  • I think it's great.A lot of fun to watch.

  • The Guitarist is "On Fire" The Bassist is "Unchained" Drummer is "Hot for Teacher" The singer is "you're NO GOOD" and the backup vocals just suck...

  • Work on the backups guys!!!!

  • suhr custom? how much did u paid that :O?!?

  • The guitarist is spot-on....perfect.

  • I think they are playing in front of the Rollings Stones... Isn't that Charlie Watts?

  • I never knew VH tribute bands played at retirement homes...half the crowd are on hearing aids and dentures...if I was the guitarist, I'd say to the lead singer "dude, are we in the right place?"

  • that must be the third van halen brother on guitar... holy shit was that some good guitar playing

  • great guitarist, the rest of the vid JUST PLAIN WEIRD, WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY PLAYING FOR? A NURSING HOME? WTF

  • why dosent a guaitarist with his ability to his own thing instead of a side show?

  • hahahaqaaaaaa!! look at the elderly couple down in front."hey Mabel I thought the VFW was having bingo tonight?" "Why no Harold,I just figured since you took a couple of viagras that a good rock show would be just what we need before tonight's festivities!"

  • Guitarist is good....that is all

  • Nice guitar playing for sure

  • lmao what a shitty gig but GUITAR PLAYER WAS SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK

  • The Singer Sucks..........

  • I love that grey-haired couple on the first row! If they aren't they already deaf they were after sitting six feet from that 4x12 cabinet.

  • That bass player is one sad looking dude.

  • They could need a new drummer....

  • The guitar player is the star. The other guys are a joke.

  • One dimemsional guitar tone, not much going on here, no expression, not even in the same universe as Ed

  • I'M THE ONE.

  • great fucking guitarist but the singer is bringin them down

  • the singer sounds like he's drunk, nice job on guitar though!

  • Very cool man. A lot of VH tribute bands have the look, but can't back it up. These guys have the look and the chops. As well, the guitarist has the early VH tone down perfect. Awesome. I'd go see them.

  • HA HA Check out the old people in the front row!! Looks like they are really diggin it!

  • haha the singer looks like fabian crema. look for him in youtube

  • es mas linda que fabian!

  • Fucking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

  • LOL!!!!

  • This Guitar Player is the best I have seen at note for not and sound of Eddie by far, especially Eddies early songs where he tore the neck up with speed without sounding like crap shredding.

    This guy should have hooked up with sammy and Mike A instead of Joe Scratchamini....

  • great player but he sures looks different without his hair:D

  • I'd go see these guys, be fun as hell

  • Brilliant, brilliant guitar playing, sort out the vocals though...

  • he is probably the best guitar player that sounds like eddie

    he is pretty kick ass

  • The bass player looks like a blonde Wolfgang. Music A+, vocals B-.

  • I took a online webcam guitar lesson from this guitarist. Hes way cool. And he don't sit there and show off like hes the shit. He IS the SHIT, but he is really helpful. Super nice guy.

  • Fuckin out of controll!!!!!!! Love the whole thing. How did you get Kevin Nealon to jam on drums for you?!?!? NO but really, like everybody is saying, Eddie guy, you are bad ass. Well done. Dave guy is kick ass too

  • yeaaaaaaaa

  • i love the old guy.. he must be deaf by now lmaoo!!

    but great show

  • The old guy in the front row must be dead! Great guitar, lousy vocals!

  • i fucking hate tribute bands, and the singer from this one is a great example of why.

    but that guitarist is great.

  • @birdiejoehoaks Good thing the singer is no longer in the band!

  • @birdiejoehoaks but hes exactly like dave. drunk off his ass. and sings like shit live

  • @frankenstrat25 hahaha

  • @birdiejoehoaks so in my opinion hes the best impersonator ever

  • @frankenstrat25 i yield to you sir.

  • @birdiejoehoaks hey when any singer sings like dave can live. i give them props. mumbling. and forgetting the words.

  • Is that pat benatar on drums? The guitar player is incredible.

  • @EddySwass Is that Curt Schilling on Base?

  • Fucking Perfect Performance!

  • I have to agree great job al!

  • fa nominal guitar player!!!!! but stick to the guitar dude U suck at singing! Grandma and Pa can be rockers too!!!!

  • all right guys !!! Great !!!!

  • Al Estrada is one of the best Van Halen players in the world.

    The guy knows it all!

