Did you see the logo?  Why is it all of a sudden the Best of Both Worlds Tour when he’s been playing that basic setlist for 5 years or so?

They should do this one from the Montrose days:

 

 

[Xanadoood]

Satriani butchering these songs. It’s a ways away til the tour but damn.. he’s not even close. You can find countless YouTube guys covering VH better.

Isn't that what he's doing?  

 

He's not calling it a Van Halen tour, just letting people know he'll be playing them.

I love Satch but watching him struggle with Summer Nights brought a smile to my face.

Old flabby dudes doing Summer Nights, I can't keep watching this.

 

Why can't the old guard like Sammy and the Stones write and perform new songs, about having to get up in the middle of the night and other prostate issues?

Here's a guy they maybe should get, this is an ok cover but the guitars are definitely on point.

 

 

[treeduck]

Here's a great cover of DOA, who else does DOA?

This guy does the best EVH imitation I've ever heard, tbh.  The singer is Hal Sparks.

 

 

[Rick N. Backer]

Dweezil does a good job too.  Makes you appreciate how incredible EVH was because he CREATED it.

You've hit the nail on the head. Eddie came up with all that stuff. The others just do a crude pastiche by comparison.

Note the difference:

 

 

 

Satch ain't even close.

 

ETA:  Just read this online.

 

"... in a forthcoming interview with Guitar World, Satriani alludes to the group’s recent Howard Stern appearance, noting: “I royally screwed up, which hurt like a thorn in my side, but I'll get over it.”

Watching Summer Nights......yeah no. 

 

I wil keep my memories of the 5150/OU812/F.U.C.K. tours. 

 

These guys are way too old......and with all due respect to Satch who is a great player.......VH does not suit his playing nor tone. It’s just not good.

Isn't that what finish what you started is about?

[TexMike]

IMO, the best guy to be covering for Eddie on a tribute tour would've been Nuno Bettencourt.  But he's likely too busy with Extreme.  Since Satch is already tight (and a former band mate) with Hagar and Anthony, I doubt they even considered anyone else.

Michael Anthony and Wolfgang need to bury the hatchet. LET'S GO!

Then they can toss a coin for who gets Satch's job.

[treeduck]

One thing thing about Sammy he's the best man alive for the One Man Band version of Van Halen.

[treeduck]

Back in the early 80s the biggest rivals of Van Halen? It was Journey. And the referee was The Who:
