Adrenaline Mob have covered a Van Halen classic on their new EP, “Coverta.”
The band – which features drummer Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater, Avenged Sevenfold), Symphony X frontman Russell Allen, guitar virtuoso Mike Orlando (Sonic Stomp) and Disturbed bassist John Moyer – recorded Van Halen’s 1980 classic “Romeo Delight” for the project.
“Hugely influenced by Eddie Van Halen,” explains Orlando. “Every rock guitar player, I’m sure, will say the same thing. I got such a thrill doing guitar for this song: plugging in the Charvel and the cool Phase 90 into the Marshall, cranking it up and pretending you’re Eddie Van Halen, as I’ve done since I was a kid.”
Due March 12, “Coverta” also features versions of songs by Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Heart, Rainbow, Dio, The Doors and Badlands.
"Covertá" track listing:
01. High Wire (Badlands)
02. Stand Up And Shout (Dio)
03. Break On Through (The Doors)
04. Romeo Delight (Van Halen)
05. Barracuda (Heart)
06. Kill The King (Rainbow)
07. The Lemon Song (Led Zeppelin)
08. The Mob Rules (Black Sabbath)
