    Holy shit. This is BY FAR the best Van Halen tribute I’ve seen since Ralph Saenz left Atomic Punks to start Steele Panther 🤘💯

    Is that Michael Starr? ;) Good job! Texas must be the epicenter of tribute bands. I'm not complaining. Sounds good! I miss this era of music a lot. Just wanna say! I saw a Judas Priest tribute band in Ohio many moons ago. Can't remember the name maybe "Hell Bent for Leather"? The opening band was "Winter's Bane". Their lead singer was Tim Ripper Owens. We all know that story. You never know whose watching!

    The Guitarist is on point here. The tone is fabulous! stage presence could use some whacky faces or something to lighten his approach. But his improv and interpretations are spot on. His skill has no questions and no doubts. He's a pro! The main thing is that he has a natural sense of rhythm. That guitar swag if you will. So even he if he hits the wrong string or fret, it's not that noticeable because it's all in rhythm and he does it with a bit of flare. If he tweaked his stage presence he'd be a flawless candidate against the original. Good freaking work guys!

      That amazing praise, thank you so much! Eddie smiled the whole time for sure and made some silly faces, it’s just un-natural for me because I’m such an introvert. But we’re a brand new band and I’ll get there eventually. Thanks again for the kind words and spot on constructive criticism!

      @@theguitarram-ramironoriega9097 If I could share with you that when I was young I was a big introvert. I guess deep down naturally I am. Every time someone said, “hey man wtf?” I would blame everything on my genetics or personality, thinking, “it’s just the card I was dealt man. It ain’t my fault!” And then one day I got sick and tired of the results I was getting. Why me? Right? Someone much older than me sat me down and explained , “look man, fans……you know people…..they only react to what is natural. It’s like a computer. The buttons you push is what you’re gonna get. It’s that simple and no other way around it.” At that point I really didn’t get it. Besides I wasn’t going to kiss ass! Right? I wanted to be me and not change for a crowd. Ya know? Us artists have to express who we really are. Right? Eehhh not so fast. Well, fast forward 27 years. I guess something clicked. I went through some shit! Life! But I finally realized that who I am is who I decide to be today. Whether we’re conscious of it or not, our personality changes and morphs without our consent as the days and years go by, changing the brains physical wiring in a process called Neuroplasticity. If this is true, which I can attest to. Then that means we can also change change it from sheer will. So in essence if you want to be that person who has more stage presence. Then simply “be it”. Find some guys whose stage work you like and blend and copy. I assure you that they did the same thing. Keep in mind It’s a show that people pay to see. So why not give them the best show possible. Always remember that being on stage is three fold. There’s the obvious skill. Then of course there’s the emotional resonance. But one factor that most pro’s miss is the aesthetics. IOW’s the act! Being on stage is also acting. And when pro’s implement this into the show that’s when their audience doubles or triples. If you did this with the level of prowess and skill that you already have? The sky is the limit brother! Happy trails…..

I have to wonder if dave ever remembered all the words and sounded that good. I saw the 1984 tour and they were on point but i heard dave wasn't always smooth in early album tours. I would pay if these guys came to Boise.

    As a 55 year old guitar player and a huge VH fan several things amaze me. 1. After all these years so many tribute bands. 2. Many of them are tremendous musicians and can copy them very well. 3. All the singers are exactly like DLR, in other words can’t sing for shit or count. 4. None of them have the groove or synch or rhythm like the mighty VH.
