  • Gary is a good singer, but Lee Roth and Haggar are better to Van Halen's hits !

  • Eddie's rough voice is quite cool! 

  • Gary kicks ass

  • he sucks, it's a painfully embarrassing display of gay gestures posing and horrid singing.

  • Comment removed

  • Looks like Alex is wearing a neck brace.  Has to be a sign of the backlash that was to follow after Gary being in the band

  • Gay cherone sucks balls

  • @APanther9 your mom sucks my balls

  • See those circus circles on stage? That's what VH is...a circus!!!

  • Pretty fucking awesome...

  • I actually met him in person yesterday. Pretty cool stuff.

  • good!

    

  • Gary...too good, too intense, too talented!

  • Well, Gary at least can sing this song, Roth wouldn't even try

  • D L R would never touch E V H's hair or put his arm around him i could hear

    E V H after the concert we gotta get rida this guy he touched my hair

    then the rest of the band chimes in he touched ur hair hes history i didnt c that man if i did ida kicked his ass in front of the whole crowd what a creep

  • I think Ed lost a portion of his lung attempting to croak out the vocals at 1:30.

  • where did they get this loungue lizard?

  • Good God, this SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    No jab at Gary by the way. Gary is awesome.

    Ultimate low point for Vanhalen. Also, Alex looks like and IDIOT!

  • Gary, you are a hero to us back in MA. You give it your all and have all the respect due to you the world over. Keep up the good work and as you know, never look back. Your best moments are always ahead. Fantastic VH3. Rock on, buddy-you are talent all on your own.

  • Gary sings good ....just don't wear all black, you're not in Sabbath.

  • Wow gary cherone is a fucking moron

  • Mixing Completed on Van Halen Album, Mastering Up Next

  • Gary is great singer and front-man unfortunately it was too late for Van Halen to have a 3th singer and that is the only reason why people are shitting about him

    which it's is quiet unfair cause the guy always gives 110% no matter will it be Extreme or Van Halen .

  • @lipeguitars A 3th singer, wow and ( quiet as in, no noise ) I think you mean ( 3rd and quite )

  • @lipeguitars 3TH?

  • @lipeguitars He is absolutely a great singer but sadly the weak album Van Halen recorded with him makes him be unjustly hated by many fans.

  • Diamond Lee Roth ---- he made Sammy & Cherone look like fags!

  • @Hunkola Did he do It wearing those colorful cloths and tight pants? hmm

  • This was Sammy's song....and he bastardized it worse than any. Thumbs down.

  • Gary is fantastic he did VH good!!

  • I would take Gary Cheron over davie any day~~~~~~~~~

  • deam, many people in public it´s better, hey cherone please go to the public and say "sorry, i don´t do it again"

  • oh sheetttttttttttttttttttttttttt­tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt­tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt­ttttttttttttttttttttt, crappppppppppppppppppppppppppp­pppppppppppppppppppppp

  • gary could sing but he just didnt fit in the band like roth or hagar did

  • van hallen the best., all great singer

  • Gary's a good singer, but just not in Van Halen!

  • I like Cherone.

  • Gary Cherone is so lame he makes me want to throw up. What were they thinking, hiring him?

  • I love Van Halen, its the whole reason I picked up a guitar in 1986, but after seeing the video with Gary Cherone in the ice cave, I blotted it out, didnt buythat album and have been waiting ever since for VH with Sammy or Dave.

  • Omfg is this awful.

  • S H I T !

  • OMG i love how eddie sings \m/

  • i was at my best on this tour

    woo i had what it takes

  • There shouldnt be a like bar, Gary Cherone is in it! @paistekid yeah DLR was only good back then...

  • Gary Cherone sucks! LOL

  • Shhhh...don't tell Eddie his mic isn't on.

  • The other 3 look like they're just going through the motions.

