You're spot-on Bro. This one is just an unbelievable piece of music, and song-writing. This song changed everything for me. 5150 changed everything. And this was my favorite tune off of it. Probably my favorite song of all time. What Edward came up with here, is just mind-blowing - still to this day. Rock on Bro.

RIP Eddie. Your music goes on. Excellent cover.

Natural talent. Playing the guitar is like breathing for you. You make it look too easy.

Agree with you

I still find it hard not tear up when I listen to anything EVH. That solo was on point. Same with the end solo. I'll keep coming back.

Fav Era of VH

Being a musician, and doing it professionally we notice the talent in other players and notice the not so talented and critique. I've had the privilege of traveling all over this wonderful world all while playing music, so I seen many of the best players in person. I'm now including you on my personal favorite guitarists. Not just because you're talented with your playing, it's that you have technique correct to the way it's composed. Yeah could shred and change things on the fly, lots can. But doing covers accurate and tasteful, that's why I would put you on the list

I agree entirely. Love listening to your stuff. Sammy Hagar, are you listening???

This song always reminds me of just how happy and how much I enjoyed the power rangers movie as a kid. Rest in power Jason David Frank. Gone but most definitely not forgotten.

Now that EVH is gone...my soul just hurts. I'm not really knowledgable in music. But I grew up with him. Just a huge fan. I always LOVED this song. So inspiring. And Sammy is great on vocals.

WOW......Thanks, buddy. Made my day !!!!!!! R.I.P. Eddie. Gone, but NEVER to be forgotten.......

Eddie's death took a huge chunk out of mine and my son's lives. Your cover gives us hope in a cruel and unforgiving world. Thank you.

Ugh I know, I was devasted when I heard he passed. It's so weird to think, people all around the world are so sad to hear when a celebrity dies, such as Eddie, when they barley know the person in general. Random thought there, lol. I guess that just proves how talented he is! I hope I can tour around the world one day, like he did. That'd be cool.

Dude that's fucking awesome! Sammy's voice is incredible on this track. I've covered some hagar vocals but this song jumps out of my range at least 3 times.

You know the EVH rhythm. Few people know that. Wow, bro. 👌

The beginning of the Song is so powerful Your Jackson screams ... Very special and wonderful Cover

BEST GUITAR COVER KZread

I also have to say, Eddie has done some of my favorite guitar solos in rock in the whole of the 1980's! They have a "wow"quality that is uniquely his and always blows me away. He is one f*** of a player! 😀😀

I like the second turn of the intro and after solo when you switch the keyboard chords. As always awesome!

There are a lot of covers of this song on YT. This one is my favorite because you play the keyboard chords instead of constantly barre chording through the verse and chorus like everyone else. It sounds much fuller and brings it to life. I don't think Eddie even did that live. The effortless but restrained wizardry is also inspiring to watch! Nice Job!

I often wonder if guys that play like you so effortlessly, went through the same obstacles that the rest of went through, like getting your fingers trained to for a G-chord or D-Chord, or did your finger just automatically feel comfortable in those positions. I remember when I first started playing, dang near forcing my fingers to form a D-Chord, and G-Chord, then moving from those 2 positions back and forth for what seemed like hours before It felt comfortable. F-Chord still doesn’t feel as comfortable as it should. Anyway, great playing.

That is so incredibly solid. Eddie is a hard artist to replicate and do justice to, but you did amazing. Just goes to show how good the top rock guitarists really were when it leaves you with calluses.

this channel makes me wish i had a super strat

One of the best Eddie's composition!!! It's simple amazing, congratulations, u r a great guitar player

I ve Always loved this track.

Beautiful . I love that song, you play awesome congrats

Great job again! Love this cover👍👌

love it man & great job ! hearing the original play in the background with you playing just added more to the gutar i loved it., Eddie was my favorite guitarist the reason I became obsessed with guitar, this was my favorite van halen song even above any David songs, mainly due to Eddies mastered art of guitar in every song but this specific song even the harmony has a meaning behind it. it suited perfectly for the ending of power rangers back in the day. seeing this makes want to pick my axe back up. been listening since I was young and in this song it still hits me hard when sammie sings out "because we belong in a world that must be strong" those words will always be true.

Always been a fan of Van Hagar over the Roth stuff. Much more melody. Another brilliant cover! Oh, and spot on about Hagar's vocals here. Totally just screamed (in tune) his ass off, and the passion is infectious.

This guy can play...I think I have watched every cover because Def Leppard is my all time favorite. Very very talented and I wish I could play 1% as good so I have nothing but praise for his awesome talent. And with a lot of these covers u can't necessarily find them on KZread so he is figuring it out on his own. Heck, half his Def Leppard covers I am guessing Phil doesn't remember off the top of his head how to play himself...
