Great to see Michael Anthony back on stage with a bass in his hands and ripping out those legendary backing vocals. The whole song sounded fantastic and the lead vocals were spot on.
@@leanvanhalen they play classic Van Halen songs at all of their shows. You guys should really go check them out when they come around your towns, well worth it
I wasn't expecting that either. Cory did not "half-ass" it. He was pushing some air through his lungs there, impressive...but he usually is. They all were. It looks like a good time was had there at the Whiskey that night.
@@wyzapple I have seen some other videos of Cory doing VH and I just couldn't believe how great, not good, he was. He sounds better than Dave did in the early 90s.
All these positive comments are a joke. "let's take over 5 minutes to set up a 3 minute long song" sorry...but I love rock and VH and all the guests, but at some point STFU and play.
@@christheghostwriter it's a purposeful misspelling of the word homie...really not much to it. If you wanna make sense of it you can ask Dave Mustane what a mega "deth" is...or Pete Willis what a "Leppard" is.
Fuck yeah- that guy kills everything!! He nailed Dio with Satchel playing Rainbow in the Dark. I almost like the cover better than the original. Dude can sing anything apparently. Johnny 5 smokes too. Nice to see this line up- all true Rockstars, but with no ego. F-ing amazing. I'd love to see these guys tour. That had to be a sick show!!
@@RoninWaffle even if your response had anything to do with the topic, I guarantee its false. I dont even listen to those guys but would bet any amount of money they dont have the range now that they had in their early 20s.
Too cool.... it’s obvious that when Michael Anthony starts to sing, how VAN HALEN the song really sounds . His voice is as recognizable as Eddies guitar sound....when it comes to the originality of that band.
You are dead right and we probably wont see him in van halen again unfortunately. As much as I love Eddie I bet he is just too up himself now....sad. Long live Hagar and Anthony.
Well said! MA's back-up vocals was always a highlight of VH for me. Adds an extra dimension that's not often mentioned, but if they weren't there, it would be a great loss and a totally different sound to that band.
Dude, just listen to the early demo stuff he recorded with Stone Sour when he was 21. His range was (is) phenomenal! You can definitely tell singing for Slipknot has taken a toll on his voice
Do you realize all these guys form a chain of Rock starting in the 70's to the 80's to the 90's to the 00's up until today? Corey Taylor playing with hair band alum Fred Coury? I just find that truly awesome.
to think the van halen brothers treated him like shit during his whole tenure...glad he's enjoying himself and getting recognition for being key in the band's sound.
Probably the best live version of that song ever! EVER! I knew Taylor was a stupidly talented vocalist but the guy can just sing anything! Not a Slipknot fan at all but I like some of his StoneSour stuff. He never disappoints with a cover. Always does the original song justice. I just have to give credit where due. One of the greatest metal voices in the last 20 years! I
If we don’t support and promote legends like this doing their music, WE WILL lose our rock & roll boys. Keep it alive because I can’t turn on the radio today without puking out my spleen. John 5, Michael Anthony, Fred Coury, and Corey Taylor. VH, Cinderella, and Slipknot. All legends.
Now that was a solid rendition for sure! They all nailed it..and goddamn I miss Michael Anthonys backing vocals..VH needs to get their shit together,AS USUAL.
Yo!! I really just love how you can tell how much fun they were having! Music, to me, is all about the soul. And these fellas were really enjoying themselves on that stage...which makes it sound that much better!! 💯
A very Happy 51st Birthday John William Lowery. July 31, 1970 Born in Grosse Pointe, MI. Perhaps the most versatile guitar play alive. He can play almost any style. Even Spanish / Flamenco on a Hello kitty guitar.. Many more John William..
That was a killer cover sounded excellent John 5 can't wait to see him again solo and with Rob Zombie one of the best guitar players around today love the way he shows so much respect for the older rock and metal music
I saw this show 4 days earlier in Seattle. John 5 was sick but still killed it on stage. But damn, this performance would have been a treasure to see live!
