Textile paint ginamit ko. Pang tela siya, nabibili sa National Bookstore. Ginawa ko lang pag magpapaint ako ng isang line, maglalagay ako ng dalawang masking tape sa gitna ng gagawin kong line, tapos pipinturahan ko siya para straight yung line. hehe

EVH is the reason why I started playing the guitar. :) Bumili ako ng Guitar World magazine nung siya yung nakafeature. It's about the making of his new Wolfgang. Inabot ata siya ng 2 years dun sa gitarang yun.

hahaha dagdag tyo ng topic, sino mas gusto nyo, SAMMY o LEE ROTH hehehe sana walang mag away opinion lang, for me, there is some kind of magic pag si Lee Roth, Sammy is a great singer or even better than Lee Roth but iba talaga ang dating pag si lee roth ang nagpeperform hahahaha

sana they come up with a new album. hindi yung puro na lang palit ng signature guitar hehe :-D
From what I read, they're already in the works or process of making a new album. But I think they're planning of touring again first in 2010 then they'll finish the album. The band started to jam and rehearse a couple of months ago. With Diamond Dave of course. :wink:

who do you think is better? never heard a van halen song w/ wolfgang
Same lang, I guess..you know, Michael's part isn't really that hard to cover for he has never been a technical player in the first place. With that said, I would still love to see Michael Anthony back in Van Halen. Iba pa din ang all-original syempre. Yung last tour ng VH si Wolfgang na ang nag-bass dun, search mo na lang sa youtube.

yes michael anthony`s bass part is not really hard but it blends and give way to eddie`s guitar playing performance and showmanship wise, i`d still go for michael anthony
wolfgang playing michael anthonys bass part is not really that amusing i still need to hear him play a new van halen song w/ his own stuffs

___________ btw. May nabasa ako. Habang nagse search ng amp settings ni EVH.
May nabasa ako na. Yung string hieght daw ng guitar ni EVH e unknown.
Pero ang sabi daw ng mga nakagamit nung guitar nya. Mataas daw yung action! :o
hmmmmm. Ibang klase talaga yung tone nya. :-)
eto paborito kung playlist.
Jump, Beat it, Running with the devil, Top gun(main theme)
sya ba talaga yung tumira nung sa Top Gun (main theme) Hans Zimmer??? parang tone nya yun eh?
anlufet tlga, so ibig sabihin taas ng action ng guitar nya tpos he can play llike that ung akin nga mdyo baba na action medyo hirap na eh
so far ang mga technique na gustong gusto ko kay eddie is ung tap harmonics at ung pag pick using thumb and middle finger tpos free ung index finger pang tap (hirap nga lang mag tremolo pag ganito set up so kelangan din tlga magshift ng pick to thumb at index finger :P

if you want the old EVH sound and you have a good sounding amp. I'd go for a Duncan 59. iv'e tried the pickups mentioned above except for the gibsons. I'd also recommend a dimarzio fred. of course this is my personal opinion.
good luck po sa paghanap. :-D

thanks a lot chief, actually i want something versatile that can sound both the old and new EVH sound, getting the best of both worlds hehehehe btw heres the link why i included the gibsons sa mga choices ko and actually number 1 sa choice ko is the gibson 498T http://www.bestcovery.com/best-guitar-pickup-for-the-van-halen-tone

Wanna get the EVH tone?
According to EVH's tech, this one nails it the closest. Pati siya umorder:
If you're getting it, get the authentic one. Support the guy who designed this!

Brian Wampler makes awesome pedals. He's a friend of mine at Facebook. Support him by buying his stuff! You're assured you're getting authentic tones from him if you buy from him instead of clones.

just tested the pickups of my HP special EX the bridge is around 13k and the neck is around 16k napaisip tuloy ako...... di ba dapat mas malakas ang output pag nasa bridge at mas lower output pag nasa neck position na pups? baka baligtad ang pagkakalagay ng pups sa gitara ko? so nag search ako sa net and found this http://forums.peavey.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=2455 baket kaya ganito pagkakalagay ng pups sa HP special? ganyan din kaya sa wolfgang? sir ganyan din po ba ung specs ng pups ng wolfgang nyo before
anybody can answer my questions? thanks in advance

www.wamplerpedals.com (check out sa dealers nila; I got a Triple Wreck from Bossing boss; sa bananas site niya kinuha) www.indyguitarist.com
People can offer clones basta may schematics and parts. Kahit sino actually. Similar to people cloning the Emma Reeza. Pero makikita mo after nila makuha clone andaming lumalabas diyan sa classifieds. Pero you rarely see the genuine Reeza get sold again.
In the end, you wasted your money whereas if you get the real thing, you are ASSURED you are getting the ACTUAL pedal tone and feel. Hindi malapit, kundi the ACTUAL one - that is more satisfying and won't leave you in a mystery.
Point is buy from Brian Wampler and/or the dealers of Wampler pedals. He's a great guy and has provided us great tone with his own designs. Such people should be supported.
Still can't get over the Pinnacle tone! EVH na EVH!

First time I heard Eddie was when my friend bought the first album back in 1978, he he... I was into the blues then.. Clapton, Beck, Zepellin. etc.,, I really could not connect with Eddie's playing!! It was like ...wtf is this guy doing? So weird!! Is he in a real hurry or what, he he..!! really did'nt appreciate the whole VH concept at first, then a tune connected... Ice Cream Man!! Okay!! the blues!! but when the solo was being played, I had the same thoughts again...hell, what's this guy up to? why is he playing that way.. is he crazy or what? after that I never listened to them for months.. but kept hearing them in the radio ( You Really Got Me)...It slowly sunked into me that the whole guitar thing was brilliant.. I was just shocked to hear something totally different from the norm..I started copping his licks but could not figure out the triplet thing.. it was impossible..no one has fingers that can reach that long.. ha ha. and here in the PI, there was'nt much info on the band or MTV, etc. I was thinking.. does the guitarist have really huge hands or twenty fingers..is he a mutation.. ha ha.. when I finally saw a video of Eddie doing his thing... It occured to me how normal and rather small he was, not a Jimmy Page or a Hendrix "Guitar God" image and his guitar slung rather high rather than the cool low position and most of all, how simple yet noble and ingenious his hammer-on technique was and why has'nt anyone thought of it before, then later it was called "tapping" in a guitar magazine. Since then, I was hooked, even to the point of completely destroying my Les Paul, boring a hole to fit a trem(deeply regreted years later), just so I could imitate his dive bombs. ever since, I was always on the lookout for any article on Eddie and the band in any media possible, up to today! Everytime VH put out a new album, we'd all go like, what's he doing now? how's that done!! Kids today find these things as a no brainer, but back in the time, it was a lot different, no Steve Vai, Satriani, Malsteen. Only Eddie!! He he I'm probably the oldest VH fan in the Philippines at 52 years, my colleagues get shocked when I put on a VH record and they tell me that I'm ïsip bata" or di na uso yan. It's quite lame actually, hearing these comments from people who don't have any idea on what Eddie has achieved. I'm really glad that Eddie is still appreciated today despite of the negative things and bad decisions in his life, he's just human and just hope his recent rehabilitation will be permanent. Still cannot stand his looks today, though, because of the drugs and alcohol, looks too old and battered for his age. Hopes he gets healthier in the future so he can go back to the studio and make more music that we love. Hope that he also comes to his senses and begs Mike back into the band (Wolfgang can play the keyboards for all I care.. he he.. talented kid, though) Influence wise, Eddie still casts a giant shadow on the music world and his playing will live on forever, IMHO.

Wolgang is a good bass player but he can't sing. Hehe. I too hope that Michael Anthony will come back to VH. There's nothing like the classic lineup. I'm gonna see Chickenfoot tomorrow (a surprise gift from my awesome wife) and I'll try to take a few pics if possible. I wish that VH will tour again and record a new album.

