‼️Phil X defends Satriani over Howard Stern Performance✊| Steve Vai & Wife visit Phil X’s house! 🤯

[@grewalaman]

Joe and Steve and just such humble musicians……something the new generation will never understand. They are beyond proving anything….their longevity is testament to their fan base and the respect the music community has for them. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@tonycarpaccio9550]

Satch is 67. He can shred better than 99.9999% of guitar players alive or dead and has forgotten more about guitar than some of the best ever knew. He will have off days but it literally doesn't matter if he forgot how to play today, he's a living legend.

[@MastersofShred]

Well said! 👏🙌🎸🔥

[@matdixon3567]

Damn right there!

[@JIMJAMSC]

Agree to all of that BUT..... He should have "and maybe did" realize that taking this "reunion/tribute" VH gig would inevitably lead to a hell storm of comparison/criticism, hate etc.... Other than the possible money to be made there are no upsides to even trying.

[@diversityparty]

I'm that .111111111% of guitarists who can play everything Joe satriani ever played just like him but he wouldn't even know where to find the front door on my playing. Fuck Joe satriani and these fools talking on this set. I wish I knew Sammy Hagar so he could fire Joe satriani... I was playing Van Halen when Van Halen started playing Van Halen. I should be writing a new album for Sammy... I wish I knew Alex so I could jam with him and write some songs... I think I could get him to go buy another set of drums and record a new album with Sammy and me. There's just not a nice way to tell you guys that Joe satriani sucks at playing Van Halen

[@diversityparty]

These guys are so fucking stupid they don't realize that Eddie never made a dime from playing guitar solos..... You can't copyright shredding... But you can copyright songs and that's why Eddie is so great

[@oneispispike3205]

Joe was totally put on the spot during that appearance. Let's be real, it's not like Joe sits home learning others players stuff. Just Sayin

THIS

[@mk.8915]

Yep!!🤝

[@drewbongiorno]

Phil did a good job interviewing Derek… I always admire a host that lets their guest speak at length.

[@HazardSports]

5:25 IMPORTANT POINT to make is that in an interview Satriani told you that he intentionally held himself back from playing EVH music because he didn’t want to “accidentally steal” anything. He respectfully added that working on it was a conflict in his brain as he was hearing someone else’s style and not his own. He showed nothing but respect for EVH. And these “INFLUENCERS” probably have been playing EVH for many many years and were looking for an opportunity to elevate their own egos by bashing someone who could run circles around them any day of the week! Joe was kind enough to show his progress as he was still working on EVH stuff. He could have easily gave himself more time by saying that they were saving that performance for a live show. But this humble legend has no problem showing his human side! I LOVED seeing him “work” on EVH moves and his child like smiles when he nailed an EVH riff. He was having fun like we all did the first time we played a popular song for the first time! Awesome to she that! Not cool that these “influencers” attacked him to serve their own ego!

[@MastersofShred]

Very well said brother! You made some great points and I appreciate you checking out our interview with Joe which definitely helps explain the situation as a whole much better 👏🎸🎸

[@alirezaroshannahad]

I've met Joe two times. He is a legend without showing or posing like a legend. He is a very humble person, down to earth! Those who make fun of him or bash him, just want to be seen! But as a matter of fact, these small people make a fool of themselves.

[@kevinmorris7722]

[@sd4beatsmore]

Like Eddie once said " if it's already been done why bother doing it again " Nobody will ever replace EVH same goes for Joe also.

You do it again because its good. You don't throw it away after one hit. Tool.

[@knucklehead99-z1w]

[@sd4beatsmore]

@@professormuro I was quoting Eddie. MF.

[@professormuro]

@@sd4beatsmore No shit, sherlock. He was wrong and you are a tool for providing a lame quote.

[@TruthSurge]

Ed... contradicts himself all the time. He played covers early on. He learned some solos note for note early on. He played the same songs night after night. The WHY bother doing it again is because if something is amazing, it's probably worth doing again. If it's good, it's good. But you don't have to do the same song 20 times in one concert. But in general, Ed did mix up his solos a little bit live so he wasn't a robot. Even his main solo was usually a blend of a bunch of other bits and pieces he would stitch together into one solo. Not just Eruption and a bow. He'd add other stuff in there. I didn't see all this about Stern but anyone critical of Satch must not have ever listened to his early stuff.

[@johnny5494]

I watched Satch play live in January 2022 for three hours straight. Flawlessly. The man is a machine.