Super cool, thanks for posting. I bet John liked this as much as well all did too!!! Great sound, you can EASILY see why these guys are all famous musicians. Did not expect it to be that tight or sound that spot on.
These guys get paid to make music for a living and you're surprised they sound good? I don't know if that says more about today's music industry or today's society.
@@idonteatcheetos A good amount of people get paid to do music for a living. That doesn't mean they could come up and nail VH that well, that tight, without practicing as a group. If you think that anyone who is a paid musician could come up and be that spot on then I'm not really sure what to say.
This confirmed that Michael Anthony is desperately needed back in Van Halen and what a class act as a person and musician he is. The whole group sounded amazing.
20 years ago, I’d have written Slipknot off as a footnote in music history. But honestly, they, especially Corey, are incredible and timeless. This just goes to show what a singer he is.
I closed my eyes listening to this and was transported back to '82 listening to my brothers van Halen cassettes in my room with my big over the ear headphones on my dual tape boom box jamming out. Omg these guys nailed it more than Jesus , nailed it more than stormy Daniels on set, nailed it more than a hardware store. They just plain nailed it lol
This is a great cover by some top notch dudes. Van Halen isn't Van Halen without Michael Anthony and it's always great to see him getting the respect he deserves. Them backup vox are as excellent as they were back in the day and he is a wayyyyyyy underrated bassist. Just listen to Fair Warning and Women and Children First.
I don't care for Hagar and feel he may have had something to do with Michael Anthony removed but now Eddie is dead so let's move on. Alex Michael and Hagar do not a reunion make
The people in these comments just now realizing how badass Corey isn't surprising. That dude is literally one of the best singers doing it still to this day. Everything he touches is gold.
I wonder if EVH himself has watched this video and , health issues notwithstanding, understands how this music is still fresh and important to fans all over the world
That really worked. I didn't think it would, but Corey definitely pulled that one off. I could listen to an entire album of all of them. Really fantastic.
Holy Fuck....i was there that night and this video doesnt show all the craziness...all 4 of these legends playing and having a blast...truely a once in a lifetime show
Have to say, I was very surprised how good this was! John 5 is no joke on the guitar. Michael Anthony is always on his game on bass and back up vocals. And Corey hitting those high notes! Who knew!!
Michael Anthony is still one of the best bass players going round and not to mention his backing vocals. Gold.
GraffitiPhysical very true
His backing vocals are fucking amazing. My favorite is for sure On Fire. Him and DLR shine so well together on that song
Eddie wrote all his parts. He’s not one of the best, just some dude with a good smile and backing vocals
John 5 is freaking awesome.
@@waxhead2632 According to Eddie, who slags every single member he kicks out in the press, no matter how loyal they were and blames them for all he took credit for in the past. Just like Sammy.
I legit wouldn’t be mad at all if Corey Taylor John 5 did a tour of Van Halen songs w/ Michael Anthony
I'd fuckin' go to THAT !
With all respect to VH..my favorite band and guitar player.. Eddie Van Halen.. they'd sound better!
I'd buy that ticket. Of course, I'd go see J5 any chance I get!
That would be sick
shit, id pay to see that shit...
For those not aware... Fred Coury was the drummer in the band Cinderella.
Probably the most underappreciated band of the era.
Cinderella is one of my favorite bands! Tom Keifer is a genius
Thanks for that. Minus big fro hair
It’s awesome that at least one person still remembers Cinderella. They were more raw and bluesy than most of their counterparts.
Ahh thank you!
Great to see Michael Anthony back on stage with a bass in his hands and ripping out those legendary backing vocals. The whole song sounded fantastic and the lead vocals were spot on.
What are you talking about. He’s been playing non stop with Sammy Hagar, he never stopped.
@@ABSOLUThc I think he means about playing Classic Van Halen songs that Mikey is jamming with other great musicians.

