[DONNIEP]

Get a load of these freaks...

That is shit.

Where the hell do these guys find those sequined robes? I gotta get me one to wear to church!

[ELVIS]

This one is pure entertainment...

[mh5150]

Just for that...

That singer should be in a Iron Maiden band

Damn, fast forward to about the 50 minute mark of the Fan Halen vid, On Fire. Even Elvis will have to admit it sounds fucking awesome...

It would sure get the attention of your congregation when you gave your sermon.

I'm just jerking your chain. Wait...that's not your chain...

Come out wearing that robe, with On Fire blaring in the sanctuary. Man, we'd break all the records for highest offerings of the week!

Cover bands do some respectable efforts in order to try and imitate real artists. I sincerely admire that, but don't think they're necessary at all.
Covers should be just scattered here and there among a majority of self-composed stuff in a concert setlist. As far as grown-up bands I mean.
That said, when covers are played with another sound and approach that are the covering band's own, when they're played differently and offer something more than the original song (that already exists and doesn't really need duplicates), then it's really worth it IMO.

Congrats to Fan Halen, for covering VH is a most hard and ambitious project. I just hope they also play their own songs in other circumstances.

Hahahahahaha...

There are still a lot of people who want to see and hear the old Van Halen songs the way they remember them. And this is about as close as you can get these days, aside from sitting in front of your TV watching the same old scratchy boot over and over again. Besides, this stuff was just mean to be played live. And at least the guy singing ain't trying to emulate Dave's current amazing singing style. Or hop around wearing a retarded wrestling mask hahaha.

[ELVIS]

C'mon dude, he looks worse than Dave in a mask...

Ten times worse...

I cringe watching this kind of garbage...

They do sound OK, but the look thing is ridiculous...

Van Halen never looked or acted like whatever it is these guys are doing...

It discredits the original, IMO...
