Great stuff!! About 20 years ago, my business partner and I built that big red "R" mic-stand for Sammy and it always makes me smile when I see that both he and the stand are still going strong!!

Saw Montrose with Sammy in the park in North Beach late 72 or early 73. There were about 19 homeless drunks and me the stoner in drizzling rain . Everyone kept asking why are these guys in the park , this is a big time super group.
That sounds killer! Jason's drums sound amazing. Satch has Eddie's sound dialed in, Sammy and Mike you guys are legends as well. Thank you for keeping the dream alive for us fans
That was ABSOLUTE FIRE!!!! Exactly what i was hoping for. Joe keeping the song as close to the original, all while adding that Satch flavor to it. Jason Bonham and Mikey were keeping that rhythm section TIGHT. And Sam, was kicking butt!! Can't wait to see this live.
So happy to hear Joe Satriani play Van Halen songs with Sammy Hagar. Thank you Sammy Hagar, you’re a man after my own heart, and I don’t know why. It’s like a dream come true! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Man I hope these guys make a live album from this tour because they really sound great together makes me miss Ed and Al even more stay well everyone God Bless peace
I actually saw him in the 70’s! Texxas Jam 1979. It was TKO, Sammy Hagar, Nazareth, Van Halen, Heart, Boston, and Blue Oyster Cult..all for 15 bucks! Damn I’m old..but still 17 years younger than Sammy, and look at him! Still Rockin On
What great fortune has come onto Jason Bonham. The man is now part of two of the biggest Rock bands in history. He was in Led Zeppelin for their reunions, and now part Van Hagar's. What a lucky guy! Great drummer, indeed.
Go Joe! Your playing in the spirit of Eddie Van Halen, while still sounding like yourself! And Sammy...almost knocking on the door of 80 and still rockin' strong! Everyone just sounds great1
Hearing Satch with "that" tone is so cool! It's a great blend of his vibe but with a good bit of Ed's sound. Those 3rd Power Amps sound killer...thank you Dylana!
Has the Alex snare sound and the monster drumset. Def homage to Alex which is really awesome. The John Bonham drum head is a nice homage too. This is going to be an awesome tour. Only thing we have left of VH! An unforgettable era of great music. Van Halen was the best ever.
Alex WAS amazing wasn't he? Nobody has ever really gone into depth about that. He was crazy good, Bonham level. Probably because he was apparently a drunk bastard.
@MainPrism when I was a kid (and Van Halen was Van Halen) we all had crappy boom boxes and clock radios (remember those?) to listen on. Now that I have a nice hifi and go back to listen, Alex's drumming is at times astonishing, to the point where you aren't listening to Eddie anymore.
@@Audfile I still have a boom box! Have a clock radio too but it doesn't work so well anymore... I know exactly what you mean! It's crazy how good audio quality is nowadays. I've found myself transfixed on Mikey's bass lines too if I'm being completely honest. Simply an amazing band, that noone will ever top!!!
You gotta give Satch respect for besides his virtuosity, stepping in to play these tunes and being humble enough to do it. Maybe Alex will change his mind about playing again but his bond with Ed is still so strong. I don’t think I could do what Satch is doing because there will always be the naysayers so once again much respect for him. Joe and Ed were definitely my top Influences back in the day but as a guitarist trying to learn Ed’s stuff when I was a teenager I couldn’t do it because I didn’t realize he was a half step down or even somewhere in between. RIP EVH.
Eddie has always given me fits. His sense of rhythm is just so different from mine. I can imitate YJM much easier than I can EVH. My fingers and mind follow the “classical” way much easier than the Eddie way. I keep at it, though. Dallas, TX August 22! Here we go! 🤙🏼
Alex is done. He sold all his equipment unfortunately and has ignored all messages from Sammy and the band. These guys would be worth seeing, though, sounding like this especially. Fantastic.
Fantastic! Guys look well and I'm so happy for Joe. Great place for him to bring all of his talent to bearv and no shortage of fans. God Bless fellas!!!
@@isaiahmarquez9717well put brother lol I heard of a guy with a very similar last name who played with a very unknown band Led something or another stay well God Bless peace
Maybe I don't get out enough, but this melts my face and my heart. Real rock music from a true supergroup! If it sounds this good in a rehearsal, the show will be mindblowing.
God I miss EVH. Even an incredible guitar player can’t duplicate his touch and groove. I absolutely love Joe too. I’m glad they are keeping it alive though. I play VH’s catalog on my guitar constantly as well.
Whomever expects Joe to nail and sound exactly like Ed is a F nutcase 😂 I love Joe's contribution to this constellation! High spirit and energy all through it❤️ The same with Zakk doing Dimebag. Tipping my hat while cherishing old memories from the golden days ❤️🔮🙌🏻
Why is someone a nutcase to think that? I’ve seen guys on RUclips nail Eddie’s tone and vibe better then this. He’s doing some of that typical annoying Satch stuff. Sorry, but Joe ain’t the guy.
