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/
@@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.
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.
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..
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!!!
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.
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.
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!!!
Man - This smoked! Killer tune, and well-done by this Crew. Corey sang it the way it should be sung, and John 5 had some killer tone on this. But holy Cow.... was Michael Anthony smokin' it out on the Bass, or what? He sounded awesome on this. I'd love to hear some more....
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!!!
This is an excellent cover of Diamond Dave era VH. EVH, if you're listening, give Corey Taylor a call. DLR can still dance around the stage and twirl his mic stand, but have Corey do the singing.
Since VH wont do a tour with both DLR or Sammy how about they go out with both Sammy and Corey instead. Sam does the Van Hagar stuff and Corey does the DLR years. Now that is something I would go see.
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!!!!
Dann!ok I'm a 50 year old rocker!yes I'm old!V.H. has,always been my favorite band!(im glad Mikey is not with them anymore)! Any how,i try and play guitar,i still suck after 35 years!but I like the new and up coming guitarists!i real like John 5! He's cool and he rocks! But yesterday I was singing this song all day!i hit RUclips and bam! There it is!made my day!rock on!
when Nikki Sixx did some of these shows he went on and on about "the Whisky is my home! it's where my band got it's start! Motley Crue were blah blah blah...! " -- Michael Anthony; 'hold my beer'
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
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😉
VH was never the same without Michael Anthony. Love this version !! They killed it !
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!
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.
That was rad. Corey killed it. Awesome to hear Michael Anthony
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.
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 👍 👌
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

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.

It's the only $300 show I'll pay to see
It's great seeing Fred Coury still kickin' those drums! Rock on, brother!
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...
The DLR imitation is spot on and hysterical!
Fantastic. John 5 crushes everything he does
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? 🤔🤔🤔
Take this act on the road!!!!! Take my money!!!
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!!!
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.
And yes, I could see it, Wolfie on guitar Michael on bass Alex on drums and Corey singing
How great is Cory Taylor’s voice! One of the best live vocalists.
Blew me away how much he sounded like Dave. Awesome
His voice is right for it. Bring him in, and Michael Anthony back.
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
Wow John 5 really hit this. DLR was always great at spotting talent.
THAT.WAS.AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
some of the best dlr singing ive ever heard, he nailed this
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
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!
Hell yeah, Michael Anthony driving that buss!
I love it. John 5 crushes it. Michael Anthony is still a bass beast
John 5 is my man. His solos are spot on! Good to see Michael Anthony. These guys sound good!
John5 is a beast he can play that thing to the T
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 .
Michael Anthony love you.
I'm in tears this is amazing.!
Much love to you Michael God bless.
R.I.P Eddie
John 5 can play anything, he's awesome! 🤘😎🎸
angryheb1 he’s awesome 👏
“Look at all the people here tonight!” - spot on 🤪🤪
There's no Van Halen like DLR's era. And these guys DELIVER!
DAM!! That's What's Up!!! Cory was killing it on the DLR vox.. Fkn Spot On!! Respect \m/
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
Man....Mike is probably old enough to be my dad and he still looks great!
If I may quote the great Wayne and Garth........... I'M NOT WORTHY I'M NOT WORTHY!! Just fucking awesome!!
The singer is awesum
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.
Oh, hell yes! I love how they played it straight, like the record.
John 5 is the best of the best.
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...

Man!!!!!!! what great f. N. Music!!!!!!!!
thank heavens for youtube to share this with the world...
Every time I listen to this video it takes me back to a better time and place. This cover absolutely kicks ASS!!!!!
So awesome to see Michael having such fun playing this song. Like a little boy. Great. And that bass tone😍....
God I love the groove to this song
All stars!!!! I would pay for that concert!
Now that.... was allllllllriiiiiiight.👍👍😬
What a great group of musicians, damn Corey carries DLR vocals to a perfection
Hey Eddie. I see two guys you need to hire.
lol
Hey Eddie, that guy you taught how to play bass is really good
I see 4 muthrfukrs that would be badass together
@@bdb2329 good answer!! Good answer.......
True.
Awesome! Corey is so fucking talented!
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 😉😎
Mikey just loves to play music he is so damn down to earth!!!
❤Happy Birthday MICHAEL ANTHONY ❤
Why have I never thought that Corey Taylor would totally nail this part. He's been everywhere and he still got so many places to go!
His intro Dave-banter impression is pretty spot-on.
They would make a fricking fantastic band!!!!!! TIGHT!!!!!!!
I could never get tired of this. They just nail it! 👍🏻
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Corey is the best!
WOW i would love too see them
I don't care what your day job is...these guys r simpley rock n roll!
Taylor is very good on this one
Thanks for having a camera microphone that isn’t overdriven by high volumes.
The nicest guy in the rock! The best background singer in rock! Man, it doesn't get better than that!
If David could only sing like this. Excellent
awesome. Love Woman & Children First .. this song rocks.. love that bass line.
Just about sheer perfection for a live cover.
Awesome, the king would be proud 🎸😎🎸
Great version
Holy shit Michael Anthony is feeling it you can tell! And who is this Corey Taylor guy! F'n awesome!!!!
Cory Taylor awesome vocals 😉
Dann!ok I'm a 50 year old rocker!yes I'm old!V.H. has,always been my favorite band!(im glad Mikey is not with them anymore)!
Any how,i try and play guitar,i still suck after 35 years!but I like the new and up coming guitarists!i real like John 5! He's cool and he rocks!
But yesterday I was singing this song all day!i hit RUclips and bam! There it is!made my day!rock on!
Dan Smith glad the video made your day , thanks for watching 🤘
More guitar. Nice pull. Always love to see MA back on stage. The nicest guy in the biz.
Omfg !! That was so badass !! Take this on the road MICHAEL !!!
Very nice.
John 5 is one of the best guitarist in the game . Love some j5
You don't realize the difficulty of what he plays because he makes it look effortless. Even Eddie's stuff.
This is really right on. Im not too into John 5. But you can tell its a good combination of guys. Taylor is making me one happy guy with his singing.
Ahh to be in a club in 2020/2021 watching and enjoying this!
That's actually a kick ass line up.
its great to actually hear the bass on this tune. Lol. Michael Anthony is the man
Wow. Nails the Lead Vocal. Fantastic.
Michael Anthony is the GOAT backing vocalist. No one else is even in the discussion.
That was incredible.. now this would be a tour !
I'd pay to see this!
when Nikki Sixx did some of these shows he went on and on about "the Whisky is my home! it's where my band got it's start! Motley Crue were blah blah blah...! " -- Michael Anthony; 'hold my beer'
These four need to make an album
