Van Halen - Dreams (live)

[XRKENT]

should have let Michael do all the vocals...

[rockinghell91]

guitar sound is brilliant, the song is far out of cherone's range.

[earlymtv]

yo, people i agree with you all this is bad no doubt. but remember dreams is a very hard song to sing live, sammy couldnt do it that great either... sammy struggled alot with this one... specially with the high notes..

[NativeHope]

@earlymtv Yeah. That's true, especially when you're a rockstar and you sing your voice to oblivion over the past decade or so.

[TWB141]

@NativeHope Actually Sammy's voice seems pretty awesome lately. I think he's been resting it or taking care of it more. And on a side note, is it me, or when Cheron sings this, does it sound like he's trying to make every line sound like some great pronunciation? Haha. 'Reach for the Golden ring!!!!!!! Reach for the SKY!!!!!'

[RNRLover1]

i think gary could of done better than this it sucks

[JosephKuby]

Even though the video is blurry as hell, the sound has a fairly sharp clarity.

[jamesmaro]

this is my favoite version of the song bitches i love this song

[JosephKuby]

Likewise.

[jamesmaro]

well guess what bitchs im back again and higher

[Hector007100]

he shouldnt of even tried Sammy was the best

[GrayLeader2184]

Gary sounds like he's doing a (crappy) Bruce Dickinson imitation.

[JosephKuby]

Funny you say that because I was thinking a long time ago that if Bruce Dickinson was to do a cover, it would be excellent.

Maybe he should have replaced Sammy when he left.

[chrisair2112]

ouch...

[THSP485]

I know that Gary was put into a tough spot by taking this job, but I have to say that this is not very good vocals.

[rgarrido1975]

It's a pitty. The band was so good in 1998 (the guitar sound is the best ever), but Gary screwed everything. His singing in "Dreams" is just horrible.

[aliaslechuga]

surely you can sing it better... gary is a great singer, he just printed his style over the songs which i think is perfect, you might like it or not but i think it is valuable for him to sing the songs as he liked it not imitating anyone.. i think that saying he srewed everyhitng is a lack of respect

[rgarrido1975]

Maybe you didn't watch the video. Please, listen to it and say that Gary is singing well. Because, i swear, he isn't.

That's just the truth, face it. If you wanna hear Gary doing a good job, listen to a Extreme CD. When it comes to Van Halen... he sucks. Sorry.

[aliaslechuga]

yeh yeah...

again, you should've said: "IN MY OPINION", he sucks... ;)

[JosephKuby]

The guitar sound is ace, I agree.

They should have got Mitch Malloy or Robert Plant.

[myautomobilefunk]

robert plant is shit , he is pussy :D , Cherone Rocks!

[jamesmaro]

an higher

[razorback213213213]

horrible vocals

[Voorhees67]

agreed, this is my favorite song on the 5150 album and he fucked up bad!

[jdrew1130]

Without trying to belittle Gary Cherone's talent, he wasn't just right for Halen.

[JosephKuby]

The funny thing is that in the Van Halen book Everybody Wants Some, Dave told Gary in the early '90s that he thought Extreme would be bigger than Van Halen one day.

[myautomobilefunk]

great song! with gary is very strange

[musicjourney64]

The dude was struggling to try and sound like Sammy....it can't be done, there's only one Sammy.

[jamesmaro]

the fox is wack

[jamesmaro]

the fox

[jaymokearney]

who is de singer?

[Strikeleppard]

Gary Cherone, from Extreme

[acdc1287]

what was eddie thinking when he hired this douche bag, vh3 was shit!!!

[blasty5150]

speaking of shit, mr acdc, talk about dogshit, any VH is better than that acdc bullshit...

[jamesmaro]

i do 2

[bbjam666]

i own this video bitchesxxxxxxxxx

[legallyalien]

This song is clearly out of his range and shouldn't have been added to the setlist in the first place.

[kotta23]

FUCK CHERONE...very focking bad singer!! mothafucka raped the song!!

[jamesmaro]

dude evh high r drunk when he hired that fag

[mattsardinha]

gary really sucked on those "highers" and the rest of the song

[frenchy5150]

hi...someone sent a message saying that eddie's making mistakes on some songs,i say no he's just making variations with few licks but he's always spot on even when he's a bit drunk...and his moves are fantastics,alwyays up and down the stage...he's was great on that tour bye

[jamesmaro]

im back bitches.=]

[kdinhoguitarra]

i love van halen and this song...gary was great singing in Extreme...i did not like van halen with gary...i prefer van halen with sammy and extreme with gary and nuno

[kmej83]

Gary sucks with van halen =/ , I sing much better this song xD really!! David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagard RULZ !!!

