I knew once Michael (while still a member of Van Halen) started hanging around with dismissed Sammy it was going to lead to his dismissal from the group. Ed and Al did not like when you cross the battle lines.
One of the greatest rhythm and support elements in music, too bad the VH children cannot see past their collective ignorance to Michael’s unwavering contribution to the production of the VH experience. Truly a great soul and human. Thank you #8 for crushing a classic VH standard. PDE
They just crushed this! One of my absolute fave VH tunes. John 5...just masterful as always and Corey Taylor nails the vox. And always great to see Michael Anthony getting the respect he deserves...bass and vox \m/
Not stirring the pot - VH being one of my all time Favs - Corey sounded like DLR’s vocals when Dave had studio help . I saw VH in 1978 and again around 1980 then again in the mid 80s. IMO -. IMO - DAVE never sounded that good live -anywhere- other than maybe some laid back acoustic stuff where he didn’t have to belt it out. !! But I get what you are saying. I wish I had been there too. That was pretty darned killer !! Peace - Be Blessed !!
He sounds better than Roth ever did. Corey's a great musician, and his music has definitely had an impact on me. However, I doubt he'd be cool to meet.
@@mikes51501 I know. The guy can sing anything to the point he makes me really want to puke. You would never think it was him after seeing he was in Slipknot, with all the screaming. But this VH song is my favorite of all of their songs and they are all playing way better than the original, even. John 5 is a bad mo fo in his own right. Oland of course, Michael Nthony holds down the bottom end like its nobody's business. Rock on.
Nice !!! But nobody can top the master EVH!!! If it wasn't for ED .... I don't know where guitar would be today.... maybe it would just be stuck in the blue's? 🤔🤔🤔
Damn that lead vocal sounds great! This is one of VH's greatest tunes...pure power blues magic...MA is THE MAN...dude has more success than 90% of people walking the planet yet is the most humble and sweet...how does that happen? Love that guy!!!
Now that ladies and gentlemen is how you break down a Van Halen tune..John V Corey Taylor and Michael Anthony absolutely pay homage to the original... People talk trash about David Lee Roth but he's hard to imitate and Corey nailed those vocals..
God Im in tears!!!! AMAZING!!!! John 5 giving the perfect tribute to our greatest innovator Eddie Van Halen.. Its glorius to see him next to the greatest Michael Anthony the SOUL of Van Halen... I adore it!!!
What is even crazier...I recently watched a video of Corey singing Love Gun at Dimebash and he sounded just like Paul Stanley. Now he does DLR to a T. And John 5 can play anything.
Speechless! And sad...yeah that's it, speechless & sad because I wasn't there for this night at The Whiskey to see and hear some old friends KILLIN' IT!!!
I agree with you 100%, Matt. I’ve seen them (several times) with the original lineup, the Hagar lineup, and finally, the Wolfgang lineup. The worst show (by far) was the Wolfgang show.
Howie S might be just as well , I always catch him in San Diego and can get to front of stage no problem , this time I got to Hollywood at 1 for 7 pm doors , already was like 10 people waiting in line , and assholes kept letting people cut in line , got in fight with fat lady before the show , so yeah sometimes those shows with no special guests are just as good , I got to stage , but way off on the side , usually I’m closer to stage
I love seeing this so much for Michael Anthony. Corey is some screams an squeals that DLR hasn’t hit since 1985… and they played some tunes that havent been heard live since who knows when. of course John 5 is killing it. Damn good….I absolutely would pay to see this.
I was thinking the same thing. Would love to see VH tour again but Dave's voice is completely gone so they can't do it with him. But I want to hear the Roth tunes! Taylor does a great job covering Roth and sounds great!
Bill Hardman Come on there is only one Dave. David Lee Roth is the greatest frontman,showman and entertainer in Rock 'N Roll history. Nobody can touch him!!! Nobody!!! Did I say nobody 😂 😂 Van Halen is Dave,Ed,Mike and Alex period. End of story. Would Led Zeppelin be the same band if the singer from Air Supply replaced Robert Plant? FUCK NO!!!!
