Van Halen - Toronto - 2007 - Hot For Teacher

[armortron]

It looks more like Elvis Lee Roth

[hyphen1studios]

pretty awesome footage considering the distance the seat probably was !

[JZepeda1231]

Why cant Alex play the intro ? D:

[JonBrickDrums]

@JZepeda1231 because its impossible they dubbed over the basss drum part twice back in the studio when they recorded it...

[JZepeda1231]

@JonBrickDrums i can do it -_______- its just heel to , its not that hard

[smoshlover97]

@JonBrickDrums im 14 and i can do it -_______-

[JonBrickDrums]

@smoshlover97 ok please put up a cover of hot for the teacher so i can see how its done

[smoshlover97]

@JonBrickDrums cameras broke. all you need is a double bass and some accurate feet

[JonBrickDrums]

@smoshlover97 lol i kno what u need and i have a very good feet im in a metal band im just saying its dubbed over and its impossible to hit every note but u can def play close enough no doubt about that

[smoshlover97]

@JonBrickDrums its not impossible i could name a bunch of drummers that could pull it off perfect, but AVH wasnt good enough which is why they dubbed it over

[Wilkster5150]

@smoshlover97 OK oh arrogant King of Drumming with a broken camera and a keyboard to hide behind, next you will be saying Buddy Rich was a no talent hack.

[smoshlover97]

@Wilkster5150 Buddy Rich was one of if not the best drummer of all time. All I am saying is it's not impossible.

[Wilkster5150]

@smoshlover97 Al is also one of the best, but I m not going to argue the point. He's always been underrated being in a band with Ed, Dave an Sam.

[smoshlover97]

@Wilkster5150 that is a good point but what i have herd from him is not too impressive. He is underrated though but cant be compared to Carey, Peart, Rich, Bonzo, Moon, etc.

[Wilkster5150]

@smoshlover97 Like anything in music it is a matter of opinion. I like all the guys you mentioned as well. Alex and Rich just happen to be my two favorites. I would say that maybe just go an listen to more from Al. I dont know what you have or havent heard. Loss of Control, Outta Love Again, Girl Gone Bad, In A Simple Rhyme etc. Watch the solo on Youtube from the PPV concert in Toronto 1995. Again just a matter of personal preference. Much respect to a fellow drummer.

[smoshlover97]

@Wilkster5150 ive herd a few of those, and yeah its all personal preference. much respect to you as well

[JZepeda1231]

@JonBrickDrums i can play it -___- my friend can too

[ericou812]

i wonder how long it took wolfie to learn there songs?

[activehead]

What tha fuck it's going own with the crowd, seems like only one guy knows what it's all about... i guess he is mexican hahaha

[NYtoTX]

I think DLR is gay...and I love it!

[beautifulcoward]

Dave why did you cut your hair?

[gutterguru]

yeah VH sans Michael Anthony is far worse than sans DLR. Im sure wolfgang is a great musician and all, but come on... come on....

[markdurocher100]

van hhhhhhh ellllen rock

[cpjackson79]

What's the Venue? Rogers Centre? Air Canada Centre?

[RyanGuitar007]

@cpjackson79 ACC

[FelicianB]

New Van Halen album upoming, release 2011, that means a new tour aswell!

[ludwigking]

It's not just me, it's ALOT of people!!!!

[ludwigking]

BRING MIKE BACK!!!!! I WILL NOT SEE THEM UNTIL MIKE IS BACK!!!!!!

[Beholdthecoma]

@ludwigking hey, its your loss pal, they dont really care whether one person wont see them.

[FunnyMensch]

I think I was at that show... I believe it's Wolfie on bass and Roth on vocals.

[cincyrocked]

God plays a guitar. It's red, white, and black and kicks mutha fuckin ass.

[JaySharp604]

F#CKING A! Alex is still monstrously fast at his age! SICK!!

[JOSHAPPLE101]

why do I have an erection?

[santillica]

@JOSHAPPLE101 because your watching

[jhop5150]

I think Wolfgang is fuckin' good.

[uvebeentagged]

@jhop5150 everyone always says "i can't believe they fired anthony" well wolfgangs the son of Eddie VANHALEN if they taught him to play guitar it would rip a hole in the space time continu-thingy

[VHWarshawski]

@jhop5150 I think you're an idiot. No Michael Anthony, no VH. the kid does nothing but stand there anyhow.

[cfreckna]

@VHWarshawski

While this is true that for the beginning of the tour (before Eddie's rehab), as soon as the second leg started, Wolfie seemed to have gotten used to being on stage. I saw them in DC in november of 07 and again in Baltimore in spring 08, and Wolfie seemed like a different person. Gotta give the kid some respect, he's definitely got balls.