Lucky you and amen to a new album. Wish Van Halen had the tenacity of KISS when it comes to touring and album releases!! Seems Eddie is more on the endorsement scene lately, guess he's gotten old and somewhat tired of doing the same thing year after year. As the genius and the inventor and businessman, maybe he figures there's not much left to prove so better move on to new interests.. he he.

52 years old is young dude. Hats off to KISS. Gene and Paul are Jewish businessmen. They know their craft well. Hehehe. You're right, EVH is just cashing in on the endorsements. I just kinda wish that he would record another Fair Warning or something similar before calling it a day. I'm still chasing after that brown sound all these years. There's this guy on woodytone dot com who's obsessed about achieving the ultimate brown/woody sound. Check it out if you have the time.

He he, thanks for the thought, made me feel lighter, KISS is more of a business nowadays rather than a band, guess they have to look out for Numero Uno ha ha..ahhh the elusive brown sound.. closest and easiest approach I've seen so far are the Wampler pedals..the Pinnacle to be precise..all the demos online seem to nail the Eddie tone to the T. But they cost at alot. There's a forumite here (Plugzzz) who makes clones of the pedals on order basis for about half the price and the demos show the accuracy of about 99 to 100% compared to the originals..ha ha, how's that for Pinoy Ingenuity!! hats off to this guy..I'm itching to figure how he did it.. ha ha...as I want to clone one for myself, grrrr. he he.

Hi guys!
Please check this out: http://www.wamplerpedals.com/distortions/pinnacle.html
It is the best pedal out there for that EVH sound. And it is the only pedal that Zeke Clark (EVH's tech) that he recommends for the EVH sound.
You can ask our mod, Poundcake, about his Pinnacle pedal. He likes it very much.
Available at our official Wampler Pedals dealer here in the Philippines: jefisipbata. Check nelldenmusic.com at Facebook also.
You'll be surprised how close his prices are to online prices. :)
Title: Re: VAN HALEN thread
Post by: Poundcake on November 22, 2011, 05:44:44 PM
Yup, I love my Pinnacle Deluxe. Legit Roth-era EVH tone. It's one of the best Brown Sound-type distortion pedals I've owned in my life. And I've owned, used and tested a lot of them, including DIY clones. It cleans up so well when you roll off your volume knob. That's an undocumented feature of the Pinnacle.
It's even better than the SLOstortion, in my opinion.

Post by: Al_Librero on November 23, 2011, 05:58:53 PM
Within the context you are planted on, I'm sure it is.
The SLOstortion slayed too, methinks. It's just that I liked the sound more when I played single notes using the Pinnacle. The SLOstortion is awesome for riffing. That independent boost footswitch is really useful. The Pinnacle Deluxe's boost footswitch only works when the effect is on, unlike the SLOstortion's.

Kahit Mikey ok na. Malabo na si Sammy e. Ang pangit naman kung Van Halen with DLR and Sammy. Ano yun, naging Parokya ni Edgar bigla sila? Hahaha! Habang kumakanta si Sammy, titili si DLR ng mga trademark "ahhhhhhhh-aaaaaaah!!" screams nya hahaha!
It just doesn't feel right with Wolf in the band. Puro gurang tapos biglang may batang nakiki-rakenrol dun. Pero ang good side nyan is at least napapahiya naman nang kaunti si EVH sa paggawa ng kabulastugan kasi andyan yung anak nya.

hahaha i meant to say that i wish sammy was the lead singer again and si Dave pa guest -guest lang. it probably won't happen but i'm wishing nevertheless.
same goes for mikey i guess. rumor has it that Ed and Al wanted Mikey out long before everybody knew. in fact i remember reading about mikey relinquishing his rights for the songs and taking a pay cut just so that he can still play in the 2004 tour. :-(
I guess that's why i'm using Chickenfoot for the moment to satisfy meself whilst the VH family band gets this album out. :)

fan of Van Halen with DLR, love their 1st album (learn their 1st song "Atomic Punk") with Fair Warning and 1984, but i think Van Halen shines when the "red rocker" fills DLR in vocal spot with albums 5150, OU812 (When Its Love, Cabo Wabo) and Balance the most :-D

Madali ako kausap when it comes to VH albums :wave:. I even love VHIII :-P. to this day i'm wondering why so many people don't like it hehe. Problema lang sa mga kanta nila ang hirap i-cover dahil ang taas ng boses ni Sammy and mahirap ireplicate ang Vibe ni Dave!

hirap humanap ng bokalsita ng ka-range ni Sammy.. kaya nung pumasok sa kanila yung bokalista ng Extreme medyo lumamya sila..para sa akin..pero Ed's guitar work laging unpredictable

And for some reason masarap sya pakinggan even though he's not as technical as the next generation of players he spawned. To me he sounds like a sped-up version of Jeff Beck sometimes. Makulit kasi lagi solos nya. A good Example is his solo from "Runaround" Ang galing nya rin gumamit ng symmetrical scales.
Very emotional ang guitar playing nya. ika nga ni Bruce Lee " Emotional Content"

I liked VHIII as well pero may mga basurang kanta talaga dun. Yung "From Afar" sobrang bulok at lalo na yung "How Many Say I" hahaha naiimagine ko si EVH nasa rocking chair at 70 years old na dun sa "How Many Say I" na yun :lol: "Dirty Water Dog," "Josephina" and "Once" are great tracks. Wag mo lang isipin na Van Halen yun hahaha

if you want to have a few glimpses of Eddie's life, punta ka sa bookstore and read a few pages of Valerie Bertinelli's books. That's what i do pag tambay sa Fully Booked.
And howsabout his underrated Drummer Brother? Honestly ,when i wasn't playing guitar yet, it was Alex's Drum sound that got me hooked to them. Signature snare drum sound! 8-)

Malat pa din ako til now! Tinira ko lahat ng mahahanap kong Van-Hagar songs sa videoke during the holidays buwahahaha! Merong "Dreams", "When It's Love", "Right Now" etc. Tapos tinawag ko mga musikero sa province namin at tinira namin mga "Balance" songs :cool:
Gustong-gusto ko din VHIII. I love Gary Cherone! Fave ko of course "Without You". Sayang di nagtuloy yung line up na yun. Actually di ko type si DLR. Layo ng range kay Hagar at Cherone e. Hindi melodic. Pero if it's from Eddie, kahit sinong singer pa, it must be good!!!

Dude, there's nothing about Van Halen you don't love, it's disturbing. Lol...
But yeah, Fire in the Hole is a great song, which will sadly never be played live again by the band along with everything else not sung by DLR.
Hahaha! I'm quite a fanboy, am I not?hehe! :wave:
What you said is true, Al. It's just a shame that song will never be played live again. Most people don't even remember VH3 bearing such a classic. "Fire in the Hole" was definitely one of the reasons why I went out and watched Lethal Weapon 4. :razz:

Van Hagar music lives on with "the other half." They usually play the hits with the Waboritas, Sammy's other band. With DLR, it's strictly VH to 1984 and the two tracks from Best Of.

One of the reasons why it was really difficult for me to appreciate VH3 was that I thought they went too experimental with their rhythm playing. A common thread among all their greatest hits up to Humans Being was that all of them had a groove or hook that everyone can follow and stomp their feet, bob their heads or even dance with. With few exceptions like Fire In The Hole, the album didn't really have that. VH3 is a testament to the band's great sense of rhythm. Unfortunately, it also showed that many of their fans do not and had a hard time digging it.

Let's talk about something else for a change... what are your top three favorite Van Halen albums and why?
I'll start:
1. Balance – Some of the most inspired angry soloing from Ed. "Aftershock" and "Don't Tell Me (What Love Can Do)" was absolutely amazing rockers. Plus, I'm still having trouble pulling off that ascending chromatic tap run somewhere before the outro of "Big Fat Money." Haha.
2. Van Halen II – Really awesome brown sound tone going on here. EVH's guitar was sitting on top of the mix. My favorite tracks are: "Somebody Get Me A Doctor", "D.O.A." and "Outta Love Again."
3. 5150 – This is the album that made me a true blue Van Halen fan. I'm sure most of the folks here were all equally perplexed about how EVH pulled off that "siren" tone in his solo on "Dreams." Favorite tracks: "Why Can't This Be Love," "5150," "Dreams" and "Love Walks In."

