:-) They're a pretty famous Rock band from the 70s/80s here in the states.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Van_Halen
 
He is ranked as one of the world's greatest guitarists, and one of the most influential rock guitarists of the 20th century. In 2011, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Van Halen #8 in the list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists. In 2012, he was voted in a Guitar World magazine reader's poll as the #1 of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" over Brian May of Queen (#2) and Alex Lifeson of Rush (#3).[1
 
--------------------------
Mark did an impressive job covering Eddie and nailing his sound to a tee...

I listened to this a long time ago and thought I commented.   I loved it.  Now my favorite Robby vocal in the past few years.  Not easy to channel DLR but you nailed it.  Mark's music is great.  Exceptional work, guys!!!!  Stay on the meds, Robby!  You sound great.  LOL!

That is the ****enest bass sound I've ever heard.
EDIT: I didn't know the forum would automatically insert asterisks. The word I used is an old slang expression, rhymes with "twitchenest." These days it would probably translate to "That is the awsome-est bass sound I've ever heard."

Mark is the shizite... I'm blessed to be able to work with him. There are "many" people on this forum who are literally musical geniuses... 
 
I personally am a generalist? I'm a pretty good singer? An OK guitarist? An OK bass player, an OK keys player, etc... So I count myself among the "pretty good?" 
 
I've had the opportunity to work with some of whom I consider to be "the best..." on this forum? And the best here, IMO can stand up to the best anywhere... I am extremely happy and appreciative to have been given this opportunity.
 
My thanks again to; 
 
Mr. Markno999
Mr. Timidi
Mr. Frank Tanton
 
Many others as well, Bapu, Phil Doyle, Janet? So many talent musicians here who have given me a chance to contribute to their wonderful music. I am truly blessed to have known you all. Thank you so much for the opportunity. Even that freaky deekly dude who used to play with Ted ;-)
 
****!!! Mr. James Yo YO YOOOO! At the YOYO Factory!!! And others? Gary Reynolds? Grant Starr? All "amazing talents..." And I am so thankful... SO THANKFUL! To have had the opportunity to work with such great musicians and producers.... Seriously, these people "all of them" and especially Mr. Markno999, I thank God for all of them. 
 
For others not included specifically? You are not disrespected, I respect you all? And I appreciate that you let me contribute. Thank you all.
 
Jesus! Mr. Scottytunes! My nemisus... I'll never be as good as he is, that bastard... *Scotty you know I love you.
 
And Janet, you know I love you (in a platonic way?)

Mark - fantastic production.  Everything is so lively.  The kick drum and snare are just perfect - they pop through the mix - love that sound.  Guitar work is excellent.  Robby - vocals are excellent!

Warren - Thanks for checking back.   I used your advice from the last mix and I am sure that it greatly improved the bass sound.    Appreciate it.
 
Larry Jones - Appreciate the comment.   I was particularly interested in opines on the bass because I usually used Trillian for bass, this is the first bass part I have played and recorded.    It was a lot of fun to record.
 
Geno - Thanks for the listen, appreciate it.   Used Addictive Drums for the drum parts, 70's Kit.

They edit "stupid things?" Things which are in no way abuse? Or in no way bigoted? But I don't think they control it? I think it's part of whatever app they have running... 
 
Mark does have the guitar/bass/and drums down "HARD...."
 
He does :-) We've done a few? I hope we can do a few more.
 
Thanks for your comments.

Enjoyed this immensely.  Really good job on covering this tune.
Van Halen tunes are not easy to replicate well and you did it.
The vocals have really captured the feel of the original David Lee Roth swagger.
Way to go!

Interesting rendition. The vocals sound more like Sammy Hagar. At least it wasn't a cheezy cover of Eruption.

Your version of this song is superb! Great vocals and lively playing. It does not sound "cover" but stands on its own feet.
 
Thanks for sharing. :)

I normally have much disdain for cover songs in general.  Unless they are done really well in comparison to the original, or when the new version is completely different, or an improvement on the original.  In this case, you all did a fine job of re-creating the original song!  It was listenable...and, I didn't get bored listening to an oldie.  Again.
That is not easy to do.  But, it looks like you've put a good amount of time and effort into the project.  Nice....

:-) Mark is "the man..." Much respect... He did all but the vox and I did all of the vocals. It's getting harder for me to sing like that as the years pass. My wheelhouse is more pop-rock. We have a couple left in us as colab partners (I hope) And maybe more less aggressive ones. 
 
P.S., I tried to do the bass, but he was too much of a perfectionist to accept my comp'ed offering and elected instead to use something else. Thank God he's not a singer! Or I'd be out in the cold!!

Wow guys, great job!
Mark's guitar stands up to EVH's standards, right down to the harmonics and "pinches". Bass sounds good, and you did a good job programming AD to get the right sound on the drums.
Mix is good to my ears.
And Robby!! EXCELLENT job on the vocals bud, you nailed DLR right down to the attitude.
I'm most impressed!

I don't know why but Soundclick never plays. You can click on "play hi fi or lo fi" for months and it never works.

Notation, the original DAW. Everything else is just rote. We are who we are and no more than another. Humans, you people are crazy.
