One thing that DLR could not bring to VH was the guitar playing ability that Sammy obviously has. Not that Eddie needed help, but that second guitar was an added dimension to the band in the studio and on stage.
Hey! This is from Van Halen's 1986 concert film "Live Without A Net". I still have it on VHS! Speaking of concerts. When Van Halen finally release there album in 2012 and go on tour with Dave again, i wonder what Sammy era songs he's gonna sing? Boy oh boy, I can't wait!!!!
But Eddie can't write a tune as good as Sammy. They had a bunch of songs that weren't even close to being finished. Sammy came in finished the tunes and they sold the most albums ever! That's a fact.
we quickly forget that Sammy was a pretty fuckin' decent guitar player in his own right before he ever joined VH. He always said that Eddie had taught him "some tricks to better playing". I can only imagine where he would be these days - and I mean both of them!
@niv06290 I saw them in the mid-90's with a preconceived notion that they would suck and they blew me away. Sammy was fantastic and they seemed to get along great--perhaps one of the best concerts I have ever gone to. I see the recent videos of their band and it is almost embarrassing to watch.
You see that guy with the Kramer? That's Eddie Van Halen, he's not just a member of a very nice band. I know you know this, I just can't let that go ;-)
@codebreaker212p Yeah because 1984 was VAN HALEN starting to slide? what r u an idiot? VAN HALEN spiralled down starting at ou812 , Listen to EAT EM N SMILE better then any VHAGAR bar 5150
@mpesta Disappointing? Whats Disappointing is what dave did when he left. Just a jiggalo? WTF? While dave was doing all his pussy movie star shit Eddie was Rocking hard with sammy and peaking #1 and #2 on Billboard charts. Eddie was awesome with both sammy and dave. SO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND ENJOY THIS GOD DAMN MUSIC!
My favorite Sammy song, one of my favorite rock songs! Good choice VH.

@biginpittsburgh There is one other thing DLR didn't have, a live stage voice. He sucked live. Studio stuff was great...

@biginpittsburgh yeah, but they didn't use it enough. Sam barely ever played on album, and only on a few songs live post the 5150 tour.

Great band hitting on all 12 cylinders..
No weakness anywhere.
Ed gets to play off another guitar player for the first time..brilliant move getting the Sam Miester.
I saw this tour, this was the best song in the set.
They make it look so f*cking easy to boot...

1) Hagar's Era was just not as good as Mr.Lee Roth's, BUT this here is pretty incredible and badass haha
2) Intense, especially the first 20 seconds of the song lol
