Van Halen - Love Walks In (Unplugged 1/3) [11/06/93 Bridge School Benefit]

[jfuentezhd]

Holy shit when Sammy hit that first note in "contact", I bout freaked! What a strong freakin voice! Like a polished razor blade..

[waterkeeper03]

I'm a Sammy fan.. sorry. it's not even about Van Halen.. they never would have had me without the Red Rockers Voice.. and no disrespect to VH, but I would love to see Sammy inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame separate the band.

[ThethiefRacoon]

david lee roth is the best¡¡¡



[umumgot]

god sake its all opinion. if im honest, my opinion on vh singers is sammy > gary > dave, but then you have vh singers showmanship, which would be dave > sammy > gary, and the songs that were released when they were at the front (which is the most important) being sammy = dave > gary

[flamingcurent]

Guys, BOTH Dave and Sammy are awesome, and both brought their own unique talents to the band. If you're a VH fan, then you can recognize this and love the band, no matter what incarnation.

[Bgould62]

It,s Funking Van Halen, I got over the break up along time ago ,they all rule to keep it the goog work ,Rock on Dude!

[zachattack969]

Both? I think they were amazing with all 3 singers

[Sadiesexy]

@zachattack969 I think the same.

[90lonewolf90]

lol I spent so much time enjoying the music of Van Halen that i never checked the singer hahaha. i never even knew there was a few! fuck the fued! Van Halen is Van Halen!

[willyworm2002]

Thank You Sammy Hagar.

[PoundcakePlaysMW2]

A true Van Halen fan likes VAN HALEN, in ANY incarnation. You people who are like "I love Dave, I'm a true VH Fan" you are a fucking retard. That makes you a Dave fan, not a Van Halen fan. Both were amazing, WERE, Dave can't pull it off anymore, I think Sammy does his own music well today but I guess he can't pull of VH stuff anymore. They were both great, stop being children.

[vhlvr]

@PoundcakePlaysMW2 So true

[redhed5150]

@PoundcakePlaysMW2 i agree with you!

[MYSTIKOOL37]

@PoundcakePlaysMW2 Agreed. Each singer brought a different dimension to Van Halen's music and made it special in their own way. IMO different doesn't mean better or worse, it means unique, and by that the music was made great. Similarly, I see the same comparisons made between Scott Stapp & Myles Kennedy with regards to Creed and Alter Bridge, and my thoughts are the same. Both bring a different dimension to Mark Tremonti's music that makes it great. Neither is better, because both are great.

[joescout]

@PoundcakePlaysMW2 don't leave out gary! he walked the line too.

[culbukol]

Compare Arnel Pineda's version from Zoo Band... who is better?  Be surprised.....

[armandojuan64]

Wowww ....... what a beautiful tune ...!!!

[hearsjimi]

I got the chills !

[ligaoeno]

Sweet!!!  Acoustic version of Love walks in. 5150 yeah!!!!

[bigdTE71or44]

this is the only good song sammy sings DLR all the way

[Vitomania94]

dkuoo1 i luv the way u think

[dku001]

Sammy Hagar is the best VH singer!

[xperezx7]

they were bigger when they were with david but sammy definetly could sing better.

[51Thundersticks]

@dku001 Yep!

[littlekicxs86]

We named our dog Sammy. There was nothing better than Van Halen in the 80's, 90's.

[RubyLovesTomDonnelly]

I just Love Sammy Hagar singing his songs with vh~~~

[julioaze]

great band, beauty music.

[mindeloman]

one of my least favorite VH songs (the whole love thing) but this rendition really grabs my ear. Eddie should have never touched a keyboard. Sammy's voice really powers through when he doesn't have to compete with that damn key board hum.

[vanntolentino21]

that's a badass photo of them. but why is alex so thin? he's like a twig. haha, anyway.. long live van halen

[cvancvan]

Let's be honest Dave is the best......Circus act-Las Vegas I love him but Sammy is the true musician everyone agrees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Bet­ter from the heart than the soul of a money monger.

[LPHALEN]

Lets be honest....Sammy hands down has a better voice than Dave....everything Sammy touches turns to gold....Montross, his solo career, VH, Chickenfoot and the Wabos....Dont forget the tequila, and Dave was a paramedic!

[downincognito76]

have u ever heard a sammy solo album , yikes did one ever go platinum ?? there all pretty much crap

[ronwabo]

Sammy actually had two platinum albums before joining Van Halen.

[downincognito76]

did they actually go platinum b4 joining van halen? or while he was in van halen , even though they were released b4 . Standing hampton isnt to bad , quite like that , and dangerzone r pretty good , love love or money

[texasheatwave93]

platinum is a pretty high status. plenty of artists dont have albums that go platinum.

[redhed5150]

@LPHALEN yeah dont forget the tequila...lol

[fatscott]

Oh, yeah Check me out on the good side here Well, my baby's on the corner and she's lookin' so fine Put one and one together and it blowed my mind A man needs love to live, I'm the living proof Catch that smile and I hit the roof We'd double check but you keep on walking I'm in love Once over I'm overdone So this is love? Ooh, I need your lovin' Come on baby, take me home So this is love? Ooh, I need your lovin' I'm just skin and bones

[vhlvr]

lol wrong song bud.

but a good song nonetheless.

