A couple years back, we featured some Van Halen covers by Jacob Deraps, a young Canadian guitarist who’s absolutely tearing up Van Halen classics. In the new video above, Jacob once again collaborates with Australian drummer, Josh Gallagher, and together they perform an incendiary cover of Van Halen’s “On Fire.”
The results should make you proud of how this younger generation not only swings, but also is waving the Van Halen flag while keeping the rock and roll torch burning into the future! What amazing talent!
Jacob tells VHND readers, “We are also very proud to appear on Van Halen News Desk, it’s an honor. So, thanks VHND, and we hope you really enjoy the video!”
Last year, Jacob and Josh recorded their cover of Van Halen’s “Loss of Control,” which you can watch here. Jacob recollects, “There’s only a few covers of this song on YouTube, and it’s a very hard song to play on both drums and guitar. We are very proud of the result and had a blast doing it!”
