99% of the people in that building , do not have clue...…! of how much of a Musical genius this kid is...…….Just in La La land drinking a beer....Also HUGE Credit to the drummer and Bassist, Keeping the Rhythm deep in the Pocket.
That's what I was thinking. Yeah they have no clue it's something I don't I would not be able to do or I don't understand how can they do it I'll never be able to do that they look bewildered it's too much for.. it's brain overload so they sit there like a rock
So freakin true….I’d have sh1t my pants if I was in the crowd and I watched him not only NAIL ALL of Eddie’s playing, but freaking sing at the same time. He’s a monster musician!
Everything this guy plays is spot on. I would love to see him and this band play live. The drummer is awesome too. Singing while playing is tough. Singing while playing Eddie is at a different level!
Look! I am the number ONE music critic,,,, in my own mind (which i hold in high regards), especially Van Halen covers. I have been watching Josh the drummer for years and he NAILS the VH covers and now this guy NAIlS it on the guitar along with singing at the same time ???? FUCKING phenomenal!!! GREAT GREAT JOB!!!! If you guys get a gig in Arizona,,,,,,,,, I WANT TO BE THERE!!!! Let me know
I watched some of your videos of you in the bandana doing covers years ago and decided to watch something recent before commenting but I’m glad to see you dropped the gimmicky kind of look and are now more like yourself than a try to be like evh copy. Hats off to you.
I don’t think the girl in the Van Halen shirt even knew what happened. Anyone can do a cover of a song, but very few can capture the essence of it and the impact it had, beyond just how it sounds. This is a very worthy tribute to Eddie and his legacy. He would be proud.
I havent seen any other guitarist except Phil X cover Edward as well as this young man. He has the swing the rhythm and the chops that gets pretty close to what Edward had.
Brother Jacob. You most definitely perfected Eddie’s fire for sure. Not only do you have his technique and intensity locked down but you have captured and executed his love of the instrument. Been a blast watching your videos bro. Good luck in the future!
Damn Jacob and Co. Jacob especially, bro you have Eddie down, tone check, licks check, groove check. You guys as a band are solid as well. By far the best VH cover band Iv'e heard, and your original stuff definitely reminds me of vintage VH. I have been watching you since you were making videos in your house and was blown away then. I hope you guy's go far man!
It is the first time that i see a Van Halen cover with a guy singing and playing the guitar!!!!! And man! performed just perfect! Too bad that the place was not really the appropriate one.
Absolute killer Deraps!!!!! Miss one thing? Echo and reverb on your guitarsound! ( stereo) Believe me it will come alive ! But great great great topjob! Respect!
Nice man....was just practicing that one. Kudos to be able to sing it and play it at the same time. Tough one! Nice job....you need a better crowd though. Too dead that lot.
I seen a lot of guitarist do this song..Including me..He nailed the solos like the album..Very skilled guitar player..And lets not forget the heart beat of the band Josh Gallager..
Man nobody does a better job of van Halen than this guy man.. . . I wish Wolfgang would talk to Alex and say .. Hey man this guy has passion for my dad's music ... Can we get him in to play with us.. . It would make his day and show him all Eddie's house and really history museum.. .dont let the music die.. .make a new song with alex Wolfgang jam. ..like man that's a great idea man... Eddie would be looking down saying awesome on it... . Alex shouldnt give up on music . He should say ok kid .. heres a plane ticket to la ... let's see how much my brother really inspired you .. bring it .. .
Damn Jacob. How old are you now ? I agree with the other poster that you have come a long way in the last few years man. Great playing, stage presence, vocals coming along. Drummer sounds excellent too ! Good luck in the future dude. You make us old guys proud !! Lol.
Is it wrong that I actually prefer Jacob’s voice of DLR? What a band and what an amazing cover, everything is absolutely spot on as far as I’m concerned - it doesn’t get any better, absolutely superb! Well done! 🤟🏼🎸
Fucking awesome! you totally get it! about eddies early tone....it's All Balls Plexi with minimal gain...Good job..Hopefully Eddie will see this and get his sound back....this tone you have was his Diver Down Live sound too..Where Have all the Good Times Gone and HangEm High!!! give that one a swing live
Coming from a MASSIVE Van Halen fan, you guys are better than Van Halen. Great skill playing Eddie for sure, and while singing. Drummer is fucking perfect. And KICK ASS scream at the end. This sounded as good as VH did in the late 70s, early 80s.
Good job, bon groove, ça fait du bien de voir un power trio en 2018.....mais expliques-moi pourquoi tu animes en anglais au Québec (spécialement en Beauce)! Ça fais Elvis Gratton un brin! Sans rancune!