HA! What a trip! I've just been revisiting the first 3 VH lps resently( just like hearing them for the first time again!!) This song has been stuck in my head for about two weeks now... Awesome version They would make for an interesting & awesome line up.... Corey sounds like Dave did. Nice lil stumble upon..
Man, VH needs to hire Corey for the singing and just let Dave dance and jump around. This was excellent. My favorite VH song.
Crazy
No Replacing Diamond Dave !!
@@operationtruth288 Dave's voice sucks now. He's my favorite front-man of all time, but his singing days are over. He is terrible live.
@@operationtruth288 C'mon man, Dave is replaceable and this video proves it! Dave cannot sing like this anymore. He's done!!!
Deep cut
Ha, I didn't see your comment and had the same thought. VH needs this guy for sure.
I'd pay to see a whole show of this if they went on tour!
So happy to promote this. I blessed by the music God's today. Kissing the boots of the person who posted this...kiss kiss. 10/10
Hell yeah!
They should really do something together.
Me too.
Right on, Bring these guys as a Van Halen cover band and I'd be there forsure
VH was never the same without Michael Anthony. Love this version !! They killed it !
Class....Michael Anthony,nothing but class n HE IS THE SECRET WEAPON!!!
I knew once Michael (while still a member of Van Halen) started hanging around with dismissed Sammy it was going to lead to his dismissal from the group. Ed and Al did not like when you cross the battle lines.
Totally...sad,petty,bitch ass behavior on the Van Halen's but hey that's how it do..
💯
He’s the special sauce😉
Michael Anthony with those killer background vocals. MAN! Frickin'perfect!
Agreed! Was hoping to hear him hit it harder on the take your whiskey home part tho!
His face should be on Mt Rushmore of Rock
One of the greatest rhythm and support elements in music, too bad the VH children cannot see past their collective ignorance to Michael’s unwavering contribution to the production of the VH experience. Truly a great soul and human. Thank you #8 for crushing a classic VH standard. PDE
Eddie Van Halen says Michael Anthony can't sing, though. or play bass.
@@ocho611 LMAO, that's why Sammy has hung on to him, and won't reunite with the dumb ass VH bros without him...
Came for the John 5 and Michael Anthony, stayed for the Corey Taylor.
Exactly, well put.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
For sure! I didn’t even know who he was until til seeing this. Fantastic!
That was rad. Corey killed it. Awesome to hear Michael Anthony
Best that tune has sounded in years!
For sure
Damn! You ain’t bullshitting! This ROCKED!
Maybe ever.
Man it’s good to hear that.
Michael Anthony is THE MAN!
Dam Mike millions of people miss you. Please make something happen with ed. I he is easy to work with please Mike.
It's great seeing Fred Coury still kickin' those drums! Rock on, brother!
Michael Anthony never gets enough credit. I nominate Corey for the next VH singer. John5 awesome as always.
Oh??! Yes, please
Screw VH. Keep this line-up and tour!!
They just crushed this! One of my absolute fave VH tunes. John 5...just masterful as always and Corey Taylor nails the vox. And always great to see Michael Anthony getting the respect he deserves...bass and vox \m/
Major thumbs up 👍 👌
So nice to see Michael doing this set, Cory sounds like DLR back in the day. Wish I was there.
with a lot more low end punch than David ;)
@@maxmustardman298 And in key
@ Jimmy Lewis xD You nailed that shit on the head!!! What a fantastic lineup. F Van Halen- this line up is better.

He sounds better than Roth ever did. Corey's a great musician, and his music has definitely had an impact on me. However, I doubt he'd be cool to meet.
Corey Taylor can sing anything he's like one of the best singers ever to exist
Man he did all the little things that DLR did on that song as well. Super impressed. All the little nuances of the vocal. So freaking cool.
Corey nailed that shit to the wall that one for sure!!!! Michael Anthony is bad ass, but John 5 is just out of this world, as a player. Amazing

The DLR imitation is spot on and hysterical!