  • This, minus the awesome guitar player, is awful... I mean are they at retirement home or something, whats with grandma and grandpa getting their heads shredded off in the front row next to the amps by the guitar player...

  • Has the singer got a pair of socks stuffed down his kex? Guitarist is amazing SHIT HOT

  • dude is nasty on the guitar

  • my guitar looks like his but i did it my self

  • Great guitarist!! Not that great a band tho

  • you guys should come to graspop! or at Rock Am Ring. im sure everyone would love you guys!

  • Eddie would certainly be jealous....ha ha ha

  • Absoulutly the best performance of him doing a rendition of Eddie. Believe me, after hearing many players in many cities across the states doing Eddie, this guy is it!

  • pretty damn good

  • This is how I invision hell.

  • Ha ha ha ha!!!

  • Ha ha ha ha ha yea...

  • HAHAHHAHA

  • is this guy using a tonelab, coz his tone sounds wxactly like the se demos on the vox site

  • yeah the guitar player jams but the band sucks! They cant sing backups for shit! Why waste all your time covering a band????? HAHAHA! what a bunch of butt burglers!

  • i love the ol people in the front row,,,,man that guy is one tight guitar player!!!!!

  • pretty good, but horrible singnin, nothing like the original

  • eddie would be proud

  • It's kind of sad, but hey it must be really fun.

  • pretty cool. great video!! keep it up!!!

  • I can fart a tone better than that EV imitator can sing.

  • I dont get how anyone can say hes better then eddie, he didint write the music hes playing... that simple

  • eddie you rule...STILL number 1 in their time

  • eddie you rule...STILL number 1 in their time

  • that guy's really got the evh sound going on

  • That was bosifus!

  • Are those your parents in the front row??? Awesome!!! Great guitar work!!

  • Just as in VH,guitarist is the shit and the band BLOWS!!!

  • that guitarist could go further the rest of the band is just ok. the guitarist should look for new ppl to play with

  • that drummer cracks me up. He looks like Adam Sandler. He looks like he's afraid he's gonna pop himself in the head with a drum stick. :)

  • Nice job on Ed's part on this 1.

  • Super guitar everything else just ok.

  • vocals and drummer suck!!!! Guitar is amazing.

  • you took the words out of my mouth.

  • as a vh fan it would've been cool to see this, and this fuckin' lame ass crowd just sat there. sorry bastards!

  • Guitar is good singer lacks feeling and a voice........the stage could be a little bigger too doncha think? :D

  • uhhhhhh the guitar is good but the singer and the back up vocals suck

  • Man I dont think the singer sucks I think his mix sucks, and yeah the backvoc suck, but man if you guys get your shit together youde be the best tribute for van halen, that dude looks like Roth the bass player looks like MA, and your guitarist could take EDV place in van halen and nobody would know the difference, seriously my dad who was listening to VH since he was 16 came in and thought it was the real Eddie playing, great band I like you guys alot.

  • That audience has to be cardboard cutouts... or maybe that old dude was waiting for the Frank Sinatra impersonator...

  • Al is the freaking best!! He just rips! that audience is the worst. I think they have been living in a cave for the last 20 years.

  • guitar playing is seriously flawless... daaaayum O_O

  • Al's great - not impressed with the tone though- it's over-saturated, mushy and not at all like a vintage Plexi. Perhaps it's more of a cross between the old 5150 MKI and a JCM800. Apparently Al's not in this band anymore either - six months or so ago the rest of this band reformed with another guitarist as "Fan Halen". I haven't heard that incarnation as of yet... or the new "Ed clone".

  • amazing guitar tone,the od100, is really amazing

  • must be hard up for gigs to be playing at an old folks nursing home.the old guy in front was probably hoping for a frank sinatra impersonater that night

  • These guys are definitely rockin...drummer make me a little nervous watching for some reason...hhmm...

  • The guitar playing is flawless. The best Eddie cover I've seen. But man the vocals really suck.

  • Three Plonkers and One Great Guitarist!

  • Isn't that usually the case?

    I have Al's solo disc, it is really good. Even the fact that he did all the instruments himself doesn't take away from it.

  • Dude that frekin rox. how did you learn how 2 play like that?^o^

  • I agree, if this were in uk it would be in a working mens club, ppl who are only interested in bingo. Vocalist is shite also...and the drummer is laughable. Excellent guitarist though.

  • Drummer and Bass player aren't even close to playing together,,guitar players good..but,,, I could understand the outfits if they were in a big club.. but this looks like the senior center..Spandex for Grandma and Grampa????