[@MrJvieira72]

If Joe had sounded exactly like EVH on Stern then people would have criticized for being a wanna be or some other insult. The internet is insulting because it gets more attention than being nice.

[@FernandoGarcia-lf6yh]

coz it's full of envious trying to call other losers' attention, both groups already knowing that will never achieve even 10% compared with the greats.

Joe has exactly zero to prove to anybody.

[@godofgore6667]

Everyone who thinks he had nothing to prove is WRONG. He had to prove that people should PAY MONEY to see him cover Van Halen songs. Satch has proven that he's a legend, but he hasn't proven that he should be on tour performing Van Halen songsn for people's hard earned cash. Period.

Thank you guys for stepping in for Joe, Joe is amazing!!!😍

[@326vince]

I can’t put anyone down who makes music. Even if it’s a kid who maybe does a few licks I like. I hate people that do nothing but judge other musicians. Ive watched Phil back when I think he was “testing guitars in a music store”. I loved the energy and the respect he held for each instrument. Anyway putting down Satch and Vai are things I’ve always never understood? Incredible at what they do on guitar. If it weren’t for Joe who knows what woulda became of Steve. I’ve loved guitar since I was a drummer. I started that as a toddler. My oldest brother put me behind his kit and helped move my arms. I’m a lefty on drums and a lot of stuff. But still I got a pretty good early start. I always played air guitar before I decided to get a guitar and teach myself something. I was in a 3 guitar band for my first experience on the instrument. We played a lot f harmony stuff. Back then it was Skynyrd,Lizzy and bands I still love today. Anyway thanks for letting people know Joe is an incredible talent. Got to see him at the Tower theater. I saw so many great musicians there. There’s a reason Bowie made his first live album there. Sounds so good! I saw Angus with Bon there. I saw a young Schenker. I put a few tunes on my site. UFO a force It tour was incredible. I posted This Kids. A fantastic Tune. A little Tommy Bolin also is on the post. I loved his playing and singing. Anyway let people know it’s not just playing fast as so many seem to do these days. I loved Johnny Winter. He played so tastefully. Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush we saw first time in 1975. I was going to concerts since I was 9. So I’ve seen many. Gary Moore with Greg Lake was 1st show I took my wife to. Saw him again playing Rock. He was nuts! Led Zeppelin. Deep Purple in what I considered their best work. Anyway it’s all not just sweep arpeggios. Or playing as fast as you can. Schenker has melody. To spare. He’s tasteful. Kerry Livgrin. Saw him at Villanova Collage Kansas Masque tour. It’s on a recording titled broadcast of innocence. Him and Rich Williams are tasteful musicians. I saw Wishbone Ash with 2 fantastic players. Laurie Wisefield and Andy Powell. I saw Hunter and Wagner with Alice Cooper. Saw Alice original band Really liked them. They wrote 5 great albums in a row ! That’s tuff. Saw VH it was the first time they toured. Opened for Journey. Montrose played 2nd after VH. There’s a recording of them online from that show. Met Schon. He’s incredible also. And Montrose! That was the Tower theater as well. Sick line up! Met Schon. Cool dude. Saw him with Santana when he was really young! He was epic. I saw jist about everyone I wanted to. I missed Hendrix though. And love all his work. I saw Randy Hansen at the Tower do a wonderful tribute though. Was great. I saw Peter Haycock with Climax Blues Band. He ripped on guitar. Ameritech Sense of Direction. Flight. And So Many Roads. He was fantastic He played that guitar Mark Farner started to use. Chrome plated. Love to hear Phil play one of them! Never see em anywhere? it’s not about that. I’m just reliving when there was so many great concerts I could go to. You guys please keep the rock flowing cause the world need great music. Thanks! I used to love those videos Phil X made on different guitars. Had such energy! You’re holding one of my favorites. Love SGs. Anyway again. God bless. Here’s UFO. A little Tommy Bolin from Philly. My hometown. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iojZmaFmo5uSnpIsi=nVhVlDKBkvRvanZs

[@RobertDirks-h4i]

Saw Hagar and satch in St.Louis and they ripped. It was incredible and Joe played those tunes without compromising his signature style and technique. Bravo

[@kxmrock]

Satriani hadn't had enough time to perfect the intro to Mean street A player that good, he will master it soon. "Masters of Shred" interview Andy Wood, He slapped all the haters on Instagram at the time for hating on Joe Satriani

[@MastersofShred]

Well said! 👏🎸 Yes, we would love to interview Andy, he’s another phenomenal guitarist! 🙌🎸🔥 We will look into making that interview happen 🎸🎸

[@chrislestermusic]

The most bizarre part of all that is…what were the odds that they would ever even play “Mean Streets” anyway? I don’t see Sammy ever singing that. So if it wasn’t even in the potential setlist why go there? It seemed like it was this innocent question from Howard (if there is such a thing) and Joe just answered honestly. Personally I think that Howard appearance was a colossal mistake. Of course now the tour isn’t an Eddie tribute anyway and has just turned into a Sammy tribute instead.

