Here ya go - they've got tons of stuff on youtube.

He was good. My hubby plays guitar - professionally trained, so he's usually pretty critical. I defer to him, and he said he was good. Of course, my hubby thinks he could do better
They're called Completely Unchained. Not to be confused with Unchained, which is another one, but not on LI. Make sure to notice the lead singer's nipple ring - that should give you some giggles!

Okay cool. As long as it was not these guys.

Pretty sure I haven't seen any photos with Dave sporting one of those!

OMG - I saw those guys too - just awful!! I went to see them once after Completely Unchained played spammy for the first time. They were so horrible, I went back to the ones playing a couple of spammy tunes!

There is a Van Halen tribute band in the LA area called Atomic Punks... they have been around for at least 20 years, and I know for sure Michael Anthony has sat in with them a couple times, plus I heard that Eddie joined them for a couple songs at a show few years ago

yea - I've seen them on YouTube - they've also been discussed around here somewhere. I think they had an amazing singer who sounded like Dave but who just left the band recently. Unless I'm confusing them with someone else.

Come on out to LI - I'm sure my mom wouldn't mind a couple of extra kids!

We will just hop on our private jet and be over on Friday...is that cool :-) LOL

[Momshell]

This is a better sampling.... not to totally derail this thread, but I'm bored just waiting for tweets!!

[RealTwisted]

I think Dave used 1 or 2 of their members on his solo tours as well... they have had a couple of line up changes through the years

It was the Steal Panther singer and guitar player. They were killer.

Now that's a great tribute - I could close my eyes with a slight buzz and probably forget that it's not Dave. Aren't they out west somewhere?