  • I agree-they should write(even) a (mediocre)song and go on tour.  I'll go see them! They're too good to play only covers.

  • They need to stop acting people they aren't... omg it's so gay.

  • first of all the guitar player is the shit.he should be in rock band....not a cover band. but, where the fuck are they playing at? i dont have a problem with cover bands but he is just so good to not be in a huge rock band!

  • guitar is like the best vocals are the worst

  • I wish I could punch the drummer in the face. He looks like a jackass.

  • hahahahahaha

  • Gimme a break!

    McDonalds is hiring!

  • Is Eddie playing an ibanez? It doesnt look like the fender head.

  • Heh. I think the faux DLR is packin a cucumber.

  • lmao

  • Great Guitar, almost exact to the original song. Vocals need refining, way off. Audience is cracking me up big time, was this footage shot at that local VFW??

  • I think they're in the singer's basement and those are his parents and family. They must be impressed with his threads.

  • The old guy is looking at the singers Spandex and saying to himself... WTF am I doing here?

  • That is some funny shit!!Looks like a bunch of old dudes in the audience!!

  • That is funny as shit!!Looks like some old dudes in the audience!

  • Good GOD...is this audience dead? This is one of the best Van Halen covers I have ever heard, not to mention just a generally DAMNED good stage presence.

  • The guitar is a look a like of Eddies guitar from the second album. The same guitar that Eddie put in Dimebags coffin.

  • Let Eddie Play Eddie PLEASE!!!

  • This gutar player plays this great. His backing vox are a bit to high but again his playing/riffs are right on!

  • He plays the note right, But seems to lack that Ed feel & Sole, Don't mean to piss anyone off, Just my opinion

  • yep,,singer spoils it bigtime

  • the crowd looks really excited. lol!

  • The guy trying to be Dave didn't do a good job. The guy on guitar did though.

  • Stick with the guitar, not the background harmonics!

  • cool guitar playing the singer needs to sing more on key kick him out he cant sing and get a bass player thats not 300 lbs keep the drummer.good guitar playing though.

  • Dead-on Eddie playing as far as I'm concerned. But that's where it ends.

  • Suhr made that guitar?

  • aye El Strada is the best EVH tribute guitarist i've ever heard!

  • It looks like someone's grndfather in the front row.

  • mas que merda!!! o som é ótimo mAH platéia wajakkeakekakkakaka LOL!

  • ..get this guitar player to THE Atomic punks quick!!!

  • Man im sorry but the drummer looks like a gay 1940's sailor !!!

  • That crowd rules! :) Really though the guitar player is badass.

  • Are you kidding, that's Eddie sitting on the left side w/ the chick. LOL

  • it cant get any gayer.

  • This singing is as bad as the guitar playing is good. The Atomic Punks Rule!!!!

  • as hard as Eddie is to impersonate, Dave is even harder

  • great guitar player. Dead on impersonation. Almost like watching Eddie himself.

  • Sept his voice sounds nothing like eddies.

  • The guy`s a monster on guitar! Is that a Titlest in DLR`s spandex?

  • sounds great to me, too bad the crowd sucked.

  • Don't that suck when someone nails the brown sound better than Eddie. LoL... This guy Must be single, no kids, and never had a girlfriend. I envy him!

  • Ummmmm...... you can't nail the brown sound better than Eddie since EVH created the brown sound. EVH had it how it was supposed to sound, you can only make it 100% as good, but never better.

  • It was a joke. This guy has the most accurate re-creation that i've heard.

  • What the heck is the "brown sound"? That note Cartman hits that makes you crap your pants? Seriously, I am a guitarist for 40 years and never heard a brown sound. Peace PS This Estrada guy looks a little like Dave! nice cover band!

  • The band may not be the best, but this guy NAILS Eddies early tone.Best Eddie clone Ive ever seen,heard.

  • Checkout the Atomic Punks, They do it right

  • Not Bad, The DLR dude is Horrid, The Ed dude can play the notes but lacks the feel, Emotion, & Spirit of Ed, Sorry, just opinion

  • That is so true, he is missing hte tightness that Eddie had.It looks to me he rushes to get to the next lick...sometimes, not all the time.

    But still it his amazing that he has Eddie's sound.

    Money baby, bring on the money

  • Hey you guys do a really great job. The Eddie dude's a monster player! Keep it up! Sorry the venue seemed so lame.

  • that was great, but id rather just have my own band rather than always pretending im someone else