[@mikeb.7183]

@@chrislestermusic Joe probably figured out the into in 81 to teach to a student, and besides when it came on the radio hadn’t listened to it till he started dong his deep dive into the tour. That song was probably on his listen to not learn list.

[@johnhagan582]

The reason Joe hadn't nailed that intro is only cause he didn't or hasn't actually tried to .come one where talking bout Joe Satrianti .had he wanted to play it exactly like Ed he could .take a day or two and poof it's a done deal .like alot of people said he would have gotten bashed had he played it note for note perfectly .he's in a no win situation in that regard .he's damned if he does damned if he doesn't and he knos that that's why he didn't and will never attempt to play it exactly the way Ed did .he will put his spin on it .Joe is a shredder like Yngwie .Gilbret .Via (on some days) where as Eddie was never a shredder .it's not his style .he could play as fast as anybody on planet earth if he felt like it on any given day but he chose not to .same as Randy Rhoads he wasn't a shredder but trust me he could play solos at lightning speed and technically precise at the same time but he was more about the music and playing with feel and emotion something shredders tend not to do 99% of the time .Yngwie Malmsteen was the first true shredder but damn his music suffered from that style of playing in IMO .that up and down the neck repetitive style that doesn't even sound natural from a guitar and has no feel and emotion at all .Guys like Ed and Randy especially Rhoads played with such feel and emotion that it actually made his audiences feel connected to him through his playing .was so melodic .in that respect there wasn't a player on the planet then or now that could play live like that .I saw Randy .Ed .Via .Yngwie .all those guys live .only guy that played that shed or instrumental style that had any real feeling to it was Jeff Beck .

This was great! Phil X is one of my hero's! I loved it! And you said it perfectly! I'm the lead singer/guitarist for a classic rock band. When we perform VH, our lead guitarist never plays the solos the same every time! For a lot of songs! But people go ape shit... regardless.

[@MastersofShred]

So true! 👊😎👍🎸🎸🎸

[@brandonshuttleworth8374]

The reason why, Joe Satriani is a better guitarist than all the nobodies, while they are on Instagram, he’s created more original parts. when you think about it, it’s rather silly, he’s basically being insulted, for not being a copycat, by people who are probably copycats. Not even worth taking personally, anyone who can bash a guy openly who never bashes anyone is just an asshole with no career or ambition. But hey, have fun riding that social media wave. him and John Petrucci are my absolute favorites!

[@arm5080]

He got put on the spot never practiced it and we saw Joe as a mortal man but look how he is playing Van Halen on this new tour.Mind Blown 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@van_trippin5260]

Vai for me is the g.o.a.t, we all have our own faves and tbh i don't care what anybody else's is. Nobody should care! I can't recall ever hearing a bad story about him, i'm sure there are some but to be THAT great and retain humility 👏

[@am-yx6mr]

Yeah the criticism is pathetic. 1) he hasn't even really learned the songs yet (at the time of the show being filmed). 2) Apparently, he was given no notice that he was playing and didn't rehearse. 3) If he decides to play something sounding like himself, that is fine, otherwise just get a session player to do note for note. I think he sounded great all things considered

[@davidstevens7809]

Hello guys.. this is great. Seems like a few people that thought you both would crack up when WE made statements that phil x can beat your best try. It got many readers involved in the taking sides. musicians

There is no freaking way I would ever criticize a true legend like the Satch. If I remember correctly, Howard Stern kind of put him on the spot asking him to play the riff, he probably hadn't even practiced the riff.

[@albertburrola6612]

I remember it the same way. It was live. Howard asked the question and Joe reluctantly played it. And they hadn’t rehearsed any music till the day of the interview.

[@JeffCogswell]

Exactly!!! This is SATRIANI we’re talking about. He only tried Summer Nights the day before. When you factor that in… and now I’m realizing I’m preaching to the choir. We know how good Sartch is.