No shit! I thought the same thing then I heard it and was like...😳
You know how many times Mikey played that song at the Whiskey back in the day? I bet he felt like he was 22 again. Love mikey....
That was great! Corey surprised me. Michael Anthony the missing link to that Van Halen sound.
Kevin Dunnaway yes and yes
All these positive comments are a joke. "let's take over 5 minutes to set up a 3 minute long song" sorry...but I love rock and VH and all the guests, but at some point STFU and play.

@deadend Mariah Corey
@@Devr0ss You win the Internets for the night.

How is Corey Taylor gonna sound more like David Lee Roth than David Lee Roth does these days?
Because Dave's in his fucking 60's?
I saw them in the 80s and Dave never sounded that good live. Corey sounds like Studio Dave! Hell at least he remembers all the words!

You are dead right and we probably wont see him in van halen again unfortunately. As much as I love Eddie I bet he is just too up himself now....sad. Long live Hagar and Anthony.
Its just amazing how much part he has in the Van Halen sound ! your so right
Java Devil I’m sure through it all, he is very proud of his accomplishments with VH. As he should be.
Well said! MA's back-up vocals was always a highlight of VH for me. Adds an extra dimension that's not often mentioned, but if they weren't there, it would be a great loss and a totally different sound to that band.
I thought Michael Anthony was Johnny Knoxville till I got my glasses on.
This had to be quite a thrill for John as much as anyone else here....
I never knew Corey had those High Notes in him! holy shit!
Cody W Damn right he does! 😋
He's one of only 30 or so professional singers in the world that has a 5 octave range
It's that anaconda neck of his
Dude, just listen to the early demo stuff he recorded with Stone Sour when he was 21. His range was (is) phenomenal! You can definitely tell singing for Slipknot has taken a toll on his voice
Ha!! You have no idea what you missed!
This is fucking epic...Corey kills it...and Michael Anthony has the best backing vocals, such a great voice. John5!!
So glad we get to see mask ups like this.
Makes me want to gig again.
Me tooo bro
Absolutely!!
I used to think it was Eddie's voice on back up. Anthony is like Jerry Cantrell
This is my favorite Van Halen cover band
Amen
Ok, but I'm love Steele Panther doing Van Halen too!!!😁
@@barbaravance6774 thats what i was gonna say. steel panther all the way.
I love how you can hear every note of Michael’s bass
Taylor channeled his inner Dave and kicked ass. John 5 is amazing. Top 5 guitar players on the planet for sure.
TopJimmy2 very true
Dude get out of the pop bubble. Every one of the top 5 guitarists in the world are teenage Asian kids no one's heard of.
@@endocry you are an idiot
@@endocry lol if they're really that great they'd get discovered.
@@Rocknroller22 you really think popularity equals skill? Idiots on TH-cam.
Corey Taylor keeps a spare vocal range inside that neck
Dude he nailed it that was crazy
Corey's a vocal mutant!
I guess along with his other two bands and solo side projects he could take Van Halen over.
He's got plenty of room. Awesome comment bro.
😆🤣😂
DAMN!!!! He hit all the screams!!!
Straight album style. Loved it.
Felt, I mean, I know Corey is a badass and great frontman period but totally surprised by how spot on he's doing DLR here!
This is fucking sick! I am 41 and this song has been in my rotation for two decades
How can you not like John 5?? One of the best guitarists out there, and as humble as can be!!
Catgravy69 very true , incredible skill and one of nicest people around
@@alexvigil29 Yes,a very sympathic man and so down to earth. :-)
And he once dated and boned the shit out of Cindy “Aria Giovanni” Preto!
Hard to believe he used to shred for Manson
@@dirtnap9641 Exactly. Not saying anything about Manson, but being with him did not show how great John really is.
Literally got chills when Michael Anthony started singing those backing vocals! Wow they all nailed it too!
Corey Taylor got a good voice Right on 👍...
Do you realize all these guys form a chain of Rock starting in the 70's to the 80's to the 90's to the 00's up until today? Corey Taylor playing with hair band alum Fred Coury? I just find that truly awesome.
That was actually REALLY good!! I didn't know Mikey could still sing that harmony in the original key and Corey killed it! So did John 5!
Tom Curren he did all the high parts in all the original recordings; where have you been?!!!
Mike can sing just as high as he ever could, he defies all logic. Very underrated bass player too.
Mikey backs Sammy Hagar now with Chickenfoot
It's amazing how much Corey sounds like DLR circa 1984. Fantastic!
It would be '78. Its ok, you are a youngin'.
@@crosswalklarry Hehe, true. My bad :)
I love Michael Anthony. You can’t find a nicer guy anywhere and VH shit all over him. He’s with Red now and loving life, as it should be. 🤘
michael has to be the perfect bandmate. Great attitude, tight, creative and thunderous bass, and high pitch vocals.
to think the van halen brothers treated him like shit during his whole tenure...glad he's enjoying himself and getting recognition for being key in the band's sound.

