  • yu lk @yr hnny tellr "WAT I NEED" thumbs up if uthink best pert

  • Little more feedback

  • Dave is too fucked up! He was perfect for the band but after this I can see why he became a pain. Even with Eddie adding his genious, I did not like this vid. However, I love the song.

  • I wonder what kind of ice cream Dave delivers? lol Great song!!

  • US Festival 1983 - I was there !!!!

  • does anybody else find themselves searching for more versions of this just to hear Dave monologue ?

  • Really who cares if they wrote this song or not ? The made it fucking awesome

  • dude who doesnt like van halen?

  • The greatest "everything" in the history of rock!

  • Van Halen Rocks!!!!!

  • My God - could he be any hotter?

  • I was there!!! Dave was WASTED!! We were disappointed. They had the nerve to show them backstage before they came out on the "Diamond Screen" and it was obvious that they were slammin Jack Daniels and laughing with the million dollar check they were given for the 300k viewed WoodStock-like event....!!

  • yaya

  • Wow! Really? I know that all of us here are very surprising by this sort of behavior. So... unfortunately... it has been voted... unanimousl, at least by me.. that somebody should remove that stick that you have lodged within your ... um.. well. Yeah. Get somebody to remove THAT... hand you a shot of Tequila with a bit of lime.. strictly for the pain.. yeah. Buy a CD, listen to it, voila, no surprises. TA-Dah.. problem solved~!

  • Oh, shut the fuck up!!

  • Can someone spell for me the first joke with a guy coming backstage ?

    I cannot decipher this english, but I guess it must be quite funny.

    thanks.

  • He said the Sheriff of San Bernadino (sp?) came back stage and said "Dave, the mutherfuckers (the fans) are outta line."

  • thanks

  • The Davesicle........truly the greatest of times.

  • The good old days! Fabulous guitar-of course! It's Van Fuckin' Halen!

  • awesome cover, originally by John Brim.

  • I'm the ice cream man. Bringing all the fat kids, to my van. when i, ring my bell. look at all the fat kids, run like hell

  • Wrong song, dip shit

  • ithey sound absolutely nothing alike

  • ithey? its nots how it sounds that reminds me so of spirit

  • Finally, a video that the anal-retentive dumbasses at WMG didn't mute.

  • Its a ROCK N ROLL night everynight with Van Halen!

    This Rocks!

  • Anyone know if they play more than one night at this concert? I just watched another version of Ice Cream Man that said it was from the US Festival (?)

  • this one is Us Fest 83

  • vh good for the soul

  • David Lee is a cartoon, but on the other hand that's what make's him great! My favorite VH song ever (even though it's a cover).

  • Eddie will never be equaled or replaced...

  • thats not true. some day someone will come around and change rock n roll again.

  • yes, and it was him. 31 years ago

  • that was the sickest solo ive heard eddie play

  • Great post!!

    David Lee Roth at his very best!!

  • ese man toca como un pedo yo le gano me llamo renato alvarez! toco BACAN HARTO ROPK

  • english!!!!

  • I'm gonna move my microphone back just a second right here, I say

  • that solo kicked ass

  • SEX,DRUGS,& ROCK N' ROLLLLLL!!!!!

  • your a FREAK!!

  • weres this video from?

  • San Bernadino, CA early 80s (83 maybe?) at an

    outdoor concert. David Lee Roth's mouth got

    them into trouble later on this.

    Gotta love Diamond Dave-he IS the concert!

  • Dave reached a good pitch at 4:10. Great work!

  • ahahahahaha he's stoned. i love him ! !

    love you van !

    xoxoxx

    i love this song

  • Saw them in Vegas. David told different story to this song. It was about the wild parties in Pasadena when the band were in their teens

  • Dave cracks my shit up

  • i hope you all know that they did not wright this song.

  • Right. it was John Brim. Dave messed a little with the lyrics, plus of course the distortion wasnt in the original version. But YOU, ghostsheet, do realize they credit Brim for the writing on all their albums, unlike some artists.

  • God eddy has so much fucking heart when he plays damn those notes he hits are sick.Love vh always will forever.

