  • -What If Nuno's Delay Pedal Broke During Flight of the Wounded Bumblebee?
    ***Delay Pedal Settings that I used: 220 milliseconds, one repeat, then I made the repeat as loud as the initial sound. 👍🎾
    Had to paint the nails black for this one in honor of Mr. Bettencourt.
    Thanks for watching.

      @@bradchervel5202 It's underrated specifically because it's different. Gary brought an odd swagger to what otherwise would've been regular Van Hagar songs. People found that to be off-putting because he was so different from Sammy.
      Also, Van Halen's own music was really starting to change with For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge and Balance, both of which saw fans scratching their heads. By the time VH III came out, they'd gone from "Black and Blue" to "Pleasure Dome" to "The Seventh Seal". Oh sure, we also had "Poundcake", "Runaround", and "Can't Stop Lovin' You", which were really easily digestible, but it was obvious the band was getting darker and more experimental from one album to the next. Less party and more hangover.
      Gary straight-up rocks, but his style didn't mix well with the Van Halen hangover. Personally, though, I was hoping to see more. I really wanted to see what they could do with Gary fully integrated with the band before they started writing material.

Now that we know that he is human due your video, I am depressed that I now don't have an excuse to explain why I still can't sound like him after 30 years of trying.
