Liked Sammy Hagar on his own...got used to VanHagar and dug some of it but just plain prefer the older tunes and the energy of the original lineup especially on stage.I'm glad DLR is back but the sound is begging for Michael Anthony and the performance is...well...picture an NBA game played by all the greats from '78. Just not what it once was. Dave IS singing more coherently live these days than he did back in the day and I definitely appreciate having 75% of VH anyway.
Hmmm... lets see RubHerSoul, there was Poundcake, Runaround, Right Now, Top of the World, The Dream is Over, Man on a Mission. All were in the top 30.
This is not Edwards best tone at all. It isnt even close. His front house tech didnt give him a good mix at all and it doesnt sound like he is using his own designed amplifiers. I could be wrong but thats what I hear.
@frankenstrat25 dude are you serious, van halens music from 78 to 84 shouldnt even be discussed with the stuff they did with sammy. theres no comparison.
@rattnroll5150 wtf are u talkin about im talkin about how his tone with his marshalls were better than the now i realise hes playin through fenders which i hate even though i love tube amps i think theyre just bad amps all together
@frankenstrat25 fuck i responded to the wrong person there was some guy talking about how f.u.c.k. was a better album than 1984 cause it had more number one hits or something
@frankenstrat25 Marshall amps were modeled after the late 50's Fender Bassman circuit and didn't change much until the late 70's. Late 60's Plexis like Ed's were just 100w Bassman amps with better wiring and more control pots and used EL34 power tubes instead of 6L6's.
There are 100 amp makers that make more unique and interesting amps than Marshall. Another brand-worshiping bullshit icon thing like Harley Davisons and Gibson guitars.
FUCK didn't have 6 hits. If so, name 'em. I remember 2. Oh, and Ed's playing on 1984 makes his guitar work on ALL the Sammy lps sound like Neil Young. Roth may be a dick, but these guys suck without him. And to be fair, Roth sucks without them. Van Hagar is for Perrier drinking soccer moms and dads trying to pass a kidney stone while driving their Volvos. Roth era Van halen is about partying, fucking and going off the deep end. The Osmonds rock harder than Hagar for Christ sake.
@RubHerSoul1 OK keyboard warrior asshole, you win! You get $.50 for your awesome and convincing argument. Just pay $3 shipping and I'll send you your check.
@RubHerSoul1 DLR is a non singing baldheaded failed lounge singer-You must not know of Montrose-Heavy metal- and all the other great music that hagar has done-cause your up DLRs ass!!!!!!!!!
@edzick917 Lighten up, Francis! First off DLR is a douche as a person. But on record w/ VH he is KING! And Sammy is surely a nice guy who I'd gladly buy a beer if I met him and ,yes I am fully aware of Montrose (Rock Candy, Bad Motor Scooter and all). And with Ronnie he was fine because it's second-tier rock music. But that's the point. VH was top shelf with Roth, warts and all. BTW, they suck now even with Roth back in the fold. But Vh '77-'84 is the only Vh that matters!
@RubHerSoul1FYI, F.U.C.K. officially had 5 hit singles...Poundcake went to #1, Runaround went to #1, Top of the World went to #1, Right Now went to #2, and The Dream Is Over went to #7. And the whole album went #1!!! F.U.C.K. was an excellent album! Both Roth and Hagar era's of VH were some of the best in rock ever!
@mikefont69 So what. None of 'em get played that much anymore on the radio unless it's your mom's adult soft rock station. VH didn't need #1's to get unlimited airplay on today's rock stations with Roth. You Hagar lovers are wasting your time trying to trump up that era of VH. If you like it, fine. But it ain't nothing like the Roth era! Michael jackson sold 40 million copies of Thriller. Does that make it the greatest record you ever heard in your life?
great to see them do this song, roth era is the only van halen,

hes just got those shitty peavys hes playin through he really sounds terrible i wish he got new marshalls after he got rid of his old ones
frankenstrat25 2 years ago
Well at least I agree with you on that note. And he doesn't tune his guitar down a half step anymore. That really tainted his sound too.
RubHerSoul1 2 years ago
Probably because he's gone deaf, so he has to turn the treble up high so it sounds the same to him.
