Van Halen - Rock Hall Of Fame Induction - Part 3

Part 3 of VH's 2007 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[@Lazyboy5298]

This is what actually killed Eddie

[@john-kl3ux]

😂

[@anz2441]

Amen..what a disaster 😂😂😂

[@chromemusic4401]

Hahahahhahaaaa

[@HardChair]

Ha ha Good one!

[@ind4upgrade]

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[@cardbored_]

Wow, this sounds like if velvet revolver tried covering a van halen song.

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

The video cuts so fast at the end because someone in the crowd yelled “That ain’t Van Halen”. It was heard in the original airing.

[@macadoo2530]

😂

[@harryfromwork]

This. Is. Brutal.

[@sturgisbaby9050]

@harryfromwork Yes. It is. They are destroying this song 😯😖

[@nicestrat]

The video quality here definitely matches the audio quality of the band that night.

[@ROOKTABULA]

Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Good!

[@christopherhurley1669]

The funniest part of this performance (which isn't in this clip) is some guy yelling "that's not Van Halen!" at the end of that awful attempt at Runaround. LOL

[@jefflitchfield4950]

I have to agree with that guy though. They really didn't play a Van Halen song there that was more of a train wreck that just didn't stop.

[@ofadetergentsud]

Why was Scott doing a rock a billy version while Slash was doing the drunk version and the rest of the band doing the regular version? XD

[@gst013]

It's amazing that someone with a voice as good as Scott Weiland's can mess up a good song this badly.

[@calus7890]

Honestly, if Scott weiland hadn’t sung this and someone else did like David lee Roth it would have been great, he was the only one that really brought them down

[@NJTransit1985]

I like Slash, I like his playing and I like his personality but he doesn’t play this kind of music well.

[@BPoweredLove]

He didn't mess it up. He was mocking Dave with this performance. Dave was driving the band crazy in the days leading up to this. How can you think Scott couldn't kill this song if he wanted to?

[@michaelprice7005]

It's weird...When Van Halen covered someone elses tunes it almost always sounded great, but when other bands play a Van Halen song it just sounds like a talent show.

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Van Halen literally owned every cover that they remade. Their stamp was truly impressive.

[@bluesoddity2094]

What a fantastic and precise way of describing that exact feeling! EVERY time someone lays VH it sounds like that, bad talent show. Jesus, how many times I've cringed.... ugh! It's why I don't jam with guitar players.

[@plantaoimobiliario9870]

pretty woman is an example

[@saulocpp]

A talent show band would have done much better than this... but give some credit to DLR, that douchebag can piss off anyone to the point of making them forget how they play or sing. And people actually missed that idiot in the band, WTF.

[@joydivsion77]

This is way more enjoyable than a good rendition 😂 fucking hilarious especially Scott’s singing 😂

[@grainin93]

Mick Jagger called, he want his moves back

[@paul311emain]

I first seen Mick..then it hit me, he’s doing Michael Jackson lol.

[@Beckicat07]

😆

[@yoshipopthelemur]

Slash is a great guitarist, but he’s no EVH

[@quantumxfluxmd6821]

I have never had so much trouble hearing either a van halen song, or Scott weiland sing. Holy fuck, this was an absolute disaster

[@jandjeaster]

David Lee Roth was probably writhing in agony listening to this .

[@MsBirdDroppings]

DLR was supposed to perform with them, but he wanted "Jump," and VR said only "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" or "You Really Got Me," so DLR sat out the entire ceremony.

[@anz2441]

Lol...before before before 😂🤣😂

[@carlodave9]

Laughing more like. The VR version really makes it clear what a genius frontman David Lee Roth was. Not even Van Halen could do Van Halen without him.

[@markcheetah4960]

@@MsBirdDroppings I heard they suggested "Jamie's Cryin," too. No idea why Roth was insisting on "Jump;" Velvet Revolver doesn't even have keyboards.

[@smorgdonkey]

They should have hired Steel Panther and they would have had the closest thing to vintage Van Halen... maybe better than 99% of film.

[@JR-es1sb]

Or Atomic Punks circa 1996-97 with Bart (RIP) and Ralph. That was the best early VH tribute.