  • One of the best Songs ever made in goddamned human history.

  • Yeah, Roth owns Hagar! DLR may not have an amazing voice or nothing, but hes a stellar frontman! One of the best!

  • ROTH ROCKS!!! ya sammy rocks too but i like sammy more when he was with MONTROSE he rocked hard then the newer van hagar was too soft/pop for me...

  • the problem with the idea that someone came up with earlier of having an hour for each singer is that....does gary cherone have enough songs to cover and hour?? he didnt exactly do much before he went off and did his jesus play thing

  • Wow so many hate comments for Roth. Roth>>>Hagar though they are totally different. Roth is rock and Hagar is pop. Real rock fans know what the best Van Halen is. Van Halen I owns all.

  • i think hes drunk

  • Dave is the man he is as big of part of Van Halen as Eddie, Alex, or Micheal. Anyone one who says other wise isnt a true fan because if there was no Dave then there wouldn't be Van Halen.

  • just because he had the amp van halen needed for early gigs would not have stopped van halens success...dave was very average...with limited range...

  • Thats true I agree Eddie, and Alex would have still been succesfull. Im Just saying that your average person doesn't pay attention to the musical instrumental part of a song cause most of the focus is on the vocals and Dave was a huge.... part of there over all sound.

  • That is so damm true, loved Roth, loved Ed{still do}, had a few nice posters of Ed! I never really EVER heard the guitar like I do now. Im a lyrics and vocals chick. However ED & ALEX WOULD HAVE BEEN FAMOUS WITH OR WITHOUT RITH/HAGER. Peace, Hope & Happiness, Ruth

  • Replacing DLR is like replacing Mick Jagger or Freddy Mercury it just isnt the same!

  • but good news for those who would have had to listen to douche lee roth sing good songs badly.

  • You are right, that is true! Number 1, Roth's voice isn't quite the same anymore. Number 2, he would have probably been so wasted he wouldn't know what to sing. Number 3, Michael Anthony wouldn't be with them, so they wouldn't have had his legendary backing vocals and harmonies. Who agrees?

  • hopefully eddies checking in to rehab...and giving sammy and mike a call for a late fall tour schedule. Or what the heck... Do this--- put on a 3 hour concert. 1 hour with Douche lee roth..1 hour sammy..and 1 hour gary--let the audience decide who is best.

  • That is not a bad idea! Unfortunately, I don't think the audience would give Sammy or Gary a chance. It would be very likely that people would be able to understand Sammy and Gary better than Roth. However, Diamond Dave is too beloved for many Halenheads for them to care at all! Who agrees?

  • at the start of the concert..i agree... then as douche lee roth butchers song after song... I think the tide would turn..and people will realize that its their youth they long for... not the folically challenged DLR.

  • wow, david lee roth can play guitar too? he rocks at like...everything

  • remember when rock was fun ?

    where have all the good times gone ?

  • is this from the US in 1983?

  • It is indeed dude.

  • As a chick, I can definately say I really admire the times when men were men...

  • Ha Ha..well said..love that comment LOL..you go girl!

  • "O baby you're what I neeeeeeeed" Greatest frontman of all time.

  • stop this, it's f**kin annoying

  • idiot. stop shitting.

  • I wasn't talking about the video...I LOVE Van Halen! I was tryin to respond to that shit that about "Do not read this. there was a girl from Kataluahana..."

  • oh, really sorry. agreed.

  • it seems like he choked or forgot the worlds...

  • nah just on drugs and goofin off.

  • yeah well said callaprima, just realise that they both have soooooo much more fun every single day than you ever could. they live, you may as well be..asleep?

  • Sammy's got a solo career now, unlike Dave who has resorted to playing a Bluesgrass version of Jump on the Tonight Show. Very sad! Hopefully Eddie can stay sober long enough to bring back Sammy and Michael for the Rock Hall of Fame Ceremony!

