Chris a few years back.
Gabbie was doing drums when I was with them.
We haven't been out that far but I plan to.