@@Mike_Webb78 I get your point, and I agree especially on the vai noise, it doesn't fit in. But Joe can never sound exactly like Eddie because he don't even want to. He definitely got the skills to make a copy but he's old and he got his own stuff. And those guys like Kent Carlevi who make a perfect cover of Amsterdam for example put their whole life into doing one song perfectly at the time of recording and that is not realistic to expect from someone like Joe. Paul Gilbert is probably more fit for that type of stuff. Fffing Nutcase was maybe a bit hard, I change it to Fffing Naive instead 😉
Pumped for Sammy doing this at 76! Glad he looks out for Anthony after all these years too. Yet.. someone very big is missing from this room. I understand life’s gotta go on..just feel so empty now😔
@@jimestooper1480 lol that’s ridiculous. I appreciate the guy’s contribution to the sound of the band and recreating the Sammy era of VH, but no way is this guy as important as any other member of this group, just like VH never had a live keyboard player.
I discovered Joe, Vai and EJ on the same day about 35 years ago and my brain is still reeling!! 🤘 😂😂 Joe man, dude you HAVE to incorporate a drill into this performance PLEEASEE!!
I just saw them in Atlanta and it was an amazing show! The fact these guys are in their late 60’s to mid 70’s is insane! They rocked it out for 2 1/2 hours ❤️🔥
Oh man, I've been a fan of both VH and you Joe for the entirety of of your careers and this sounds friggin' great. Don't let the naysayers get to you. With Edward's tunings and certain inflections played within your style should be something special. I for one will be there to see it. Sounds great gentlemen, go get 'em!
You got me with the Red nails! That ain’t going away in my head for a long time. Friggin awesome rehearsal I must say. Zepp/Van Halen/Joe S/ Montrose/Sammy- mixed in like a mojo. Love it
I saw the show in Tampa, FL last night and they didn’t disappoint. The weather dealt us a blow and Lover Boy cancelled but Sammy and group took the stage and rocked the house!
The Red Rocker, Satch!!(Vai with David, Satch with Sammy=full circle!), Micheal, Jason, the guy on the keys all sound phenomenal together! TOP SHELF musicians on one stage. I definitely want tickets to this tour to experience some of rocks' greatest legends!
We all miss Edward Van Halen, we always will. Although it's nice to hear Van 'Hagar' Halen music surviving in to the future. For those who are 'purist haters', Sammy and Michael is there, and Alex says he'll never play drums again after Eddie's passing. So there you are... Thank you Satch! May the 'Red Rocker' live and keep rockin' on!
Joe is light years beyond anyone Sam has played these songs with besides Eddie. I like and respect him. He's good people. God bless. 🙏 But, it's hard to listen to a song like this without that pocket groove that Ed and Al had. You don't realize how integral it is on even a relatively easy song like Poundcake until it's not there. Then it just jumps right out at you. That DNA, man. It's IN the songs. It's inextricable.
@@jmhutner THAT'S the point. There's easy, and there's Van Halen easy. NOBODY plays Van Halen properly. Wolf did it. He's got the genes and years of grooving with Ed and Al. It's in him. But, nobody else does it right. They get close sometimes. But, you can always hear the "not right" in it. Joe has spent his career being Joe and developing HIS thing. It's virtually impossible for a player like that to cop the feel, swing, and groove of a player like Ed. Ditto for Jason on drums. Both instruments need eachother to do it right. The only two who can nail that groove that makes those songs live and breathe are Ed and Al. That's not an insult to Joe and Jason. It's just testament to how supremely unique Ed and Al were musically. You can't beat brothers.
@@jmhutner No need. I'm sure. The solo is actually pretty easy. I guess Joe isn't trying to imitate Eddie. He's just doing his version of Van Halen, because Satch could easily reproduce the solo. Even the rhythm he's being loose with.
For anybody thinking that this is maybe a little sacrilegious because Eddie is gone, I would argue that Satch is one of only a select few guitarists on the planet who can actually do this timeless VH classic justice using his own signature tone and style. The only thing missing is the “drill-pick” effect that Ed used in the intro..😂😂😂
@@9unslin9erincorrect. Eddie told the story. There was a Makita drill sitting in the studio bc there was work being done. He picked it up and started messing with it and discovered the crazy sound you can get. Gilbert mostly used it for picking anyway, which Eddie never did.
I like that Joe is being Joe…..I wanted this. Not Joe trying to be Eddie, and you can hear he’s not…cause it can’t be done. This is a tribute, and Joe is doing just that being Satch. The only thing…..is….that this is basically Chickenfoot no? One member not there, but Chad could’ve done it too….imho. Not taking anything away from JB, or the others. Man…Satch is Satch. Perfect! Anything less would be unacceptable!
Looking and listening to this after an annoying covid really lift me up and makes me feel if I was 25 again.. A tremendous shot of dopamine to begin the day!!... Thanks to all four and greetings from Barcelona, guys!!

