Sammy Hagar never left he still tours with Van Halen he just ilkes 2 write his own songs n Sammy Hagar is awsome i like David Lee Roth 2 but Sammy is better for Van Halen
Actually, Sammy's original intent was for this song to be about "racism in the deep South" and how the white man is holding the black man down. That didn't sit too well with me, because I'm from the South and things are much better than they used to be. It's not perfect, but race relations have improved -- and in many areas, it's better than it is in other parts of the U.S. It's easy for a stupid musician to sit in Cabo drinking Tequila and point the finger. The album bombed liked his career.
Aaah! Such good memories of this song! Hauling ass in my older brothers classic buick, 15 years old, thinkin I was some kind of badass. Me and my little brother blasting this song and trying to find a place to sneak a ciggy. Sweet!
The truth hurts don't it EVH & AVH!!!!! What have they done since Sammy left? Answer=NOTHING!!!!! They said Sammy had bad work ethics, Hagar solo albums & Chickenfoot are about 7-8 recorded CD's vs. VH @ 0!!!!!!
I met both Roy Rogers and the late harmonica master Norton Buffalo five or six years ago during a break in an outdoor show in Caldwell, ID at St Chapelle winery and my second live show ever was the Boise, ID stop of Van Halen's 1984 tour! I smile listening to this every time, it just ROCKS! Vieve Roy & The Red Rocker!
What a great Song, loving all you do Sammy.Thank you for your Music,Listening to your great music just makes me happy! Are you having any fun yet??? Yes,Yes I am,thank you Mr.Red Rocker,i am having a lot of fun.God bless Sammy Hagar,Anna from Germany
It didn't matter to me if he was in VH or not, because regardless of what other people thought he is still the greatest. I got to see hime live on the 2 days ago and it was pure excellence.
I wish Hagar never joined VH. He didn't need them obviously and kicks serious ass without them bitches. Don't forget, Sammy was with Montrose and had a great solo career. He's written a lot of great songs and he is a great guy. VH can't make it alone with David or Sammy. And now they axed Michael. Sammy is the man and can stand on his two feet. I never liked Sammy in VH, I thought it made Sammy less of a man.
Here's one for ya, I think it's Sam's mom in Right Now when the older lady kisses the screen...I don't remember what the text is off the top of my head.
The monkey is a shot at ED cause sammy felt he was being manipulated by Ray Daniels at the time, it really didn't have anything to do with the Darwin Monkey or at least I've never heard that.
it is Huey Lewis on harmonica and it's also slash on the rcok guitar parts and some country dude on the dorbo or slide at the begining.
AH, well I was just making an edumucated guess with the monkey Darwin OU812 thing. The slide guy's name is Roy Rogers. You can find a short clip of Sammy and Roy playing this song on Letterman.
love this video, I love the "evil" sammy and the "good" one, the dark one and the white one...it's just a great video. If you watch it's Sam's mom that's getting her purse stolen. Coulda done without the whole monkey playing the guitar but whatever.
I guess the monkey bit was a take on the 0U812's Darwin photo theme. Again, this was Sammy at his most bitter with EVH, I doubt he'd do something like that again. Thanks for the info on Sammy's mom's cameo, I keep learning new things about this song/video every time I check the comments. You red rocker fans are awesome!
fuck. sammy is badass. van halen is such a corrupt band and it sucks that they make such awesome music too, but this just goes to show that sammy has the balls in the relationship. always has, always will. rock on sammy.
i like roth and hagar but im tired of all theese jackass.dissing on hagar.all 5 of his albums went to number one unlike roths. they had more hits,sold more albums,and had a much greater suceess with hagar, so people must have liked him,not taking away from roth,there both great frontmen.
Right on. Some people are just so weak that they've allowed themselves to be conditioned to believe they can like only one thing and have to disrespect anything other. It's systemic of our culture as a whole, not just the loyalties toward Van Halen. Sad. All these people hating on Sammy Hagar, Gary Cherone or DLR for that matter sound like weak-minded irrational idiots. I love both DLR and Sammy. As far as I'm concerned I really do get the best of both worlds.
I still remember the night I was drivin' home and I heard what sounded like Van Halen music, but the voice wasn't DLR...kinda sounded familiar, like someone else's voice that was great R'n'R...kinda like Sammy. But that couldn't be...? A dream ticket? Yup. And it went right up into the top charts and stayed. Doesn't take anything away from Diamond Dave, but Sammy's got an edge and a groove that really added a new dimension to VH, who were always a band w/attitude. Great stuff.
Sammy made VanHalen more money with the 5 albums they made than Eddie and Alex deserve. David Lee Roth was the ONLY singer made for VanHalen. Sammy will ALWAYS be Sammy...
sammy as soul in is voice david is just plain ass goofy he was just first in van halen that's why people love him nothing else
