This, ladies and gentlemen, or whoever you are, gave me beautiful chills of joy. Van Halen and Green Day are two of my favorite bands of all time. To see Mikey jamming with Billie Joe hit a bliss point.
Original Van Halen hits will always be the best.....They just had a rawer edge to them......Unlike the Sammy Hagar bubblegum era that was like listening to The Partridge Family.
I agree with earlier Van Halen having a rawer edge to them but that is typical of most young bands when they are "young and hungry". I know this is an "Alabama vs Auburn", "Michigan vs Ohio State" hot button issue for most VH fans BUT I loved both eras and have the entire catalog, with exception of VH3, which was underwhelming imo. In terms of the music changing between Van Halen and Van Hagar, keep in mind that Eddie wrote most of the music while Dave and Sammy wrote the lyrics. The musical transition was clearly underway while Dave was still in the band in 1984 with Jump. Supposedly, the transition to a keyboard sound, which dominated the 80s, is one of the reasons Dave left VH. So, the so called "bubblegum" era should be more attributed to Eddie than Sammy. In terms of edgy, Humans Being is about as edgy as it gets imo. Even Rush, who were even edgier than VH in the 70s imo with albums like 2112 and Hemispheres, went to keyboard Rock in 1982 with subdivisions.
Wtffff? Which tiki bar? Usually i have them tab. I played my first show being a lead guitarist in almost 15 yrs on 420. Im 31 now, and even though im a late bloomer… im still coming up! 💜💚

Man Michael Anthony has some set of pipes on him. That first note was insane!
F#5 ??
He’s been killing that note for years 🤘🏼
He IS the Van Halen backing vocal sound!
Incredible stage charisma…
you are delusional. he is terrible.
Can’t believe I’m saying this… “Michael Anthony aged the best of all the original VH members”
Certainly better than Eddie at least.
Hitting thar first note at his age is insane!!
Never did I ever expect to see Billie Joe Armstrong and Michael Anthony playing together, this is awesome!
MIKE ANTHONY, THE MOST UNDERRATED ROCK STAR OF ALL TIME!!!
Senior moment... as a Pasadena back yard Van Halen Party goer .. got a little emotional...
that vibe is strong brother
😂😂😂😂

Mikey has and will always be a fan favorite. He care so much about the fans and the VH legacy.
Wow mikey rules. That first vocal was awesome. You rule mikey
Michael Anthony high pitched backing vocals was a instrument in itself and it was the secret sauce in Van Halen
When professional musicians jam...magic.
Well, that was absolutely awesome.
Amaaaaazing moment! I've wanted The Coverups to cover this song for years and they finally did it with Billie's hero Michael Anthony!
I love when rock bands honor / respect each other I think it’s great
Mike absolutely rules.
Rock on, Michael, always excellent.
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 EVH
Wow! That sounded great! Michael is such a talent...
this was totally fun... thanks for posting. Is that billies Park amp?
This is absolutely incredible being a VH and GD fan. 🎉🎉🎉
F*ck yeah!
A long long way from Gazzari's - still got it!!!

Phenomenal great job guys , still gives me gooses . LOVE ORIGINAL VH !!!!!
Thank you for sharing this!!!
Unexpectedly well done.
Momentous occasion. 👏👍👍
Sooo cool, my two favorite bands in the universe combined!!
This is awesome!
最高!!!!!!!!!
The guitar part was played better than when Slash did the same song with Velvet Revolver. Nice job.
Yaaaaaaaassssssss!!!!!! ❤🎉❤🎉❤
awesome
Gr8 Stuff, Guys😎🤘
I would love to see a side project of original music from these two. I think it'd be awesome!
met Mikey in 04 at soundcheck package with The Mighty Van Halen. awesome dude. autograph and chat.
Pretty cool.
Michael Anthony was so screwed over by the Van Halen brothers. Runnin with the Devil book goes into great detail.
great rendition - let's go chicago ! michael's vocals helped define van halen

Excellent.
This is how it's done.
❤Michael est le plus cool ❤
Great vibe, Mike's voice unrivalled, huge brown sound Billy Joe! Well done, Cheers from Italy
love michael´bass lines.....more than I love VH......
Wtffff? Which tiki bar? Usually i have them tab. I played my first show being a lead guitarist in almost 15 yrs on 420. Im 31 now, and even though im a late bloomer… im still coming up! 💜💚
Great opening vocal…
Well if I cant have Chickenfoot, I will take this anyday! 😁
They're touring in the fall. Satch is playing VH.
❤Now Michael Anthony keep the VH Flame❤
Atomic Pop Punk
Need to start you a band michael
What a huge missed opportunity for Van Halen having the lead singers always being the second best singer in the band.
Legend says that if you can catch Michael Anthony, you get to keep his pot o' gold!
Billy Joe Nailing the Guitar parts!!! Michael is a legend!!!!🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
BJA is better than you think.
😂
Michael needs to take over lead singer for Van Halen, I love Dave but he is not as good these days
That guitar player looks like a skinny younger Donald Trump hahaha
The kid needs guidance from the veteran.
No.
Never thought I’d see Billy Joel Armstrong playing Van Halen
