And the covers start rolling in...

What was with the Yngwie meets Santana solo? All in all, a solid cover band effort.

I TOLD YOU! Identity crisis alert!

I plan on beating the shit out of this album when I can get full songs. As much as I love playing the 6 pack, some new blood for the ole axe is going to be awesome.

What is typically missing from Van Halen covers is one thing that pops out very much to me: stage presence.

Maybe 'cuz they weren't on stage, but in a studio?

(Just fuckin' with ya JJ...)

Fairly faithful cover but it's not that great a song. Kinda plods along. But since it's (new) VH........

New Van Halen Album...Covers, similar style, etc....

I've hardly stopped listening to the new album....Apart from the track Tattoo it is excellent (Tattoo being OK too but more like a laterDLR track than a VH track - still not a bad thing)......anyway - it inspired me...I'm not in a band....help out in a mates band from time to time but not playing so much rock.... I recorded a cover of 'you and your blues' just for a bit of fun using drum loops and playing everything else - I'm not a good vocalist or guitarist but here goes:-

Further inspired by the new album i had a go at putting together a track rougly in Van Halen style...made plenty of references to their early songs:-

Whether you like them or not i'd like to get some feedback on the tracks...

Cheers,

Mark

Why so rude?.....There are so few bands out there playing rock music (in Aus especially)..... Van Halen's new stuff has hardly had any radio play here.... I would of thought someone who has posted over 9243 posts on rotharmy would be more interested in encouraging people to play rock.....

[DavidLeeNatra]

relax...it's the normal shit a newbie gets around here...and I played it nice, believe me...wait until joins your little thread...

I thought the rendition to be quite good. Oddly enough, the backing vocals suggested to me just what an interesting version of this tune could be accomplished if Midnight Oil (Diesel and Dust was the best album released in 1987, let alone the latter half of the 1980s) had decided to get their hands on it.

Don't be dismayed by the commentary, as everyone here gets a knock on the forehead or a kick in the balls every now and then. Look, you had the sack to post your work in the first place, right? That in and of itself says it all. Nicely done.
