funny how van halen died for the past 15 years with sammy in the band,so they bring back DLR and the band is hot again.. goes to show u what the majority of van halen fans want to see
Recently, Sammy has said that this song is about his being abducted by aliens. I don't think he's crazy. I believe he had some kind of Divine Experience, perhaps a Visitation of Mary.
the reason they brought sammy in is so eddie could play keys while sammy played guitar, sounds great at the meeting but it's like bringing in gareth bale to play striker while messi plays left wing. sure they could do the job but why?
You nailed it bro. Michael Anthony was THE backing vocal element of the band. I just watched the video for "Tattoo" today and thought, decent, but, something's missing. Just doesn't have the same sound without Michael Anthony on backing vocals.
Where did VH's balls go? Don't get me wrong like 5150, but this is sappy-same for Why Can't This Be blah blah and 0U812. Hagar made VH a supergroup, lol. Sammy had more balls in his solo career and with Montrose.
from 4:17 to 4:24 you see Michael, Eddie, Sammy, and Alex completely feeling the song..i love how you can tell they were happy, best shit ive seen in a long time
2 different bands ... Sammy extended there careers and there sound... one of the greatest bands in the world but with out Sammy they couldnt have made the next step and would have just drifted off into the sunset. I love both David and Sammy but they were 2 different singers that made 2 different bands that gaped 2 different generations
Huh!i just started listening this vid without watching it and thought, what the hell happened to Eddie, it is crappiest guitar playing ever heard from him?? Than licked on video and saw Sammy with his guitar :-)))
I dont care what any Roth fan says... if listening to Vanhagar is like listen pop music instead of rock music I'll take that any day over todays crap on the radio!
@SirRembrant I agree. Not to mention that Sammy never had a problem singing Dave's songs, even today at the age of 64 he can still sing them. You can't say that about DLR singing Sammy's songs, can you?
@TheMajik07 I agree that Sam couldn't sing Dave's songs like Dave could, but you missed my point entirely. My point was that Roth can't sing Sam's songs AT ALL. He can only sing his own songs. Even Gary Cherone never had as much a problem singing Dave's songs as much as Sam's. If you asked Dave to sing "5150", "I Can't Drive 55", or "Dreams", he couldn't do it. Sammy would sound better singing Dave's songs than Dave singing Sam's.
@servantlol I guess it's an opinion thing, cuz I have heard Sam try to sing Dave's songs and he sucks really bad! I have only heard Cherone try Panama and it was terrible. Dave has never attempted a Sammy song cuz he hates them, so I don't know how you can say he CANT. I cant imagine it would be very good but again he has never attempted. Every attempt Sam had at Dave's songs were really bad so I dont get where you think he would sound better??? There is nothing to compare them.
@servantlol Dave wouldnt be caught dead singing those awful Van Hagar tunes is what I am saying, whether he could do it vocally or not we will NEVER know. Just tried to listen to Sammy do "Aint Talkin Bout Love" and it should be outlawed cuz it is criminal! Terrible shit dude!
@TheMajik07 I can imagine that Sammy would sound "bad" singing Roth-era VH, but have you ever heard Dave try to sing high like Sammy? Ick! Regardless of what Sam sounds like singing Roth's songs, I'm almost positive Dave wouldn't be able to sing Sam's music. If he could sing that high, he probably wouldn't have needed Mikey to sing those high harmonies. I love Roth, but in my eyes Sammy could sing circles around him, whether you like Sam's music or not.
@servantlol Yeah, I dislike about 90% of Van Hagar songs, too much "love ballad" for me. The only Van Hagar song I could listen to very often was "Humans Being". Mikey's harmonies were great but he used them behind Sammy as well. I just don't care for Sammy's voice. I know others liked the Ballad stuff, it just wasn't my idea of Van Halen.
Whoa! I love his voice so much, but he's not hitting those high notes very well live. I wonder how they make it sound so perfect during the recording.