  • I feel bad for the shit Cherone got for being in VH. I stopped listening VH after the F.U.C.K. album, but remembered some songs off of Balance. After that, VH was washed up anyway. Cherone would have had to had a 1-in-a-million performance on VHIII to have survived. He didn't. But for EVH to crawl out of his ashtray and throw Cherone under the bus for it is low class and shows you what kind of integrity EVH has. EVH and his brother Tweedle Dum have always been the problem off stage.

  • Gary put on one hell of a show. One of the most underated performers EVER. His dance moves do make me lol sometimes though.

  • @Circusmnkee Yeah!  his dance "moves" are hilarious, man. haha!

  • Wow, I never heard Eddie sing lead vocals,he sings like he plays that bad ass six string, rips your head off and kinks it down the road like a soccer ball,love it bluesy and ballsy! one of the rock musicans out there no dought!

    Bm;)

  • Wow, I never heard Eddie sing lead vocals,he sings like he plays that bad ass six string, rips your head off and kinks it down thr road like a soccer ball,love it bluesy and ballsy! one of the rock musicans out there no dought!

  • Eddie and Alex are just messed up. I think I will remember them from the songs - not the drama.

  • this video its very good...

    

  • 82 people dont know wht music is...

  • WAIT TIL ED SEES THIS SOBER

  • aaaaooooooo! @ 1:37

  • @tommym202 i watch the whole video over and over just for that

  • Haha xD Eddie's singing is awesome, his voice is so screwed up that it's awesome!

  • Ted Danson, Lead Vocals.

  • GREAT VOICE....AWKWARK MOVEMENT

  • I like it~~~Gary did his best but he was no lead singer for vh~~~

    I still like Gary for giving his all~~~

    I am true to Sammy though~~~I loved vh when Sammy came on board~~~

  • bad company...this never flew...gary who? why did the brothers go along with this?Money and lawyers, I'd bet dollars to donuts. If I was Eddie I would have fought this pairing all the way.

  • @clocktime11 EDDIE LOVED HIM

  • Some say he suck etc etc..but Gary just stepped into some big big big shoes. That takes guts.

  • Absolutely horrid! Sammy Rules!

  • The best of all three Van Halen singer's by far able to pull of Sammy ,and David well

  • Sorry but Gary lacks vocal range,vocal character, and has a gawky and uncomfortable stage presence.

  • Sorry but Gary lacks vocal range

  • LOL ive never seen eddie sing. That was pretty cool!

  • Ah, 1998. Van Halen was rocking the world, the economy was booming, the Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world, the Yankees and Bulls were dominating, no wars, no Obama, just fun. What the hell happened?

  • @wimpyliberalbuster32 The Twin Towers weren't the tallest buildings in the world in 1998, but the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur were. You were half right though; they are twins.

  • FUCK IT SAMY AND DAVE ARE GREAT BUT ASSHOLES...GIVE GARY A CHANCE...AND FIRE WOLFIE FOR THE LOVE OF G-D

  • FUCK IT SAMY AND DAVE ARE GREAT BUT ASSHOLES...GIVE GARY A CHANCE

  • Just makes you appreciate why Sammy Hagar is worth so much money. What a vocal mess. This song is nothing without Hagar. Just read his book - great insight about how Sammy was fired and Cherone got the gig.

  • @poijof Yeah and cherone didnt last long at all before he was gone.

  • Gary Cherone is a great singer and performer. Not sure why Van Halen got so much flak over having him. But then again people hated Sammy too even though he was a great singer. There are still those that feel David is the only singer that really belonged in this band. And he did have a unique quality that set the tone for the band in the beginning.

  • I don't get this DLR business. I saw VH with Dave 4 times back in 2007 and still don't get it. I've been a fan since 1978. DLR with VH in 2007 was not the same as the mighty Van Halen I knew back in the days. After watching the Atomic Punks (VH tribute band), I came to the conclusion that the Punks is actually old Van Halen. It's so fucked up, VH in 2007 with Dave is like a failed tribute band trying to play VH. On the other hand, the Atomic Punks is now the mighty Van Halen!

  • What kind of fairy wears a leisure suit while frontin' Van Halen ??