[Guitfiddlejase]

@VHWarshawski Nothing personal against Wolfie(I think it's remarkable what this teenager is doing) but I must agree-There is a whole the size of Utah in this lineup...

...Bring Mikey back!

[smoothstalker71]

@VHWarshawski hmmm....Bill Wyman of the Stones just stood in one spot also....he played bass....whats your point?

[cadirector]

My first time watching any video from this tour. I remember all the hype and how it crashed and burned as the tour went on. Love Van Halen & Van Hagar, but here there is just no chemistry. Don't know what leg of the tour they were on at this point, but it looks like they are just going through the motions and the music doesn't live up to other live performances here on you tube. Glad I didn't spend my hard earned cash on this tour.

[t3hPoundcake]

@cadirector I agree. There is no Van Halen anymore...at least not the one we know and love. With Hagar or Roth in the early years of both it was such a brotherly band with so much chemistry and just good times...but it is no more. I personally think this tour was just because Ed was bored after he fired his 3rd frontman.

[HiOctane62]

VAN HAGAR please come back

[GABEPERKINS]

God Roth sucks.... I saw van hagar and Roth in this reunion.. Wasn't the same.. Michael anthony with his energy and background vocals.. Roth's voice is shot. Everything that he brought to the band previously, the showman ship is gone. Stick a fork in them... Need MA back and SH.. Maybe put wolfie as a 2nd guitarist..

[LizRichieBand]

VH RIP 78-84

[tehbackmaskr]

is it just me or are they tuned a half step lower than album here?

[Rick951]

@tehbackmaskr If not more.

[TheGuitarted]

@tehbackmaskr Bands often do that live

[reikRap]

incredible

[Bluntfacts]

Wow. This is played at such a pushed up beats per minute that is it almost like they just wanted to get over with.

Many will disagree, but this is at best, B rated.= Good. If anyone really thinks this is A rated (Excellent), that is true devotion. Disclaimer: I saw VH in the 1970s when they really laid it out night after night.

[dharmaseed]

No Mike, no Van Halen. Screw you, Eddie.

[ACESHIGH1020304]

Haha they tuned it down half a step down so the singer could reach the notes in his old age.

[asbolus1]

@ACESHIGH1020304

you sir are an asshole a stupid piece of shit and a moron van halen used to tune to Eb since the first record

[ACESHIGH1020304]

@asbolus1 Yeah, of course I am. And you have no idea what you're talking about BTW, because yes, the first recording of Hot for Teacher was in standard EADGBE tuning, not a half step down. This concert was in Eb. Go fucking learn something.

[beatapt5]

@ACESHIGH1020304

Old cats out giggin' and you're sittin' at home making comments on youtube. So what if he did lower the key? Geeze, get in the real world!

[TheTzdope]

roth looks out of place in this latest rendition of van halen!

[djflashg]

wankers love this crap.u

[rafamaxw]

He dont took, "whats the teatcher look like this", van halen rocks, guitar hero van halen, the best!

[sk8erflipdude]

the drumming is so sick in this, i visualize a hyper person playing that.........like me, but i dont have the skillz

[TheGuitarPlayer80]

Bass is way too loud in this

[superdome65]

@TheGuitarPlayer80 its probably the video camera

[TheGuitarPlayer80]

@superdome65 yeah, probably

[edmonton67]

You haven't heard guitar until the legend ala EVH plays..........

[diamonddust22]

I would love to see comments disabled. People have shown they don't know what they fuck they are talking about. There is very little use for people's fucking comments on here.

[HanonGuurl527]

I think it's funny when Dave went to Eddie and then Eddie walked away, and then Dave went to Wolfgang. xDD

[froggiewntacortin]

he walked away to change one of the effects he uses in the solo

[HanonGuurl527]

Idc it was still funny

[terrorizerr1]

that sounds like a cover band!

[watergrass5150]

without a doubt EVH is the greatest guitar player in the universe

[truck300lb]

eddie is great but not the greatest.

[69ALXX]

wolfgangs backing vocals make it sound way different and i think eddies silencing the guitar to much and why doesnt he use the frankenstrat any more?????

[IknowJohnLear]

Van Halen R.I.P. 1974-1984

[drumdogy]

iv'e never been there but it looks either huge indoor venue or outside which is terrible for sound it bounces all over and sounds like shit or dissapears.these guys don't look or act the same to some cuz they all got fucking buiseness haircuts and it gives different attitude even tho there the same badassed rockers they were in 70's-80's,huh?fuckin A RIGHT!.

[whatthegood1]

haha gotta love the kick at 0:32

[Rewwinnd]

well the drumming is perfect :D

[sungodrah]

very very cool,folks just enjoy the music,whiny bitches i tell ya!

[GONGINATER209]

now it is like it is all vanhalens' except for david lee roth.

