Oh God This Makes Me Happy
Here's what happens when your backing track is accidentally run at 48K instead of 44.1K. Yep.

"I can’t tell which is funnier, this long-hated cheesebag-anthem turned into a much more interesting, atonal mess in front of thousands of paying customers or the hilarious soldiering on of the Van Halens as they look at each other from inside the trainwreck. Eddie tries to transpose on the fly and match the wildly fucked up keyboards but the great thing there is the difference in pitch is non-musical - about 1.5 semitones sharp. So there’s no frets he can choose to fix the problem!"

several things...it would have to be 48k played back at 44.1k...as their playback format is 48k.
and they do the song in C# now...not C...eddie's guitar is in C...as footage from other shows (not to mention, bass is in tune with keys)
i think ed got the wrong guitar...
regardless, it's a picture perfect train-wreck...i like this version best - NOW it's an anthem.
what a mess. i remember seeing rob zombie on the mtv awards show years ago & the same sort of thing happened. funny if you ask me. not a van halen fan at all.
this totally fucked up my hangover real good.
thanks Van Halen! YOU GUYS ROCK!
ok, this site has made my hangover somewhat enjoyable. I'm gigglin on stuff like:"what a great fuckin colors this comment posting page has, it's like chocklate coffee with milk"
We had a bandmeeting with Trio Pussit and we went in and out like 6 or 7 different bars in helsinki. The best entry was when both of us went inside a bar and screamed:"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
Did you know that in Helsinki subway (which is horribly orrange) you can do weird stuff and nobody cares. Everybody is like sitting silently and watchin out from the windows the same thing they see everyday. One time one guy killed this poor young man with an axe. That was horrible.
Nirvana's lithium is fuckin great.
I started to play bass when I was like 12-11 years old and saw a picture of chris novoselic playing bass and lookin cool as hell.
Hangovers are great, do you agree?
This is what happens when you outsource your band to some robot in China.
the funny part is the lemming fans cheering for more.
...back in the day day Ed would have ran off stage and came out rocking with the correct axe or pulled the plug on the keyboard.
...this is borderline Brittany Spears. Just not as many dancers.
...this is pop. did you see that blow up mic? (yeah Dave, we know you have enormous things between your legs. now get over it.)
..this is Van Halen on their 'Hang over tour'
next stop Helsinki!, maybe they'll do a Lithium cover. sub pop version.
hahahah! I wish!
But then again, I'm gonna go see something way cooler than blow up mics between legs!
Rush is coming to town in a week.
My first time.
