@MrEpicwin69 Thanks much! Will do as long as possible! When you get a minute, check out my latest version by clicking on the link in the beginning of this video. I sing lead vox and play the entire intro. The band is ROCTOPUS!
dude FUCK all them hating fags there jelious cuz they cant play dude this was awesome keep on going these guys probably sit in the basement of there parents place
@MintyFreshist Hey man... thanks for gettin' ma back bro! It's really all good to me. You can't please everyone and there will always be lovers and haters out there. I simply choose to focus on the positive vibes coming from the positive people, like yourself. There's no room in my life for negativity.Thanks again!
@drummerboyfl no problem man i know how it feels people bitch at me when they cant even do half the stuff i do so yea man if this is your band Good Luck to yall
@JuanRockRick Already have my man. Click the link in the intro of this video. It'll take you to my best version where I play the entire intro AND sing lead! Let me know if you dig that one better! Cheers!
@djpazzo4u LOL, any comment that comes from some douche with the letters "DJ" in their name has no bearing on anything. Go push some buttons and pretend you're "making music."
@Debonardo Hey brosef, if you managed to read the paragraph that is staring you in the face when you press play on this here video, you would have read that if you clicked on that link, it would take you to a more recent version of the song played by my current band where I not only play the intro in its entirety, but I sing lead vocals too. BTW, the version above is only a few beats slower because my guitarist couldn't play it any faster. I'd hardly say that's "dragging like a motherfucker."
@briandrum1 Thanks man. This version is a few beats slower than the album. Good ear. Check out the version I sing lead on and play the entire intro. Click on the paragraph at the beginning of this video to check it out. Much better version overall.
@MACCaroniproductions The stage was pretty big but the camera angle also adds to the appearance of extra depth. I wasn't as far as it appears from the front of the stage.
@chrismortloch92 Hey thanks Chris! I have to agree with you in regard to this particular band. If you get a chance, check out the newer version played by my current band, ROCTOPUS. Just click on the text in the beginning of this video and it'll take you there. It's also my default video that is displayed if you go to my channel. Happy Holidaze!
@BrianMorrison71 LOL... I'm sorry, but you're a tool for leaving such a stupid, douchebag comment. I used to do that to pay some tribute to Alex and that original sound that you never forgot once you heard it. If you could read you would have done so in the beginning of the video that tells you to click on it to go to a version with my current band that I play the entire intro on and sing lead vocals as well. There are reasons people do things bro. Find out more before being a dick next time.
@BrianMorrison71 And if you were literate, you would've noticed the paragraph at the beginning of this video that states if you clicked on the link, it would take you to a more recent version of the song where I not only play the entire intro, but sing lead vocals on it too. Find me anyone else that can do that and get back to me. By the way, I CHOSE to sequence the intro and you'd know why once again, if you were literate.
@DrumCoalitionWithWar That sure is! Good eye/ear! That's actually THE 20" HHX Power Ride that was reviewed in Modern Drummer's Product Review for that cymbal. My former room mate went to the Sabian factory. I asked if he would pick me out a ride and he delivered!
@eyesac99 Thanks man... I agree with your assessment of the guitar. Click on the paragraph at the beginning and it'll take you to a much more current version my new band plays. My guitarist nails all-things Eddie. Let me know if you dig that one better. Thanks for the comment!
@Sycho03 Thanks so much! Check out my newer version where I sing lead vocals and play the entire intro... just click on the paragraph at the beginning of this version and it'll take you there! Thanks again!
@everycolor77 Haha... that's very true. I try to take any and all comments with a grain of salt and usually respond with either put up, or shut the F#@! up! Show me what you got or keep your hatin', man-pleasin' mouth shut! LOL. Thanks for the thought though... I appreciate it!
@MrCookiemonster01 You're right... he never played the intro correctly, but my current guitarist plays exactly like Eddie. Click on the text at the bottom of the video in the beginning and it'll take you to my current band's version, (ROCTOPUS), which is way better and I also play the entire intro and sing lead vocals! Let me know what you think!
I saw VH twice on the 84' tour and that version was not bad at all lol! I don't know if ed was drunk or what, but he was all over the place. That was pretty good. The funny thing is that I usually cringe when I hear a band do Roth era VH, your singer sounded about like old live DLR lol!
