Sunday Afternoon in the Park is so unique and so original. As a VH fan, Ive loved this track since I first heard it and yet somehow it never got old. Maybe because of those reasons? Such a great job on this! I applaud your dedication on this cover!

[@inasimplerhyme]

Thank you so much! I always loved the track too, and doing this cover made me appreciate it even more!

[@BionicBrady]

No dude you right about this song. Ita so fucking dark and bad ass. I recall the first time I heard it and I was like wow what the fuck was that. I still hear that every single time. This song is absolutely amazing

[@svartmetall]

Excellent! Really enjoyed this, thanks for posting :)

[@inasimplerhyme]

You're welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@pez334]

Absolutely amazing! Van Halen was my first concert I ever went to back in 1981 and one foot out the door is still my favorite Van Halen song

[@inasimplerhyme]

Thanks so much! What an experience that must have been!

[@billdivine9501]

I don’t know why this song got no radio time. It should be played on air today!

[@hotlanta35]

Awesome guitar solos

[@DavidLee0227]

Outstanding! I never knew that was the keyboard he used. Your smile says it all. 😊

[@OzCouchPotato]

Good Lord, mate! Been a fan of VH since their first album, and love this obscure track, especially when played on my modern car sound system with the bass turned up. You can literally feel the vibrations through your seat! I have always wondered how the sound was made, so I did a quick search on KZbin, and here you are.😄 I never knew, and to think those sweeps were made by the air pressure from Alex's drums! Incredible. I wish they had done more of this type of music. Thankyou for your efforts. Ya gotta love KZbin, eh?😅

[@inasimplerhyme]

What a spectacular comment! Thanks so much for the kind words, and I'm glad I was able to help solve your mystery!

[@scottgilbert1885]

I can't get enough of this!! Genius, brother!!

[@inasimplerhyme]

Thanks Scott! You were instrumental in reminding me of Dweezil's podcast so I could do this more accurately. Thank you!

[@j.edward4379]

Awesome! I always wanted to see the intros to what I believe are Eddie's greatest solos.

[@inasimplerhyme]

Thanks! And agreed, the solos are killer!

[@j.edward4379]

@@inasimplerhyme I wish their video showing Eddie playing that solo that comes later. But I do know now how the beginning is done. Thks

Amazing. I never thought about what synth he was using on these tracks.

I had no idea ether until Wolf played it on Instagram a few years ago!

[@DeeJay003]

Great stuff man. Subbed !

[@inasimplerhyme]

Thanks so much!

[@walterevans2118]

VERY GOOD indeed.......This was such unorthodox stuff ED was creating back in 1981 ....You've done really well re-creating this. 👍

[@inasimplerhyme]

Thank you very much for your kind words!

[@walterevans2118]

@@inasimplerhyme Actually Wolf his son recently used this device on one of his own songs on his debut album…After a time gap of 40 years he had to ‘wipe the dust’ off it but It still works really well on there.

BTW Thanks for reminding me how much I love "In Simple rhythm ". I haven’t heard it in years.

Dude that was awesome! I think Ed said that working with that thing was a pain in the ass!

Nothing sounds like this, great job man. Is there a hidden sensor in the chassis where you tap your right hand?

[@inasimplerhyme]

Thanks so much! An no, not a sensor. Just cheap construction. The back of the synth is literally cardboard!

Does the Electro Harmonix have CV in/out?

[@inasimplerhyme]

It has one mono output for sound. No input.

[@wperdew6078]

Nice.

[@inasimplerhyme]

Thanks!

[@MetalHeart8787]

That small Mini Synth sounds great, do you have it connected to an AMP? or is it just that synth?

[@inasimplerhyme]

Thanks very much! It's recorded direct, and then I put some plugins on it in Pro Tools. And it's actually two keyboard parts. Check out the isolated keyboards vid to see both: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJjaf3pqoJqcmJY

[@rs52594]

Will you be doing When It's Love anytime? It's just the same sound as Dreams and Love Walks In, a piano midi'd to an Oberheim OB-8.

[@inasimplerhyme]

Actually, it's there's a bit more on that track. There's other keys mixed in, possibly including a Roland D-50 and/or Yamaha DX-7, so I'm not tackling that one quite yet.

[@akfreed6949]

[@zakkcovers18]

[@hazor777]

Wouldn’t a Electro Harmonics POG come close to this , if using specifically guitar?

[@inasimplerhyme]

Not a guitar guy, so I have no idea. Maybe? Hopefully someone else can chime in.

[@knightfall9394]

There was a guy online yrs ago who transcribed this for guitar, i cant recall his pedal set up but i do remember the low e string was tuned down a bit from standard tuning. As far as the pog goes im not entirely sure how that would sound, most of what ive heard guys do with it tends to be on higher kind of range sound rather than the low tones you hear here

[@AllenGarberGuitarFun]

Nope.😊

[@Pnut-qd4em]

Hi , it sounds just like the recordings! on Sunday afternoon.. It looks like you are tapping notes where the word "SYNTHESIZER" is written on the Synth, is that a feature or is your hand obscuring you hitting notes on the keyboard?

[@inasimplerhyme]

Thanks! Not a feature - more of a fluke. When they recorded the original song, those synth stabs were an accident. They were triggered by the sounds of Al's drums! Since they were recording the synth directly to tape, Ed could be right next to the drums while recording. The synth is pretty cheaply made, (the back is literally cardboard), so it's susceptible to things like sound pressure, or tapping, as in my video. So my tapping replicates the power of Al's drums.

[@Pnut-qd4em]

@@inasimplerhyme ah i see, sounds like an unstable circuit design. I really like the sound of that synth , really raw and dark

[@the_AtomicPunk]

Wait, it wasn't on an OB-Xa?

[@inasimplerhyme]

Nope! The Xa wasn't used until the album 1984. This is an Electro-Harmonix Mini Synth.

[@BionicBrady]

BTW. you kinda look like Eric Clapton!
