  • Dude's got the chops and tone DOWN!

    Mean Street copyright Van Halen. Demonstration of my EVH RUDE replica played on my 5150iii with a guitarless backing track. This guitarless backing track is ...

    Looks like he's got the chops down, but the tone is awful in that vid IMO. Very distant sounding. So bad I had trouble discerning the notes he's playing. I'm guessing he's just using the mic on his video recorder. Would likely sound much better if he'd close mic the amp.

      His playing is quite skilled. Designing the headstock in the shape of Eddie's cancerous tongue goes too far though.

          I went to his website...Apparently he replica'd every early VH guitar that there was...down to the most minute details ...a few of them I had never seen/heard of ...but I guess if the guy's THAT much of a VH historian...he'd know better than me.

            I'm guessing it sounds excellent in the room, but the cheap mic he used ruined it IMO.

            Whatever the case, YMMV.

              +1 the mic was probably cheap because the tone did sound bad IMO as well.
              This is what I think of Gibson since 1993. I HATE BEING LEFT HANDED! I rock out to Baby metal because Wilkinsi said I can't listen to Rick Astley anymore.

                So, explain to a knucklehead like me, how did he get the guitarless backing track?

                    That head stock just plain bothers me. Can't tell but that looks like an early Floyd sans fine tuners.

                      So is that just him alone in that room with a 5150? Hell I like the sound of a Blackstar IC30 at that volume. Tommy D.

                          You can purchase tracks from karaoke sites for cheap. You can also take out parts that you don't want. You notice that Panama track was not original VH. This is how a lot of new cover bands survive today. They can't really play. They just buy these tracks and pretend. Unfortunately, I've witnessed it several times. 99% of people don't know the difference. Especially when they are drunk.

                              Yeah, pretty much sums it up

                              I would find it awesome to be able to play EVH, but in the end if I end up 'just' an EVH wannabe, I took a wrong turn somewhere