  • hey, his performance is pretty good.. but the album is the worst album of VH.

  • Ted Danson, Lead Vocal.

  • @20carrocks Of the John Becker years! One more patient Margarett then I have to go sing with Van Halen tonight...

  • @HeRacesTheSun NICE! LOL

  • @20carrocks what ells did he sing in HE HAS A EXTREME BADASS COOL VOICE

  • Respond to this video...  HEAVY METAL AND BADASS FILM

  • This just goes to show you that chemistry has as much as being a good musician to make a great band! Gary and Nuno have that chemistry, and even though I liked the Sammy years I think Chicken foot is a better band when it comes to chemistry. VH was the best in the Roth years the sound was more raw and in your face. I cant waite to hear the new album with Eddie and Dave!!!!!! These are just my thoughts. ;-)

  • Gary is a great singer, I actually liked most songs on VHIII, and his vocal range is perfect for the old songs too. But...

    It's not Van Halen. The chemistry is all wrong. He's east coast, they are west coast. They are party boys, he's the adult on stage. They are wearing old t-shirts, he's wearing a suit. Not his fault. 

  • Yes, I admit that upon just Hearing that Gary Cherone was going to sing with them I made faces and rude comments, as I've never been an extreme fan. After watching this video though? I'm actually impressed! I think he sounds great and I have always been a gigantic VH fan!

  • This isn't Van Halen

  • Not Gary's fault. I just can't like this. Eddie Singing, the way he's dressed, Gary in Van Halen, the carnival stage setup. It all just looks and feels so wrong. I feel dirty for watching this. I really wish that after Balance nothing else happened. VH III, the 04 reunion with Sammy, and the last Dave reunion tour with Wolfgang... It's all just not Van Halen anymore to me. I actually think it's sad.

  • is gary off pitch in the beginning? i understand if david is off pitch but nobody cares because its dave lee roth ... but for a singer with reputation of being in extreme who are musically talented , being off pitch in van halen is not an exception especially when sammy hagar was vh previous singer ..

  • he has a great voice ......he's trying too hard to be part of the band and the band is trying too hard to make it happen. Good luck to him....a voice like that should not /does need it.(having said that....don't care fore the music he makes so far.)The band is a mess.....2011......hope they get the shit back. Stay healthy Ed.

  • i def prefer cherone stage antics to hagars , hagar was embaressing on stage

  • @downincognito72 what the fuck are you talking about.... Hagar has one of the greatest stage performances of all time.... if you are looking at chicken foot, keep in mind hes over fucking 50 years old man, hes not gona be jumping around like a dude in his late 20's like cherone is here.

  • @JgHaverty um no , did u ever see him on the 89 tour on japan those yellow tights , , , not to mention on the f.u.ck looked like a goose , bicycle gear??? u got to be kidding me

  • @downincognito72 Let me guess, you're a dave fucker???

  • @blasty5150 at least Dave was cool , sam a goose , gary somewhere in between , gees sam wore bycycle shorts on stage

  • @JgHaverty Cherone was 37 here and he's still jumping around now, approaching 50, with Extreme, or his other band, Hurtsmile :-)

  • yuk

  • Gary who? Where's Sammy?

  • whether cherone sucks or not, he got put in an impossible situation with virtually zero chance to succeed, i just blame everything on eddies ego

  • Hey friends, imagine just take picture in your mind, if Sammy Hagar sings some songs from Exteeme like Get the funk out, Rest in peace, Hip today, Loving you Unconditionally, or More than words, would it be as good as Gary does???

    I do think Gary's not doing so bad singing this song, but because i am accustomed to Sammy's voice, make me like old version better than this one.

    But that does not allow us to insult or saying that Gary sucks. It is a very naive thing to say.

  • @endranesta did u hear VH 3 ?????? his voice is grating, terrible , i blame ED just as much as Gary , who wld release that , Sorry to say this isnt pleasent on the ears at all, n i was at the concert just to top it off!

