  • A great rock history moment was that dance at 0:10

  • Please , Sammy , come back! You are only way to rock!

  • Please , Sammy , come back! You are only way to rock!

  • There's only one way to listen to Van Halen; with Sammy Hagar. He puts David Lee Roth to shame. It's a shame that they have reunited with Roth.

  • @Neilfrozn

    its a shame sammy took the rights to most of van halens songs

    I wanted to hear this song at the 2012 tour

  • Great version of 123R. Grabs ya. They ruled 86

  • Saw them on this same tour about 10 days before this New Haven show was shot.

    August 18th, 1986 at the CNE in Toronto was an amazing show!

    One of the best live performances I've ever seen...

    Didn't hurt that we got the tickets from Valerie herself!

    Still a show burned into my brain....WOW!

  • Licht:Eddie, Schatten: ich. Aber ich hatte auch nur 22 Bünde.

  • If this ain't rock and roll I don't know what is ???...

  • Would have given anything to be at this concert...but I was only 7.

  • ...and that ain't it...

  • I live in New Haven ct. Saw this gig and it was awesome. So were the chicks.

  • Saw them on this tour in DC. What a show ! What a song !

  • The problem with this video is; the second best guitar player in this video is probably in the top 20 all time. Sammy is an axe slinger, for sure, but Eddie is in a class all by himself.

  • @DonnyShort1 Satriani can do anything Eddie can do and then some.

  • una de mis mejores canciones. y es que...sólo hay un camino hacia el rock.

    

  • Van Halen needed a singer after the slit up of DLR... Not a guitarist...

  • Hagar was the shit live. Dave comes off as some cheap Vegas act.

  • Well said... All my friends always disagreed with me saying Dave was better... I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who thinks that way...

  • @Tex812 Van halen cant be that bad with hagar. 4 #1 albums compared to roths 0

  • Sammy Hagar The Red Rocker He needs to stay on his own band as Sammy Hager. Big Sell Out !

    Van Halen sucked with Hagar doent fit in, Halen ,no sell out !

    Chickenfoot really sucked worst band not a rock n roll band, Mike Anthony needs to go back with Van Halen, Halen,Hagar,Anthony are fuckin themself off.... ACDC is the truest best rock n roll band more than ever, they deserved hte Hall of Fame,,,,,, I would give AC DC alot of credits !!!

  • @Tex812 someone was drunk when they watched this video and decided to comment on it

  • @Tex812 I had to read your post three times because I had no clue of what you were saying. There might be a reason why Sammy and Mike Anthony left VH and are much happier with Satch playing guitar with them.

  • Sorry. I love Sammy. He is the Red Rocker. Bad Ass. Always. But he does not match with Van Halen. They are each better without each other. Shows VH on the decline. Kinda like that asian kid with Journey. Sorry your time passed you by. And again, my favorite band, ACDC without Bon Scott, sorry, not the same.

  • Younger bands should realize there's only one way to rock. Because they're way isn't working.

  • @MrVHWolf But you can times daves #1 albums by 1000000000 and he still would have a BIG 0. How many did sammy have? O yea, 4! Just face it right now van halen will not do anything with van halen. Chickenfoot will sell more albums then present day van halen

  • @247cabowabo Chickenfoot <3

  • I agree with "fraroc" ........ if its good music to u? then its good music to u!!!!! NOW HAVING SAID THAT, I AM ASKING ANYONE WHO LIKES MUSIC TO CHECK OUT MY VIDEO! ~ vincent

  • Hard to look at easy to listen to

  • Van halen grossed twice as much moany and sold twice as many albums with Dave.

    See VH in 2012 at an arena near you!

    See Chickenfoot at a club or casino near you!

    LOL

  • @vmartin96 really? Why do people walk out of roth concerts? And stick around to rock to sammy?

  • exelente

  • I miss the '80s, sans the dreadful Parachute pants.

  • i wonder if ed watches this now and thinks why the pink pants WHY!!!!

  • God damn! That was smokin! Sammy is also an EXCELLENT guitar player as well. Of course, you have to defer to the King when you're in that band but man can he play!

  • ...How to Play Guitar and Kick Ass..at the same time... ;)..!! ♥

  • Damn Eddie makes it look easy. Van Halen forever

  • That IS FREAKING AWESOME...SAMMY IS THE KING... !!!

