    Ya know... I gotta say, even with some of Mike's occasional tone deafness peppered throughout, this actually doesn't sound half bad. His playing's pretty tight too.

    Awesome bass and nice lead break...

    Anthonys vocals only sound in tune in his super high range...

      Good point. Very little control of his mid range.

          Not bad, cool bass work, and the dude does a good job with the solo...

            Hagar had difficulty singing Dave's tunes, too - it was too out of the normal range he sang in, so he could never do 'em. Listen to him trying to sing ATBL or Panama (if you dare risk your ears) - he just can't convey the essential Daveness that is the character in DLR's voice. The phrasing, the little vocal touches and ad-libs.

            People who equate singing with castrato wailing or that awful warbling that seems to have beset a generation of so-called 'R'n'B' singers, would probably denigrate Dave's voice, but I've never heard anyone cover a Dave tune and sound right - whereas, Dave has always pretty much put his stamp on any cover tunes he sang.

            You can go on all day about range, screaming, octaves this'n'that, but in the end the most distinctive and durable singers are more noteworthy for a voice that conveys who the fuck they are. No one rags on Billy Gibbons voice, cos that who the dude is. Same with Dave, and Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and other 'bad singers'.

            Still, i'm not griping about the clip - that was a good effort and good playing by MA. VH worked in large part because his vocal abilities complemented Dave's.

              Agreed. Of all of the 80's rockers that pitched in for a VH tribute CD, I thought Joe Lynn Turner, of all people, did a fair job with a Dave tune. Kinda cheese whizzy, but not too bad neithah.

                Seriously. Sammy can't win. Even his own guitar player would most likely rather be playing VH than Mas shitty Tequila.

                  On the Sam and Dave tour I thought snow and heat miser got together. You had Dave with his bleached white hair in his blue spandex and then you had little short Sam in his red outfit. I was expecting to see Mrs. Claus fly in looking for a sick reindeer.

                      I've had a long weekend of watching CVH and solo DLR boots and can't understand the "Dave sucked live" attitude that seems to prevail on the internets. He was certainly not any worse than most classic rock acts of the day. I actually came away thinking Roth sounded pretty damn good for the most part (other than maybe the US Fest, where he was gloriously, drunkenly shaky).

                        If nothing else this shows that Mikey still wants to play Van Halen tunes. Now if Ed would just get his head out of his ass...

                          Looks like Vic the Busboy has learned how to play Ed's stuff better over the last decade or so. He stumbled all over the Van Hagar material on the Spam & Dave tour.

                            I did try Mike's hot sauce. It's good. It's thick and has a lot of flavor. Kind of the sauce you can put on everything actually. I haven't tried the extra hot. His BBQ sauce is good too.

                              I think this is the first comment I've ever seen on Mike and his sauces that wasn't about making fun of Mike and his sauces.
