I’ll Wait - Nerd Halen, live at the Whisky 12/23/2023

The Mighty Nerd Halen performs fan favorites the World Famous Whisky A Go Go, 12/23/2023
NERD HALEN IS:
HAL SPARKS, an Actor/Comedian/Host known from shows and movies such as Lab Rats, Talk Soup, Dude Where’s My Car, Queer As Folk and many more. Sparks is the ultimate front man with a quick wit, a voice that truly resembles both David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar delivered with boundless energy.
CALEB RAPOPORT, is a lead guitarist who has the incredible honor of being on the EVH GEAR artists roster! Caleb, who is GIT schooled and a well-known Van Halen aficionado, had the idea to create a unique Rock/Comedy show mixing the high-energy music of Van Halen with downright nerdy, intellectual comedy.
VICTOR BRODEN, a bass player/musical director with a resume that features over 40 major-label recording artists including Dokken, LeAnn Rimes, Little Big Town and Richard Marx among others, also handles the signature Van Halen high-harmonies.
JEFF PAGE, a veteran of the L.A area tribute band scene! Jeff does incredible justice to the almost impossible Alex Van Halen drum parts.
This super group takes themselves as un-seriously as humanly possible while providing many laugh-out-loud moments over the course of the show. As well as maintaining a deadly serious commitment to doing the upmost justice to the original recordings. NERD HALEN has to be seen, and heard, to be believed.

[@osiruskat]

This looks like what would have happened if Graham Bonnet (MSG, Alcatraz,Rainbow) had joined Van Halen.

[@dellcoats4648]

Let’s get nerdy!

[@chadjohnson-authormusician8072]

I can't for the life of me figure out why people are saying his voice sounds like Roth's.

[@mikegill5501]

Yeeah nowhere close to Roth's voice

[@ronskopitz2360]

[@AJ-yi6hg]

Lol did I hear the bassist playing the guitar riff from AC/DC "Thunderstruck" at the very end? 😅

[@superamanda]

JFC THIS IS EXCELLENT ❤❤❤❤

[@jahrah103]

Pretty damn good for a "nerd VH" cover band! At least they're honest and having fun with it!😂

[@bradleystereoguitaramplifi9616]

Great playing! 🎸 Probably running in stereo out of that rack. You should try taking two more cabinets and splitting them on the other side of the bass cab. This provides a much fatter sound across the stage and out into the crowd, which I find is much more enjoyable for both the band and the audience. It makes all of your delays and time-based effects really pop. And if you could possibly run wet dry wet you could put the center dry channel cabinet close to the drummer for his listening convenience. Just a suggestion.

[@johnprantera4829]

Yes

[@petemcgaha1133]

Damn this is good stuff. These dudes rock pretty good

[@rebb6160]

I'm a Fan

[@chadjohnson-authormusician8072]

2:51 - LOLOL ... how funny. As he leans in to the girl to sing "her eyes don't follow me." Neither did the girl's ... she was swiping her phone. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mjh5437]

Quite sad really.

[@petewarrell3734]

Cool comming to Toronto?

[@davidfrost582]

Excellent solo. Kept the classic studio version, but threw in his own style.

[@raisedonradio8061]

That is dang good. Singer sounds much like Roth. Guitar very good too. 👍

[@chrisfortun]

?

[@claudemcwhorter]

Band is Great but the Vocalist voice is so good and Strong, like Dave's was

[@kausikghosh9968]

Reminds of Eddie & Roth days unlike Samhalen but it was the coolest days

[@erichhitchcock3368]

I lasted 32 seconds.

[@nerdhalen]

Gross.

[@Slickmickyoyo97]

Drummer, get some roto toms my man. They're cheap, any song from 1984 needs them..other than that great job.

[@GenXSkeptic]

Umm, NOPE

[@richardkeller4193]

Stole the idea from Dread Zeppelin.

[@nerdhalen]

They over I'll Wait?

[@mjh5437]

I was quite enjoying this until the totally awful guitar solo which only underlines what a magician from another planet Eddie was.

[@nerdhalen]

😂

[@joerich1629]

Maybe spend less time on dumb gimmicks and more time practicing.

[@nerdhalen]

You seem sad?

[@solidgroundmusic]