Fantastic. John 5 crushes everything he does

God I love the groove to this song
THAT.WAS.AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn that lead vocal sounds great! This is one of VH's greatest tunes...pure power blues magic...MA is THE MAN...dude has more success than 90% of people walking the planet yet is the most humble and sweet...how does that happen? Love that guy!!!
Take this act on the road!!!!! Take my money!!!
Now that ladies and gentlemen is how you break down a Van Halen tune..John V Corey Taylor and Michael Anthony absolutely pay homage to the original... People talk trash about David Lee Roth but he's hard to imitate and Corey nailed those vocals..
In my opinion David Lee Roth is was and always be van halen.
@@cosmopetrone8514 I concur...
Excellent
How great is Cory Taylor’s voice! One of the best live vocalists.
Blew me away how much he sounded like Dave. Awesome
They ALL sounded fantastic!
some of the best dlr singing ive ever heard, he nailed this
Man!!!!!!! what great f. N. Music!!!!!!!!
WOW i would love too see them
My favorite VH cover band!!!
John 5 is my man. His solos are spot on! Good to see Michael Anthony. These guys sound good!
I love it. John 5 crushes it. Michael Anthony is still a bass beast
Wow John 5 really hit this. DLR was always great at spotting talent.
Michael Anthony love you.
I'm in tears this is amazing.!
Much love to you Michael God bless.
R.I.P Eddie
Holy Sheet! They sound more like Van Halen than the current tour! Great singing from Corey and the rest of the band just kills it!
God Im in tears!!!! AMAZING!!!! John 5 giving the perfect tribute to our greatest innovator Eddie Van Halen.. Its glorius to see him next to the greatest Michael Anthony the SOUL of Van Halen...
I adore it!!!
John 5 can play anything, he's awesome! 🤘😎🎸
angryheb1 he’s awesome 👏
Great version
It's the only $300 show I'll pay to see
Oh, hell yes! I love how they played it straight, like the record.
This is outstanding
What is even crazier...I recently watched a video of Corey singing Love Gun at Dimebash and he sounded just like Paul Stanley. Now he does DLR to a T. And John 5 can play anything.
Speechless! And sad...yeah that's it, speechless & sad because I wasn't there for this night at The Whiskey to see and hear some old friends KILLIN' IT!!!
His voice is right for it. Bring him in, and Michael Anthony back.
thank heavens for youtube to share this with the world...
DAM!! That's What's Up!!! Cory was killing it on the DLR vox.. Fkn Spot On!! Respect \m/
So awesome to see Michael having such fun playing this song. Like a little boy. Great. And that bass tone😍....
I’ll take this over the last Van Halen show I saw...
Matt Prandini No Mike Anthony = Van Halen for me.
I wouldn't because the last time I saw VH was in 1980, Women and Children First tour.
I agree with you 100%, Matt. I’ve seen them (several times) with the original lineup, the Hagar lineup, and finally, the Wolfgang lineup. The worst show (by far) was the Wolfgang show.
@@zombiezilla there old and ...they threw wolfgang in the band...what did you expect....plus DLR couldn't sing to save his life
Hell yeah, Michael Anthony driving that buss!
Now that.... was allllllllriiiiiiight.👍👍😬
I could never get tired of this. They just nail it! 👍🏻
awesome version of agreat song
All stars!!!! I would pay for that concert!
Every time I listen to this video it takes me back to a better time and place. This cover absolutely kicks ASS!!!!!
Man....Mike is probably old enough to be my dad and he still looks great!
Just saw John 5 in Seattle no special guests goddammit still was killer Go Ian Go Ian 🛒
Howie S might be just as well , I always catch him in San Diego and can get to front of stage no problem , this time I got to Hollywood at 1 for 7 pm doors , already was like 10 people waiting in line , and assholes kept letting people cut in line , got in fight with fat lady before the show , so yeah sometimes those shows with no special guests are just as good , I got to stage , but way off on the side , usually I’m closer to stage
Wow, that makes me happy!!
There's no Van Halen like DLR's era. And these guys DELIVER!
