Hey guys Ken Tamplin from Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is in the
singing. What would a vocal coach reaction be
without doing a vocal coach reaction to Van Halen. So as some of you know my
cousin was in that band later on he took David Lee Roth's place his name is
Sammy Hagar but I'm gonna do the David Lee Roth version and the song is called
"You Really Got Me" and it's at the US festival in 1983. I have not seen this
but I'm looking forward to it so here we go.
That's a lot of people
Okay this epitomizes glam-rock right and David Lee Roth was the master
I mean entertainer, the guy was just you know on fire all the time, he was
hilarious. He's kind gone a little.. a little bit off the deep end
lately from you know I don't know maybe he got into his head or something but
Eddie's always been a phenomenal guitar player and Eddie sort of wrote the book.
I mean if you were to say like who would be one of the greatest rock guitar
players of all time I mean Eddie's certainly would go straight to the top I
think so maybe not the top to some but definitely way up there anyway this is
the US festival and man there's a lot of people there but it's interesting to
how they're just enjoying themselves. Now the other thing I think is interesting
about Van Halen is without..they took David Lee Roth out of the picture. They're a
three-piece band so you've got once Eddie's not playing rhythm, they you got
Michael Anthony and he's the only guy holding down the band, you got Alex
Van Halen too but I'm just saying as far as instrumentation goes. So it takes a
lot to create that kind of energy and have that kind of big, fat, full sound
with only three guys, three instrument, three instruments. So let's continue. Oh
um I had wanted to add one more thing. This song was one of the first Van Halen
songs I ever heard and it actually sort of set the stage for you know how
popular they became so quickly okay so it was the old Kinks song "You Really Got
Me".
See him strut, just struttin down.
And it's cool Eddie and Michael Anthony could sing those backups so well.
Look at those buns you can see these buns hanging out of the saddle pants
he's got.
David waving those chaps man.
Okay now I have to make one more comment, I was gonna make you before. So I made a
comment about how great the background vocals were and then all of a sudden
both of them were off the mic in their background vocals so they're obviously
running tracks for the backgrounds which is kind of sad because they don't need
to do that. I've seen them so many times where they've not done that but anyway
that did happen. So if you go back and review the tape that did happen but it
just man David Lee Roth is so funny to me, he's just just like a caricature or
something he's like not a real person right and then you've got Eddie with his
faces you know as he's playing all his solo stuff he's also kind of a
caricature too so character and caricature okay I guess that's it for
that tune anyway. We could play more of this.. them. I'll probably do more
reactions to Van Halen cause I like them a lot but great performance, great band.
Just you know ruled the world for so many years, it's just amazing so thank
you for joining me Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is in the
singing and until next time peace out.
