The Aztec Camera sounds like the Rolling Stones “Waiting on a Friend”.

The Aztec Camera reminds me of when Dave Lee Roth did a bluegrass CD of Van Halen classics.
Richard Cheese remake of Hot For Teacher was not bad. It made me think of the Brian Setzer Orchestra.
And Hellsongs I could not get through but over all the songs were ok.

Yeah, the only good one was Hot For Teacher….

Hmmm, interesting takes on a couple classics. Hot for Teacher was probably the coolest of the bunch - kinda sounded like Sinatra in Vegas.
Hellsong’s Jump sounded like a bunch of stoners sitting around a campfire.
Didn’t expect the guitar solo on Aztec’s Jump starting at 3:40

Props to Richard Cheese for the cool cartoon.
But, to twist these classic songs is almost sacreligious.
The two versions of jump were horrid. At least the hot for teacher i could at least listen to for a bit.
Van Halen is like an artistic masterpiece and shouldn’t be tampered with at all.

I really liked the twist on HOT FOR TEACHER…I always did like swing/lounge style tunes, and this was done well.

The Hellsongs version of Jump was on Classic Rock’s September issue cd and I cracked up after the first few bars. Don’t need to hear it again. But they got attitude.

ROFL! I’ve always wantedto hear that aztec camera version of jump. I had always heard it was like a suicide dirge, so I was slightly disappointed. But it was ok for waht it was. The lounge hot for teacher was okay but got old quickly.

I really tried to make it through all 3 songs but could only make it through “Hot for Teacher” and the cartoon is the only thing that kept me going.
VHRule #1 You can’t even try to remake a VH song unless you have an electric guitar in the band.
