    This is my tribute to the legendary guitar player Eddie Van Halen, in my opinion, one of the most creative and influential guitarists of all time.
    This was a really fun song to try to recreate and has some crazy drumming that took a while to try to get it as close to the original as possible

    BEST ON TH-cam PERIOD! Nobody is gonna top this. Not only were you dead nuts accurate, but you played it with feeling. You captured that “could explode at any minute” balls to the wall quality of Van Halen, but to do it on such a difficult song is pure gold. I’m a semi-retired recording engineer, it is by no means easy to impress me... I’m not only impressed, but blown away!

    Um if I may. I picked up bass, drums, guitar, piano around 14, learned all to write and record my own music.
    I was fortunate to be raised with a parent who had a very nice stereo system in 1977 thru the first almost 10 years of growing up. Van Halen was played a lot. MTV just came out. My dad was playing 1984 on vinyl.
    I’m not into covers or cover bands so much. But when done. They should be done with taste, accuracy and respect. I’ve been trying find drum covers for years even guitar covers just to see what Eddie and the band did.
    Haven’t found one! Until now and GUITAR! BASS! AND DRUMS!!
    Dude ! Perfection. The mix is perfect. The footage great! Tones are great! Wow! Thank you! Now the world can see how it was done.
    Because if I’m not mistaken this is as spot on as the recording!!
    What a good job Owen!!
    Wow!
    For the time this song was written, they deserved the fortune and fame.
    Timeless original. Nothing like it!