Van Halen - i love.. Runnin With the Devil, On Fire, and of course their rendition of You Really Got Me and learn to play my 1st Van Halen song Atomic Punk :-D
Van Halen II - para lang syang continuation ng Van Halen but with more interesting chops...fav tracks: Somebody Get Me A Doctor, Dance The Night Away and Beautiful Girls.
Balance - The Seventh Seal, Aftershock (by far this song needs no introduction :lol:) and Don't Tell Me .
special mention ko yung album na 1984 - yung kanta nilang Hot For Teacher at Panama mas ok pala when im watching them live thru DVD. :-D
Title: Re: VAN HALEN thread
Post by: stringman on January 09, 2012, 05:56:33 PM
My favorite would be the F.U.C.K. album and 5150. Balance was also good kinda stripped down.

Ahhh... well oo. To be objective, Mikey wasn't an exceptional bassist. Steady lang. Kahit yung bass solo nya mostly theatrics lang e. Wolf is a Van Halen, so wala na tayong tanong tanong dun kung saan nya nakuha yung chops nya haha

I always felt that VH3 was the extension of "Balance". In VH3, they kind of picked-up where they left off. I don't know. That could just be me. Their shift in groove and time change were already pretty evident in "Balance". And when Cherone came-in, they pretty much banked on the opportunity to showcase the result of their experimentation. Sadly, yeah, most VH fans weren't ready at the time to embrace the band's new direction, sound-wise. <_<

This kind of question has always been hard for me to answer. I always feel guilty, afterwards. I find this too tough for me to answer as I love all VH albums.
But when pushed against the wall and forced to give an answer, I would have to say:
This started it all. The holy grail of shred guitar and a bunch of mind-boggling/blowing guitar techniques and/or tricks that have never been previously done or heard. This album also gave birth to what would be the benchmark of all the frontmen who came and emerged post-1978.
This album made the Ernie Ball Musicman company rich...really rich!haha! :razz:

3. 5150 - Dahil sa "Love Walks In". I love every bit of a Van Halen ballad! "Dreams" din inspiration ko to push my pipes and reach some nasty high notes!

DLR looks like Steve Martin right now. I like the younger Roth compared now, we won't be seeing his stage antics. But i'll wait for the new album.
Actually, in their last tour, DLR still does his crazy signature wushu moves, on which he holds a high degree. DLR also took private BJJ lessons from former UFC champ, Matt Serra. Just a trivia. :-D

Sa mga interviews nya kc sa Rolling stones magazine talagang pissed off cya kay EVH.
That's normal sa mga nagaaway. Pag galit ka, syempre makakapagsalita ka din ng di maganda just to get back at the other party. But deep inside, am pretty sure they've realized na petty lang naman ang problema and pina-iral lang nila ang pride and ego nila dati.

As far as I'm concerned, Ed has been sober as of 2006. He now, in fact, sometimes lights an electric cigarette and he no longer drinks ever since he came-out from rehab.
You just caught 'em on a bad day, perhaps. Plus, little does anyone know, EVH was nursing a partially-injured right elbow all-throughout half of the tour. So that could be a factor why EVH was not in his best element that night. Majority of the reviews stated they rocked like no other. :razz:
Yah! Sure din ako hit 'tong album na 'to! VH rules! :wave:

Medyo nga, but the difference in tempo should help keep people from minding.
My other honest opinion:
Music... nice groove, though I'm not sure if the outro really goes well with the song. People always gripe about Michael Anthony's backing vocals no longer around. The new songs should be fine (well, at least this one is).
Guitars... one too many layers. But that's just nitpicking. EVH is one of the best there is when he's in form.
Lyrics... and people accused Sammy Hagar for having weak lyrics in the first Chickenfoot album. :-D Looking forward to hearing more thoughtful lyrics. Then again... this is DLR we're talking about.

As far as I'm concerned, Ed has been sober as of 2006. He now, in fact, sometimes lights an electric cigarette and he no longer drinks ever since he came-out from rehab.
You just caught 'em on a bad day, perhaps. Plus, little does anyone know, EVH was nursing a partially-injured right elbow all-throughout half of the tour. So that could be a factor why EVH was not in his best element that night. Majority of the reviews stated they rocked like no other. :razz:
Yah! Sure din ako hit 'tong album na 'to! VH rules! :wave:
hope to get the chance to see them again live with this new album :)

Listened to their new single again (this time sa studio ko na). Ganda ng mix ng song. Pure EVH tone!. That sig drum sound of Alex. And Wolfie's tone may konting dirt. Ganda!!!
The chorus' hook is unmistakable. Yung verses medyo di ko type (pangit kasi boses ni Roth e hehehe. sorry maka-Hagar ako. mas type ko pa Cherone over Roth),
Sana may magandang ballads sa Album. Long live VH!!!

the best EVH guitar for me is still the Musicman incarnation. I just love the 4X2 headstock of Ernie Ball! And IMHO it got even better when they moved the switch to the current position in the Axis.
But of course soundwise i wouldn't know because i haven't tried a Real Musicman Axis hahahaha!

I've tried all non-BFR types of Axis guitars (Axis FR, Axis Supersport, Axis 25th Anniversary, etc.) and an actual EVH signature EBMM. They all sounded and felt great. But that signature on the headstock gives the EVH EBMM some extra mojo! Trans purple QMT pa naman yung finish...

the song grew on me, I had a bit of disappointment when I first heard it, same feeling when"Jump" came out, as it's not what I expect from one of the best hard rock acts, but its been my last song syndrome for the past days, my guess is that there will be several heavy hitters hidden in the album, besides VH is known to put the out the pop tunes out first for commercial purposes then let the afficionados see for themselves what lies within the album. It makes sense.

If not for him, his father would still have been a mess, maybe dead, who would've known, so no van Halen, no new album. So if you analyze it, he should get the credit for the current sucess the band is enjoying. He's the one person, that Eddie loves and respects high above the rest.

Yes. A lot of people, especially the purists, do not realize how integral Wolfie's role was to his father's reformation. Ed battled and conquered his demons for Wolfie. Wolfgang gave EVH the inspiration to live a fruitful life, to pick-up the shattered pieces of his life and gave him the chance, when most people were already writing Eddie off, to once again redeem himself from the transgressions of his past.
The result? "A Different Kind Of Truth." And for this, Van Halen fans will forever be in Wolfgang's debt. :razz:

Hey, hey.... what's with the Chickenfoot heckling here!?
Hagar has actually been pretty level and honest about the recent buzz around Van Halen. Is there any actual news of the contrary (user comments underneath articles don't count)? So, he said that the new VH album contains old material that were even before his tenure. So what? Was he lying? I don't think he said it all sucked or anything. I didn't read any ill will between the lines.
Tattoo is little more than an old song with new lyrics and tweaked music sensibilities (and ginawang outro yung intro). Is that a bad thing for the band to do? Not really. It's still their own music. Does it imply anything bad? To some perhaps, but it really shouldn't. It's simply the bottom-line.

And about the lyrics... sorry, I still think it's a bit shallow. It's just that some people have the gift of gab, making even silly things sound really convincing and DLR is one of them.
I suddenly remember a Henry Rollins stand-up where he recalls a conversation with DLR. And it went something like this:
Rollins: Dave, I gotta tell you man, a few years ago I was living in Washington DC, and I saw you guys fairly hand Ted Nugent his head, and I didn't think it could be done...
Roth: Henry, I believe that gig was at September 17, 1978 with a gross ticket sales of 15,978 people giving us a total gross of $225,000 on that particular evening. I think the mighty Van Halen sold about 1,131 t-shirts giving us gross of $70,000.
Rollins: How the [strawberry] do you remember all this!?
Roth: Well, what I remember I talk about, and what I don't remember I make up and mix in. Sounds pretty impressive right?
Don't get this wrong. Henry Rollins thought it was hilarious (I do, too). But that's the way it is with DLR.