Love how Michael Anthony always looks like he just came in from the beach to just jam!
That's probably exactly what happened LOL
I saw the thongs and thought exactly the same thing.. he seems very chiiled
I am happy to see him smiling again,
🤘 ROCK ON keep it movin at terminal velocity
That's what i was thinking
Funny thing for the LONGEST TIME... I thought the high voice was EVH😂 then I found out it was mike... HE is critical to this WORKING... next to Sammy
Hard to find any 76 year old rocker that still sounds like this.
Sammy must have the fountain of youth water in them Cobo bottles!
Glen Hughes sounds great. Joe Lynn Turner is getting up there...Dave meniketti sounds awesome
@@tttarms1970 Glen does sound good too!
Well put bro they all sound great stay well everyone God Bless peace

Great stuff!! About 20 years ago, my business partner and I built that big red "R" mic-stand for Sammy and it always makes me smile when I see that both he and the stand are still going strong!!
FUCK YEAH and EXCELLENT! 👍

So cool honoring his Pop like that.
@@geraldjuvejr.6171 I met him as well, nice bloke.
Gotta love the edge Joe brings. He honoring Ed while being himself!!!! Can’t wait to see them !!!
they'll be in Virginia in July can't wait
Sammy was singing for Montrose 50 years ago and today still sounds great. They all sound great.
Yeah I love this song wish I could hear Sammy's voice turn up the vocals turn it up
Saw Montrose with Sammy in the park in North Beach late 72 or early 73. There were about 19 homeless drunks and me the stoner in drizzling rain . Everyone kept asking why are these guys in the park , this is a big time super group.
@@arthurmonay3156 now that is cool, thank you for sharing that 😁
In a population of aging singers many of whom don't sound very good, he's a phenom. Mike too, for that matter.
Yep.
That sounds killer! Jason's drums sound amazing. Satch has Eddie's sound dialed in, Sammy and Mike you guys are legends as well. Thank you for keeping the dream alive for us fans
It blows my mind that Joe is only 67. He looks *SO MUCH* younger!!
Dude is 67!?? He has looked the same since the late 90s
The dark lord is immortal
That's ironic......I thought they all looked 20 years older than the last time that I saw them a few years ago.
Mediterranean diet
Joes tone is amazing! Glad he’s apart of this
FUCK YEAH and EXCELLENT! 👍
Real Tube amps will do that for you
Great tone, but the playing and keyboard is not.
'Apart' means separated, the exact literal opposite of what you mean.
@@stevehunt914
Actually “Apart from this”
But I’m sure autocorrect is the culprit not ThePeavey
Sammy voice is unreal at his age ! Blossom music center July baby !!!
Yep seen him there last year too. Was a great party
I'll be there!!!!
Michael Anthony doesn't age. He just becomes more Michael Anthonyer.
Right 😂
Agree! 😅🤘
"Anthonyer." Brilliant comment ;-)
@@CatchersCatchthank you!
That's quite an extensive effects pedal board Joe has in his setup. Jason & Joe are really doing justice on Poundcake. Impressive rehearsal.
Handful of pedals is not extensive. Joe normally uses a pedal setup 4 times that size. New to Joe?
That was ABSOLUTE FIRE!!!! Exactly what i was hoping for. Joe keeping the song as close to the original, all while adding that Satch flavor to it. Jason Bonham and Mikey were keeping that rhythm section TIGHT. And Sam, was kicking butt!! Can't wait to see this live.

Bonham captured that AVH snare sound... gotta give him credit...
He (Jason) did an amazing job with the drums on the sound. Gonna be one heck of a tour. They sound great!!🎸🥁
I can't believe that I saw Sammy in the 80s, and he's still Rockin.
I can’t believe I saw him in the seventies and he’s still rockin!
Seen him when he was with Montrose at Winterland S,F. & He's still Rocking . Sammy, Ronnie, Bill & Denny great band live. R,I,P Ronnie.
I actually saw him in the 70’s! Texxas Jam 1979. It was TKO, Sammy Hagar, Nazareth, Van Halen, Heart, Boston, and Blue Oyster Cult..all for 15 bucks! Damn I’m old..but still 17 years younger than Sammy, and look at him! Still Rockin On
CHILLS!!!!! I’m Van Halen fan from ‘78. As a 58 yo man VH was/is my ❤. Joe Satriani is the man. I’d see this show if it comes to my area
