    Billy is incredible - that tone is totally him as it always is - Nuno is great as he always is too!!
    Mike Portnoy is the best drummer around. He has always had a high level of admiration for Van Halen and Alex especially - this is a great performance by three of the best musicians EVER!!!

    And people say Diamond Dave couldn't sing. He was actually a great singer.
    Their first Era will always remain the best and most influential and ground-breaking, with an impossible to beat lineup and the music to prove it.

      I totally agree @MrDantres! As for what @wob6776 is referring to…there some early, early videos of Van Halen playing very small dives, sounding like crap. If you pay attention, Eddie was the biggest issue, Dave was just clowning (entertaining) the people, but still singing okay. Eddie was finding his own style during that time, trying different things in a live setting. His covers were terrible tbh, and I’m a huge fan of his, but he was apparently having some bad nights, and/or had yet to find himself.
      They didn’t auto tune or over produce back then. If you saw them live back in the day, and I did, they were great live and Dave kicked arse. Regards my friends, just one old man’s thoughts.

    I first saw Nuno when Extreme promoted their 1st album and came to The Marquee in Westminster, CA. on April 6th, 1989. My buddy played keys and rhythm guitar for a band called HotBoxx and opened for Extreme.. Here is a link to a recording of that show... I already had the CD but to see them live I was completely blown by how fucking good the guitarist was.. I remember looking over at my buddy and saying this guy is incredible (fucking insane was more like it), he going places for sure, I wasn't sure about the rest of the band at that point but I knew Nuno was going somewhere and going to leave his mark and what a mark he has left!

      Good call. It’s not swinging. It’s technically “right” but doesn’t have the power or swing of Alex.

    • @markgrant1302
      @markgrant1302 6 месяцев назад +3

      People tend to overlook the obvious, the music of Van Halen was 80% the Van Halen brothers. Eddie set the groove and Alex completed it. That is the rhythm section of Van Halen... Alex was the rock solid backbone of the music... How many drummers can even rap their heads around playing to the guitar and laying a little behind the beat, let alone do it as effortlessly as Alex did. Both Eddie and Al made it look far simpler than it ever was.

    It's times like these when you realize how it always comes down to Edward's hands. Everything he did was in his fingers, brain, and soul. This sound good...but seriously lacks the feel Eddie had...also, Nuno as gifted as he is totally did his own solo because to try and replicate an Eddie solo is damn near impossible. You hit notes bit you can't get the swing and feel he played it with.
