On the second listen I legitimately forgot it was you guys and not Van Halen. It's mind-blowing that You guys have the perfect tones and the perfect production/ mix too.
Jacob's got "IT"... he's got the swing, the swagger, and the pure musicality to emulate the great Eddie in a way that often raises the hair on my arms. And... he gets the SOUND, the effects, the tone, the phrasing... and pulls off Eddie's *spirit* better than any other guitar player I've heard. Flange-on, brother! Kudos to Josh for nailing Alex' drum parts ... and for getting a deeper bass thump out of the kick drum!
No f*'ing way!! What!! I'm speechless!! I've watched this like 6 times now. I am just blown away! Sammy doesn't need Ed or Alex for a Van Hagar era tour. Bring on Jacob and Josh!! Eddie's sound from the balance album was nailed in this performance, along with Alex's sound on the drums. Nailed Nailed Nailed... Well done guys!!! Flawless performance! Be VERY proud of yourselves!
Jeez you guys! ... this is incredible. The skill, and RESPECT that you guys have... to just NAIL this song. Just incredible. Super job capturing lightning in a bottle.
Absolutely perfect cover. Incredible reproduction of not just the playing (drummer is phenomenal) but capturing Edward’s tone is no easy feat, the Balance era was a very different, but great era regarding Edward’s sound. It was the era of his first Peavey 5150 amp and guitar. I’m torn between the Fair Warning tone and the Balance. Once again, ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. 👍 🎸
The amount of "homework" done to make this RIGHT is so impressive. I just finished my 8th listen to this upload in the last 2 days. It keeps drawing me back. Jacob and Josh fill a huge void for me. Thank you both 🏆🏆🏆
YES!!!!! That's it! We Van Halen fans need to keep up our love of the music and never forget - I'm going to learn how to play eruption staring tomorrow........
truly a eddie van halen fan and such a great of a performance always you probley make him proud and hopefully he is playing for the angels in heaven R.I.P EDDIE
I long wished that after 1996 Eddie and Alex would just toured with the music. Stop recreating what was with both singers and just do their thing. The music stands just fine on its own. Thank you for showing what could have been. Bravo!!!
Good lord! That guitar tone is amazing! I'm a drummer so it takes a lot for me to notice something like this. Came here from your Dreams cover and I don't even know this song but it sounds amazing! And that Alex Van Halen snare sound is 100% spot on. Great playing and production gentlemen!!!
This is from the era of Van Halen that I had stopped listening to. Never head this song before in my life, but enjoyed hearing you two doing it as my intro to it. Sounded fantastic, as always.
I Fucking loved it!!!! Both of you nailed it! I wish the two of you were able to do the tribute to EVH at the Grammys. Would have been through the roof in comparison to the acknowledgment or lack there of they gave to Ed. Y’all kick ass!
I remember reading an interview with EVH years ago when he was asked his opinion on the fact so many young guitars were trying to sound like him, as in "imitation is the best form of flattery". Of course, Ed being very frank, said he thought that saying was a "crock of sh!t" and that every player should try and be original, rather than copy someone like him. For the most part I tend to agree with Eddie in that area, but due to the fact he is no longer with us, I openly welcome anyone who can play his stuff with the same vibe he had. Jacob my friend, you are the only player that gives me the same "feels" that I get listening to my guitar idol Mr. Eddie Van Halen. Well done!
What a great tribute. Please continue on in the fashion that VH would've done. There's no munudo for that. Ie... KISS. However, their music should remain into the future skulls of musicians to prosper into...like grass grows in Michigan. We're all just gonna be blown away. Great job.
Great cover guys, no easy feat "Aftershock". It's either done this good or it will suck, deceptively complex until you listen to it a few times. Nailed both the drums and guitars. Big fan of the Balance album and Sammy era.
I am so glad I watched a lot of your songs! As an older drummer, my parental feeling would be caution statements... you have real talent and I wish you nothing but success!!!
GODDAMNIT THAT WAS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How the hell does this video only have 45k views? That's criminal. Y'all are insanely talented. Balance is one of my all time favorite Van Halen albums, and this is one of my favorite songs off the record. I would love to see y'all cover The Seventh Seal or Feelin'.
I want a band and I want you guys in it love the intensity from the drummer and the spot on guitar from Jacob only problem is I can’t sing or play any musical instruments 😜
That was excellent! I have goosebumps! You two are both excellent musicians! I hope I get the change to hear you both playing Van Halen tunes like this live someday when this covid thing chills out and we can start going to live music events again. Great job!

