This Is Awesome: Wolfgang Van Halen Shreds 'Hot For Teacher' Live

There are all kinds of amazing clips online from the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert held today in London. The clip below shows Wolfgang Van Halen playing lead guitar, while Justin Hawkins of The Darkness sings lead and Dave Grohl plays bass. Josh Freese is behind the kit - they all just destroy "Hot For Teacher." I love Wolfie's shredding of the solo - just like his dad used to do!

Absolutely, positively do NOT skip over "On Fire" to get to "Hot For Teacher." That was the better of the two, IMHO

Seems like it was a wonderful event for a person well-loved by fans and friends alike.

I'd be curious to know if they recorded this for eventual release and, if so, to whom they will donate the funds. Seems like it could serve some good cause.

I wish everyone a good holiday weekend (in the States, at least!).

Dudettes & Dudes! … What a treat! … Just started watching the London show with Queens of the Stone Age and “Let’s Dance” producer, Nile Rodgers.

Can’t wait to check out the rest!
