August 23, 2015I'm a huge van Halen fan, so my expectations might be a little too high. To be honest, I was a little disappointed. The first thing I noticed was the guitar player in the lead singer were too overweight. That might not be a big deal for some people, but if you're honoring a band whose reputation has a lead singer and guitar player as being in shape and cool looking, it matters quite a bit.
The guitar playing was adequate, the crowd asked a couple of times for it to be turned up. He took a few shortcuts on the eruption solo, but it was adequate too. He was clearly wearing a wig. He played bass on Aint Talkin Bout Love, and the bass player played the guitar. After that song, they switched back. The drums and bass were actually very good. The drum intro to Hot for Teacher was played perfectly. The singing was done well, again though it's the weight factor.

Thanks Steve. We did want to provide a little more context around this specific free gig for people reading the review. There was concern to cancel the show after we already set up the stage due to the storm that came in since we were on outside stage. Our sound team was able to wrap their PA system in tarps as the lightning blasted overhead and we kept our gear covered during the storm. We kept telling people who braved the weather we did not know if we could play or not, again being outside and storming. Eventually, we decided the rain had lightened up enough that we could play for those who stayed, but some equipment had to stay covered. Free event or not, we wanted to entertain the folks who were there as much as we could given the circumstances. We hope you catch us at another show and see us at our best when not caught in a lightening storm or check out our videos to enjoy the performance.

November 24, 2014I hired VHT for our Holiday Kick-off Party, they were awesome! Not only did they look and sound like Van Halen they were willing to do whatever it took to make our party a success. From the start George was in constant communication with me, from discussing the venue to offering ideas to make our party the best! I would hire these guys again in a hot minute!

July 7, 2014I've always been a Van Halen fan so I was very excited to relive my youth and experience VHT but wasn't sure how anyone could pull off Eddie's guitar abilities. Not only was I impressed with George Mangos, lead guitar, but with the entire band who totally rocked the house. From the beginning, VHT had the crowd amazed. I just wish they would play near me more often.

July 7, 2014Had the opportunity to see these guys at The Concert Pub in Houston, Tx. The 1st thought that went thru my head was 'There is no way they can keep this energy up for 2 hours' and did they prove me wrong! In the end, it was 120 minutes of my favorite songs from a band that made you feel part of the whole experience. Very professional guys who are approachable and down to earth nice guys. I'd love to see the guys again whenever they play out.
