It's played too fast, guitarist doesn't hit the right notes sometimes and maybe vocal seems quite near to the original because of the voice timbre, but guy is starting to choke in the half-way of the song cause of high notes.

Sammy's style uses a lot of chest voice while the singer here uses a lot more head voice that's why he sounds "thin" (like Axl Rose or Sebastian Bach). It's much easier to your voice box to sound thin when singing high notes. But how it fits to the song is a different question.

@@jwc1977 Very rude. DLR is a musical joke. He was a circus performer at best whom Eddie and the gang had to carry. Listen to him strain on the studio version of Dance the Night Away never mind anything he ever did live. If your statement was that the DLR era was a better version of VH I see the argument. They were essentially two different bands with two different messages. But from an instrumental, lyrical and vocal perspective they are not even in the same universe.

Wow! Excellent cover guys! Major respect to the vocalist.

Guys. Eddie Van Helen would be proud of you.

There's a few different components to this cover, so I'm going to pick it apart. Ok, first off. Whoever is in guitar, BRAVO! EVH is often imitated, seldom "duplicated". I think I just witnessed that solo being duplicated. And if it wasn't technically spot on, it was about as close as any mortal can get lol 👍 Secondly the drums are freakin perfect. AVH would be proud. I like the combo of the electric toms & acoustic snare, bass & cymbals. Just like on the original 1986 recording, and Alex's setup for the 5150 tour. The keyboard, and vocals were also amazing. I really tried to find something wrong with this cover, and found nothing! Absolutely incredible job by all! 👍🤘

I love the expressions on Luke’s face while he’s shredding Eddies licks and lead! And Josh is just having tons of fun playing the keys, bass and drums! Rock on boys! 👊

Perfect cover!!! Best cover I've ever seen of the Van Hagar era and best cover I've ever seen without the people having to use the recording of Sammy Hagar's voice!!

Great job by all involved but it makes it that more amazing how effortlessly sounding Sammy is when nailing these vocals (including over and over and over again live), never sounding nasally. One of the all-time greats for sure.

man.. just no words.. infreakingcredible... the music is spot on. One would think its the original recording. Lead vocals are great too, but it is so hard to match Hagar step for step.. Kudos to everyone!!

I'm totally taken aback by your video... Wow! This was one of my favorite songs when I was younger. It was the first song I wanted to play when I was learning how to play the drums. It took me a long time, but I eventually got it. My HS boyfriend and I, together with our other friends, played this during a school event. He had really long, straight, shiny hair- And I, on the other hand, had super short hair. Boy, I miss those days. Now, I'm in my 40's and suffer from multiple sclerosis due to lesions in my spinal cord and my brain. I can hardly write or type, let alone play the drums. That's why I love videos like this one. It feels good to reminisce. Thanks so much for sharing. Sending you positive thoughts of love and support from the beautiful Philippine Islands... Sincerely, Francine Hope Drilon @};---

Many people hated it, but it became a signature for the 5150 sound. I can't imagine songs like "Dreams" or "Why can't this be love" with another drum sound. Those electronic drums back in the 80's were massively used in pop songs and disco from early 80's and they always sounded ridiculous. Alex Van Halen was the only one doing a good job using them in rock music ! I still love (and own) an old simmons e-kit from the 80's, because they are part of history and I'm glad to own one. However, i can say that they often sounded ridiculous. But I loved them in 5150!