Eddie himself even talked about doing covers, saying that no matter what he does, it always ends up sounding like Eddie. There are some guys out there that really nail the Eddie vibe like Jason Deraps, but Joe brings the star power that nobody else has. And he's been with Sammy for years, so it only makes sense that they'd do a tribute to Van Halen. AND this is the only way we can hear the Van Hagar songs live. Why not?

[@rmcaudio7041]

If you want to grow, go out of your comfortzone. That’s exactly what Satch did and is doing. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and play Van Halen songs. I challenge all the other critics to do the same.

[@Zakkarath]

Joe is an incredible technician and virtuoso.... HOWEVER.... every player will have a challenge from time to time playing either THEIR OWN MUSIC they worked hard to create and haven't played for a long time.... and of course there will be a challenge playing OTHER PEOPLE'S hard and challenging work.... it has NOTHING to do with how good you are.... are how good you're not.... even Joe said Steve would be able to play Power Cosmic better than what he can play it nowadays..... there are many variables as to what you will play well or not well on a given day.... people criticising other people's playing are not getting what composing and playing is all about. I HAVE TO SAY.... PHIL X.... is someone I've listened to lately and have been completely impressed.... he's got it all... originality and chops, feel... it's all there.... HE'S AWESOME.....!

[@isaiahmarquez9717]

Exactly! I can’t play Eddie’s stuff very well at all…..but I can play Yngwie’s stuff (not quite up to warp speed but it’s going well). Strange how my mind and fingers can do one fairly easily and not the other. Like Eddie’s legato triplets to picked triplets back to legato triplets back to picked….that kicks my ass backwards! But like pedal tone string skipping a la Yngwie, no problem. My mind just does not wrap itself around EVH’s playing style. But it takes to Yngwie’s like a duck to water. I’m sure others have the opposite problem. And some have no problem with either. Go figure.

[@timzuch4212]

I still have many artists on my “Must see Live!” Bucket list, some, sadly, are no longer a possibility. But, I have seen Joe S. Twice! Once in ‘88’ in PDX, and once in Denver at an “open air” with Dream Theater and King’s X. Nobody sounds better live, than JS!! His Tone, the Vibe, even outdoors, he is just so good, and the musicians around him so locked in, but also laidback and fun!! P.S. DT and King’s X, were Great also. We were early, and heard Dug, Ty, and Jerry’s sound check, MASSIVE! Just gotta see Phil and the Drills now!

[@MastersofShred]

Satch with Dream Theater and Kings X?! OMG! That’s a dream line up!🤯🙌🎸🔥 I freaking love Kings X, they are incredible musicians and tragically often overlooked! 🙌🎸🔥

[@isaiahmarquez9717]

Same with me. I thought I’d have plenty of time to catch Van Halen before it was too late. Well….it’s too late. Never saw SRV. Well, Lord willing, I’ll see YJM in Dallas in November!

[@jsk8et]

That was such a bummer. For one, hearing Satch struggle is only deferential to EVH. Also, EVH is so huge that Satch probably spent some time and thought on how NOT to play too much like him and be his own artist. And third, what guitar player gets anything right every time? And also, do these fans think EVH would have enjoyed seeing them tear down another player? These are some of the same guys that try to tell Wolfgang how to honor his own father. I hate to see Satch take an L on anything, but the “community” took a bigger L and made a mountain out of a molehill on this one. Respect to Satch. Respect to EVH’s legacy.

[@johnmcminn9455]

fun fact Phil X was the ORIGIONAL guitar player In Randy Coven who came up with the whole sound before Al Pitrelli who was recommended by Vai for Alice Cooper

To criticise a legend who created his own iconic style, for not precisely emulating another legend's iconic style... is just rεταrdεd.

It's all on Sammy for putting Joe on the spot like that, Sammy basically says there's all these guys that can copy Edwards playing but you need a guy like Joe that can kill it on everything, then the have him play something he isn't that familiar with playing, so the guys Sammy just said can't cut it got offended. Joe's tone, style and musical sense is pretty different than what Ed did, his sound is very different and because Sammy can't sing those songs in the Key they're supposed to be in of course, it doesn't quite work... They should have done two Sammy songs and one Van Halen song like finish what you started that slightly different version might have been pretty cool. I feel bad for Joe...he never should have been put in that position... when the KZbin videos pop up recorded on smartphones Joe's going to get hammered by the fans no matter what he does.... Edward was loved by fans posthumously his legacy is untouchable.....

