Well when it comes to Michael Anthony playing Van Halen's music he sold all his rights last year he was in the band he was considered a Hired Gun and when it comes to be humble ask him the last time he talked to Eddie Van Halen or Alex we all know who wrote most of those bass lines this should be called the Grab Money tour do you think they got anybody's blessings on this circus basically Hired Guns rip Eddie Van Halen enjoy retirement Alex rip it up Wolfie and Dave is just Dave but I guarantee they have no respect for Sammy the ringleader pass yourself how much money is going to any kind of Charity or benefit best of all worlds and don't say they're doing it for the fans we don't need another Van Halen tribute band I'm so disappointed in Jason disappointed in Joe you had nothing to do with this music take all this effort and ride a hit song stop living off the Van Halen brother's name stay out of Alex Van Halen's wallet what happened to respect honor I can't imagine Ed watching this celebration the MoneyGram sad and they're playing jump ain't talkin about love in Panama a joke Sammy I don't know how you can look yourself in the mirror

@@sonofgunsonofagun2432 Van Helen’s best years financially and hit-wise was during the Hagar years. It’s ok to be disappointed that EVH is gone and Van Halen is no more, but it says a lot about the bitterness in your heart as a fan that you make such accusations. Why not enjoy the fact that live music played and sang by real musicians is still relevant and drawing crowds? It’s a great way to honor your fallen hero. Even Hagar and Michael Anthony miss Eddie and Alex and have said it repeatedly. They miss the good times before some snakes in management came in and screwed everything up. If they can honor Van Halen, can you?

​@@sonofgunsonofagun2432but you forgot to mention that Wolfe had to show Ed how to play his own guitar parts so they could tour. Here's a fun idea, you're gonna love it, go buy a guitar and try to play like Ed, Satch or hell even Sammy. This is not a money grab, this is 4 guys showing love for their friend and musical icon. Satch spent his entire life trying to sound like himself. He does this and the Experience Hendrix shows to show his love for the artist who came before him. Sammy was famous before VH, made the brothers a butt load of money while they were trying to self destruct and went on to make a buttload of money after without them, while donating financial aid to local food banks in every city they play in.

@@mancuniancandidatemJoe was doing versions of Satch Boogie in the 70s according to John Riccio, the other guitarist in his first band. Joe has said it’s inspired by swing music that his parents listened to when he was a kid. But I’m sure a little 70s-era ZZ Top is thrown into the mix as well.

I gotta say, I wasn't too keen on Satch at first, but this feels me with joy.

This is incredible. I have always loved Satch, his skillz, and his music. But now.... I have more respect for him that ever. He put himself into a tough situation, where the Internet Genius Trolls were going to come out, and be all over him. And he's sucking it up - and doing this. I'll forever love the guy for doing this, and giving us (The Fans) what we wanted to see and hear. Keeping this alive! Thank you, Joe. And Thank You, Sammy! At almost 77... the guy is still sounding INCREDIBLE!

Now THERE'S the energy! Satch Boogie was the highlight of the show! 😆👍 I would have paid for a ticket just to go see them play THAT tune.

Mikey again shows 'why' his backing vocals will forever remain a critical part of the VH sound. It will forever sadden me the way he was treated - and I do not have any 'insight' into the specific reasons 'why' Mikey was replaced - but I 'do' know Mikey is a genuinely nice bloke who is so often overlooked when discussing VH - he to me will always be one of 'the' critical drivers of the VH sound.