@tacobell5150 Thanks for the kind words! I never saw them with Dave, but will definitely buy tickets when they tour next year! Do me a favor and click on the text at the bottom of the video in the beginning and it'll take you to my current band's version, (ROCTOPUS), which is way better and I also play the entire intro and sing lead vocals! Let me know what you think!
@ArticLight0 Yeah, he never quite nailed it, but you should see my current guitarist play it. He plays everything by Eddie pretty exact! Click on the text at the bottom of the video in the beginning and it'll take you to my current band's version, (ROCTOPUS), which is way better and I also play the entire intro and sing lead vocals! Let me know what you think!
@Inpatientsnake I'm pretty sure you have no idea what the hell you're talking about. Been playing the song for 20+ years son. Click on the text on the bottom of the screen in the very intro and it'll take you to a much newer version of the song performed by my current band where I not only play the entire intro, I sing lead vocals too. Don't spend your life being a hater.
@Inpatientsnake Read the previous comments or my description of the song and find out why I chose to do that, instead of leaving ignorant comments. If you want to see me play the entire song, intro and all... and sing lead vocals on it... click the text at the bottom of this video just like it says to.
@JBL8863 Thank you! Did you happen to click on the link though?! That will take you to the video I was telling you about in the other comment. ROCTOPUS has quite a few videos up so let me know what you think if you have a minute to check them out! Cheers!
@rippervlad Click on the message on the bottom... it will take you to my latest version where I play the entire intro and sing lead vocals too! Hope you dig it!
@EVHStraat11 It actually wasn't meant to be exact in this performance of it, drum-wise. I used the sample in the intro to add a little of AVH in the song and extended the intro a bit, brought it down dynamically and then kicked into the groove. Do me a favor and watch the video again. I added an annotation that will direct you to a version where I play the intro in its entirety AND sing lead vocals on it. Let me know what you think of that version!
@corsar88 Thanks so much! I actually think I do it better these days, with my current band... ROCTOPUS! Check it out... it's on my page. I play the intro and sing lead on it too! Cheers and thanks again!
@TheTon316 Thanks for the kind words! I'm actually partial to the one I play now with my current band... ROCTOPUS! I play the entire intro and sing lead on it too! Check it out... it's on my profile page or just put Performed By: ROCTOPUS in the search and all our vids should come up!
@FDSeeker111 Thanks mate! You'll probably really dig the version my current band, ROCTOPUS plays then... I sing lead vocals on it and play the entire intro! Cheers!
@Syn5Gates Aww man! No need to do that! Just keep on jammin' if it makes you feel good! It will show in your playing and before you know it, you'll be playing things you never thought you could!
@idonotendorsethisnam You can! It only takes time and dedication. I've logged thousands and thousands of hours over the 35 years since my introduction to the drum.
@stupidjerk42094 Thanks! This is actually a former band and this video is years old already. Check out the version my current band, ROCTOPUS plays! It's right there on my page. I play the entire intro and sing lead! I like that version MUCH better personally.
@HOCKEYRULES35TIMES Hey, thanks! Alex is the man! Check out the version my current band, ROCTOPUS jams... I play the entire intro and sing lead on it too!
@YoungYakkz Thanks for the comment! Check out the version on my page that my current band, ROCTOPUS plays and let me know which one you dig more! I play the entire intro on that version AND sing lead!
@MatthewThornton89 LOL... fuck right off bro! I'll say this one more time. I used Alex's original intro to pay him homage, since he is one of my favs. If you want to see something not many drummers can do, check out the newer version my current band, ROCTOPUS performs on a nightly basis. I play the entire intro for those who can't understand my adding a piece of the original track into my version, and I also sing lead vocals on it. So get off my case beeotch! =OP
@drumbasher Do people not read the previous comments or something?! As I stated numerous times... the sample was to add a little bit of the original into my version. I'm a HUGE VH fan and I melded Alex's intro with my taking it over for this band. If you want to see something you've never seen before, check out my current band, ROCTOPUS' version. I not only play the entire intro, but I sing lead vocals on it. Just search for "Hot For Teacher [Performed By: ROCTOPUS]"
Why is the guitar & vocals downtuned? That almost ruins it. Great musicianship, but come on man. This is why I dislike live versions of songs so much.