[@MastersofShred]

That’s a good point, that song line up would have maybe worked a bit better especially given the key they were being performed in due to Sammy’s vocals😯👍However, I think Joe is going to wow all the naysayers on this upcoming tour😬👍🎸

[@Buzzode]

So many people just don’t think before they make a negative comment about Satch on Stern ….. Obviously they recently decided to do a VH Tribute Show and Joe hasn’t even started to Rehearse / Practice any VH material … and he’s busy playing his Own Music …..

[@glenmallory9982]

I’ve seen Joe live back in 1997. Mind blowing. The only reason I’ve not seen him again is life happens. Life long fan here own most his albums. He got tossed under the bus 🚃 on Stern. It’s such a minor thing he probably thought here’s a little gag, a little thing from another player that’s hard to do and here’s why. He’s a guitar teacher for heavens sake. Demonstrating why it’s hard. Sadly the nation of the offended and brutal take pot shots at everything. Most haven’t played anything bigger than a Moose lodge or Moms Basement. But I digress. Sorry. Our hero’s are human. They need rehearsal respect and human dignity. Even Wolfie took 3 or 4 days drilling the three songs he played for the 2 benefit concerts and he was in VH for fifteen years. He’s stated that in recent interviews. Satch will kill it on tour. Peace out.

[@SophiaAphrodite]

Phil X sure gets a ton of exposure for a session guitarist. Not complaining just happy for him as session musicians are the heart of the music industry. That being said Joe has taught a huge percentage of successful guitarists in the rock and metal industry. Time catches up with us all. That being said Gen X is THE WORST when it comes to this kind of cruelty.

[@michaeleaster1815]

6:04 I agree with editing but also Nuno made the point that Sammy kind of threw them (esp. Joe) under the bus. They had barely rehearsed it! Also agree that it is super-douchey to go after an icon like Joe.

a vast majority of guitar players dont play solos the same every time or is the case with old blues players who wouldnt even play songs that were featured in their wheelhouse the same you have players who include certain elements of the og solo in there but alter it like SRV in pride and joy theres elements on the recorded version that he would play but he didnt play the same solo

Mean Streets intro is essentially a drum beat. Guitar players know that. Drummers know that. Some guitarists are not natural drummers. Simple as that. People should be respectful of Satch vs looking to shit on a legend for kicks.

[@UseTheSupeRsonic]

People don’t seem to understand that even LEGENDS, MASTERS come across stuff that they don’t nail right away. Look at Mike Portnoy’s video where he’s trying to play a Tool song. If you asked Vai to sit in with Muddy Waters, he’d be a bit off as well. It’s not his thing. People need to lighten up

Dude evh is the real deal legend also we have people like the atómic punk band or wolfie who play it properly ...you dont switch places between satch and evh...i even prefer reb beach or i remember in the 90's norum used to play evh stuff like a god

[@Tuftsedge1]

Jealousy is a terrible thing.😀put the haters next to Joe and see how they hold up.😅

[@dansmith8912]

Phil X rocks

[@zemlidrakona2915]

Nobody would expect JS to play Van Halen songs flawlessly without practicing. And even then I wouldn't expect him to sound exactly like EVH. The main problem is they went on Howard Stern when they weren't yet ready. It wasn't just the Mean Street intro either. 5150 sounded kind of marginal. The response wasn't that surprising.

[@Prossdog]

Haha, there’s a reason Joe is still making brilliant albums and playing for thousands of people and KZbin influencers are strictly on KZbin.

[@zonapainter]

Joe's ego won't let him play VH. He has to put his touch on it which totally changes it. Phil on the other hand doesn't let the ego get in the way and totally nails EVH.

[@simonc1uk]

No need to defend Satch! Joe himself replied to that influencer that Phil X mentioned and realised the 'influencer' was being tongue in cheek.

[@christopherm.6991]

Joe is awesome, period. Bottom line is he wasn't prepared enough for that Stern thing. None of them were. Sammy jumped the gun going on there. But oh well, is what it is.

[@omni-man4624]

I saw Eddie playing a Billy Idol song at a party he was soo wasted he was playing a different song than the band!

[@saltyassassin]

Love Joe Satriani. Dudes one of my influences. But when I think EVH... I don't associate Joe. Hell, even Joe himself has admitted he has purposely tried NOT playing like EVH his entire career! When I think EVH, I think someone like Satchel from Steel Panther. Even Phil X. Satchel played in Atomic Punk for YEARS. I don't even know why they are doing this project... There's only one Eddie.

[@Interdicted]

Love Satch

[@c.alejo8846]

what was Wrong with his performance? loved to see him on Stern

[@comment.highlighted]

Anyone who bashes a Living LEGEND like Joe Satriani is outta their Mind 🤯 Ego Check Needed.