[darkincinerater]

yeh who are they gonna bring next eddies wife lol

[alextamuk]

actually his sister is my wife :)

[IknowJohnLear]

Van Bertinelli

[Tibarmwillems]

Did David just forget the lyrics? It doesn't sound as good anymore. It sounds like a freeform half the time.

[Aweb666]

No he's just having fun

[gambit5150]

i think you find eddie is my brother ha ha, what a dumb ass

[whiplash308]

my parents went to this show, they said it was insanely loud. I believe it now.

[shmuen]

LOL

[Azicpok1]

only if michael anthony would come back

[theShowStopper321]

@Azicpok1 I can't believe Eddie would turn on Michael Anthony that fast when Anthony suck with them thru everything. All cus he kept in contact and hung out with Sammy still (and jammed with him)

[stevedrums]

@theShowStopper321 Didn't go to the reunion show for that reason.

[meinshnake]

I think this is the RIM concert... I may have been there,

I thought it was colder when I went so maybe not...

[hellpatrol666]

o yea i know what you mean, eddie's sister is MY guitar teacher! fucking retarded.

[tbone6969171616]

your fucking dumb he only has one brother eddie u dumb fucking shit as if u try to bull shit that u dumb fucking cunt jesus christ ur fuucking so stupid fuck u

[blackfrancis55]

simply highlights why dave is good and bad in this band.

[peter1493]

this would be so hard to play live

they did an awesome job

VAN HALEN!!!!!!!!!!!

[nr100555]

sweet

[kicku4fun]

yay the drummer's brother is my drum teacherrr! :]

[FFXPWNS]

your drum teacher is eddie van halen?

[thealabamaman]

yeah that means that EVH is your teacher... lying

[AnAutumnWind]

LMAO...ownd

[RaynosaStudios]

oh that's cool dude! my guitar teacher is Eddie Van Halens Brother

[litaftw]

Liar.

[mattsmusicstudio]

so your saying Alex Van Halen is your guitar teacher? How stupid do you think everyone is to believe that?

[RaynosaStudios]

it was a joke, some one had said that Alex Van halens brother was their drum teacher...so i said Eddie van halens brother was my guitar teacher

[Ironman935]

lol dumass

[wolfwood221]

I hope to god you're trolling.

[trashers4cashers]

stupid youtube trolls LOL

[SlashJoe5150]

i love the intro and solo its my faviorte part of the vid

[jerostico]

what a fuck public! move on mother fuckers!

[uofm97]

They need to get Michael Anthony back on bass and end that petty bullshit. Not only is he part of that legacy, but his background vocals made Dave look good a lot of times.

[tibarm]

When Eddie starts playing the intro its so fucking perfect.

[TheHockeyCentral]

@tibarm Ed definitely got his shit together for that tour I give him that.

[Powerslave226]

that guitar is unreal...holy fuck can't get over it!

[pisswizzard]

Fucking briliant. Rock at its cutting edge.

Drums and bass laying down a solid foundation with guitar and vocals just riffing over the top...........with DLR and EVH just giving it the full treatment!

ROCK IS MEANT TO BE COCK OUT CHAUVANISTIC POUNDING ROCK.......no whining, no emo, no misery (thats goth)...just beer, partying and BIG RIG ROLLING as the man himself says :-D

[KewnBr0]

hell fuck yeah!

[Ignore14]

eddy still rocks and dave has been doing kung fu and stuff on stage??? wtf

awesome performance

[CJCRaCK]

how come alex never does the first drum part

[newowned]

It's insanely difficult to pull off properly without overdubs

[MagicMirror981]

lol i know a guy thats bin playin 4 bout 10 years and he still cant do the intro drum part

[nanditocrespo]

who's singin'?

[HORUSelHALCON]

David Lee Roth

[Qdude88]

really i didnt reconize him and he sounds a little different

[Page111player]

They still got it! I saw this concert in Wisconsin it was awesome!! Wolfgang Van Halen does great on base and Eddie hasn't lost any skill, he has only improved :P

[wicked3lovely]

omg they still live on <3 FUCKING AMAZING I LOVE THEM

[SlashJoe5150]

GO VAN HALEN

i like the solo

[27POP27]

kinda noisy at the vid :P

but its him!

[CrazyCussholaDrum]

BELLA...davvero...deve essere stato un bel live!! la qualità non è ottima pero basta sapere che c'è gente che ascolta buona musica... |m|

[PercyPengyCP]

dude i was at this

i live two blocks away from were they played

[mjrupps]

HE DOES THE RIDE WITH ONE HAND?

[superball57]

He sure does!

lml

[samantonio]

yeah it's actually not too hard you just play the ride holding the sticks with your thumb and middle finger and it jumps on the symbol with relative ease. I'm not a great drummer at all and it's pretty easy for me :)

[mjrupps]

Oh, when I (attempt to) play it, I use 2 hands on the ride, then go back to play the snare with my left hand.