@JunkyardWinnebago If you've ever played in a cover-band, you'd understand why you tune down to E-flat, instead of constantly switching guitars just to play certain songs in 440. I've even seen Van Halen play the song tuned down. Hell, Def Leppard plays most of their songs tuned down a half and some even a whole step! Not many bands leave their guitars tuned to E these days. It's just so much easier to tune to E-flat and leave it there. Thanks for the kind words!
@JunkyardWinnebago Notice the description, man. It's ALL about the drums for this video. Premo cover BTW. I love this drum beat and wantede to see how it's done. Thank you Jeff Chomin for the perspective. WA.oooh!!
@kbj42016 Dude... if you enjoyed this version, you should really dig the version that my band ROCTOPUS plays! The same band you saw do the cover of Tom Sawyer. In our version of Hot For Teacher, I play the entire intro and sing lead on it! It's on my YouTube profile page if you'd care to check it out! Or just search for Hot For Teacher performed by ROCTOPUS! Thanks!
@JunkyardWinnebago Notice the description, man. It's ALL about the drums for this video. Premo cover BTW. I love this drum beat and wanted to see how it's done. Thank you Jeff Chomin for the perspective. WA.oooh!!
@yodog678 Hey, thanks dude! That would be me! I bet you'd dig the version I play with my current band even more. I play the entire intro and sing lead on it! Check it out on my page when you get a chance. The band is ROCTOPUS! We have quite a few videos on here actually! Glad you enjoyed the video!
@angryvader Thanks much angryvader! I used to trigger the sample at the beginning to pay homage to Alex, to incorporate a little of the original in our version. With my current band, ROCTOPUS though, I play the entire intro and sing lead! Check it out if you get a chance! Thanks again!
@DrummerboySoto Thanks fellow Drummerboy! Did you catch the version of HFT that my current band, ROCTOPUS plays?! I play the entire intro and sing lead on it! It's a lot of fun and MUCH better quality audio than this version!
@darkiansmith Many thanks bro! This particular kit is my custom Spaun kit I picked up in 2004 right before a national tour with the band I was in at that time called Big Dismal. We were signed to Wind-up Records and Spaun hooked me up with a pretty nice endorsement and the balance was part of my contract! I love this kit! Check it out in some of the Big Dismal videos I have on my page. The one for the song Reality, shows clips from the first time it was ever set up at a show!
@boss2beat Thanks Boss! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I will keep rockin' as long as I'm physically able to and as long as cool people like you enjoy what I'm doing! Peace!
@ItchyGoomie Thanks again man! I'm partial to the ROCTOPUS version, but this band also had a lot of fun playing this song live. Two different versions completely, but both nights are fun memories!
@blinkasto182 LOL... you're a fucking tool bro and you're a child on the drums. You'll never get anywhere with your attitude and personality. You ought to work on changing those now so you can eventually amount to something. Best of luck in getting a life...
@blinkasto182 I don't do the intro in this version ya douche... but if you'd actually take a look at my page or any of the other comments below, you'd see references to a new version of the song by my current band, ROCTOPUS, where I not only play the entire intro--I sing lead vocals on it! Talk shit about that one bro... go ahead and watch it. I'd LOVE to see a video of you even attempting to do either just the playing or the singing. I'm pretty certain you can't do either, let alone both.
@blinkasto182 Aww... are you a hater bro? Well, my response to these types of comments are always along the lines of: either bring it as good or better or just do everyone a favor and shut the fuck up. Thanks for watching!
@FatKidsRuleTheWorld He wasn't the most technical, but he's the only guy I've ever met that can do a kick-up with a Les Paul in hand... can you do that?! Probably not...
@imedina619 Thank you! You'll probably dig the version my current band plays a bit more. I play the entire intro, (I used to speak about the first time everyone heard Alex's intro and just kicked into it after the video above was filmed). 1984 had a major influence on me. VH was and is still one of my favorite bands ever! Anyways... check out my page and go to the Hot For Teacher that is performed by ROCTOPUS and let me know what you think!
@vickieharrisvlh Thanks Vickie! You'll probably dig the version my current band plays a bit more. I play the entire intro, (I used to speak about the first time everyone heard Alex's intro to HFT for the 1st time, and this time, I just kicked into it). 1984 had a major influence on me. VH was and is still one of my favorite bands ever! Anyways... check out my page and go to the Hot For Teacher that is performed by ROCTOPUS and let me know what you think!