No, no, no. We're not really heckling or harassing Chickenfoot here. With all honesty, I think they're good. It was just a funny thought that had he (Stone) stayed with Van Halen, he'd probably be where Michael Anthony is now. In Chickenfoot. ^-^ Though said with little spite, I admit.hehe! :idea:
Quote

He ain't lying. VH has been pretty vocal about using some old materials on their new album, anyway. Van Halen does that all the time. The intro to "Top of the World" can already be heard as far back as 1984 as outro to their hit "Jump."
But with this remark, you can tell that bitterness still lingers, at least for Sammy. It's pretty obvious, is it not?

I don't think so. That's just what the Pinoy die-hard EVH fan in you is hearing.
Besides, I don't see any reason for anybody to be bitter about anything at this stage. VH is doing great, Chickenfoot is doing great. All of them are rich bastards doing what they love and attracting legions of loyal fans out of it. VH is still tapping on old stuff for their new album. But you get my point if I opine that they've all moved on. The only people seeing things that shouldn't merit attention, or worse, things that aren't there, are the fans.

Yeah. Imagine how mind-blowing it was listening to that being played in 1977!

No, not really. I wasn't being a die-hard fan when I said that. That was just how I interpreted Sammy's statement 'coz most folks who knew of Sammy and Ed's past would think the same. And for that, it's kinda hard to take that remark at face value. But of course, I could be wrong.

+1
Objectively speaking, I believe Van Halen hit their musical peak during Sammy Hagar's time. Lalo na between For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge to Balance era, grabe talaga. Music-wise, Hagar added so much more to their band dynamic than Roth ever did. Hagar sang the Roth-era tunes and sounded great, but I don't think Roth can do justice to any of the stuff in the Van Hagar catalogue. But I don't think that Eddie will ever want to perform any Van Hagar tune live, anyway. He still has that big ego of his to deal with.
And Hagar can actually play guitar quite well. I remember their performance of "Love Walks In" in the Live Without A Net DVD. Hagar sang lead vocals and played the lead guitar stuff as well, allowing Eddie to play keyboard. Save for a few bum bends, I thought Sammy did a great job.
Love Walks In (live):
But that's fine, I'm just happy that they're back to rock the world. Roth's still a pretty entertaining frontman and EVH still has his mojo intact without even without his drugs or booze fix.

Face-melting solos by King Eddie. DLR sounds decent to say the least. Wolfie's a lot better than Mikey and he can sing the harmonies just fine. Al's killing it on the drums as well.

Seems Ed's got his second wind, he's like on top of his game even without the booze/drugs fix. I was kind of worried he'd become a tamer version of himself after getting sober but from what I'm hearing, I can safely put those worries to rest. He's obviously wisened up and has been high on life these days, thanks to Wolfie, Janie and possibly Rev. Al. His parents must be smiling from up there.

Sexy, indeed! Trip ko din yung golf shoes type ni Ed diyan e.haha! Bagay sa porma niya. Mahirap nga lang mag "Jump" sa ganyang shoes.haha! Yan din yung gamit niya sa official video ng "Not Enough" e.
I feel sorry for one of Eddie's green QMT Wolfgang guitars, though. Yun yung na-smash sa last show ng 2004 reunion tour nila :( Sana binigay na lang sa akin yun!

Mas gusto ko shape ng EVH/ Axis of course. pero mas reachable yung Peavey Wolfgang special eh haha.
Trouble with never sounds promising.
And lets all thank http://www.vhnd.com/ for keeping us VH fans updated!
Reg, PJHC (Chawi) has the Axis NOS yata from PJC alam ko mura na lang binebenta. Kung wala lang ako gastos masyado I would've bought that guitar.

Spot on. From my viewpoint, It's the soul that commands the body, so it's not entirely in his hands. I guess it's one of those things that are materially unattainable no matter how hard we try, attributes which can irk even the richest and those most gifted with envy.

Yef! EVH was a tongue cancer patient some 11 or 12 years ago. And he was declared cancer-free in May 2002. But the doctors had to remove roughly a third of his tongue to save him.
EVH's case was a medical breakthrough. Ed was the first tongue cancer patient to have been cured under a new medical procedure. The medical experts asked the King if he would be willing to undergo a procedure that's still in its infancy. Ed agreed, of course. They made EVH a human guinea pig, to say the least.

Yup okay na yun. Mas naunang ginamot yun then yung cancer na. Nagkaroon siya ng chronic avascular necrosis. Ed underwent hip replacement surgery for this. One of the reasons kung bakit di na siya masyado makatakbo at makatalon.

I absolutely agree. His tone was groundbreaking at the time. But listen to the songs released " post Van Halen" dami na gumaya.
IMHO It was the way he played and his approach that changed the game.
Title: Re: VAN HALEN thread
Post by: alalala on February 02, 2012, 11:20:32 AM
If you analyze his tone, it is not that dirty, specially the solos, it's almost kind of a snappy, almost single coil type of sound, some experts have said that his original Frank pickup was shorted because it did not sound like a humbucker at all. Eddie had admitted that he's not after more distortion but more sustain, it's just the way he hits the strings and digs in that kind of distorts the amp, it's very obvious when watching him play, super agressive sa picking. He's got a body almost like Bruce Lee and hands bigger than most his size (hmmm, I wonder about his other body parts... ha ha), so much so that strength is a given. He's a natural athlete. I wonder if he's as good in bed as he is a guitar slinger, Dave was actually jealous of him in the old days because more girls flirted at Eddie than at Dave, and Eddie was'nt even trying to act cute. ha ha.

mga sir tanong ko lang.medyo nahihirapan kasi ako maghanap ng evh flanger at evh phaser. though i can't take a mouthful at the same time so for the mean time, i'm thinking of buying a phase 90. okay na po ba yung phase 90 as a substitute to evh's phaser. nagtanong na din ako sa jb ng flanger pero out of stock.
TIA! :)
Title: Re: VAN HALEN thread
Post by: Poundcake on February 03, 2012, 07:19:03 PM
Ok na yun. Kunin mo yung Script version ng Phase 90 para mas kuha yung tunog ni EVH. yung normal na Phase 90 kasi may harsh highs at mas malalim ang phasing. Mas subtle yung phase effect ni EVH.
Meron akong MXR Flanger dito. Hindi sya yung EVH version, though. striped paint at extra switchna nagse-set ng mix sa "Unchained" tone lang ang difference nung EVH Flanger sa normal na flanger. I can sell it to you if you're interested.

I just listened to my collection of unreleased VH tracks (both cover and originals). I noticed that at least a few songs in the new album were cuts from their live original catalogue circa '75-'77 with reworked lyrics, solos and arrangements. No wonder they sound vintage VH!
Here are some (old song title --> ADKOT song title) Big Trouble --> Big River Down In Flames --> Tattoo (the intro was made into the outro) Bullethead --> Bullethead She's the Woman --> She's the Woman
I'm really digging the new album!

Listened to the album, he he, unpredictable talaga pati mga tiyempo, just a bit ticked off by the frequency of the wah use. Overall yung mga reworked songs ang masarap pakingan,like "Beats workin" and "Outta space". (Parang di ata tumatanda mga VH eh). Also found the acoustic downtown session quite humorous, nakakailang ang acoustic na Van Halen..ha ha.

