This guy crushed those vocals
Sammy's vocals are a lot more difficult than you think...he is a beast! Constantine did a hell of a job man! Kudos!! Band is SOLID!
SOLID😉
That piano is the most accurate interpretation of Ed's incredibly complex phrasing that I've heard in a long time. So well done. Everyone is awesome here.
Nice to see Constantine again.I remember him from Idol years ago! Love Band Geeks 👍👍
I'm recovering on LI from Covid, hospital 13 days, wife and daughter got it, were very, very sick at home. 96 yo mother-in-law died after 30 days hospitalized. Richie, Ann Marie, all the great, great musicians and guests, you inspire me to play again and try to achieve the level of fun and satisfaction you all show. There are just no words enough to thank you for how you make me feel right now. I love you all.
Prayers for strength and peace to you and your family, from one musician to another. Tanto amore. 😷🤘
Sting line. Awesome
Right On Brother !! !!
Deus te proteja
I'm all in for anything that inspires someone to fight. Keep on rockin to whatever moves you my friend.
...remembering Eddie Van Halen - the man who changed the guitar forever.
...and the keyboards.
Good God that vocal was amazing!
What can't Constantine Maroulis sing amazingly? DAAAAAMMMMNNNN SON! Outstanding playing all around. Richie doing so much justice to the greatness of Eddie's playing!
Nailed the solo Richie. Always a great performance.
Yeah Richie slayed it....sounded like the real deal EVH note for note....tone squels etc.
@@yardleyyardley2631 and jumped right back into the backing vocals, seamlessly.
Richie? That's Constantine Maroulous
@@diannec2719 the guitarist
You know, the guy whose channel this is on...
Is it me, or does Constantine look like Lt. Dan from Forrest Gump?
damn man.... this sent shivers down my spine. Best cover I've ever seen of this song. Can't do this song any more justice. stellar musicianship!!
Right On Brother. !! !! !!
Gave you shivers? Brought tears of joy to my eyes. Thank you Eddie. You blessed MY generation with the most beautiful music a beautiful mind and soul could ever produce.
Wha????!
Constantine's vocal take is amazing. All these cover versions of Van Hagar songs I've been watching just confirm how much of a beast Sammy is.
Incredible talent and execution. Everyone.
Outstanding!!! LOVE Richie and band geeks!!! ❤️. RIP Maesrto Edward Van Halen! ❤️ dank je!!! ❤️🎸
I feel I'm monopolizing on these comments.... But DAMN!!!!! I can listen to this once a week, and it never gets old! I just love your stuff!!!!
Constatine has the power. I'd pay to go to that show. You guys are so close to too good.
Close your eyes and float away. Amazing!
Band Geeks and Constantine should write their own stuff. Awesome job!
Right On Bro. !! !! .............
Brilliant...listen 1000 times...
Wow what a cover keep it up guys played it 30 times never bored 👍👍👍👍rockin
Right On Brother. !! !! !!
It is great to see Andy on a full sized kit!
If only one thing good came out of this whole quarantine, it’s hearing Andy playing real drums
I also cannot believe how shiny those cymbals are.
Right On Brother !! !!
Well, I hear electronics can become INFECTED so he did the right thing! LoL
You all probably dont care but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the account password. I love any tips you can offer me
@Julio London Instablaster ;)
Such a great haunting tune. Nailed that smoking guitar solo. I miss when Van Halen was belting out these meaningful tunes with Sammy. What a shame it ended. You wonder how much they left on the table.
Just awesome. No other words needed!
Nailed it. BRAVO. Amazing synergy. The pride of Staten Island
Right On Bro. !! !! ..........,.
I have NO IDEA how I missed this cover from you 'Geeks', but I'm happy to tell you all that it's one of my straight 4/4 favorites now. WOW! Excellent production, everything is absolutely as tight in the pocket as possible, impeccable vocals/harmonies, plus an impressive & first-class lead vocal by Constantine, and a guitar solo from Richie that EVH himself would most likely have considered to be outstanding!
I've been in the Hi-Tech and music industry for the past 53 years, classically trained since I was 5 on piano before shuffling off to MIT at 16 (another story), and what you've assembled here, Richie, should give you a great sense of pride & accomplishment. Having the key players you do is a gift not to be squandered. I was as fortunate on the road for three years in a traveling rock/progressive rock group for three years, until technology pulled me back in.
Of course, being a key member of BOC is quite a feather in your cap, as well!
All The Best,
FalconEddy
Ed’s piano at the beginning, Sammy’s vocals, the background vocals, the bass and drums holding the groove and Ed’s Solo all done perfectly! Great cover of a great song!
Never seen a better cover...just wow!!!
Massive Vh fan here in Sydney Australia.Con and the band nailed it.Congrats