[samantonio]

yeah, that's too difficult to have to switch between ride and snare. just let the sticks... ride... on the ride.

[mjrupps]

That's jusy how I do it. I've been told it works so I have no intention on changing it.

[Sling1190]

dude.... toronto rocks... van halen rockss....... EVERTHIN ABOUT THIS VID OWNZ

[WarriorcatsXYZ]

wow, SOMEone sucks, and yes, im talking to you deadgameover

[Phraun]

We need a damn DVD of the 2007 tour, the phone footage clowned out with YouTube compression makes this almost unbearable.

[Thetankband]

is there any non cell phone footage of 2007

[wilkyx]

hate to say it. cabaret. eddie ( who is my hero ) taking the piss out of dave. if theres any new material out of them i'll show my arse. hope i'm wrong

[dArHtJeDi]

im guessing it souds better if u were there=l

[cotonete777]

the sound of this video is very good

Van Halen is the best!

[gummibilen]

i wish i was there!

[jasperhuting]

its suck noob

[andres895]

noob?

why does that make him a noob? fag.

[tomamhoid]

fuck , eddie moves more and hes had cancer , addictions and fuck knows what else , oh ,and hes playing a geetar!!! exactly dave , oh my goooddd!!!!!!

[tomamhoid]

good ol dave , moving like the geriatric that he is , give up grandad ur not 18 any more .

[vegeta115]

alex never plays the drum intro live guess he cant do it without the overdubs

[Vaioholic]

Cool, just too bad the quality kinda sux :/

[gigantesdailha]

I was there! Alo Brazil eu tava lá!

[JohnTele17]

wow, that bass really distorts everything, especiallly the guitar, and i think it ends up sounding pretty bad eventhough the guitar is actually insane, but you cant tell with the bass in there

[Killenmachine05]

well cut him some slack because im pretty sure that the bassist is eddies sond and hes like 16-18 im not sure

[JohnTele17]

im not takin anything away from wolfgang, im just saying that the sound quality could be better. its pretty cool that he stepped up and filled in for michael anthony actually

[racingking42]

i dont think they actually meant for the bass to be louder then the lead guitar. it was probly just like an accident

[gibsonn14]

You must have a crappy amp then, because im louder than my bass player in my band on 7 when im on 4, of course it is a marshall full stack, but he has an ampeg fullstack also

[virtualboy238]

Van Halen kicks ass! And he rocks!!!!!!!!

[rhett875]

I was there dude!!!! I was in the promoters seats!!!fuk that was a good concert!!!!!!!

[WavierHalo]

Van Halen ftw!!!!

[sniperking1990]

wait! theres sompthing wrong with this video!!!.... i can hear the bass

[guitarheroloverz]

lol

[SuperCheesyTacco]

u got that from guitar hero u nerd

[sniperking1990]

and what if i did? at least i can play this song on the real guitar check the vids out bud

[Palooka16]

You're supposed to hear it. xD The bass is like the rhythm keeper in the band.

[sniperking1990]

nah you never wanna hear the bass over the guitar XD just put it in the guitarist monitor

[Palooka16]

Lmfao our guitarist is so wimpy I'm always louder than him and I've only got my amp on 5-7 most of the time. I keep telling them I need to play lead. BUT NOO girls can't play lead. xD

[sniperking1990]

just shred an awesome solo on his guitar then take the lead spot

[Palooka16]

IKNOWRIGHT I'm like WAY better than our lead guy. And yes gibsonn14 my amp is a cheap one. I had to buy it myself with all the money I had. xD

[riseofhonor]

the bass must be heard...if ur metallica

[Palooka16]

The bass must be heard if you're any band. The bassist keeps rhythm.

[thisisspinaltap]

u no alex dubbed the intro when he recorded 1984

because he doesnt play it here

still great tho

[fm66fastback]

this is in seattle

[rootzboy]

This is in Toronto Canada

[drumhead75]

Alex is rushing the tempo?????? Its his God given right, he's the drummer. He can speed if he wants to!!!

[rockty5]

ya alex is kinda speeding up a bit at first,but oh well he's still hecka awesome.

[0162]

miss Micheal Anthony

[LedRoseShredder]

Haha, its funny knowing that David isnt the way he was before, getting a LOT of pussy probably every single day. He's still kick-ass and a great singer, though!

[kenwen44]

ALEX IS RUSHING THE TEMPO

LETS GO PENS

[MoreBarn66]

i agree kenwen. he's flying at Ramones speed

[XxXinsane51XxX]

van halen got pretty lazy at guitar in my opinion but yea thats just mee