[@Mr._Mints]

Well, at the time of this performance, Steel Panther was still known as Metal Skool. They had done a few notable things, but I doubt they were big enough to hire for a Rock Hall induction. Maybe, if they were interested in hiring tribute bands, they could’ve hired the Atomic Punks. But Ralph (aka Michael Starr) and Russ (aka Satchel) were not with the Atomic Punks, since they were in Metal Skool. So they probably wouldn’t have been part of it no matter what.

[@jayou812a]

I have watched bar bands do better.

[@jeremyjames1659]

Me too.

[@Khate999]

This is so sad :( I know what its like to be in a no-name local band and put on a really shitty show, but I don't know what it's like to be super famous and put on a really shitty show. Better than I could do though, then or now.

[@jeremyjames1659]

If you can't sing better than that you shouldn't be playing music period.

[@quantumxfluxmd6821]

Me hearing velvet revolver has done a cover of my favorite VH song: 😲🤭🥳🥳 Me hearing that cover: 😳😳😳😳🤮 Wow I couldn't believe how bad this was and Scott completely missed. Completely awful. Slash had some mistakes too that were off key, but man scott... completely tarnished this.

[@markcheetah4960]

Everyone except Roth sounds bad singing this song. It doesn't have a melody; it's basically "talked."

[@1972BoNeZ666]

MMMM DRUGS ARE BAD MMMMKAYYY 🤔? 🤨

[@marcusmanchego3346]

You don’t bring a Slash to an Ed fight

[@joenew388]

the way he sung it was like devo meets the b-52s

[@review4u88]

slash is awesome but he cant play a eddie van halen part

[@FailingForFun]

spot on.. the intro to aint talkin bout love.. he butchered that badly lol..

[@BokHog]

Heroin is a hell of a drug

[@andzwe]

Well, it at least shows how special Van Halen is (was).

[@Mr._Mints]

Did you come back to this 15 year old comment to update it after Eddie’s passing? 😳 Impressive! 😅

[@wolfm8097]

Of course Slash has to show how he plays different to that era of music. The opening riff and way evh plays with open note strings slaps harder . Slash went the rhythmic route. Still pretty good

[@creepshowcrate]

I hope Weiland served some jail time for this. And Slash at least got fined.

[@erickyap3766]

Best version ever...they been they selves and style's yeah

[@drill2.087]

Slash is no Eddie but that’s not what hurts this performance, Scott ruins this performance. I think with a different vocalist in this track the performance could’ve been a success. And then runaround… wtf was that?

[@toddotterson7568]

The guy from Velvet Revolver, LOL Mick Jagger owns all of those moves already. LOL

[@PuadafaProductions]

Scott was willing to play the game. Just wasn’t willing to give up heroin

[@tbash96]

It was actually coke and MDA

[@Delta1up.]

@@tbash96 Ahh, I didn't know that. I had also assumed it was the brownstone so thanks for the clarification!

[@cphdotdk]

Sounds like Slash is hitting a few wrong notes in the intro part. Amazingly bad version of one of the most awesome songs ever.

[@Beckicat07]

Sounds like he didn't tune his guitar & hit lots of wrong notes.

[@adamwatson6916]

@@Beckicat07 slash always was plays out of tune. It's as if his tech does not now how to intonate a guitar and les Paul's sound terrible for van halen tones . Van halen tone is brown les pauls so not do that very well .

@@adamwatson6916 LOL! Yes I think you're right. Slash never seems to bother with tuning his guitar. Foo Fighters should have done the indication. They do a killer cover of "Ain't talkin bout love."

ROFLMAO 😅😆

[@DiscoStfu]

oh lord This entire induction should have been canceled and/or not aired. i watched the whole thing and grew more and more uncomfortable with every minute WTF

[@NJTransit1985]

Hey Weiland, you’re covering Van Halen not The Rolling Stones

[@Jack-hk1cc]

Swing and a massive miss

[@keymaster430]

It would've been cool to see Slash play the Frankenstrat, but I'm sure his endorsement with Gibson forbids him to play anything but a Les Paul.

[@keithsullivan5815]

No slash can play others, I know he has a signature guild double neck that i think he's been playing this last tour

[@michaelbadour8455]

I expected worse. After listening a couple of times I actually like what these guys did. This is what you get when egos & excess presents no shows. This had a punkish free feel tribute. They made it new. Eddie was more of an artist than a musicians musician anyway. Who could really play with the guy?. All due respect, Eddie painted himself into a corner & became one dimentional. Kudos to these guys, especially Slash, for cutting through the B.S. & rocking some freshness!.👊