  • Van Halen is going on tour with David Lee Roth as singer, and Eddies song Wolfgang on bass

  • Okay I was here.This was the US Festival,and yes they were a mess,But Dave and Eddie were magic with each other.I am sorry to all you Sammy Fans,that wasn't the same band that blew you'r mind.Dave and Eddie were Van Halen.I hope when they get inducted that magic will be there again.I can't wait

  • yes it was the US fest and like you I was there.. and I puked.. lots

  • dave u can dance the night away mate.. while sammy is on stage singing at the hof sammy is the man

  • there both good come on guys

  • Sammy's already whining about the HoF induction. He feels that both he and Dave should be there. I don't think. Dave was there in the beginning and he was Van Halen. The Spammy years were nothing but girly songs.

  • The really big winners were the record company that got Van Halen and DLR to put out some killer records. Controversy sells.

    This video is cool for nostalgia but DLR's performance is horrible. Was he just too wasted or what? I've seen him do this in a lot of other videos, too. At least EVH could keep playing even when people said he was 10x the legal limit.

  • What is this, a contest to see who can benchpress the most? Why do feel you have to make a value judgement? They were great with Roth and with Hagar, but totally different. I liked both and I'm just glad we weren't limited to only hearing VH with one or the other.

  • I think debating about who was the better singer is pointless; why do you guys think the band was called Van Halen and not "Roth". My grandmother could have sung on those early records and they still could have sold millions. They sold all those records because Edward raised the bar, set a new level, was a visionary. So why did'nt they do so well with Sammy? No band can stay on top forever, none has, regardless of personnel.

  • Dude, any true fan of metal and any true fan specifically of Van Halen knows the best and only line-up was with Roth. They were good with sammy, had quality tunes- but when you think Van Halen it's the original line-up- Roth was a great showman- I'm sure he had something to do with millions being sold.

  • Sammy hagar is a sad excuse for david lee roth and drove that band into the ground. no wonder it took this long for them to get into the rock hall.

  • Sammy's not trying to be Dave, he's trying to be Sammy

  • This is an old blues song, right?

  • sammy hagar owns dave!!! sammy love ya buddy

  • Sammy owns Dave's jock strap....

  • Say what you want about whoever came AFTER DLR... without the original combo, there would never have been a 5150 or Sammy era... so suck it up and appreciate who came first, and got them there.

  • i prefer dave & old van halen,but the fact of it is,they had more hits & record sales with sammy,the first choice before sammy was a girl singer,patty smith from scandal,& she turned them down.

  • One of Eddie's best solos bar none.

  • van halen is a freak on the guitar amazing

  • yeah i almost prefer sammy daves a pretty full character

  • One of Eddie's best solos bar none.

  • what if van halen didn't hire sammy? then van halen would be done, all you haters of sammy out there, AT LEAST THEY HIRED SOMEONE , and in my opinion sammy did a pretty damn good job, i don't think anyone could have done better.

  • I don't see Eddie letting Dave back in the band. All is not lost though. Forget the six released studio LP's with Dave. I'm talking about the rare demos and GREAT music they wrote from 1974-1977 before they became famous! Can't find it or never heard of it? Don't worry! Just see these videos of that era by clicking on my name and watching these fantastic videos!

  • haha i like that "is it a rock n roll night toniiiiightt"

  • I wonder if there was one concert he was in where he was sober. lol.

  • What a piece of shit drunkfest. Never heard these guys sound worse.

  • "you dont fix that feedback im gonna kick your ass maaaaaaan!"

  • DAMN there were a couple times i thought he was just going to fall over...i was amazed that by the end, he still remembered what song he was doing

  • is this the US festival?

  • how much money says dave's drunk?

  • $843.00 american

  • YOUR A MAD MAN

  • i agree with fullshred69

  • Dave was still peeing his pants when Hagar was singing with Montrose. The best thing that VH band did was get rid of Dave. Hagar not only sings better, but can hang with Eddie on guitar. I saw them live doing Rockn'Roll by Zep, it sounded just like the Zep. Even Page can't play 2 guitar parts at the same time. The only reason Dave was even in the band was..he had some equipment. I like the early stuff but the Hagar years had more developed songs w/keyboards, Eddie's first instrument.

