Dafuq did that first scream come from? James! What have you been hiding from us...? JEEZ dude you can scream, why'd you never... ugh :D

[@Markleadguitar]

Most professional singers, either with chest voice or falsetto, can do this. But you stick to what sells your product.

[@MoonchildMindaugas2]

@@Markleadguitar I know, I'm a singer as well. It's just James... I've never heard him do that! You nailed it at the end, as a reply.

[@Nissardpertugiu]

@@MoonchildMindaugas2 he hit that kind of shit in 1982-1988

Gone today (10/6/2020), but legends like EVH never die. So glad to see Metallica and VH on same tour. Eddie, go jam with Jimi, Randy, Dime and Cliff. They are waiting for you. Shred In Power, sir. \m/

Fuck no it doesn’t. Embarrassing more like it. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@robroy5573]

Shitload of high notes to that song. Not easy to sing it! Corey Taylor covered it pretty darn good too for those whom not ever heard him sing it live. Impressive!!!!

[@teddybears4life240]

cool. thx. ❤❤

[@KennethDillard]

Are you referring to that killer live version he did with Michael Anthony on bass, and John5 on lead guitar? That version was spectacular!

[@silver01stang]

Yes, Corey Taylor sings it pretty damn good. It's definitely worth watching.

[@markrambo3]

Corey with John 5 and mikey..Corey does a awesome dlr impression...vh !!

😁 Not bad guys! I'm sure EVH saw this video before he passed and you made him do that classic grin! It would be so nice to hear a full studio album recording of this on a future album!👍

[@drzitbag06]

lol james is the only guy who can sing anything from king diamond to dio and would not embarrass himself in front of thousands. just makes the song his own.

[@elpistolas4485]

Rest in Power EVH

[@garionporter5961]

they should do a full legit cover for this song now :)

[@reset-xs9ql]

always cool to see successful acts play a cover they'd not done in public before.. they also did "How many more times?" (Zep 1) during a station break at the MTV awards show -- the year they did "enter sandman" live.. returning from commercial break. if ya'll remember that..?

[@littleelvis3358]

should any band cover running with the devil, it should be Metallica.....

[@officialedge6163]

James should’ve had his helium balloons handy for this. 🤣

[@MarkPlotkin-df8cn]

That one was for eddie thx eddie van Halen for all the great music 😊

[@kyroflix]

Rip eddie Van Halen

[@huntersamuelstout9543]

he can actually sing this super welll haha

[@bandsivefilmedlive]

Full cover please!

[@PaboritongAwitinniBoyKarne17]

Never seen James hitting high notes...

[@backslash68]

None of you guys noticed how Kirk Hammett completely butchers the verse? I mean he is playing totally wrong notes.

[@iddddaduncan]

He sucks

[@broken_clock_right_twice]

They really shouldn't cover songs. I think they butchered every one...

Paying tribute. Fuck yes

I would’ve loved to have heard Chris Cornell sing this in his prime. One of the best rock screamers ever

[@Nictric1]

That is so true

[@Ryno-fp7pm]

Interesting that you mention that because I have always thought Chris Cornell would be absolutely fantastic covering DLR-era tunes. Such a perfect voice and style for the early stuff.

[@chrisbiggers4406]

Wow, not even a shot at the guitar part?

[@hypersphereengineering6015]

There's a shot of James not playing the guitar. Does that count?

Pathetic playing by Kirk, why am I not surprised.

James at least tried. He actually managed to land notes, but the guitar was crud. No bass either.

[@raulchavarria7446]

It’s a joke people, they always purposely suck when playing others group’s songs.

[@thismothafuckasaid7304]

NOT tribute to Eddie's passing (he was alive at time)...It was tribute to Pasadena aka "home of mighty Van Halen". Plus, some of VH earliest gigs were backyard parties in Rosebowl vicinity

Nothing compares to Eddie✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻RIP
