Van Halen 5150 Cover by Jacob Deraps and Josh Gallagher

[@jeffgordon8346]

I was waiting for Sammy to start singing. This was scary good.

[@milehighgimpster]

Yeah me too! These guys are good! I wished they'd find a good bass player and a good vocalist and go on tour!

[@randomperson-dv4jd]

@@milehighgimpster they cant go on tour its up to wolfie and its not there music

I found myself filling in for Sammie 😂

i thought so too

[@pyyktodd]

If I sat here and closed my eyes and just listened, I would swear i was listening to eddie and alex practicing. Amazing Job Jacob

[@ziggylayneable]

I have my really expensive headphones on and the drums are mixed in the same microphone positions and stereo from one speaker to the other when he does a Tom roll in stereo from right to left like it supposed to on the actual 5150 album. The mix is identical on these headphones sounds exactly like it. I'm singing the vocals out loud by myself. FUckin doing "woo baby" in my bedroom

[@lizonthungshitiri2132]

You are right dude 👍👍👍

[@jts400hp]

The guitar is missing that midrange honk that EVH seemed to always have

[@garybrandt2376]

Actually yes sounds good but guitar player is just a bit tense a n d tuning is throwing it a bit off and lastly his artificial harmonics are where? 😆

[@toring61_52]

indeed But I still got to say EVH was classic Smooth effortless and never hit a bad note. No one can ever level up to EVH. Nice jam, good bar, night club action..

[@Thermo-vd1ot]

Only a true music fan understands the genius of this song

[@popwarner8029]

Maybe even a little bit of a Genius. Dumb people don't like it.

[@nckhed]

@@popwarner8029 Haven't yet heard this song, but the pretentious and obnoxious attitude of music snobs is really unbearable sometimes. So far, I'm digging this song as I'm typing, but if people don't get into it, it does not mean they are dumb. People who think their preference of music makes them superior are hilariously obnoxious. How full of yourself can you really be? I wonder if you kiss yourself in the mirror, too. The song is still awesome. No ammo for you. 🤷

[@MalabarTheGreat]

The most overlooked and underrated work by Van Halen. Flawless cover!

Nobody can write riffs like EVH. A modern day Mozart.

It's just amazing how incredibly technically accurate Jacob is on every cover he plays. It's one thing to play the cords in time but to accurately incorporate every little nuance of the technical side is mind blowing. JACOB DERAPS is the greatest cover guitarist on planet earth. There is no debate. There is no doubt whatsoever. Game, set, match people

I've loved Van Halen since I was little 、 38 years old now Nostalgic and happy Because Van Halen has been handed down forever Moreover, because such a wonderful guitarist and drumer has been born. Thanks From japan

[@choad1976]

This is the closest thing I have ever heard to Alex's tone. Actually it's not close at all. It IS his tone! And Jacob nailed it as usual. Just found your channel and I've binge watched the shit out of it. I'm loving the content.

[@mrsbieberfeverluv]

Jesus, both of these guys have got the sound and tone down perfectly not to even mention that they play it perfectly also.

[@mookyyzed2216]

Well, Alex was playing an electronic kit for this album, so getting his "tone" would not be difficult. Now Alex's "feel" is another thing. He definitely nails that.

[@eveoflow]

Amazing drum tone and performance - it’s perfect - deraps is as good as it can get to Ed

[@Bobo34597]

Edward? Is that you? Absolute FIRE Jacob

[@HWY80Thrash]

So good it's almost stupid! That was simply amazing. Ed and Al and Josh and Jacob - WOW! The snare sound, kick drum sound and the guitar tone are just spot on.

[@MagnumMuscle1000]

My favorite Hangar era song. That solo! Wow. Great drumming. You guys killed it.

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

Close your eyes and this is VH. Most people over look how important Alex's snare tone is. Absolutely great job guys.

[@playhouse888]

You know I grew up on this shit, right? It warms the heart to see you kids playing it so f’cking well!!

[@RobertMJohnson]

Someone needs to tell me how this isn't the single best amateur Rock duet performance on KZbin by a rock guitarist and drummer. Superb, gentlemen.

[@marcosso11]

it's just fun - Van Halen in the blood and blessed with great talent. thanks Jacob & Josh

Everything is perfect in this 5150's version, from the search for the right drum sound to the guitar tone. All that's missing is Hagar's voice, and you've got it ! Truly incredible !! You and your mates have mastered the entire VH repertory to perfection. Eddie must be proud of you, looking down on you from above!!! Keep up the good work mates !

buddy you sound EXACTLY like Eddie. Loved it. Drums Fantastic on point👍 I still remember the day I bought that album. Outstanding

[@dhjet2000]

Loved how Josh got the 'rush the tempo' drum part in the mid section and the 'helicopter' solo piece at the end.

[@jwinslow5661]

Both of you nailed the tone. The VH brothers would be proud! (Well, probably not.. They'd be jealous!)

[@wesryker6048]

Best cover of the song. I'm 41 and listened to this song my whole life. The live without a net version by far the best. Eddie is running all over the place. Sammy is throwing banners over his head and he never misses a lick. At 1:40 of this song you can tell its not Eddie.

Having the American flag in the background makes this video more awesome!! Great job!!

[@tonechasers]

This is the greatest riff in history. Can you do a lesson on how to play this whole song please?

[@calansvc]

If you guys were really playing that, then it is the most incredible thing I've ever seen (and even if it is synced to 5150...well it's still incredible). I was about your age when 5150 came out, and when I saw them play it live at the LA Forum. I've played guitar for about 45 years, and I grew up on EVH... and I've never seen two people capture the essence of Eddie and Alex anywhere close to what I just watched. The attention to detail is phenomenal and refreshing. Well done is an understatement. If you believe in this sort of thing, Eddie is smiling at you guys right now. ;)

[@joshkosh95]

Jimmy Nielsen I think he started using a Black Beauty in the 90s, he used a Ludwig Supersensitive in the 70s and a Tama Rosewood in the 80s. You can see why his snare sound is so amazing! haha

[@jnishar]

Absolutely love both of those snares 😃 the Ludwig and the tama that is. I can clearly hear the sound is similar to the album. Well done to both that and the playing 😉