  • Couldn't have pit it better myself.

    Dave is talentless. Look at him now, he's like Rolf Harris.

  • I LOVE YOU MAN ! I said the same for Dave over and over again. Sammy can sing but Dave can't do anything but dance like a monkey with a banana in the ass

  • Lol, I couldnt agree more. Never seen that much of dave in same place for that long... Nonetheless, kickass song by a kickass band.

  • ''and since when did DLR play guitar?''

    since yer ma liked the cock

  • All you van halen haters can go fuck yourselfs, I challenge you to play any Van Halen solo perfectly and down to the tee.

    and since when did DLR play guitar?

  • dlr plays guitar?

  • since wen did dlr play guit?

  • Eddie Van Halen is king...final

  • Van Halen Fucking Rocks!!!

    Hell Yeah!

  • Long live Van Halen! I just hope these guys get together one last time with the original band for one last tour before they are all dead or incapacitated.

  • they are reforming pretty soon with dlr, heard it on planet rock.

  • hahaha he sounds drunk

  • Hey CrazedCommando I hope you die of full-blown AIDS.you know,the kind you get when you fuck another man Brokeback style.You fucking dumb rummy.

  • there's only kind, rickerw, and it doesn't have to involve intimate relations with the same sex.

  • I grew up on Van Halen. Their first four albums , especially VH1, were groundbreaking and changed music--they kicked off hard rock when there was only rock or heavy metal. Everybody followed their lead--even Randi Rhodes--unfortunately they "jumped the shark" with "Diver Down"--they lost me with their shit-ass cover of "Dancing in the Streets." Then Dave did his crappy solo shit, Eddie got the idea he was a god and couldn't get along with anyone. Should regroup and start again.

  • man dave makes the funniest fuckin noise at 6:23

  • did being the operative term. He's as irrelevant now as all of his pop-metal progeny

  • "did being the operative term. He's as irrelevant now as all of his pop-metal progeny"

    You're a 'tard. Van Halen was a fucking nuclear bomb on the rock guitar scene, and the reverberations are still being felt. Yes, it spawned a lot of wankers, but it spawned a lot of great musicians, too.

  • Van Halen in the '80s were the world's greatest kickass machine. Of course, that was before they melted down into a bad imitation of Spinal Tap.

  • just take the music for what it is man, van halen make great music. the song 5150 is a real gem just as great as anything on fair warning but yes fair warning for me has a truely genius raw tone and colour

  • the mother fucker who said van halen should die can go suck a dick!

  • Just so you all know, EVH is the most overrated hack on the face of the planet, and I hope he dies of tongue cancer

  • this is what rock and roll is all about...i hope they get back with dave and tour this summer

  • Sorta like a poor man's Journey.

  • LMAO!! You cannot honestly say that any of the tunes you mentioned can hold a candle to Mean Street, Unchained, Hear About It Later, etc. Black and Blue..oh that's rich! hahhaha

    Van Hagar was basically Loverboy with a better guitarist. 100% pure CHEESE.

  • You called it Brownsound. Eddy's marriage was on the rocks and he was fighting with Roth when Fair Warning was made. That aggression was funneled into the guitar. Best guitar sound of his career on that album, and some of the tightest playing.

  • Sammy looks like Ronald McDonald.

    Dave holding VH back? Tell me one thing they did with Hagar that can touch anything off of Fair Warning.

  • wow brownsound... you're making it too easy... k, I'll name a few... Uhh... 5150... Black Blue... err... Man on a Mission... The Dream is over... Just name every song off of a Sammy Hagar album (EVEN SOLO) and it'll top dave.

  • dave IS a gay Ronald McDonald.... and ..well.. how about every album VH2 put out...

  • Oh God... what is this crap? No wonder Ed dumped Dave. He's a ridiculous joke, and a total poseur. Wanna know what Sammy has on Dave? Sammy can SING. Roth was totally holding Van Halen back. Doesn't surprise me that Dave spent all his VH money is now scrounging for work. Sammy kicked Dave's ass when they toured together.

