van halen-take me back(deja vu) (studio quality)

[motleycrue24]

love that intro!

[FernandoSgarbi5150]

One of the most perfect songs I've ever heard.

[demonspeedin70]

with Sammy Van halens tone follwed his style..nothing to knock him either!Sammy is an excellent artist but everyone knows Eddie for his raw sound and creative talent and just about most of that showed in the DLR era..."back then he just didnt knock the door down he totally destroyed it"!! thats a quote from Zakk Wylde..

[WanderlustX2]

@demonspeedin70 Look forward to seeing what he does with the "new" DLR era. :)

[WanderlustX2]

@demonspeedin70 And I'm a VH fan, not a Dave or Sammy snob. I think both had some great music with the band, very different but I liked it all including stuff like this. :)

[TheWebgato]

You guys do realize Eddie wrote the music and Sammy did the lyrics right?

[pmeitner]

I saw these guys in '95 Junior year of HS. Target Center in MLPS MN. They were Awesome! Our Lady peace opened up and they sucked.

[chuckiebaby66]

I think Sammy was on the beaches drinkin' tequila's, babe watchin', and rockin' out. And Dave was in bars, pullin' panties, and rockin' out. I'D KILL 2 BE EITHER 1 OF THEM.

[BIGE1312]

@ Cards6709 "Take me back off the album"? That's what Sammy said. Looking forward to the new album with Diamond Dave!

[bachrock1]

got a tesla feel

[spudgunsta]

True VH fans love both DLR and Hagar

[PowerMetalEuphonist]

@spudgunsta Like me.

[mlmr11]

@spudgunsta A more correct statement never has been made. I will even go further in saying that I didn't mind the Cherone incarnation. I don't believe it was up to Van Halen standards but it was worthy of the brand name I think.

[Hunkola]

Van Halen became legendary with David Lee Roth ---- with Sammy they became REO Van Speed Halen and stunk it up

[bluecollarcanuck]

@Hunkola They weren't that great with Gary Cherone, either.

[mlmr11]

@Hunkola REO speedwagon was a good band in their own right

[buddtazz]

They defenitly wrote better songs and were more talented with Sammy!! True Van Halen fans Love either one!!

[vitodamico]

This is just a great tune.

[NationalMan]

Great song! Great album! One of VH's best.

[jjjjjijiji22]

Van Halen is my favorite band! This is one of my favorite songs by Van Halen.

[airllusion]

I have been a Sammy fan since Montrose... I LOVED Van Hagar, but knew it'd never last... Van Halen was for guys, Van Hagar was for chix... saw em on the F.U.C.K. tour... Damn Yankees opened... Nugent is SO TALL and his pants had to be painted on! AWESOME SHOW!

[frostinghead73]

One of my all time favorite songs!

[MrSjives]

Can we all agree that Van Halen with Sammy or DLR were awesome, but, they sucked with Gary Cherone.

[jsteiner75]

@MrSjives hell yeah I am in full agreement

[scorpio1972able]

@MrSjives SOOOO very true, saw that concert and it sucked big hairy sweaty monkey balls



[42lynchmob]

FUCKN  BAD

[castlerockbulldogs]

"Your love is driving me crazy" and "I'll fall in love again" are probably the songs that Eddie Van Halen heard when Van Halen was beginning to suck, if you notice, Van Halen's songs with Sammy sound just like Sammy Hagar did before he got with Van Halen....therefore Van Halen owes it all to Sammy, he was on his way to the top and they were lucky enough to grab ahold and catch a ride! LOVE YOU SAMMY!!!!

[Soxpert]

@castlerockbulldogs C'mon dude. I like Sam too, but Van Halen was huge before Sam ever joined.

[globemaster68]

@Soxpert They were HUGE PRE 1985, i think they got WAY BETTER when the RED ROCKER joined them. just my opinion here ok??

[JRockCrusader]

I loved this song when I was younger.. I had it stuck in my head xD So I decide to look it up ^_^

[theShowStopper321]

The opening riff was from one of their club days songs called No More Waiting (Get Off My Back)

[jasonungar08]

I love people who say things like they wrote better music with Hagar. No one loved both versions of this band more than I did and with that said there are only maybe 5 or 6 Hagar songs I can even remember. And I have no problem with any of them. Hagar did not even come close to writing anything as memorable as Unchained or Running with the Devil or name another 20 songs here.

[redrocker1055]

@jasonungar08 Since when is a "memorable" better?

Nobody listens to "Unchained," "Runnin' with the Devil" or any other clasic Van Halen song for Roth's lyrical ability. No! They listen to them because of Eddie's guitar playing.