I'm on my 20th time or so of listening to ADKoT. My current top 5 favorite tracks are (ordered by rank): 1. "Blood and Fire", 2. "Stay Frosty", 3. "Outta Space", 4. "China Town", 5. "The Trouble with Never." Grabe yung "Blood and Fire." It's absolutely my favorite track in the album and I'll even go out on a limb to rank it right up there with the Panama's and the Right Now's. Catchy melody, awesome chunky rhythm work, solid vocal work by DLR and timeless solo. Minor pentatonic tap lick sa outro solo ng "Aftershock" yung bandang end part ng solo ni EVH.
Vocally, medyo may butas talaga since wala yung high-pitched harmonies ni Mikey. Level-up naman sa bass playing, anyway. Wolfie's a monster on bass. DLR's whistle screams aren't there anymore as well, but we can only expect so much from a 57-year-old. Overall, he can still hold a tune, even in vintage Van Halen fashion. Win a lot, lose some. It's a good enough deal for me.
Eddie's playing has improved again. Ang dami nyang new tapping tricks. Those new chromatic licks are amazing as well. May Paul Gilbert/Billy Sheehan-esque guitar/bass runs na rin. "China Town" is a true blue shredder's track. Bastos e. Even yung rhythm parts, sugod e. Sarap. Alex is still the unshakable foundation of the band. Solid groove kahit sa mabibilis na track. I still love the tone of his snare and his high-pitched toms. Idol.

I was listening to the whole album in my car on my way home and damn, I had goosebumps all over! The album is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Parang 21 years old lang ulit sila DLR, EVH and AVH. Especially Eddie. Ed just turned 57 a couple of weeks ago but he's been playing like he just turned 18! Grabe, ang tulin niya pa din. Even at 57. Daming tricks. Sunugan na naman ng kilay 'to sa pagkapa. I also love the fact that Edward used his wah on this album a lot.
Wolfie has just transformed himself into a bada$$ bass player. Alex is phenomenal, as always. Arguably the best rock drummer next to Bonham (but i don't like John Bonham, to be honest). And DLR kicks major a$$! He still got it after all these years. Super tight and heavy nila ngayon.
Panalo yung "Blood and Fire" grabe! Tindi nung solo! Ang tulin! :razz:
An obvious candidate for album of the year.

Post by: Taoistguitarist on February 07, 2012, 06:07:35 PM
this album made me realize this:
EVH spawned the guitar olympics with his jaw dropping solos. Almost everybody after him learned his tricks and approach to the guitar to the point that they have become more technically proficient at it than him! (I even remember a british magazine reporter showing him how to sweep pick and all he said was" i'm too old for that sh@t!" and was admittedly awestruck by the skill of the interviewer who was a die hard VH fan.)
But if you really think about it that' not what he's all about. I feel that so many guitar players do not realize that his magic lies just as much, if not more so, in his riffs!
It's his rhythm playing bouncing off from the signature sound of his brother alex and with Mike's steady foundation holding it all together.
IMHO his riffs are still hard to beat! And a lot harder to emulate. I really hear a lot of funk in his rhythm work. the review said it perfectly though "because when he’s on his game, there’s not a human being on the planet that makes a guitar sound so incredible."

You're welcome! But actually, the VH brothers are just 1/4 Indonesian. Their Mom, Eugenia Van Halen, was half-Dutch, half-Indonesian. And that explains why Alex has the looks of an Asian.

Ngayon ko lang napanuod mga non-pro videos ng "LA Dress Rehearsal" nila. Ganun kalupit si EVH! Kahit non-pro yung sound quality, yun na yun pa din ang tone niya! Grabe! The Classic Brown Sound is really back! Ganda ng tunog nila ngayon. Galing din ni Wolfgang. Ganda ng tone niya may dirt ng konti. And he sings the high notes very well.

let's also hope he does something new when the actual tour comes. As Great as he sounds on the video, it's almost the same solo 20 or so years ago.
But WTH right? As long as he stays sober masaya na ako dun! :)
And look how Wolf has improved!

I agree to a large extent. Up Next is more Bee Gees than old school VH to me. Hehehe.
Satch does let loose more live. I have a feeling that how the song structures come about had a lot to do with the writing and recording process of the bands.
I read a number of reviews and fan feedback. It's sad to see people turning it into some sort of competition -- something I believe should have little or no place in music.

Actually when i was a kid and was not at all familiar with rock music ( MC Hammer Fan hehe) i recognized the VH sound not by Eddie's sound but rather the " Tennis Racket of Doom" sound of Alex's Snare drum. And IMHO it's the sound that hasn't changed that still defines the VH sound. Si Eddie kasi nag evolve na rin yung sound nya di ba? Kaya there's the Hot PAF sound coming from his pieced-together frankie and his Marshalls to the EVH EBMM/Wolfgang/Wolfgang :-P and his 5150's I, II, and III.

Mismo on Alex's drum sound. Di nagbago from that very first drum fill of "Eruption" to "Tattoo".
Yung tone ni EVH slightly nagbago from raw (DLR era) to a more refined, slightly chorusy (Hagar era), and then back to raw (ADKOT). Kaya lang recognizable kasi yung style at technique yun at yun pa rin. Hindi nagbabago. Tone starts in the fingers talaga. Kahit siguro gamitin niya yung rig ko magtutunog Van Halen pa rin.

Actually my first real exposure to VH was the Van Hagar era kaya medyo biased ako sa sound na yun especially the Right here Right Now live album. Tama ka Refined sound talaga. And his approach to solos in "Runaraound" have been pretty influential to me.
Then after that i got to listen to the Roth era albums and i like the tone as well. Raw tone!!!
IMHO though is kinda like both. Raw style but with his modern tone.

Busog tong song na to! Pati yung buntot ng delay panalo. Saktong sakto sa pulso niya.

I think the best thing about van halen live is their musicianship...
1) Honestly, the tone was OK. Thru the P.A., the rhythm brown sound of the EVH III sounded muddy. He had ten heads and ten 4x12 cabinets of which only the lower 3 cabinets were miked. Most of the time around 90%, Eddie used his Stealth version of EVH -- thats right non-maple fingeboard. He did use a Frankenstein EVH version with maple fingerboard on Tattoo.
2) Van Halen's gift is to seamlessly get into and out of sections parts as if it were second nature. Akala mo parang dalawang gitarista. Magaling siya mag rhythm. Most of his leads were squeals and harmonics and he spent most of lead time onthe upper register of the fingerboard.
3) More importantly, their professionalism is best expressed in the most important thing that counts LIVE -- the sound mix. The loudest mix was David Lee Roths and while the weakest was Alex Van Halen's Drums. And quite honestly, only a handful of local bands e.g. Blue Rats at Mandarin comes to mind , do the their mix this way. On the other hand, ang daming banda dito at muskero dito na wala paki sa overall mix -- sobrang lakas ang drums, sobrang lakas ng guitars at walang vocals.

It worries me big time though that EVH's cancer cells are starting to come back. But Ed is still in great shape, thanks to his doctors, of course. There's really nothing to worry about at this stage. Let's just hope that it doesn't develop into a life-threatening case.

since we're showing pics of our EVH guitars..... my current wolfgang (http://eloisamercadogutierrez.smugmug.com/Reg-and-Aisa/Mga-Luho/Gitara-atbp/i-LGpRhP5/0/XL/P1050741-XL.jpg) (http://eloisamercadogutierrez.smugmug.com/Reg-and-Aisa/Mga-Luho/Gitara-atbp/i-wk6tTV9/0/XL/P1050774-XL.jpg) (http://eloisamercadogutierrez.smugmug.com/Reg-and-Aisa/Mga-Luho/Gitara-atbp/i-22R5JQ3/0/XL/P1050773-XL.jpg) (http://eloisamercadogutierrez.smugmug.com/Reg-and-Aisa/Mga-Luho/Gitara-atbp/i-9vG2fbD/0/XL/P1050875-XL.jpg)
this one is no longer with me since it sounded a lot like the wolfie. i traded it for another guitar (http://eloisamercadogutierrez.smugmug.com/Reg-and-Aisa/Mga-Luho/Gitara-atbp/i-qGg9FVn/0/XL/P1050743-XL.jpg) this was my first wolfie that also let go. somehow this particular wolfgang didn't bond with the sound of the stock pickups. Very much unlike my current guitar which sounds great all stock. <_< (http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n232/wuwei5150/P1000938.jpg)
nice collection you got there! \m/

Awwwws, sayang naman. AKo rin, sayang yung pink na EBMM Axis ko at Wolfgang USA na violet. Nabenta ko nuon pa. The latter one was being sold here I think last year for 50k. I tried buying it back but failed. Sigh! Few guitars na pinanghinayangan ko tlga up to now, pati an N4. Hayup na GAS kase yan, incurable tlaga. bwiset! lol

Dream guitar ko yung EBMM axis na pink! Although the EVH EBMM is much more valuable over the Axis, i prefer the Axis primarily because of the added belly cut. :)
N4 may binitawan ka? wow, Bihira ang bumibitaw sa ganun ah. :-o Ako nga n2 lang pero trip na trip ko na! :drool:

Yes chief, it (N4) went to Santiago Arevalo, latino, chief engineer for Behringer pedals when he was here sa pinas. Offered me something I was not able to refuse. lol The EBMM Axis went to someone I cannot name here, medyo kilala kase sya. Sayang talaga.

