Drop Dead Legs 'in the room audio'

Another one, just noodling, one take, warts and all...recorded with my wet/dry/wet rig, amp wide open, running at about 67 volts.

I get the question often - "what does your rig sound like in the room."
So, this is what it sounds like "in the room." iphone video / audio, no studio or added effects.

Who says Eddie is gone? When you got guys like Jim keeping the music alive at this level, you’re keeping Eddie alive.

Ah, that was so well done. Drop Dead Legs was incredibly unique. Eddie's style had a such an unmistakable signature on it. Nice playin' Jim.

You did a fine job, my fellow Gen X'er! Gone are the days of wearing out the buttons on your tape deck as you 'stopped', 'rewound', 'paused' and 'played' until you learned the song bit by bit...1984 is a brilliant album!!!

[MarcoPolo-jeej]

Wow. You've really captured Ed's tone. And kudos for playing it correctly. 👌🎸

[Guitargate]

Yeah buddy!! Excellent job on an extremely difficult groove to feel.

[beachcomber]

Just hearing those chords makes my F'n day! Major magic in that song. You sure nailed the tone!!! Sounds fantastic.

I've been playing for years and never appreciated how this was played until now. Nice Kramer! Great job!

[AlternateUniverse]

Spot on Jim, great job and keep pumping out the vids, can't wait for the next tone vid. Just bought my first tube amp last week (evh 5150 el34 w/ matching 212 cab) and can't wait to shred on it. Also wanted to say, way to keep eddies legacy alive! wether its you doing covers podcast or tone deep dives we as fans of guitar, Eddie and Van Halen in general appreciate your attention to detail. Greetings from San Antonio Texas !