👍
My god that tone and playing was fricken spot on for both instruments. I bet most couldn't even tell this would be ed and alex lol

Yess 👍👍👍👍👍
Incredible!! Perfect performance 😁😁
Agree ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
RIP EVH, your legacy will always on all guitarist hearts
Amazing reproduction of Eddie's Balance era tone. Both of you played fantastically.
I listen to this often just because it’s so well done. The tone is dead nuts on.
Eddie's outro solo break for this song gives me chills every single time I listen to it. Congratulations, your playing does as well!
Yup like so many of ed's outro's - Something that isn't talked about enough
Every note struck to absolute perfection
This video makes me realize how Alex is so slick with his drum fills and creativity. Love the tones all over this
Jeez you guys! ... this is incredible. The skill, and RESPECT that you guys have... to just NAIL this song. Just incredible. Super job capturing lightning in a bottle.
Pure awesomeness. I too really dig the Balance-era tone of Eddie's. It was so sonically "full".
That tone... that snare sound... I'm in awe right now.
Absolutely perfect cover.

I DOUBLE DOUBLE that!
I would love to see Sammy and Micheal come sit in with you guys!... Love what you guys are doing. Please keep them coming!
You can’t even tell close your eyes and listen these 2 young guys got it goin on to perfection
Im so impressed!!! Your amazing playing had me singing this badass song out loud. Well done to both of you! I loved it! ❤
YES!!!!! That's it! We Van Halen fans need to keep up our love of the music and never forget - I'm going to learn how to play eruption staring tomorrow........
you guys are spot on-- BEST VH recreation on the web!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This shock arrived here in Brazil, you can bet on it. electrifying! Van Halen forever!
truly a eddie van halen fan and such a great of a performance always you probley make him proud and hopefully he is playing for the angels in heaven R.I.P EDDIE
Absurdly accurate in all facets. Jacob defines extrodinary and takes it slightly off planet earth
I long wished that after 1996 Eddie and Alex would just toured with the music. Stop recreating what was with both singers and just do their thing. The music stands just fine on its own. Thank you for showing what could have been. Bravo!!!
Amazing! My favorite song from the BALANCE album...
Fantastic man 🇺🇸....nice... Van Halen forever 🇺🇸👍😎🇧🇷... Brazil 🇧🇷
AAAAAAAAAH one of my favorite VH songs that I feel Alex kicked ass on the drums!
That was awesome guys! Incredibly accurate!
Awesome job guys....!!!! Bravo, like to see you guys on tour some time, do it!!!!!!!!
Good lord! That guitar tone is amazing! I'm a drummer so it takes a lot for me to notice something like this. Came here from your Dreams cover and I don't even know this song but it sounds amazing! And that Alex Van Halen snare sound is 100% spot on. Great playing and production gentlemen!!!
spot on! The snare sound is perfect Josh
Right on!!! You guys would blow up a Spring Break anywhere!!!
This is from the era of Van Halen that I had stopped listening to. Never head this song before in my life, but enjoyed hearing you two doing it as my intro to it. Sounded fantastic, as always.
An absolutely incredible reproduction of the original! I love hearing this without vocals. Hats off to both of you for a job well done.
Such a thick sound with just one track!
Freeking amazing!!!!
Great cover gentlemen. Greetings from Georgia, USA. 👍🏼🤘🏼
You guys are unbelievable! Outstanding!!
I Fucking loved it!!!! Both of you nailed it! I wish the two of you were able to do the tribute to EVH at the Grammys. Would have been through the roof in comparison to the acknowledgment or lack there of they gave to Ed. Y’all kick ass!
The true beauty of this video is the excellent production quality. The audio sounds great!
Gosh , I have no words .... this is soooo perfect ! The sound, the technique ...everything ... both of you are amazing ! Thanks
My God wow! That's perfect ❤️🖤🤍

Bloody hell. You all captured the proper sound. Cheers!!

