This was back in the early 80's before you all were itch in your daddy's pants. During the Cold War when U.S and the U.S.S.R. were on the brink of a nuclear strike. Before Ronald Reagan and Gorbachev signed the agreement to disarm long range nuclear weapons and preventing a nuclear haulicaust from killing us all. Sammy Hagar sang about support for freedom against communist aggression. VOA means Voice of America. Hence all the cloak and dagger themes in the video. Sammy was cool before VH.
It's early am of the 4th of July 2011 and I'm listening to the Red Rocker sing "VOA." My celebration of all that is right with Ameria is off to a great start.
if people had so much problem's of sammy in the band maybe the millions and millions of people shouldn't have bought the album's so they would bring back david cause i would think if they had no choice like they did now they would bring him back so they can make some money so if anybody is to blame it's us the people cause we did it we have the power people use it i bought the album's cause sammy did a good job if it wasn't good i wouldn't have so stop complaining dammit enjoy it's all good
I remember when this was new. What happened to the days when America hated Socialists? Now, we have a Socialist in the White House! We miss you Ronnie Reagan!
This video represents the absolute worst aspects of American culture. Hagar is a no talent hack. Listen to Zen Arcade if you want to hear the best of what 1984 had to offer.
@indieguy81 LOL, a Hüsker Dü guy doesn't like Hagar. Shocking! What in the world brought you to even view this video? Don't you know there's only one way to rock? ;)
MTV banned this video back in the 80s supposedly because it was too violent, but it's plain to me that its pro-Reagan attitude is what MTV really found offensive.
Maybe the baddies in this video would have gotten more out of him (what did they want to know, anyway... who he got to shoot his cheesy promo photos?) if they had employed some of the tried & true techniques endorsed by the CIA. Like waterboarding?
And I'm sure the US never had any interest in trading political secrets (or arms) with oil nations. Idiot.
@soupalex We waterboarded 3 Al Queda members, and all 3 told us that once waterboarded, they were religiously released from thier obligation to be silent, and freely gave us the information we asked of them. Besides, have you seen the waterboard demonstration videos? I got news for ya... we did worse than that when I was in Boy Scouts, and we did it voluntarily.
The reason people like old VH better isn't because of Dave, it's because Eddie's guitar playing was way better. If Sammy had sung first and Dave second, everyone would favor Hagar.
Man, i blasted this video a month ago because sammy is a conservative....i always liked sammy and thought he was better than DLR in VH....Now that im also a conservative i say ROCK ON SAM! And thank you for steering me right!
@randumbvids11 i think that people can have a favourite but i hate going on a hagar vid and seeing people hating on sammy, when in all fairness, he undeniably had the better singing voice, anything else aside
@randumbvids11 Dave is better how? Sammy is 64, shreds on guitar, writes quality songs, and has the voice of an angel. He betters every band he goes to and Chickenfoot doesnt have a bad song yet. Dave is a middle aged premadonna, he played with a more energetic Van Halen and acted like a flamboyant sex macchine so people think hes better. Dave doesnt have half the musical talent as the Red Rocker
@Gravelgutband that whole paragraph is opinion, in my opinion Dave is better in Van Halen, did you mention anything about Sammy in Van Halen? I didn't think so
@Gravelgutband ok honestly does it really matter!!?? ive been reading these comments and there is 1 thing you both have in common 1 you both like older music and prolly have some good memories about it 2 both are awsome IN THERE OWN WAY its like comparing johnny cash with elvis both are good in there own way but its not possible to compare them
Wow Ive been a Hagar Fan since 1975 never seen this before. where did you find this and is there more from that source? Thanks for posting this. Woody
I think Sammy should do the White House crash again for President Gingrich!