@Zingray22j Haha... I'm not sure if you're kidding or not, so I'll save the F#@! you for later! Check out the version my current band, ROCTOPUS performs... I not only play the entire intro, I sing lead vocals on it as well. Bringin' it like that IS my job... Hippie!
Dude!! this is amazing!! keep rockin on bro!!

MatthewThornton89 1 year ago
@MatthewThornton89 LOL... fuck right off bro! I'll say this one more time. I used Alex's original intro to pay him homage, since he is one of my favs. If you want to see something not many drummers can do, check out the newer version my current band, ROCTOPUS performs on a nightly basis. I play the entire intro for those who can't understand my adding a piece of the original track into my version, and I also sing lead vocals on it. So get off my case beeotch! =OP

drumbasher 1 year ago
@drumbasher Do people not read the previous comments or something?! As I stated numerous times... the sample was to add a little bit of the original into my version. I'm a HUGE VH fan and I melded Alex's intro with my taking it over for this band. If you want to see something you've never seen before, check out my current band, ROCTOPUS' version. I not only play the entire intro, but I sing lead vocals on it. Just search for "Hot For Teacher [Performed By: ROCTOPUS]"

@drumbasher Thank you dude! I like that version better as well!

Why is the guitar & vocals downtuned? That almost ruins it. Great musicianship, but come on man. This is why I dislike live versions of songs so much.
JunkyardWinnebago 1 year ago
@JunkyardWinnebago If you've ever played in a cover-band, you'd understand why you tune down to E-flat, instead of constantly switching guitars just to play certain songs in 440. I've even seen Van Halen play the song tuned down. Hell, Def Leppard plays most of their songs tuned down a half and some even a whole step! Not many bands leave their guitars tuned to E these days. It's just so much easier to tune to E-flat and leave it there. Thanks for the kind words!
drummerboyfl 1 year ago
@drummerboyfl Oh, ok, I understand. Keep rockin man! I hope to get my band going soon, it'll be an industrial metal band.

@kbj42016 Dude... if you enjoyed this version, you should really dig the version that my band ROCTOPUS plays! The same band you saw do the cover of Tom Sawyer. In our version of Hot For Teacher, I play the entire intro and sing lead on it! It's on my YouTube profile page if you'd care to check it out! Or just search for Hot For Teacher performed by ROCTOPUS! Thanks!

@darkiansmith Many thanks bro! This particular kit is my custom Spaun kit I picked up in 2004 right before a national tour with the band I was in at that time called Big Dismal. We were signed to Wind-up Records and Spaun hooked me up with a pretty nice endorsement and the balance was part of my contract! I love this kit! Check it out in some of the Big Dismal videos I have on my page. The one for the song Reality, shows clips from the first time it was ever set up at a show!

blinkasto182 1 year ago
@blinkasto182 I don't do the intro in this version ya douche... but if you'd actually take a look at my page or any of the other comments below, you'd see references to a new version of the song by my current band, ROCTOPUS, where I not only play the entire intro--I sing lead vocals on it! Talk shit about that one bro... go ahead and watch it. I'd LOVE to see a video of you even attempting to do either just the playing or the singing. I'm pretty certain you can't do either, let alone both.