Me too ! Great job, and I absolutely Hate Slipknot.
He absolutely nailed the vocals.
Couldn't have said it better Sludge!
He did awesome and I love slipknot. And really enjoyed that.
Yeah he destroy his voice off. In first and second slipknot album that he have, he sing full of throat not screaming.

No doubt thats whats missing in VH . Corey Taylor, No ,
Mikeys vocals !
Burn Hole 🐺 Wolf sings great also , but yeah Michael anthony has that great voice for the signature Van Halen sound
Burn Hole so agree man. Why can’t they just work that crap out.
Your spot on dude!
Um... No...it took more than half the video to even start the song...so not rock and roll.
@@slashismyhommie8182 yeah, because rock and roll is supposed to be structured and on a tight time schedule.
Impossible to not smile watching this!
If my eyes were closed I would have thought it was David Lee
Said the same thing
If my eyes were closed I would have thought it was Corey Taylor
Not me. Sounded too good to be DLR!
David Lee about 30 years ago
No DLR has a different accent idk how to explain it
John 5 surprises me every time he plays. What an awesome guitar player!
Hawk Tuner I love his playing , such fun live shows also 🤘
John 5 can play anything. Fast forward to Fall of 2022, he's replacing Mick Mars on tour.
Corey surprised me. I did not see that coming.
DEAD IN UTERO OFFICIAL Corey can hit the highs, it just depends on how his voice is on the day.
What a line up..Corey nails it, and John 5..wow..Michael sings like an Angel .
I love Michael Anthony. His vocals are historical
WickedSharp 001 yes true
John 5 loves to play. Amazing guy.

scott917 well it’s kinda cool to go to , but harder to get to front of stage though
First, thanks for posting this video. I had no idea Corey Taylor could hit those high notes. These guys did a great cover. Just awesome! 😀
Most underrated bassist. Not too familiar with the rest of the band (except J5) but they actually are kicking it. That was a dam great version.
I closed my eyes listening to this and was transported back to '82 listening to my brothers van Halen cassettes in my room with my big over the ear headphones on my dual tape boom box jamming out. Omg these guys nailed it more than Jesus , nailed it more than stormy Daniels on set, nailed it more than a hardware store. They just plain nailed it lol

Have to say, I was very surprised how good this was! John 5 is no joke on the guitar. Michael Anthony is always on his game on bass and back up vocals. And Corey hitting those high notes! Who knew!!
Dude..... Corey sounds better than David Lee Roth. 😳😳😳
Your Mom sounds better than Roth
the guy from steel panther sounds exactly like 1986 dave it’s crazy
He was spot on. All the screams and shrieks. He should go on tour with VH, not DLR
It’s not hard to sound better DLR. Corey is an amazing vocalist though. DLR is just a good showman. 🤣
Diamond Dave can't sing anymore.
This Corey guys does a great job singing the old VH tunes I’m impressed wow
Dang. You don't hear modern metal vocal types hit them headspace parts like that. Corey kicked some ass on that.
Crushed it! Every one of them are legend.
ok damn Corey can sing just like Dave used too .....damn good job !!!!!
Another killer performance by the absolute master ! Nice job MA
This is sick! 🤘 thanks for sharing! Much appreciated!
Jim Stafford no problem thank you for watching 🤘
