Speaking of Van Halen..
On Sunday night I went to see a Van Halen tribute show in Melbourne called In Halen and they rocked! It was a tribute to the DLR era, and they put on such a good show. The drummer was dressed up like Alex with the headband and all and the big long tom things on his kit.... the bassist looked just like Michael Anthony & even had the Jack Daniels bass... the guitarist looked alot like Eddie, did all his stage moves & faces and really had his sound & feel when he played... then there was the singer, OH MY GOD hahahahah! He was such an over the top David Lee Roth it was awesome!
He comes out in orange spandex with a g-string over the top and bandanas tied around the bottom of his legs and a bottle of Jack Daniels in his hand with 2/3 of it left, and by the end of their 1 hour set he'd polished off the whole bottle hahah. He spoke in David's accent & voice and every word he uttered was in a sleazy breathy voice and making passes at the chicks behind the bar and everything... he even goes "So did everyone watch the grand prix today? I had to miss it coz I was having really intense sex at the time!" (the Melb grand prix was on that day). His voice & stage moves were exactly like DLR too. It was such a fun show, the band just really captured the whole crazy vibe of early Van Halen perfectly!
Then Melbourne's best Kiss tribute show came out and played 2+ hours with idential replicas of their Love Gun costumes, walls of Marshalls and a big drum riser and the fully functional Kiss lights as the backdrop, with a full pyrotechnic display throughout their set and even had 8 strippers from a local strip joint get on stage and strut around topless hahah. It was a huge show!
Anyway I'll let you all get back to the topic haha!
