  • VH does covers better than any band I've ever heard. Everything they touch becomes bigger and better than the originals. Yet, I've never heard a band do VH much justice when being covered.....that says alot.

  • Ilove this, VH paying homage to EVH's hero Clapton. Eddie has said that when he was younger, he learned Clapton's solos note-for-note. I believe iut cuz this sounds great. I have a DVD called Edward Van Halen & Friends. The "friends" were ppl like Mellencamp, Don Henley, Steve Winwood and Bryan Adams. They played hits by each artists & EVH had to be a lead solo to each song. He was ONLY able to sound like himself. But HERE, he did well at copping the Clapton feel. Nice!

  • Just watched Rush do this as well and I have to say....Lifeson rocked the solo harder than Ed. Ed's version stayed close to Clapton's while Lifeson put his own spin on it.

  • Eric Clapton may be God but Robert Johnson wrote Crossroads!

  • With Clapton being his guitar hero, you think he was going fuck this up?? Not on your life...

  • Before i say this i wanna say i like van halen and dont have anything against them but ive heard them butcher a couple of covers and when i clicked on this video i thought i knew what it was going to sound like...to heavy guitar and vocals...i did not see any of that in this song and am liking this version a lot!

  • oh yeah! He nails it, EVH spent his teenage years learning CREAM note 4 note..

  • @scottrap No...he dont play good enough yet for that

  • @superslayerguy Yes your very right. this crap sounds terrible...like they never praticed it one time. I think they try to practice but end up either drucnk or fighting or both.... complete crap really

  • So cool to see Eddie do a Clapton solo as Clapton did it. I expected him to starting squawking and tapping but he went old school and it sounded damn good.

  • Every body is gonna hate me but i have to day this...RUSH DID IT BETTER!

  • Is Wolfgang's bass even plugged in?
