FUCK STEEL PANTHER!!!!!!!!!!

[cnote05]

Steel Panther =METAL SKOOL=Atomic Punk look it up for all you who never been to vegas or hollywood

[Rocksteddybelmont]

hey legend good vid im rocksteady

[sniffy45]

I never realized VH redid so many covers

[motleycrue24]

im sorry but when hagar joined it was kinda like they lost there edge and lost there outlook because of the access of all the money and fame instead of being more raw they got polished DLR somewhat was like that too when we went solo even both of the different projects had a couple good tunes it was just not the same

[wiffsofsmoke]

I was in high school from 02-06 and we would imitate VH in everything we did. Every party we played every girl we flirted with was somehow laced with VH. They are the ultimate RNR band period. My life would have never been the same if it weren't for VH. Love them!

[motleycrue24]

love the ending dave's the best and will always be... without him they wouldn't achieve what they did

[lovemaker1972]

@motleycrue24 the cover band must be fun to watch hahahahaaa sometimes ey?

[WarriorMigs24]

[GlenMyWaHansen]

good stuff, but its sad that Sammy Hagar wasent included. I would love an extented story that covers Hagars entry into the band. I just cant get enough of his voice! Van Hagar was the best ever

[Sickman1968]

@belmontthelegend Awesome, thank you for this.

[5150001]

good stuff brother cheers

[BSlash24]

at :40 tells it all, they had commercial success, pop music success, but never recaptured the hard rockin' magic, not close.

[stuh1975]

And not a single Van Halen song to be heard in this documentry!

[GreenBayLA]

Thanks for this, not a lot of new info but cool to take that ride!

[cheerleaderdane1]

hahaha heyy theres Steel Panther!

[ltuomela]

man 3:00 >>>i hate fuckin wannabe's man..ridicules to put all your music behind one band...thats beyond fuckin obsessive..lmao..

[metalwizard13]

@ltuomela you obviously haven't heard steel panther they do actually have their own songs and albums. Though they are a of a comedic nature. For a joke band their actually pretty good one of the more popular local acts in L.A. So makin money livin it up and playing great music....what's wrong with that? nothing.

[ltuomela]

@metalwizard13 its called not being original..but hey whatever turns your clock man..me i like to be a individual..cover bands are a bunch of wannabe's paint it any way you want that is the bottom line..

[metalwizard13]

@ltuomela well like I just said....they do write their own songs. Their called steel panther now they are their own band. comprende? tis not my favourite band or anything dude just guiving credit where it's due.

[killyourtyrant]

Never seen this, thanks for the post. 5*****

[humble682]

Ya know, if you asked me as long as Edward is in the band, Van Halen are cool to hear. Hagar? Great singer, not bad lyricist- for Van Halen- dont like the hair, but oh well. Roth? Pure Van Halen All The Way!! Gary Cherone? Few good tunes but a little too theatrical for my taste, still, some good tunes and Edward played like a new man with Cherone in the line up, I thought , anyways.

Cheers

[HeartAttackMan74]

DLR IS VAN HALEN!

[mellowtribe]

vanhagar sucked

[ptsmmrs]

@mellowtribe solo roth was worse.

[mkgh3]

yes indeed but only 1 song was good and gigolo was the only good song =)

[ptsmmrs]

@mkgh3 actually when i heard yankee rose i ran out and bought the tape,what a rip off.

[mkgh3]

im sick and tired of defending sammy but ive had enough of VH NOOB FANS!!!

[mattschabe]

I just seen the atomic punks 3 days ago in minneapolis, that was cool that they showed them, I was think to, "these Guys are f'n great. Spot On.

[cjjaxxon]

Thanks a lot for this series man! I'm Van Halened out now! LOL!!

[starroad89]

hahahaah hey eddie does't cry

[fumemanv]

wow i never knew.........thank you so much now I know....somebody get me a doctor.......ahhhh

[holydiver7190]

i love it how steel panther are in ther

[Obelisk2290]

the MIGHT not equal the "magic" from 77 - 85 but every album went to #1 after roth left and with dave the never had one food for thought

[jeffmay1]

Well don't mix up reality. Yes, the Sammy albums went #1, but that just means the most sales of the week. Even the albums that went #1 with Sammy didn't actually outsell the albums with Roth overall

More importantly, don't forget the context. Rock albums NEVER went #1 in the late 70's or early 80's. Sammy happened to join when ALL rock went #1. From Whitesnake, to Poison, to GNR, to Motley Crue, bands that never would have gone #1 actually did. The late 80's was a different time

[Obelisk2290]

sales numbers dont mean much to me just pointing out that roth never had a number one with roth and all the albums with sammy went to number one thats all.

[chiefthegreat]

@Obelisk2290 Every album #1 after Roth left ?

==> Roth made the name big, once on top it's easier ;

==> overall music-quality went down since the 80s; so VH hadn't any competition any more ...

Besides: The first video with the new singer was quite a gay thing ...

[Obelisk2290]

How many bands stayed on top after the changed singer? Not Motley Crue, not Ratt, not anyone besides VH and ac/dc, as far as quality thats an opinion an i am not going to buy an album cause the rest is no good. True the hard rock/metal revival started around 85. I will say VH were more groundbreakin in the beggining. you better be but imho they became better songwriters with sammy

[toadfrogblues]

Enjoyed that very much!!! Thanks dude.