  • @downincognito76 i still can remember clearly when V3 appeared with introducing Gary as new vocalist, and i didn't buy the album, coz i don't like. However what i'm trying to say is that Gary just doesn't fit into Van Halen, but with Extreme he is great. He is not a bad singer at all, only just doesn't suit into Van Halen. Blaming him is not fair.

  • @endranesta yes i agree , he fits extreme . Listen to the latest album, , he sounds great! what happened with 3???

  • @downincognito76 in short,gary had to deal with "evil eddie".

  • @endranesta cherone sounded bad singing cherone songs!

  • @downincognito76 Very true, pitbull even sounds better than Cherone

  • @endranesta Hey I liked it, 1st time hearing Gary with VH but I think Sammy could make any song rock. On the other hand Roth couldn't pull off Extreme's stuff.

  • Michael Anthony should be lead singer!! :D

  • @88Theboz Yeah... he rocks... still! Check out "chickenfoot" if you haven't already.

  • FAIL

  • It can be worse, It can be justin timberlake (shudder)

  • the one good thing about Gary Cherone is that the band could play their entire catalogue live.

  • @special15150 I saw them with Gary , and they kicked ass!!!

  • i didn't like him...sammy was better

  • This singer fuckin sucks

  • look i like gary but he didn't fit van halen, the guy made die hard david lee roth fans want sammy hagar back

  • @MrSeven73 LOL, I don't agree, but that is the most amusing thing I've read on here in a long time!! Thanque 4 the chuckle!~

    Timothy

    :o)

  • Ted Danson, Lead Vocals.

  • Sammy F'n kills him...really sorry i love Extreme and Gary is a great in his own right but he doesnt touch Sammy in sound, delivery and vibe. none of it...he just doesnt. it aint there to be had. they wanted it because they like Gary, we all do, but it wasnt good enough for VH level and thats why it didnt last, period....this is the FIRST time ive heard Gary with them. so its clear....but Eddies lead vocal, nice !

  • gary cherone no es malo me gusta mucho las ganas q l met al momento d cantar ya qisiera ver q wey se aventaria a star al frent duna gran banda q detras d ellos pasaron 2 grandes cantans y vean cantar caniones q ni son d el q yo sepa samy se reusaba a tocar varias d la epoca de david

    dicen q es un mal cantante pero vean en la cancion hammer to hall d tributo a freddie mercury q ganas q sentimiento le mete eso si es amor a la musica !!!

    Eddie m gusta como canta n esa part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Lets try to forget this bad idea....

  • You can't replace Sammy Hagar! This guy is good but you don't try to do a Sammy song. Sammy will always be sammy.

  • @123dtrain I like Sammy hagar he had a lot of hits with van halen and his solo shit was good

  • @HipHopHaterRock4ever Damn right:) Sammy never made a bad song in my opinion. Sammy will always be the red rocker!

  • 1:37 - ahooh, classic

  • This is one of my favorite Albums. SAMMY H IS THE BEST. Eddie has some ego to have Gary singing the songs. HORRIBLE>

  • @tomcamp6023 Do you think Sammy hagar is better then David lee roth?

  • @HipHopHaterRock4ever Van Halen with roth was great and I love all of their old stuff but I think the 5150 album was a perfect album.

  • @tomcamp6023 All there albums were good . Some were better then others like all bands pretty much

  • I like anything music thats recorded with Eddie and Alex regardless of which singer or bassist. Yeah, Gary Cherone wasn't van halen but the music is pretty good.

  • Man....I love Extreme and think Gary is a great singer...just not for VH...i just could never dig it. oh well thats just my opinion.

  • eddie has got an amazing rock voice

  • I agree! Cherone made a excelent work on VH!

    I like so much VH3 cd too

  • Singer's too Vegas-y.

  • Why does Eddie's guitar have a tail?

  • Good god! No wonder why they fired his ass!

