Former Van Halen Drum Tech Says Band Filmed Shows With Multi-Cameras [VIDEO]

by Jeff Goebel — updated March 29, 2024 Leave a Comment

On The Jeremy White Show, John Douglas – former Alex Van Halen drum tech and current drummer of Aerosmith – revealed that Van Halen did, in fact, record video of several shows with multiple cameras during his time with the band from 1997 to 2015. Douglas referred to the multi-cam pro-shot videos, along with accompanying multitrack audio, as a “treasure trove” of material. When discussing in more detail, Douglas said that Van Halen recorded a show at Madison Square Garden and possibly Tokyo Dome. 

Douglas also went in-depth about all things gear-wise regarding Alex Van Halen and discussed the incredible work ethic Alex and Eddie had during the over 30-minute segment, which you can watch below.

  • LarryLurex70 LarryLurex70 That’s an interesting thing for him to say. When I go see Maiden play, it’s not to hear Dickinson sing. But, he’s always been a hell of a frontman. Kinda like someone else I’m reminded of.