[@bobboberson2024]

Dude works out!

[@JIMJAMSC]

Satch going out and playing a legends music ESPECIALLY one who's passing in still fresh in their fan's minds is asking for trouble/stress/criticism/comparisons etc. But.... A VH tribute tour with Satchel "Russ"Michael Starr "Ralph" M Anthony and a bad ass drummer... They could and have pulled it off.

[@johnhagan582]

Joe's style of play is shred just like Yngwie .Gilbret .Joe Stump (a guy that has been totally forgotten and probably the most underrated guitarist in the history of Metal) Yngwie and Stump were the first two real shredders .Eddie was never from the shredder sub genre .Joe could practice Meanstreet for a couple days and probably played it note for note had he wanted to but thats not his thing hes gonna put his spin on it and purposely so to make it in his style .thats also the respectful way to go .either was he go's whether its like Ed or with his take on it he's gonna catch flack from diehard EVH fans and if played it like Ed his own fans would have said wth thats not the Joe Shred we kno .other than Brad Gillis you never saw any of thos other guys in Ozzy band try and play it exactly like Randy on his songs .no they (Jake Zach .Gus .Via .Holmes .Cantrell) all put their take or spin on it cause they all had a specific style of their own .so as for all the people gonna hate on Joe for not playing Meanstreet like Ed did its not that he couldn't had he wanted to maybe practice it for a day or two straight he could have but thats not wat he wanted to do .he did that outta respect for Ed .how in the hell you gonna hate on Joe Satrianti he's a living legend and a true shedder .something guys like Eddie .Rhoads .DMartini .Lynch were not .they were melodic players that was more into playing with feel and emotion rather then just as fast as possible with repetitive licks that truthfully and honestly isn't really a natural sound from a gutair .

[@johnhagan582]

Would love for the creator of this channel or any musical channel for that matter do a video on Joe Stump (the forgotten shredder .75% of your subscribers I guarantee have never ever heard of Joe Stump .he's a amazing and successful gutair player from the 80s and 90s .

[@roryoconnor861]

Eddie is incredibly beloved, and deservedly so. It's a fools errand to even try to 'fill his shoes' but if you are gonna attempt it I would suggest that you need to be a lot more prepared and rehearsed than Joe was. I think the reaction was as extreme as it was because the attempt seemed slapdash and consequently some felt it was maybe a little disrespectful.

[@Harry-kw1fy]

I didn't see the video, or the comments concerning, Joe.. but together you do come across as somewhat patronizing, here - like no one else has an opinion... and while Phil extols the virtues of his wife's, fish pie - Mr Shred takes the opportunity to promote his merch.. yeah sure why not - the icing on the cake. hahaha.. A fine line, boys - who was it who used to say, 'keep it real..'

[@MastersofShred]

I’m sorry you feel that way. I in no way was trying to patronize Joe nor do I think I have :) I loved Joes performance with Sammy, I just wanted to address the unneeded negativity that followed his performance and put a positive spin on the situation. Joes a monster player and absolute LEGEND. Case closed 😎👍🎸🔥

[@isaiahmarquez9717]

I think Sammy should have picked someone that was maybe already known to do Van Halen already, instead of having to work it up. Paul Gilbert, Phil X, Deraps, Dweezil Zappa, Marty 5150, etc, etc. Wolfgang is the obvious choice except that he wants no part of any of this. Some of these guys LIVE to play Van Halen stuff. Joe is a great guitarist but he isn’t known for playing any Van Halen stuff. I’m sure he’ll work it up just fine. He’s a pro. But there was an easier path down this road. Hell, Phil X could have sang the DLR songs that Sammy is loath to sing.

[@kyleleon85]

“Influencers” lol.

[@robertjaramillo4822]

Just insane for someone to knock Joe.

[@KowboySantos]

same with Clapton, dudes been sh*tting on him but their entire vocabulary you can trace back to Bluesbreakers , Yardbirds, Cream, Derek and the Dominoes, and his solo career

[@drill2.087]

Watch is great and will have it down, if they wanted a great EVH “clone” Russ Parrish would’ve fit nicely

[@ILLRICARDO]

I remember when phil x destroyed a perfectly good guitar by torching it and ripping out the pick ups....

[@ltgray2780]

If you want to hear the song like the recording, go listen to the recording. If you can't appreciate improvisation, get back on the porch. BECAUSE,...The BIG DOGS are RUNNIN".