Bottom line: Sammy wrote songs that the vast majority of music listeners could listen to while Roth wore assless chaps!!!

[jasonungar08]

@redrocker1055

I totally disagree with you and there is nothing you can say, even stupid shit like this, that would change my mind. Nor will I try to change yours.

[redrocker1055]

@jasonungar08 No? How bout proof? Google "assles chaps." Roth is the 2nd pic!!!

And yes, I agree - Roth's 'lyrics," for the most part, are in fact "stupid shit!"

[jasonungar08]

@redrocker1055

music is music and everyone has opinions. like I said in my orginal comment, I loved both versions. But I'll take Panama or Drop Dead Legs or Top Jimmy or the full bug or everybody wants some or sinners swing or push comes to shove or little dreamer, DOA over right here right now or feels so good any day. again just my opinion. I don't see assless chaps when i hear the music but i guess you do so..

[outlaw6066]

Sure wish they could get Hagar and Anthony back. Right now the whole thing with Roth is a joke. They had their shining moment with him back in the day.

[helimech60]

Alot of good songs with Sammy,but I always knew they would go back to their bread and butter.

[helimech60]

Like I said,they wrote alot of good,top 40 music with sammy,but I always knew they would go back to their roots.Their bread and butter.

[Fattious]

Best VH album for me. This is my favorite track. And I've been around for all of em. Thank you for posting cards.

[joaquinsoler]

a saw these guys play in 1995 in Montreal. Collective Soul were the opening band!

[outlaw6066]

@joaquinsoler Yeah i saw that tour as well. Both bands were unstoppable back then.

[MarioSixString]

@joaquinsoler That was hell of a tour!

[SCARBAND]

@joaquinsoler your a lucky man. i was 15 when this came out and loved it. unfortunately i had no money to see these guys with sammy during the balance tour. the first time i saw these guys it was with gary sherone.. not the greatest era of van halen. still a great show though.

[castlerockbulldogs]

@joaquinsoler yeah, I saw that consert 6th row, and SAMMY was AMAZING!!!!! Collective Soul rocked out as well!

[castlerockbulldogs]

@joaquinsoler yeah, I saw that concert 6th row, and SAMMY was AMAZING!!!!! Collective Soul rocked out as well!

[Ewing5150]

@joaquinsoler I thought they were opening for bon jovi?

[foxheadspeed]

@joaquinsoler what sick combo

[TheRileyCoyote]

I used to fall asleep to this song when i had the tape when i was 7 years old and i just heard it in a store outta nowhere in january and i've been listening to it everyday since, love hagar!!!!

[smithrob26]

@TheRileyCoyote

Damn you must be young.

I was in my 20's when this came out but I still love it

[residentflea]

I remember when Eddie played this opening verse back in the late 70's believe it or not. I wish I could remember the link on youtube--goes to show you that he did pulled out some old school rock.

[zkf900]

this is one of my favortie songs, thanks for the upload:)

[rad4life1]

ty ty ty :D

[Speegs23]

They actually wrote better songs with Hagar but Roth was the better show man.

[globemaster68]

yep, DLR was the show, sammy was the power singer among the two.

[helimech60]

@Speegs23 You mean more mature songs.Yes,alot of good music,but they went back to their bread and butter.

[globemaster68]

@Speegs23 also agree with your comment, sammy was powerful, dlr was THE show. you are correct!!

[motleycrue24]

@Speegs23 i would have to disagree the funny thing is eddie wrote most of the riffs to this song with roth on a demo call no more waiting (get off my back) which you could find on here

[t3hPoundcake]

@Speegs23 Roth was a good showman, he isn't anymore tho. He is honestly horrible now. I'd rather see them with Hagar, who can actually sing still and jump around and stuff. Dave screams and forgets the lyrics and mind fucks the women in the audience.

[Skaternick911]

@Speegs23 I'm a huge Van Halen fan but I can't stand 5 minutes of Van Halen in one song. I love Roth singing and his sexy scream.

[pmeitner]

@Speegs23 - 100% Agreed!

[MegaKarlerik]

@Speegs23 couldn`t agree more

[jessiecadena24]

@Speegs23

yes but SAMMY jams DAVE dont!!!!!!

[greenarcher180]

@jessiecadena24 See VH with Roth and then see VH with Hagar and you will be disappointed. Hagar wasn't bad but Roth is always great.

[greenarcher180]

@Speegs23 Hagar couldnt write lyrics to save his ass. Roth is better in every way. Lyrics, voice, show.....

[VickyBuffaloBill]

yes they have some! eddie has made me picking up e-guitar :D

[rjvsmb]

They made some really good music.

[burtonwhore]

Great song, thanks for the upload