  • I say put together the 07 tour with hagar and roth each leading vh for a set.. let the fans see how bad DLR sucks...

  • SDMF21- are you forgetting where EVH got his licks? It was from a man still kicking ass. Allan Holdsworth! I suggest you go f@#$k yourself and then go f@#k everyone who REMOTELY looks like you!! EVH is rumored to be touring in '07 w/ his son playing bass. Long live Michael Anthony and Mr. Roth. It's the only VH line-up that will do!!!

  • FrostmourneFK . Ha. You have told us all just what loser you are to even make such a statement. Ha laugh my ASS off Dave V Sammy? There is no comparison! Sammy is a joke, hair, tights and all, compared to Dave dude. Perhaps you need to get life to even understand. You must be a total loser to even think Sammy was even on the same stage as Dave. Sammy needs to get on his weak ASS knees and proclaim I owe all my fame to Dave.

  • how is your barebacking buddy dlr doing these days?? Oh yah...hes singing Bluegrass Vh covers...oh whats hagar doing?? Thats right...new albums (with new material)... touring to sold out stadiums... cabo wabo....and that little tequilla thing.. well at least dave still has his voice ...err.. whoops...sorry....guess not... well at least he has his hair...err opps....well...guess not.. hows his health?? ROFLOL!

  • Dave has a Shylock nose.

    Ugly fucking Kike

  • the ONLY van halen is the one led by david lee roth.

  • LED ?! Roth is definitely not leading anything in Van Halen. Eddie's the leader of Van Halen, not some overrated voiceless screaming bitch.

  • go fuck yourself. At that point every guitar player on the face of the earth was copying everything he did anyway. dumbass

  • FUCK Sammy Hagar and the flock of sheep in this thread he rode in on.

    Van HALEN is and will always be: DAVE, EDDIE, Mikey and Alex.

  • Think David "cant-sell-out-your-local-IHOP­" Lee "Buddy-can-you-spare-bus-fare" Roth "I am having a bad hair life" will play some bluegrass if "Van Halen" reunites???

  • Nope Van Halen is Sammy Eddie Mikey and Alex.

  • how about fuck you all because Eddie is an amazing guitar player, and an innovator when it comes to playing guitar.

  • And Eddie did all his innovation on the first SIX albums. He didn't do ONE FUCKING THING new on the guitar on the Van Hagar records.

    Why do you think that is, sheep?

  • Maybe you didn't listen to any of the so called "Van Hagar" era, 'cause on F.U.C.K, I can hear many innovations like in Judgement Day, Poundcake and Pleasure Dome

  • Sammy = RedRocker

    David Lee Roth = Van Halen

    Gary Charone = Fag

  • Lol though I think number two is a fag too.

  • Dave is badass and that's it! It is too bad Eddie is too pridefull and won't get back with Dave and the rest of the guys, they could make a shitload of money!! Hell, I think Dave made out a hell of a lot better than Eddie, Dave Rules!!!!

  • Never understood that music isn't about money eh ?

  • Dave peaked during the US Fest, particularly Ice Cream Man and God Bless the Child.

  • That is awsome!!!

  • When they where good, they were Kings! The best times of my life were the classic Van Halen concerts! But you can't turn the clock back unfortunately. And I was a big Dead Head!

  • hm... this is pointless... all of u just dont have the balls to admit that sammy hagar is the better singer. If I go to a show, yes want an entertainer, but where the fuck is that gonna get him w/o the voice? Sammy is fun to listen to. Dave, sounds like someones gaging him at times. He can't sing near as good as sammy, thats why Sammy>Roth. And ewv1. How old are you? ur5 y/o. All of u need to grow the fuck up, and stfu as well, while your at it.

  • Awesome Video!! LOve to see vH in their prime, cant get enough baby!!!

  • If I go to a Van Halen concert,I want to see a rock concert,not a circus.Sammy Hagar is a much better singer than Dave,and he can actually play the guitar and remember the lyrics!Dave is all about a show and not the music.If you like watching a dude running around in spandex thats your choice,I prefer a singer and a rock show.Long live the RED ROCKER!!!!
