Michael Anthony is a freaking treasure.

[@TheIceehot66]

Mike pounding on the bass..made me grin huge...."This is for you Eddie"....gave me bigger smile and instant goosebumps

[@sid3859]

I’m pretty sure Michael meant 1981 style

[@ultragold8156]

Goosebumps as well...

[@jeffreywahnon1427]

Michael Anthony what a amazing Musician, the backbone vocalist for VH. It was only fitting for him to sing a original VH song. Brings back some memories. Thank you for that moment to make more memories. I'm sure Eddie's spirit was with us all. We miss you Ed.

[@jackhamm5554]

Miss Edward,. But we have Wolfgang now, A talented mofo....

[@peterrimel8170]

Mike was so important to Van Halen. I saw them for the first time in 1979. Mike is the consummate rock and roller. He made the right decision moving over to Sammy

[@stevehandy1836]

I was at this show, those guys can still rock!! Best back up vocalist ever!

[@ogre36]

Mike sounds great!

[@brucebeardslee9988]

Mike Anthony sounds fabulous!!

[@alstvc]

Damn... Eddie gone Van Halen gone but it's good to see this ! As a Lifelong fan ...I love this and Michael too ! Who cares what sounds better or not better !

[@bjVOLS]

The most underrated bass player and talent as hell love the way he plays

[@leegraham2444]

MUCH better than I would have expected! Vic nails Ed's tone and licks, and Michael Anthony? Need I say anything? He's always been VH's not-so-secret weapon and he's lost absolutely nothing!

[@FireBladeRR-RSP]

Vic who lmaooooo

[@EastCoastLtd]

Good in Van Halen, and great in the circle.. 👍. And Sammy's a good fella for letting him run with it...

[@osiruskat]

Man, I can't hit the like button enough. That is the best cover of "Unchained" with that DLR spirit.

[@jkdsteve2465]

Wow! He actually sounds just as good or even better than Diamond Dave ! Great that he carrying the legacy of his old band in fond tribute to Eddie! That guitarist is pretty dam good as well!

[@raynavarra]

Michael Anthony was the hardcore unsung hero of VH. While David and Eddie fought for the title of leader in VH. Michael simply got it done. We the fans lost way too many years of great music with these legends. My personal opinion is Dave was the ultimate front man but Sammy was the ultimate voice.

[@jackhamm5554]

Dave is Vegas.

[@fab.silva1119]

Props to Vick too!

[@toddahay317]

YES!!! VIC was on perfect point!!!

[@billsimmons5186]

Best version of Unchained since the original hands down !!! Michael Anthony one classy guy and a killer singer too !!!!!!!! Good guitar on this as well, Vic nailed it !!

[@chrisgrcich7405]

Mikey is a beast. So underrated as a bassist and OMG one hell of a singer

[@russelshouse2224]

i would rather hear Mike sing the old stuff these days than Dave. Sammy and the Circle is just badass. those 4 guys have stayed true to their fans!

[@randallreid424]

Eddie is definitely smiling and Michael is so cool I love him and Sammy together it was meant to be

[@BRUTUSPLAC]

THE GENTS WERE AWESOME !!!! I saw then opening Night In Bridgeport , CT.

[@rlaka5]

That was on Fair Warning not 1984. Lol But still a great job! Cool tribute to Eddie.

[@briandsatterfield]

They were all pretty fucked up on drugs and alcohol back then!

[@Generalbas1972]

I mean....that...is.....WOW.........got so many Van Halen vibes with that. Michael Anthony is the fucking Rock Bass GOAT. hands down

[@smashmachine1144]

He’s the man!

[@DrAce2025]

Great job Michael!!!! You did this song justice. And Vic Johnson is a beast to reckon with. An underrated guitarist in my book.

Mike is an amazing talent. That being said, this is one song that you need Dave and Ed for. The energy they bring to it just sells it. They still did a great job though.

[@Tool46and2]

Wow, that was really well played, nice work.

Eddie you are always Alive!

[@sccub4chubs]

So kick ass!!!! These guys sound amazing 🤘🏻

[@johnstark3058]

Boy Michael is busy in this one.... keeping his normal backing vocals going, and singing lead vocals, as well as laying his bass track down....love it!