To my ears, ma-mid at makapal siya. Kahit saan ko isaksak (Mark V, Mark IV, Triaxis, Guitar Rig), "Brown Sound" na modern pa din tone niya.
Hanep din ang neck niya. Ang liit! Nakaka-spoil ng kamay. And yung D-Tuna napaka-stable and madaling hilahin (unlike my Peavey Wolfgang Special).
Similar ba tunog nya with your wolfgang special? My current wolfgang(korean lang) also has this problem na medyo mahirap hilahin unlike the old one i let go.

Medyo similar lang pero mas makapal pa at mas ma-mid itong USA Stealth compared sa Wolfgang Special. Medyo similar siguro kasi yung pick ups ng both guitars parehong nasa specs at custom ni EVH. Na mas singing ang tone nitong Stealth dahil siguro sa wood niya.
Thanks, so compound radius pla.... But if you look at the scale its the same as a strat, hehe bka yung size and shape ng body kayA feel mo maliit.. :)
Mismo. Fender Strat nga ang scale niya. Galing kasi ako sa medyo mas malaking scale (Ibbys and EBMMs) kaya feeling ko maliit itong guitar na to. Yung JP nga maliit na sa akin pero feeling ko mas maliit pa itong Wolfgang ngayon hehe :-D
And you're right yung size and shape ng body maliit :)

Steve Vai in an interview when the conversation went to the topic of Van Halen.
Quote
I was really happy to hear how great Edward was playing. I mean, I was afraid he was losing it; we were all concerned. But I think that he’s in really great form. As a matter of fact, he sounds as good as he ever has to me, and frankly, I’m hearing Dave hit notes that he couldn’t hit when I was recording him. And I think the record is really powerful—it’s kinetic. I can’t listen to the whole thing at one time because it’s almost too powerful, in a way. But I’m happy with it. I’m really happy for them and I’m glad to see them doing it.
Quote
And Edward Van Halen is a guitar god of the highest order. I have immense respect and love for Edward, you know? I would probably be playing the guitar very differently if he never came along. He’s a totally inspired person

Yun naman ang gusto ko kay Steve Vai. May respeto sa mga nauna (and actually pati sa mga up and comers) sa kanya. Iba naman talaga kasi ang naging impact ni EVH nung lumabas siya.
And as much as I love sammy Hagar, in love ako sa ADKOT ngayon. Hindi ko alam na kaya pa i-hit ni Dave yung mga high notes dun. Sana nga lang sa live wag niyang laruin yung vocal parts.

Mga EVH/ VH fans out there, please pray for the King's speedy recovery.
It's Diverticulitis. May mga inflamed "pouches" na nag-form outside his colon. Thank God hindi colon cancer.
Ah yun pala yung Diverticulitis. Surgery nga ang needed then 6 months recovery.
Mahirap talaga pag naabuso ang katawan nung bata pa. Pero matibay si EVH. He survived the tongue cancer and hip replacement. I'm sure kakayanin din niya ito.

I read this in a GP magazine interview. When asked about his thoughts on Kurt Cobain's recent death, Ed went from a smile and started to look really disgusted and he replied " What was he (Kurt) thinking when he offed himself? That's the lowest thing a human being can do, to off himself..does he want to come back as a turd or what?" Wise words at the time. Well. Who would have thought that years later, he would come really close to almost suffering a similar fate. Only God knows what could have happened if Eddie went on living like he did. Good thing he was surrounded by a loving son, girlfriend, and a family that cared, Sure Ed was able to recover, but he paid a terrible price, his voice, the hip, tongue, teeth, now his colon, what's still undiscovered as of now, who knows.. Ed is becoming a Frankenstein himself, no pun intended. At only 57 years old, that's hard.. as he's still so capable and he's been really optimistic lately as far as his career is concerned. He's never played better, been healthier and happier ever since and I'm hoping that this latest event does not bring him down again. I hope and pray that Eddie gets well real soon as I'm sure a lot of us are not yet ready for a world with no Eddie Van Halen in it.

I LOVE VHIII. How I wish na hindi na sila bumalik kay Hagar or Roth during the "Best Of..." albums. Para sa akin ok na si Cherone dati e. Gumulo na naman kasi ang VH camp e. Nung unang best of may new track with Roth (Me Wise Magic), then sa pangalawang best of si Hagar naman (Up for breakfast etc). Magulo e. That time (VHIII) its the best move na new singer na lang.

I stole a lot of rhythm stuff from EVH. Those chunky sus4-major-sus4 riffs are all vintage EVH. I think he got it from KISS (a la "I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night").

Actually mas mahirap makuha or maabsorb yung off beat counterpoint rhythm playing ni eddie kaysa sa lead playing nya. When they blasted into the scene a lot of the bands that followed had guitar players that played their leads that got more technical and a lot faster. but i think they missed out a lot when they didn't bother to study his rhythm playing and the way he crafts a song riff-wise.

Yup, I agree. EVH just loves playing those rhythm parts with displaced downbeats (usually an eighth note ahead of behind "1"). The verse rhythm parts of "Panama" and "Blood and Fire" are some good examples.
Title: Re: VAN HALEN thread
Post by: stringman on February 14, 2013, 08:14:54 AM
Panama is a classic, very simple to play yet very technical when you hear it. The rhythm playing itself expresses Eddies voice in the recording, so even if they switched to a lot of singers the distinct VH sound is there.

And yung vocal lines niya parang nagsasalita lang then sisigaw. Tama! Boring panuorin si Roth nowadays. Add to that yung headset niya! Ansagwa talaga. Si Sammy kahit di na gumalaw sa stage, those power vocals will lift you up.

Sinabi mo pa Pareng Ian. Mas melodic ang mga Van Hagar songs.
Actually mas gusto ko pa nga si Gary Cherone over Roth. Roth is a circus act :) kaya ako na-hook sa VH dati dahil napaka infectious ni Eddie. Kakaiba talaga during the early days.
As for Mikey, mas maganda nga mga linya at tone ni Wolfie ngayon. Mas busog sa low end ang VH ngayon.