  • ive been a VH fan from day 1 and im disappointed when EDDIE got very jealous of DAVE,s swagger and Shine,playa hating at its best.Every body knows that Sammy cant carry Daves jock strap when it comes to the stage or VAN HALEN.No disrespect to Sammy hager but he was out of his league.Its DLR or its generic as hell.it always takes a hater to fuck up a good thing.real talk.

  • Cherone -Che-wrong.

  • Gary got such a bad rap for this. Not only is the guy a fantastic singer, he jumped into fill some of the biggest shoes in rock and roll and did a great job. Great front man too!! I'm really glad he is back with Nuno and playing again though... Extreme 2009+ is insanely tight.

  • @superhossenpheffer Totally agree. Great comment.

  • @superhossenpheffer I think the band should have chosen someone a little less known they sounded Extreme doind VH covers. I am a fan both bands.

  • wow this sucks !! sammy  hands down the best v/h singer

  • HOLY HELL EDDIES GOT SOME PIPES

  • Gary Cherone >>> Sammy Hagar - but DLR inspired Eddie much more than any other lineup.

  • The dressier rocker l@@k is HOT!!!

  • Gary = sharp dressed!!! ;-P

  • I want David Lee Roth ;)

  • "Ghair" sounded great, but the song needed more, "Whhhooooooooohhh!"

  • The only reason this line up failed is because Gary Cherone didn't have the power to edit EVH. The songs on 3 were too much about Eddie's playing and not about being good songs.

  • If only Van Halen kept both Roth and Sammy, we'd have the best of both worlds for sure!! I'm glad that I don't have to argue or help argue that this whole DLR vs. Sammy shit cuz it kills me to see that bands are bashed because of their changes. Roth was great for hard rock and upbeated rock, Sammy was great for that summer vacation/California(<- hope that makes sense) sounding rock/power ballads, and Gary has a unique line of vocals that adds a nice character to Van Halen's inventory of songs.

  • this is really really weak. A great band but a bad go at it.

  • awesome indeed, a band that survives indeed, love it . you guys rock!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would sing for ya, hell yeah

  • heerlijke muziek daar word ik nu vrolijk van

  • eddie and michael singing ftw

  • Wow, didn't know that Becker (Ted Danson) could sing like this.

  • Just proving that Eddie & Alex are morons. Most bands are the singer, let's be honest, most people don't tune in for great drumming or bass playing.. David was great, and even though totally different, Sammy worked out pretty well too.

    Eddie Van Halen must be the most petty person in rock music history. Can someone give me an example of where the lead singer of a band was replaced (besides VH the first time around) and the band continued to have success.

  • @johnjohnmajortom Pretty sure Van Halen is Van Halen.

  • Oh god, please take the mic away from Eddie! :-0

  • He doesnt entertain like david or sing like sammy, but gary is a great singer who got to be in the biggest band in the world for a short time. We bitch about how he isnt van halen material, but who are we? At least he was there, at least he got to perform with eddie and sing for millions of screaming fans. I would of killed to be him.

  • I thought it was pretty awesome how each of them sang a verse of the song. And to everyone who says the Cherone was terrible- he really wasn't. He wasn't a Sammy Hagar or David Lee Roth, but he had a tought role to fill and he did a really good job with it.

  • Sammy Hagar is... CHICKENFOOT

  • for me i prefer sammy and dave

  • ya know i dont think gary is to bad.. sure he aint sammy or dave.. but it brings a new different version of Van Halen! i am personally a fan of van halen 3!

  • I just want to say that those who blame cherone for everything wrong in vh and the world that you couldn't be more blind & stupid. Do you really think that Eddie & Alex would have left the course of the band in hands of another person, specially in a guy who just entered the band? Gary didn't compose the whole record, he worked the lyrics. He didn't write the crappy guitar riffs. The whole band is responsible for it, specially Eddie, that play the bass and hired mike post for produccion.

  • Gary, you suck! Dave and Sammy ftw!!!

  • Damn... Ted Danson has lost a lot of weight. :o)

  • i want sammy hagar :(