You can say that again this kid has been blesses with pure talent by God.
That's what I was thinking. Yeah they have no clue it's something I don't I would not be able to do or I don't understand how can they do it I'll never be able to do that they look bewildered it's too much for.. it's brain overload so they sit there like a rock
Well said. You know it. kind of sad.
So freakin true….I’d have sh1t my pants if I was in the crowd and I watched him not only NAIL ALL of Eddie’s playing, but freaking sing at the same time. He’s a monster musician!
In my town there are lots of great cover guitarists like this around but none of them can write a catchy tune or have an original style.
I think that I would pass out if I saw this song being played in a club!
same😂
Whole band is tight as f*#K. Awesome job. Kid nails the notes, the vibe, the tone - much respect.
What gets me is he NAILS that EVH "lickety-split shuffle" that nobody out there can seem to recreate.
Everything this guy plays is spot on. I would love to see him and this band play live. The drummer is awesome too. Singing while playing is tough. Singing while playing Eddie is at a different level!
wow, he’s doing eddies amazing guitar and daves vocals, incredible !!!!
Really great cover. Not easy to sing and play those infernal guitar parts at the same time. Everybody can feel that you really love VH ;)
This guy is freakin amazing!’
Look! I am the number ONE music critic,,,, in my own mind (which i hold in high regards), especially Van Halen covers. I have been watching Josh the drummer for years and he NAILS the VH covers and now this guy NAIlS it on the guitar along with singing at the same time ???? FUCKING phenomenal!!! GREAT GREAT JOB!!!!
If you guys get a gig in Arizona,,,,,,,,, I WANT TO BE THERE!!!! Let me know
I see not one person in that crowd appreciate this guys talent or even know what this classic VH song is.
Holy Mother Of God !!!!! Plays like Eddie and sings like Roth. Why is this guy not more famous ????
Insanity!!! Bravo!! You've nailed the EVH "Brown Sound" like no other!! Standing O!!!
You have come along way since that basement room....I believe this kid is going places...you gonna know his name. Time for a stage name

I think Jacob Deraps is good enough 😂
Do they know how badass this is? The crowd. Excellent man.
I watched some of your videos of you in the bandana doing covers years ago and decided to watch something recent before commenting but I’m glad to see you dropped the gimmicky kind of look and are now more like yourself than a try to be like evh copy. Hats off to you.

Holy shit!!! takes serious balls to pull off EVH and DLR... Live too!!... Great job!!
Damn that was awesome!
HARD TO BE THIS GOOD LIKE THIS BAND NOWADAYS
I havent seen any other guitarist except Phil X cover Edward as well as this young man. He has the swing the rhythm and the chops that gets pretty close to what Edward had.
Yes! You are the One!! 🤘🎸🎤🎶
Brother Jacob. You most definitely perfected Eddie’s fire for sure. Not only do you have his technique and intensity locked down but you have captured and executed his love of the instrument. Been a blast watching your videos bro. Good luck in the future!
This band is SO TIGHT and spot on!!! Astonishing performance!!!!
Keeping classic rock alive and well ! Nice !

Great playing! And great camera work, I love how you had the perfect angle but chose to go behind him for the guitar solo that was a great choice 🙄
Commendable
T'es génial