Flawless perfomance... I like the drums sound .. it's very powerful !!! All of You did an amazing job ...
Awesome job Band Geeks and Constantine. These songs have sat idle for way too long.
This has made my day. Constantine was always my favourite contestant on Idol and I am so stoked to see him NAIL a VH tune. This oozes perfection, that solo, note for note. Brilliant stuff
Right On Brother. !! !!
Had to watch this again. Absolutely ace.
Great band, extremely versatile and competent. Congratulations, continue to give us all the competence, energy and good vibes

Sensational. Great choice of song and everyone really nailed the parts. Guitar and vox in particular were very, very impressive

Great Job Ya'll! And Sammy's not an easy singer to do. Singer's got a perfect range & distortion to cover Sammy nicely Great Job Everyone!
Right On Brother. !! !!
Ya’ll. Say it correctly LOL
Well done, Sammy and the boys will be proud of you !
Rest in peace, Mr. Edward Van Halen. Your music will always live on...
Right On Brother. !! !! !!
Awesome!!! Rock on!! Sounds great
Right now, I'm again blown away by the musicianship, talent, and production skills! You never disappoint. You nail the song and tones, and you don't try to get cute and change up the arrangements or chord structures. So good and much appreciated!!!
One more thing, Richie: I have an Axis SuperSport that I custom ordered in 2000. Trans Orange quilt, hardtail, and the most beautiful Birdseye maple neck I have ever seen. It took me several years to bond with it, but now it's my go to guitar when I can only take one. Love seeing you play the EBMM!!!
Right On. !! !!
Awesome cover, singer nailed it, and his flirtatious smile in between is sure to melt the ladies hearts. Lol
Dam. I've listened to this 10x and the singer frickin nails it off the charts. I knew i guy 40 years who sang like this. Eric Schirmer...wow.
Right On Brother !!
Drums sounds sick!!!
Well I do love Sammy pretty much, so youtube recommended this video, I’ve never heard of the band and the singer before and I am thrilled. I watched nearly all the videos of Constantine immediately and I think this is Constantine’s best performance ever (other than the Jekyll and Hyde) just wow! Pretty good band. The sound of the drum is amazing! Well done guys and thank you.
Right On. !! !! ............
Wow!!!!! This is sick...nice work everyone.
Daaaaamn...Richie...you nailed that solo! The cover was overall spectacular, but that solo...wow.
Right On. !! !!
Dead on...love it . Thanks guys
Great!!! This guy can Sing!!
Right On Brother. !! !!
Nice job guys & gal of course!! Right Now!!
Right NOW a band in californa IS MISSING their 2 OLD siNGerS
The 3rd wasn't really all that bad . . . . maybe a little strange on stage, but he could sing!
@@TonysMusic1974 And Gary still sounds EXCELLENT. Can't say the same for Dave. Haven't heard Sammy live lately.
@@thygod Check any of Sammy's "Lockdown" session videos over the last month or so with The Circle. The man's voice hasn't lost anything in 40+ years. (Neither has Mikey's...) Constantine nailed it!
@@thygod Here is Sammy last month .. . . not bad for a 72 year old man th-cam.com/video/OyMAJ8JGxkU/w-d-xo.html
@@TonysMusic1974 true true.
Awesome as usual!
INCREDIBLE!!!! No other words come to mind. Simply incredible.
Right On Bro. !! !!
Totally awesome!
He's spot on Sammy Haggar with the same vocal range and quality.
You all are amazing. From the band to the lead singer. Van Hagar would be proud!
Awesome cover. Insane singer. Amazing tone and just the song millions need to hear RIGHT NOW!
Right On Brother. !! !!
Nailed the solo. Well done
Hitting the Sammy notes ain’t easy...nice job.
Right On Sister. !! !! !!
