Well, I can see why they never released it.

For real.... LOL....

 

[HailHalford]

Doesn’t sound like 1984 era Dave to me. It’s a mystery.

 

[sprint]

Well - I don't at all hear what's bad about it - sounds like classic Van Halen to me, ya - in a raw form, awesome nonetheless. You's r a tough crowd.😁

Sounds like this was recorded much later, maybe recently.

Guitar and drums sound different, is this even the van’s performance? I don’t think so.

 

[AminorZmajor]

Music and lead vocals…. It’s not the music that’s weird. I will leave the other option to your imagination. Maybe, it’s just me. 🤫

Agreed. That sounds like current Vegas carnival barker Dave to me.

The tempo is pretty lethargic too.

You guys really ought to click that link out of this place and read the article before commenting. It answers
all the questions, so then we don't have to assume WHAT this is.

I can tell that is NOT Eddie and Alex or Michael on backing vocals.

AFAIK, there has been no official explanation for this track. Maybe you’re confusing it with the orher DLR track he released, the one with John5?

 

[James Street (EJ James)]

It answers
all the questions,

It is not presently clear when the recording was made or who the other musicians are that are featured on the track,

Not really. It mentions the players on another song, but nothing on this one.

Not really. It mentions the players on another song, but nothing on this one.

Huh? It answers the primary question. It is not Van Halen.

As for the rest who honestly cares.

 

[GlennO]

The article doesn’t say when this was recorded or who’s playing, but it sounds similar to this performance by his Las Vegas band. Al Estrada on guitar.

First thought after hearing also. The guitar playing doesn't sound like Eddie.

 

[WITELITE]

There is no way that is Eddie and old. This sounds like recent Dave....probably with the Vegas Band. I agree @GlennO .

You aint gonna improve on 1984. Leave it be......

Instead watch Wolfgang cover On Fire and Hot for Teacher at the Taylor Hawkins tribute. Who would have thought we'd get our EVH tribute at that show? Made my day.

'It's all LIVE& it's Van Halen free. No samples. No autotune.'

Thats cool watching Wolfie do those VH songs. He does it justice...there are moments there where in his playing and mannerisms he's channeling Ed

 

[Brucegregori]

This recording is actually a recent recording. Al Estrada is the guitar player.
