VHLinks House Band?
I’ve been trying to figure out a way to do something fun with the site, and I know we have a lot of musicians here. I know most of us play guitar so finding guitar players is not going to be a problem, but the other instruments may be. But I noticed some sites have member bands that play covers and they put those covers on YouTube. AC/DC has a fan site that does it and they get a ton of views and it’s cool.
I’m putting this here rather than the guitar room because I want everyone to see it not just people who play guitar. Just a couple caveats if we’re going to do this. I only want to do this the right way. So you have to be able to have access to good recording equipment in your house or wherever in order to do this. You can’t just throw a microphone in a room and try to put this together, it has to be a quality recording. I know right off that’s going to eliminate a lot of people’s ability to do this which is why I am just putting some feelers out for it. Secondly, you have to be willing to show yourself on video and record yourself. Now you don’t have to show your face, but you at least have to show your body playing the instrument. Below is a link to one of the AC/DC videos that the fans put together to let you know what I’m looking to do.
I haven’t seen really any VH fan sites do this unless they were already a band or something, and I think it would be cool for all of us to collaborate together.
So just post your thoughts. I realize this is probably going to take a long time to get together to find people who can and want to do this and then coordinate it. But I would like to just get an idea if it’s even worth it, and if there is any sincere interest to do it. I have no problem coordinating it, I just want to see if it’s going to be worth the trouble. I can’t believe AC/DC fans can get something like this together for a site but we can’t.
I also don’t care if anybody looks like anyone in Van Halen or sounds like them. I’m more interested in playing the songs well with a good quality recording. That’s all that matters to me. Van Halen is a very difficult band to replicate and I don’t expect that we can replicate it exactly. But I know we have enough good musicians here that can pull off a solid recording.
Again I know it’s a big undertaking but I would really like to try to put it together. I will probably put this on our Facebook page but I wanted to start here with people who post on the forum first.
Also if you know anyone you think might want to do this check with them and see if they’re interested. I would rather it be people that just post here, but if we’re struggling to find musicians I’m willing to look outside for anyone else who might be willing to take part.
Edit: One more thing you have to have a thick skin because you know how people are assholes on YouTube. You have to be willing to accept that because I’m going to leave comments on for the videos. There’s trolls everywhere. So just make sure you are cool with that as well. You know there’s going to be some haters.

Great idea! If I had a way to record in my condo, I’d be down but I don’t at the moment.
Excited to see the finished product!

Great idea. Just promise to never release it if it comes out like this.

What are you talking about? Noel Monk was fired before Dave quit the band, so there's no way he knew about why Dave quit. Dave was there with the rest of the band when they fired Noel's ass. All four...
