The most underrated VH song of all time. My favorite song by them.

[@j.d.bradley7183]

That would be "Secrets" but this is awesome ;)

[@sspotter1978]

Mine too. It's not even close.

[@paulthesoundguy]

Best song on the album, next to Hot for Teacher

[@flukyreview9128]

Underrated song? It wasn’t back in 80s. Hmmmmmmm you a millennial?

[@tommcdonough6086]

No doubt I was 16 when this album was released , this HOUSE SHAKER never got played by local rock stations. One of my favorites by VH AS WELL. R.I.P. EDDIE THE MOST EXPLOSIVE 🧨 GUITARIST IN HISTORY.............

[@brianmacklin8625]

Great job. Eddie Van Halen is looking down and smiling because the younger generation is learning his songs and that would make him proud

[@KaizerTest]

I read this and it reminded me he was gone. I missed him in concert in 2012 and was waiting for another chance. 😕

[@edwardgensheimer6640]

@@KaizerTest I got to see them four times starting in 1979

[@KaizerTest]

@@edwardgensheimer6640 Nice...I only saw them once in 1986. My first concert that my older brother took me to. I still can't believe Eddie is dead.

Absolutely!

Being in BANDS and playing SONGS....

[@nathanwalsh3028]

As a professional drummer of over 30 years this brings a tear to my eye😥😥. All the kids around your age are too focused on being a big KZbin star on their individual instrument and nobody plays and in a band anymore. It's good to see you've put in the time and effort and work it takes to get these songs down. Are you guys perfect no, but are you having a hell of a time and kicking ass. Hell yes!!!! Remember music is not a competition and nobody holds your hand up at the end and says you're the winner. ( Not unless you're in a battle of the band's competition) No trophies given out nor championship belts. Don't mind the haters and just keep jamming because that's what Ed, Alex, Michael, Sammy, Dave and Wolfgang would want you to do!!!

[@ramirorodriguez9671]

What about Gary? 😁😉👍

[@angelozararis8096]

Van halen What can anybody say. Just so good .love you Eddie miss you

[@peterthart531]

It's true . Playing a long to a backing track of a big band and recording is very misleading. Playing live with other musicians (at your level) is very revealing.

[@keithgraham8515]

I give the SOR a lot of credit. I especially liked the girl singing pound cake! I guess with the way things have changed, it works…

[@kramerproaxe1895]

You all would make the Van Halen members very happy. Smiling, dancing, harmonizing and playing as a fluid band, and most importantly having fun! That's what music is all about! Great job to all of you!!

The dude on the the guitar KILLED IT

[@jimmythundarrsdrumcoverser492]

This brought a little tear to my eye. I love The School Of Rock and how they operate. This proves you can take ANY generation and introduce them to the good stuff and they get into it! The stuff they learn to play here is priceless and the tools they will need to grow into great musicians! And nice work on the Van Halen song! Eddie is smiling. At the end that's called chemistry,and with it you can pull it off at any level.

[@ZippyThePinhead]

Great performance. 👍 Love seeing this younger generation appreciating the music I listened to when I was their age. Young man plays a mean guitar, both bass player & drummer are solid in the groove, and the young ladies sounded great singing. Keep singing, playing, practicing, and getting better. ❤️

[@SecondPlayerScore]

One of my all time favorite VH tracks!! These kids did a fantastic cover. Love love!!

You right!

[@sbrave]

@@teeoh9192 Definitely, and this kid nailed it.

[@romancturner]

It's funny you point that out. That's one of the most impressive things on this song, to me that ride is so perfectly steady during that break. Alex is a beast on the drums. And his sound is unmistakable. Just like Eddie's. They both have such a signature sound

[@sbrave]

@@romancturner Right? I used to think it was an overdub or a drum machine, because it's perfect, haha, but I'm sure it was Alex doing his thing.. Hearing this kid do it was very impressive.

[@JerryCherryBand]

Very impressed with his guitar skills. I knew from the first chord he had the feel. Then blew me away with the solo. Band is great too. Singers right on pitch. I like our future. Great work.

[@joes5150]

Great job George House! Keep up the great work. Great tone and phrasing! In time and in tune.

this just reconfirmed my trust in the young folk....

[@xpresident]

Kid nailed it! That’s one of Eddie’s killer licks!

[@10INCHCRUSHER]

He almost nailed it. Eddie did a interesting slide bend that made it sound like he's using a whammy, but besides that, everything else was flawless.

[@txdrmr]

One of the most underrated Van Halen songs IMHO. I am also a drummer and a MASSIVE Van Halen fan, watching this gives me hope. Very well done to all the players and vocalists!

His version, is the best I've seen. Especially, that fill before the 2nd verse...NO ONE I've seen play it, does it like this kid did it. (Me included! Haha!)

[@mattmartian1658]

yeah.. I dont think Van Halen even played this song much after 1985. heh Cover bands dont play it, cas its kinda of a hard song on guitar. Not very popular song unless you had the album.

[@perfectnumber7783]

Drummer nails it just as well as Alex.

[@RobTackettCovers]

At 2:21/ 2:22 ish...the guitarist looks like "Not only did I execute that guitar lick, but I did it in front of people..." kind of confidence look...way cool IMO...

[@DoyleFM]

I loved how when he got just a tick behind, right past 1:30, because of whatever adjustment it was that he had to make, he allowed the guitar to sustain rather than briefly stopping. It was subtle & people might not've even noticed, but still. It was a great example of attention to detail combined with skill & most importantly, talent... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 🇺🇸
