New 3 hour High Definition audio/video recording of Van Halen tribute band Fan Halen

[thismusicsux]

I have to disagree with the onstage antics of DLR & EVH wasn't an act. 98% of every live Van Halen performance was choreographed, planned and even practiced down to which joke and punchline were delivered between the same song break nite after nite..

Even though the CVH tours were fairly scripted (mostly Dave) and didn't change much from show to show, there was still an authenticity to it and it was their real lifestyle no doubt. No acting. I wouldn't say it was choreographed or forced, but was well 'rehearsed' and definitely mind-blowing.

When doing tribute bands these days you kinda have to do the act. although it can be hard to take at times. And especially w VH it's very hard to replicate the act w/o coming off cheesy. But whatever...

I saw Atomic Punks w Ralph about 4 times. Still think he does the best DLR and hard to top them. They mostly came out in street clothes (at first) just celebrating the Mighty VH music. I think towards the end they got into dressing the part more (mostly Russ/guitar). But he's a smoking guitarist.

Anyway I saw Fan Halen in 2013. Was pretty good all around. What I liked is (1) they do pay attention to the details, stage setup, clothes and (2) seemed they did more deep cuts than I've seen w others. Think I saw em do Drop Dead Legs, I'll Wait and maybe Whisky.

Some orig Atomic Punks to add to the fire...

The spicks and wetbacks are the main problem :D

[DONNIEP]

The spicks and wetbacks are the main problem :D

Of course they are. Riding around in their lowriders...listening to raps and shooting all the jobs...

Haters gonna hate...you got paid for it though!

I enjoyed it...a lot!

Saw my favorite song by them was in your setlist...I cheated and went right to that first..."Outta Love Again"...he makes bassplayer look like a fumbling moron...Wolfie reminded me how terrible he really was...but your guy...whoa...he's good. On playing the bass that is...the background vocals need some help but if that's all I have to rip on then take that away and have a laugh at my expense. I have no problem with tribute bands when they're done well...back in the late 80's early 90's there was a band called "The Back Doors"...they SLAYED it. The guy sang and moved like Jim...the rest of the band really looked like their counterparts too but the guy playing Jim...he lead credence to the rumor that Jim was still alive!

I really like the fact that when you're playing guitar...you smile a lot...you should...you guys rock.

I cheated and went right to that first..."Outta Love Again"...he makes bassplayer look like a fumbling moron...

Really ??

That's one of my favorite tracks as well, and my impression was that particular song really shows these guy's limitations...

Michael Anthony Terrible ??

C'mon dude...

You should give it a listen sober...

[DrMaddVibe]

Oh, c'mon E...don't you think you're being really tough on them? I do.

These guys are good...they're delivering that summertime feel good that Van Halen...THE MIGHTY VAN HALEN...used to deliver. The guy even has Dave's bantering down. They sounded great and they all looked like they were having a blast. I didn't see anyone in the crowd complaining or tossing stuff at them like in the Blues Brothers so why are you?

If it's just jealousy...let it go bro. Don't carry that weight. Look at the vid again and like some have said...if you can do better to the point that you have to crucify them...post that stuff up! I feel he's delivering a service to the board. He's been able to be a huge fan and show it by playing Van Halen the way it should be played. Hell, the show I saw in Tampa...he's playing better than Eddie!

Yes...bassplayer is and always has been terrible. There's a reason why he never went anywhere or ever wrote a song. He is the weakest link in Van Halen...ALWAYS was. He was number 3 in Van Hagar even! Being Mona's little stage bitch playing Chickenshit...wtg big guy! Utter shit when a kid with just Eddie's DNA is light years ahead of a man with over 30 years of professional musicianship.