[fmrwnyer]

I saw them on this tour.  Gary sounded so much better at the Darien Lake show. He sounds like a tortured cat in this one.

[cowboyzsuk81]

EDDIE EDDIE EDDIE!!!

[JosephKuby]

I like this version of the song because it's more heavier.

[mikewoodv1]

Ouch i can sing better then gary cheyenne

[skaterboy75798]

gary sounds like crap

[gravyguy05]

I actually don't mind the VH3 album. But good lord, I can sing this song better than Gary. Sammy has a unique voice, but I can at least get the tone right, Gary just yells the whole time. Ed, Mike, and Al sound great as always though.

[JonnyE]

Mountains brakin' wahhh!! what the hell? lol

Gary does sound terrible. Hagar's voice is awesome, he can sing alot of notes alot of people can't... well I can't at least.

[operamaia]

learn to sing Gary

[skbrady]

This performance is ALOT like acohol. You hate it at first but then you get used to it and enjoy it.

[ArneFufkin]

This doesn't do Van Halen ... or this song ... justice.

Van Halen never acknowledged individual songwriters (to their unique credit), but Dreams always hit me as a Hagar written tune.

Hagar tunes are tough to sing. Try it at Karaoke night.

[EricCarrIsGod]

VH went down hill ever since Hagar left

[mikewoodv1]

gary sucks hagar rules

[medicfour]

Not for nothing, Eddie's guitar sounds terrible. I think that everybody is so focused on how horrible Gary's voice is, that nobody notices Eddie's guitar.

[RGM86RGMIII]

Is that from the Conord show?

[skbrady]

It's awesome, you needed to get use to Gary's voice and bad image and sound from the camera. Does anyone have the official hi quality version of Gary's Dreams? If so PLEASE Post it.

[wildstallyns]

I love Garys rendition of Dreams. Really puts his heart and soul into it. Great stuff

[Amathyst]

Gary rocks! When he joined Van Halen, his voice started to fail, but in Extreme, he kicked ass. All the same, Van Halen III was a great cd!

I still prefer Sammy as lead singer.

[goDaleJrgo]

Good lord, that's not the "Dreams" I dreamed about, I personally liked it better when Sammy was singing but nobody comes close to David Lee Roth. This guy is on drugs, and he looks like he should be in U2

[acdc5320]

Gary Cherone was a joke, he killed VH. Dave kicked ass, Sammy was pretty good, GARY SUCKS.

[diverdownup5150noho]

oh god this is so bad

[MOSKII58]

AMEN, THANK GOD HE IS GONE

[blitzmaster]

gary is a disater for van halen!!!

[bonenk]

That guy siglehandedly destroys a great song by his crap vocal... his voice is not even high enough to reach the high notes... total disaster

[cauefs5150]

c'mon... i like gary... i love extreme, and vh is the best band ever... so it's a great combination... and i like VHIII too!

[Francologne]

Does this guy really need to spoil all the best VH songs with his barking?

[Michiganfan105]

Sammy was great but Dave was amazing. Not necessarily just vocals but personality as well.

[caputo1000]

he f*cked up this song so bad...hagar is the best out of the 3 singers.

[JonnyE]

Hagar forever.

[gizbug]

Guy his horrible with this song. Ruins it.

[MatteBIack]

kickass

[pinoypride5491]

love eddies guitar work but where in the hell did they get Mr.Gary? he does not belong in VH

[VictorGuilherme]

I liked it. But this song is much better on Sammy's voice.

[nipponsakura]

このバージョンもいいですね。gary version cool！

[JosephKuby]

Weren't half of the songs on the VH III album originally written with Sammy in mind?

Which ones were intended for him? I can imagine him doing Ballot Or The Bullet.

[SHIRLEYOWEN]

screaMING

[joyjoykids]

I love Gary era too. Wish they could have one more shot.

[JonnyE]

You must be partially deaf. His vocals are horrible. Sure made my ears bleed. Sammy was much better.

[JonnyE]

Sammy was much better than Gary... what shit yo be smokin'?

[EVH316]

Love all eras of VH especially Gary.

[yuckly]

you're kidding right??