[@thelordofhellaz]

Vic and Jason are doing the background vocals :-)

[@nippegmt]

Sings it better than what's his name the last 2 decades

[@remoteviewingartistmusicia9010]

For Eddie!

[@DokoGaTV]

Mikey is killing it! Love this, Sammy stuff and VH1 on up to 1984 with Michael Anthony on lead vocals, EPIC!

[@MrSpeed-lt8gr]

Vic killed it on guitar!

[@rubytuesday1345]

Michael absolutely kills it. He sounds more like Roth than Roth did. Mind you, I just loved Roth’s lyrics. Hey man, that suit is you!/Woo-whee! You'll get some leg tonight for sure!/Tell us how you do! Hoo hoo ho. No one else could have sung that and kept a straight face. Just genius.

[@brentj.peterson6070]

100% better than what DLR can do!! I'm talking about today & not 1984. Great version!!

[@JenniferRowanPsychicMedium]

This was awesome!

[@Longisland95]

Still kicking ass! 👍🤘🏻

[@michaelfisher7020]

Love it!!! Mike sounds so much better than Dave. Lol wonder how he feels about this.

[@ctcards2636]

If this rumored Van Halen tour happens, it should be Sammy and Michael on vocals ;-). Dave doesnt have it anymore and im blown away by Michaels vocals on this. The rumors of bringing in someone else on bass is bogus. If Van Halen tours under that name it needs to be the remaining members still willing to tour and if Roth is retired then hes retired. At that point let Michael sing those songs and Sammy sing his ya know ;-) But I still cant imagine a tour under the name Van Halen happening without Eddie. They should call it something else if they tour. Anywhoo thats just my thoughts on that. This was good stuff here.

[@hunterwest54]

Not surprised Michael still sounds amazing lol.. I mean he the bass player for Van Halen... did u expect anything other than perfection ✌🖤🤘 RIP Eddie

[@JohnMcCarville]

Yesss! Thank you for posting this!

[@MetalElf]

I was at the same show! This was crazy!

[@bags5150]

Honestly better then David lee Roth vocals now a days

[@josepha4786]

Mikey actually sings, rather than spoken word, even Sammy doesn't have the pipes for the pitch of some of the earlier tracks. Gary Cherone really did a great job in 1998 live.

[@rberry1964]

im surprised could play it.

[@fab.silva1119]

YES!!!!

[@ocd7036]

That kicked ass

[@portodrummer]

I'd love to see Sammy singing this song again

[@thelordofhellaz]

Legally, he can't now.

[@briandsatterfield]

He never did, DLR did. The horrific 2004 reunion tour - Mike sang it in Hershey, Pa. EVH was background vocals.

[@briandsatterfield]

​​@@thelordofhellaz - Legally? Curious, how so. Since Jason and Vic didn't write this and are playing it. Seems more of Sammy's ego. He never was onboard with signing DLR material. He only sang two - three DLR original songs on tour while in the band.

[@portodrummer]

@@briandsatterfield of course he sang kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2mYo6KFgMaIq7M

After all the Sammy/Dave turmoil in the late '90s, VH should have just carried on as a three-piece w/ Michael Anthony handling lead vocals....

It isn't Eddie on guitar. But Mikey shows who had the real pipes in the early years of VH.

This is great, but it jumps out at you that it's not AVH playing the drums.

I agree that Jason doesn't pull this off like Big Al and Sammy still has some problem with Dave songs. Probably because they are better lol. Vic is average on old VH. And I wish they would have made up with Mikey and did just one tour with the original lineup,. RIP EDDIE VANHALEN the King. 😎🎵

To bad the VH brothers screwed him. Imagine the tour with Michael Anthony singing Early era VanHalen and Hagar singing his era. Roth was horrible when they brought him back.

It's a shame what VH did Michael Anthony after all those years. Still got a hell of a voice. These guys sound pretty damn good though. Even though the guitar player is no Eddie Van Halen

[@smashmachine1144]

Totally agree.

[@DKH35]

Come on mike. Do it 81’ style!! lmao great performance tho

[@daveg4236]

Still sad to think about the shit Ed said about Mike as a bass player and highly discounting his backing vocals. That said RIP EVH

[@davek6949]

"Unchained" is 1984 style? Come on, Mikey! You know that song isn't from "1984". Great performance, though.