Diver Down olats talaga. Yun lang ang ayaw ko hehe. Naalala ko nung nasa province pa ako, ang mga available lang na cassette tapes ay puro "best of". Kaya dun sa "Best Of Van Halen" na cassette tape ko, nagtataka bakit parang nag-iiba yung bokalista. Nun pala dalawang different singers pala talaga hahaha! Dun pa lang stand out na talaga sa akin ang Hagar Tracks. Melodic singing kasi talaga.
I'm wondering is this has as much to do with internal politics as it does with talent.
Well, nabasa ko yung book ni Hagar na "Red". Sabi niya nung si Mikey daw ang bassist, wala siyang freedom to overplay dahil kay EVH. Pero nung si Wolfie na daw, pinababayaan lang ni EVH na kahit anong gawin. Actually si Wolfie pa nga ang gumagawa ng lineup ng VH nowadays.
Pero dalawang issue yan, di pinababayaan ni EVH si Mikey kasi di pasado sa taste niya while si Wolfie mismo ang licks. Puwedeng ganun. Hindi natin alam ang totoo. Pero sa naririnig ko, mas tasteful ang playing ni Wolfie.
Actually kung idolo talaga natin si EVH, magpasalamat dapat tayo kay Wolfie dahil siya ang nagmulat sa tatay niya na magbago. Siya ang namili ng mga songs sa ADKOT. Siya halos ang nagpapatakbo sa shows ng VH ngayon. Siya ang may energy ngayon kaya nahahawa yung 3 lolo :)
hehehe naglalabasan na ang mga van hagar fans! :wave:

Naku malala talaga yung kay VH. Sabi nga ni Hagar pag lumabas daw si EVH dati na naka Samurai Hair, siguradong magkakalat yun the whole night. Akalain mo hiwa-hiwalay sila ng planes and hotels dahil nga ayaw na nilang makasabay si EVH dahil talamak talaga sa alak.

Is it just me or do any of you view EVH as "plastic". I sometimes force myself into thinking that he can't be, but when I see some of his videos and the way he talks and presents himself, I can't help but think that he acts fake at times. parang contradicting yung character niya minsan.

Yes. Mismo mga tapped harmonics niya dun sa kanta na yun. Lalo na yung mga singit niya sa second verse.
Mismo, kala ko ako lng may gusto nun, naalala ko tuloy may magaling na ngcover sa youtube ng top of the world, dun ko inaral mga singit na tapped harmonics
Btw mga sir bka ok lang kung magupload kayo ng van halen licks or covers dito baka madami kami matutunan . Thanks

Van Halen, for the most part, has always been about the songs, showmanship and entertainment. And in that, DLR totally delivers. The reason why I prefer DLR over Sammy is because of the fact that Dave's style is truly unique or one-of-a-kind. He's irreplaceable in essence. Dave personifies showmanship. In Sammy's case, all the VH team has to do is look for a replacement with a high and wider vocal range to match or even surpass that of Sammy's and they're all set.

No wonder Sammy ain't in a hurry to rejoin Van Halen.
Marami din pinagdaanan itong Tequila Business na ito. Dati silang apat ang shareholders, tapos nag-away away, muntik nang magsara, hanggang hinawakan na ng solo ni Sammy. Di na nga kailangan mag album or magtrabaho ni Sammy e. Sobrang yaman na niya.
Dito natin makikita na may disiplina at direction si Sammy. Pati sa pagiging frontman, grabe work ethic niya UNLIKE ROTH!

No wonder Sammy ain't in a hurry to rejoin Van Halen.
I watched a Howard Stern show where Sammy Hagar talked about this, as well as his book. It's funny how Stern kept maneuvering Hagar to say he hated the Van Halen brothers and hated DLR even more across that hour-long interview. Hagar just kept smiling and laughing while saying no.
People accuse him of being bitter about the whole Van Halen thing, telling him to just shut up. But that's the thing, people ask about it -- all the time. His fans expect honesty and that what he gives them. And people focus on the sad part of the story, and not about the happy ones which he also freely talks about.
Yah! Good thing Sammy has good business sense. Otherwise, he wouldn't earn as much. Thanks to his tequila. :-D
One of the interesting things I heard in the interview was that Hagar actually took a pay cut when he first joined Van Halen. He had the sense to get himself a good record deal while Van Halen was struggling to manage themselves. Yes, the tequila has set him for multiple lifetimes. But if I were to deduce financial trajectories had Hagar not join VH, I wouldn't doubt that he would be very much set financially, as well. Same footing as, if not higher than the Van Halen members? Maybe.

Here's a preview of what LL Cool J and Eddie Van Halen have in store for us. Great stuff!
Errrr, why does the guitar sound as if the signal went through a 100-foot guitar cable?
Two things (my guesses):
1. Vox is intentionally over-powered to highlight LL's rap or the stanza. 2. It's a Youtube clip. The manner of how the file was ripped is highly questionable.
Besides, LL said it's the solo we should watch out for. It's his favorite part of the whole album. :-D

a noob question, what kramer model was the kramer 5150 based on? I'm trying to get my hands on a cheap but copy.
No particular model. It was a hybrid guitar assembled by EVH himself at the Kramer factory and even painted it himself as well. It was first believed to be a Baretta, though. But it's not. From what I remember, the body was actually a Kramer Pacer Special. It also bears a neck that has an asymmetrical back shape. First time Kramer offered this kind of neck to any of its guitars. The EVH EBMM and EVH Wolfgang are believed to be modeled after this back shape for total comfort.
The pickup was custom-made by EVH himself. Seymour Duncan offered EVH to let 'em make pickups just like his and market it as the EVH signature pickup. But for whatever reason, it didn't materialize. That design later became what we now know as the Seymour Duncan Custom Custom. The headstock design was also a first for Kramer.

From what I read in the past, the humbucker that EVH used on his Frankenstrat was a legit Gibson PAF that came from and old ES-335. He then did several experiments on that humbucker, including beeswax/paraffin wax potting, etc.

Yup. EVH actually widely (albeit not intentionally) introduced pickup waxing. But on the 5150 Kramer, from what I remember, the pickup was built from the ground up by the man himself.

Here's a funny story:
Yesterday, as I was driving along Recto-Mendiola on my way home, I passed by a McDonald's that sits right at the corner of the street (forgot the name) near San Sebastian College. Now, there's something I noticed in that store that made me pull-over immediately. I had to get-off the car just to take a second-look and confirm what I saw. When I finally realized it wasn't just something illusory, excitement kicked-in! Ha ha! I properly parked the car, went inside McDonald's, ordered my favorite Double Cheeseburger and took this picture...

Nung hindi ko pa naiintindihan ang politics sa music industry, nung nilabas nila yung "Best Of...Volume 1", akala ko balik full time na talaga si Roth nung time na yun dahil sa 2 new songs na included sa album. Now sa tingin ko Warner Bros. lang talaga ang may gusto na gawin ni Roth yung 2 new songs na yun. Kasi pagpasok ng year 2000 bumalik na uli si Hagar with 3 new songs sa another (better) "Best Of...album". Then alam na nating lahat na di na nag work out yung Van Hagar kaya lumabas na yung VHIII with Cherone. Ang tsismis is ready na pala mag 2nd album ang Van Cherone e kaso hindi na pumayag ang Warner Bros. Di sila satisfied sa kinalabasan ng VHIII. I can't blame Warner Bros. In the end sila yung nalulugi e.

Nauna lumabas yung VHIII, pare. Diba 2004 pa lumabas yung Best of Both Worlds, yung 2-disc greatest hits album nila? 2003 pa bumalik si Hagar sa Van Halen tapos nirecord nila yung "It's About Time," "Up For Breakfast" at "Learning To See." Nung 2003 na lang nila sinulat yung mga bagong kanta, sabi ni Hagar sa RED book nya. Si Steve Lukather pa nga nagbackup vocals dun sa tatlong tracks. 1998 lumabas yung Van Halen III. Meron akong narinig na drafts ng new tracks sana nila sa second album with Cherone, pero medyo so-so lang.
Pero oo, tingin ko Warner Bros. lang ang may gusto magdagdag ng dalawang new track sa Best Of Volume I. Although hanep yung "Can't Get This Stuff No More" pati "Me Wise Magic" ha, hehe. Pangtest ko lagi ng tap harmonics sa gitara yung intro/outro nung "Me Wise Magic."