=D

[STLFISHER]

ROCK ON SAMMY!!!

[Sadiesexy]

And then you sense a change,

Nothin' feels the same,

All your dreams are strange,

Love comes walkin' in,

Some kind of alien,

Waits for the opening,

Simply pulls a string,

Love comes walkin' in!

I Adoree Thee!

[vhlvr]

Another world, some other time

You lay your sanity on the line

Familiar faces, familiar sights

Reach back, remember with all your might

[SexySam979]

@Sadiesexy Love Comes Walking in without you knowing it!

[SexySam979]

@Sadiesexy Love Comes Walking in without you knowing it!

[jacobyellsbury99]

some kind of alien

And then you sense a change,

[LeagueOJustice]

The history on what Sammy's done for rock n roll in general and VH in particular has yet to be written.

[kdinhoguitarra]

Sammy has an amazing voice. I love this era!

[Azzkik411]

He sounds exactly the same thats crazy and impressive...

[drew307]

i would give anything to see this

[fubartattoos]

I hate the Sammy\Dave wars they both created a different feel. I like them both and don't feel the need to slam one or the other. Sammy is a much better singer than Dave but Dave is one hell of a showman.

[Uncensoredpanda]

well sammy had a voice like a lower pitch steve perry and david lee roth had a more of a lower pitch robert plant

[fraroc]

@fubartattoos you are a true VH fan, a true fan likes both

[vhlvr]

@fubartattoos Amen to that!

[ricmgrande]

@fubartattoos, when a band changes the singer, or an important musician, it's a new band, so I agree with you. I think that Van Halen sounded more hard with Dave. Sometimes a little bluesy. The Sammy era is really a new one, the songs are more pop, even though I love both Sammy and Dave eras. I think the only mistake Eddie did was that of inviting Gary to sing. I think that in Van Halen 3 album there are lots of nice ideas for compositions, but Gary was not the right singer for V.H.

[vhlvr]

@ricmgrande Nicely put!

[endranesta]

@ricmgrande If i may add it up, it was also a big mistake for Gary to accept the offer. Gary is great singer, personally i think he's doing not bad, only just because we are accustomed to listen to Sammy's great voice, we felt that Gary does not fit in.

[danimal97520]

@ricmgrande I think it wouldn't have mattered who they brought in after Sammy. When Dave left, they got very lucky to get a guy that fit so well in Sammy. You don't get that lucky twice. And for all of Gary's good qualities pre-Van Halen, I think he tried far to hard to sound like Sammy part 2 on Van Halen III.

[MJBoyagian]

@ricmgrande Gary looks like the butler/chauffeur in Addams family lol!

[danimal97520]

@fubartattoos Shame we cant combine the 2. Sammy's voice with Dave's live showmanship. Would have the absolute perfect lead singer...

[Juggalo5588]

the only one of those guys who resembles his 1980's counterpart was michael anthony

[vhlvr]

Yeah, I Wonder How He Can Still Hit Those High Notes After All These Years...

[jsney20]

Oh my good was that Eddie singing Love Comes Walking In (The line)

[STLFISHER]

sammys still a beast

[ALFrankenstrat5150]

Unfortunately Sammy can't sing this anymore. His voice is shot to put it mildly.

[caputo1000]

hes 60 years old....dude.

[ALFrankenstrat5150]

Another reason why he shouldn't attempt to sing these songs again. He doesn't have the range anymore!

[5150pop]

what a douchbag...Sammy CAN sing this tune, just like it sounds now...

[STLFISHER]

yes he can still sing

[FrostmourneFK]

For a 60 year old he looks like he's 40. Sammy Hagar is fucking awesome.

[FloriSanchez]

Fuck yeah!

[johnnybeane]

This was @ shoreline in Mountain view Ca @ the Bridge benefit in 1993.

It was the same night that Eddie was on Valerie's NBC show "Café Americain".

I have both shows on VHS somewhere.

JB

[robbyvenetian]

What a wonderful performance!!! Please how i can find more about Van Halen unplugged? I really need it!!!

[vhlvr]

The songs I've uploaded are the only songs that I know of that they had done like this. You could always look on forums for others.

[robbyvenetian]

Thank u for the good info! I will search more

[vhlvr]

No problem, Dude.

[thegame2125]

Miss the Van Hagar!

[masfattie]

Sounds great..they should've done the MTV Unplugged back then.

[gismwism]

Ed said "Why do Unplugged? I didn't write those songs on acoustic guitar I wrote them on electric".

[JDeuce50]

This is very good. Always saw pictures but never heard audio. Sam is hitting all the notes just like off the record.

[alvanhagar]

one of my favorite boots cause it's just a display of the pure talent both these guys have. Plus this is probably the last time these 2 performed together before they had thier falling out.

Man, what a waste the last 13 years have been for Van Halen fans.

[zackvanhalen]

Good but sam needs to STOP SCREAMING WITH A PIANO. IT'S A FUCKING PIANO. You need to agjust how you sing to complement the musical situation. Not just singing but any music.