Just came across this, was like Dan these guys rocked it. He'll of a job keep on ROCKING!!!!!!!!
That's perfect bros, one of the most perfects & difficult solos from the genius EVH, great underrated song, keep rocking!
É um absurdo como o timbre da guitarra e da bateria estão idênticos a gravação original.
Nice! That solo demanded it's own shirt!
There's no way you caught that with only one watch!
Absolutely amazing 💯
Holy cow guys. It’s perfect. Wish I could get covers so spot on!
RIDICULOUS. guys, this is SPOT ON
Not sure why it took me so long to discover this, but I'm glad I did. This is outstanding fellas. For real.
Nice. You've really dialed in Alex's sound.
James Cross no doubt I never thought no one could match Alex’s snare sound this dude nailed it
This is just amazing! Superb job from both of you!
Stellar performance dude absolutely spectacular you just keep getting better and better love the drums to sounded just like Alex
That snare sound is great!
Congratulations, guys!!! Best wishes fron Lima, Perú 🇵🇪
What a great tribute. Please continue on in the fashion that VH would've done. There's no munudo for that. Ie... KISS. However, their music should remain into the future skulls of musicians to prosper into...like grass grows in Michigan. We're all just gonna be blown away. Great job.
Yeahhhhhh... I love this song. Excellent work guys! Greatings from Brazil
Great job guys - good to hear Hagar era stuff.
STILL enjoying this tremendously! Soaking in all the tones: Bass, drums and of course the guitar! I hope you all will collaborate more!
I forwarded straight to the solo. Loved it. Listened to the whole song. Great!
Great cover guys, no easy feat "Aftershock". It's either done this good or it will suck, deceptively complex until you listen to it a few times. Nailed both the drums and guitars. Big fan of the Balance album and Sammy era.
Best Van Halen covers out there. These guys are simply the best! Amazing tone, playing, detail... Everything!
Sammy wherever you are this is your tribute to Eddie right here.these two have got special talent.
😂
Very very nice! Can you guys do cover of Baluchitherium?
You guys rock! That playin' and that tone are really do justice
I am so glad I watched a lot of your songs! As an older drummer, my parental feeling would be caution statements... you have real talent and I wish you nothing but success!!!
Outstanding
5:04 - Best pick slide EVER.
you nailed that balance tone, gives me chills on my spine
GODDAMNIT THAT WAS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How the hell does this video only have 45k views? That's criminal. Y'all are insanely talented. Balance is one of my all time favorite Van Halen albums, and this is one of my favorite songs off the record. I would love to see y'all cover The Seventh Seal or Feelin'.
I was doing the singing.....great job fellas. Miss the edster.
Excellent!
Wow! That was mighty fine. Nice work, luvin it!

Coisa linda essa música
Absolute Killer playing from Josh and Jacob!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Awesome duo!!!
Pure Gold!!!!
That was excellent! I have goosebumps! You two are both excellent musicians! I hope I get the change to hear you both playing Van Halen tunes like this live someday when this covid thing chills out and we can start going to live music events again. Great job!
AWESOME JOB GUYS 😎🙂!! Well done 👍🏻 😎!!
Great cover! One of my favorite VH songs. Love that solo over the final chorus!
Ten wirtuoz gitary Jakób a także Dżosz czyli Josh są wytrawnymi muzykami. Można słuchać godzinami ich wykonań.
absolutely the best Aftershock cover out there!!! U guys ROCK!!!
OMG!! That was insane! 👏🏻👏🏻
Awesome job.
This rendition is spot on, you could layer Sammy on top of this and it would be indistinguishable from the album version.
Excellent playing !
WOW.. Spot On...
Freaking EXCELLENT brothers!!!!!!
Most excellent. 👍
Awesome!!!!
Listened to whole thing, basically fkn awesome
Thanks guys love it
So good guys! Excellent job!
Perfect everything fellas👍 What would be crazy is to find someone that can sing like Dave and give his interpretation of this killer Sammy song. 😂