Ah!!! Sorry!! :-D Oo nga pala! Ganito nga pala yung nangyari: 1. Best Of...Volume 1 (DLR on 2 new tracks) 2. Van Halen III (with Cherone) 3. Best Of Both Worlds (Hagar on 2 new tracks)
Ako trip ko vocal lines ni Roth sa "Me Wise Magic". Di ko ineexpect na makaka-hit pa siya ng high notes nung time na yun. Eto nga pala yung time na dapat kukunin nila si Mitch Malloy. Pasok na siya sa VH pero biglang may isang music awards event na lumabas yung VH kasama si Roth. Nakita ni Malloy kaya feeling niya echepuwera na siya kaya umatras hahaha! Di niya alam inis na inis pala ang VH kay Roth nun. Kaya siguro biglang naghanap uli ang VH camp ng vocalist kasi umayaw na si Malloy kaya pumasok si Cherone.

Ang lamya ng Van Halen siguro pag si Mitch Malloy ang vocalist. Actually, maganda ang performance ni Cherone with both Roth-era and Hagar-era VH songs ha. Kuha nya yung range ni Hagar at yung mga party screams ni Roth. Yun nga lang, ang OA yata ng stage antics nya. May nalalaman pang pagulong-gulong sa sahig e. Hahaha!

Kaya nga for me, sana nag stick na sila kay Cherone para maiwasan na yung Roth Hagar drama. Antagal na nun e. Paikot-ikot na lang sila. Si Cherone mismo sa kahit anong materials e. Yung stage antics niya dati pa yun sa Extreme hehehe.

Sayang si Cherone, very talented pa naman sya. Palpak yung dalawang project bands nya (Tribe of Judah at Hurtsmile) at medyo underwhelming din yung Saudades de Rock. Busy rin kasi si Nuno sa touring band ni Rihanna e.

Grabeng VH Drama talaga. Pang teleserye e. Sa RED na book ni Hagar grabe yung mga binulgar niya dun. Pero para sa akin kasi, si EVH talaga ang dapat masusunod. Siya ang may alam kung anong direction pupunta ang VH e. Thank God nagbago na siya. Buti andiyan na si Wolfie para umalalay sa kanya.

One of my favorite tracks in Van Halen III. Kung di mo ico-consider na Van Halen ang tumugtog nito, ang gandang kanta nito e. Sarap talaga mag-rhythm si EVH. One of the best rhythm guitar players in history sya in my book. Kahit solos at fills nya built around his rhythms, not the other way around.

Yang tone niya diyan ang gusto kong ma achieve. Piezo yan e. Sa bridge kaya? O nasa dulo ng fretboard ala Ghost? Ganyan yung rhythm tone ng "I Can't Stop Loving You". Sana ibalik niya itong tone na ito sa susunod na album although pang Hagar fronted VH itong tone na ito :)

I totally agree! Best of both worlds 'tong si EVH e. Mapa-rhythm or lead, total badass e! :razz:
"Fire in the Hole" is my fave off the VHIII album. Maganda 'yung album, actually. I guess hardcore VH fans back then were probably not ready yet to see their all-time favorite band being fronted by the guy who sang "More Than Words."
And yes, angas ng "Me Wise Magic." :razz:
Gusto ko din 'yung Saudades de Rock ng Extreme. Fave track ko dun 'yung "Star." Grabe si Nuno sa album na 'yun. On fire!

I love VH3. Ako lang ata naka appreciate nun among my VH friends when it came out. For me it revealed a different side on their songwriting.
And I loved Saudades de Rock! I really feel Nuno learned a lot from listening to EVH. Nuno's rhythm playing included :mrgreen:

VHIII's, shall I say, "failure," wasn't really much about the songs, but the fact that Gary was singing 'em and fronting the band. Hardcore VH fans back then just couldn't grasp that idea. At the time VHIII was being made, EVH had asked and offered Gary to just live in his guest house within his cathedral-esque mansion so both men can totally focus on their songwriting.
The amp is super tight, rich, full bodied and have lots of sustain. Clear pa din ang notes kahit sobrang taas ng gain. And of course, mismong mismo ang "brown sound".
Sobrang lakas nitong 5150III kaya gumamit na ako ng attenuator.

I guess Ozzy and Co. kicked the ass of whoever booked Van Halen as their opening act. lol.

Ozzy got fed up with Iommi in the end, so I guess when Randy Rhoads knocked on his doorstep, he was like" Hallelujah, my saviour has arrived!" Ozzy actually admits that his solo career would not have taken off that well if he had not met RR.
Not sure if this is genuine, there are some articles stating RR and EVH had met on some occasions, with Randy actually asking Ed how he kept his then un-Floyded guitar in tune and Ed declining to share his secret and Randy was clearly disappointed at Ed's attitude.

True story. This was in L.A. It was actually Rudy Sarzo who verified this rumor in one of his magazine interviews. Well, we can't blame EVH, can we? I mean, had Ed been truly open about his innovations and discoveries back then, I don't think he'd be where he is right now as a guitar player.

I agree, Ed had every right to refuse. Back in the club days, Alex used to shout at Eddie to turn his back on the audience when tapping and doing his other tricks for fear that he might get ripped off, he even hid behind the marshall at times, top secret tapping, he he. I guess Randy assumed wrong, maybe he was so used to sharing what he knew because he was a teacher.

According to Becker, Roth has donated to the ALS cause. Regarding Van Halen, he hasn’t heard from him, but “it doesn’t matter. Eddie has done so much for me. It is incredible how much he has helped me and my whole family.” Becker says Van Halen “saved” him and his family when they were having a major financial crisis, and he also got Warner Bros. to release Becker’s 2001 album Perspective. “So,” says Becker, “[Eddie] doesn’t have to get wet.”

Peavey EVH Wolfgang EX/EXPs had always been a hit-or-miss kinda thing and were more about aesthetic fidelity compared to US-made Wolfgangs. The hardware parts that were used in the Asian models contributed a lot to Peavey producing so many duds. My old MIK Wolfgang Special EX had a cheap Floyd Rose bridge that had a screw cap (instead of a screw-in) whammy bar. The tuners used were lower-grade Grovers. The pickups were allegedly the same as those in US-made Wolfgangs but my ears heard otherwise.
Maybe you did luck out on your EXP.

Probably so. But when i got it the fret buz issues were there. So i had it refretted to jumbo. And I replaced the Cheapo Floyd with a Gotoh and eventually one of my last stocks of the Oversized Brass Blocks. Huge Difference in tone. :).

Ayun na nga. That's where they did their cost-cutting. Fretwork, hardware and overall QC in general. It's pretty much the same with the Fender Wolfgangs. The US-made models are much better in terms of build quality and consistency. I tried all of the MIA Wolfgangs at Tom Lee Cameron Lane a couple of months back. Around 6-8 din yun. Pretty much consistent quality.

Rumor has it that Ed at one time wanted so much to be the lead guitarist for KISS.

Sa mga hindi nakakaalam ang tunay na pronunciation ng apilyedo niya ay Van HA-LEN (Dutch, as in Ha Ha Ha...He's 100 percent Dutch BTW)
Not the Americanized ''Van Hey-len'' that we always hear
The Van Halen brothers aren't 100% Dutch. Their mother, Eugenia, was Indonesian-Eurasian. Ever wondered why Alex looks so Asian? The brothers pronounce their last name "the american way," so, really, it's no big deal. Unless, of course, they're speaking in Dutch.

I was lucky enough to snag a few tickets to watch Van Halen live last October 2. It was almost sold out and the only seats available that were closest to the stage were at the sides by the middle areas. But still, it was an absolutely incredible experience!
What a lucky man you are! Envy mode is so freakin' on!

I was actually hoping to catch 'em live the last time I was in California, but, to no avail. Hopefully, by next year when I comeback to the States I'd be able to watch 'em.

Consider checking this video out if you want to consider the Peavey 6505 mini vs. the EVH 5150III LBX. Hint: 5150 has lesser features (two post-gain channels--you'll have to dial down the guitar's volume for a clean tone), but those are features that it would do so well. The 6505, as the reviewer mentioned, has a Swiss Army Knife approach (has a clean channel! includes a tube status indicator! USB record-out!) and costs lesser than the 5150.