John5 is a beast he can play that thing to the T
John 5 is so destined to take his place in history... A great all around player, no style is taboo with him.
Leddy Gee yup , he already plays banjos and mini guitars 🎸 onstage at his shows , incredible player
If I may quote the great Wayne and Garth........... I'M NOT WORTHY I'M NOT WORTHY!! Just fucking awesome!!
They would make a fricking fantastic band!!!!!! TIGHT!!!!!!!
“Look at all the people here tonight!” - spot on 🤪🤪
The singer is awesum
Just about sheer perfection for a live cover.
I love seeing this so much for Michael Anthony. Corey is some screams an squeals that DLR hasn’t hit since 1985… and they played some tunes that havent been heard live since who knows when. of course John 5 is killing it. Damn good….I absolutely would pay to see this.
Ahh to be in a club in 2020/2021 watching and enjoying this!
Awesome, the king would be proud 🎸😎🎸
Great show!
Wow. Nails the Lead Vocal. Fantastic.
Too cool seeing these guys play together. More please!
Sounds great! Gave me goosebumps!
awesome. Love Woman & Children First .. this song rocks.. love that bass line.
This is epic. Corey should get his third gig in Van Halen. He nailed it. Sadly DLR cant sing anymore
Gary Cherone was 3rd guy in VH so Corey would be 4th Singer as long as You don't count Guy that was with VH for 1 Week before DLR rejoined Band .
That was fantastic, made my morning
Corey sounds better at being DLR than DLR does these days.
Not difficult to beat lol... but Corey sounds great!
I was thinking the same thing. Would love to see VH tour again but Dave's voice is completely gone so they can't do it with him. But I want to hear the Roth tunes! Taylor does a great job covering Roth and sounds great!
Also agree. Put him in with MA and the VH brothers and you'd have something.
VH4??? Nahhhhhhh.
Bill Hardman Come on there is only one Dave. David Lee Roth is the greatest frontman,showman and entertainer in Rock 'N Roll history. Nobody can touch him!!! Nobody!!! Did I say nobody 😂 😂 Van Halen is Dave,Ed,Mike and Alex period. End of story. Would Led Zeppelin be the same band if the singer from Air Supply replaced Robert Plant? FUCK NO!!!!
Yeah because Corey's probably 44 and Dave is 64. Dave has a lot of miles put on. Then add 10 more 😉😎
More guitar. Nice pull. Always love to see MA back on stage. The nicest guy in the biz.
And yes, I could see it, Wolfie on guitar Michael on bass Alex on drums and Corey singing
John 5 is the best of the best.
That was incredible. That's about all I have to say. Just awesome.
This is AWESOME!
Please go on tour with this!
This gives me goosebumps...
that is so awesome! Love me some VH and love John 5!
The nicest guy in the rock! The best background singer in rock! Man, it doesn't get better than that!
The best song off the WACF album! John5, this is so kooool!
Awesome work all the way around, the positive comments go on for days. I would check this out in a heartbeat
This 🤬rocks! Sounds like the real song. Exactly. Great job. 🤘👍🎸
That was incredible.. now this would be a tour !
That was friggin awesome
Awesome version.
Holy crap, I would pay a lot of money to see this lineup live. This is beyond awesome.
Awesome, awesome!
Mikey just loves to play music he is so damn down to earth!!!
That was satisfying. Looks like they are having a great time too. Great job by all four of them.
Very Nice Performance.
Biff Malibu in 'da house!
Love John-5's muscular playing! Thanks for posting.
Great video and amazing sound quality. Wish I was there.
❤Happy Birthday MICHAEL ANTHONY ❤
That was incredibly awesome! 👍🤙🤘
HA! What a trip! I've just been revisiting the first 3 VH lps resently( just like hearing them for the first time again!!) This song has been stuck in my head for about two weeks now...
Awesome version
They would make for an interesting & awesome line up....
Corey sounds like Dave did. Nice lil stumble upon..
Corey can sing 🎶 ANYTHING 🎤 🎙 🥁 🎸 🤘🏽☠
That was Awesome !!
This was really good...