  • People forget that Sammy was also a pretty good guitarist too

  • Ah the good old days

  • the crowd doesnt seem to be wild as the roth era :/

  • Eddie rocking along side Sammy was just fucking awesome.

  • it was sammy and the manager's idea to not have a cloth or tarp behind the stage. they wanted the fans all around them to view the stage. as sammy said in red, those extra 2500 seats were pure profit. he also wanted more interaction with the fans too.

  • this might be the most fun to watch live event ever.

  • Amazing!

  • This is one of the best videos shot with Sammy and Van Halen. I love the way they just freking play and rock. As Sammy wrote "there's Only One Way to Rock".

  • Oh man, it looks like the band just walked off the set of Miami Vice! Those clothes are awful!!!!! Good music, but those clothes! It's just too much!

  • UUUUFFFF canciononon ehhh culeros !!!

  • ¡fenomenal hijueputaaaaaaaaaaaa!

  • i dont like reading the dave vs sammy arguments, but it always seems to be started by someone hating sammy for no reason, just an observation

  • @Schusnap That was the song 5150 on the Live Without A Net Video.

  • Their's only one way to rock.....and that's with david lee roth

  • Sammy hagar and van halen rock

  • there's only one way to rock! ludwig drums my friends!

  • ludwig drums my friends!

  • When will people stop comparing musicians ffs, each one has his own way has his own feeling and passion for playing , but if u like one better than the other thats ur own opinion u like his style better than the others but doesnt make the others suck or that hes better

  • I like Sammy, I like Van Halen, but it's kinda like ice cream and steak. They're both good, but not together. I got no problems with Sammy singing the Van Halen classics, but the music kinda went downhill starting with 5150. JMHO.

  • sorry but Ed rocked Sammy's version....Nooo! smoked it...made it better! Love it!

  • haha, look at the people at 2:10 - not too excited, aren't they... die finden's nich so spannend :) lach

  • I was at this show...my first VH concert!

  • 11 People had theit eyes molten becuase of the awesomeness of this song and couldn't find the ''Like'' button.

  • F*** i´m missing VH on tour. get back together please......

  • WOW!!

  • man thats good.

  • lol my dad put me to sleep with this song!

  • I always dig folks playing instruments that they're not known for (at least to the average fan). So it was a kick seeing Sammy trading solos and fills with Eddie. I have to say, Sammy is a very proficient guitar player. Plays at a completely professional level and was able to hold down lead guitar on the other songs from this tour that EVH played keyboards on.

  • I HATE WHEN FREAKING PEOPLE SAY VAN HAGAR, THATS SOUND SO DISRESPECTFUL.

  • @dyno1316 It's meant to...

  • @dyno1316

    I think a lot of people use the name Van Hagar to describe Sam's era with the band because it sounded nothing like the original Van Halen. The songwriting & music totally changed when Hagar got on board.

    VH had some good tunes w Sam but nothing compares to the original VH lineup w Roth, those first 6 albums are timeless and hold up well even today.

  • i love Eddie Van Halen and have all respect for him but some of his playing doesnt really go with the song. Song still awesome.

  • Best Van Hagar song ever.

  • @tjcoffey Uhmm dude this is a song from Sammy Hagars solo career..... yeah just thought you should know

  • @stojy161994 I knew that. Standing Hampton, 1981. The song took on a different life once Eddie got his hands on it. So, best Van Hagar song ever.

  • @tjcoffey Still not a Van Halen song lol its a Sammy Song and Eddie didnt really change shit

  • THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

  • Best Dam book on the market today... RED by Sammy Hagar! READ IT! NOW! Please :) Trust me you will love it!

  • EDDIE RULES!!

  • Seriously, WTH was Hagar thinking with that jacked up hair??

    I've seen better wigs.

  • @Kickstart25 Before he joined Van Halen ,and came off his solo tour Sammy cut his hair really short.After his solo tour Sammy was only lookng to relax and take as much time off as possible,and plus he wasn't serious about joining Van Halen until Eddie called him,and invited him over to hear a couple of songs they had already wriiten for the album 5150.

  • Hagar looks like a homeless rodeo clown.

  • @DrowningInDejaVu

    One of the best descriptions I've ever heard about the Cabo Wabo clown!  HaHa

  • Nasty fills by Edward!!!!!!!!!!

  • What kind of guitar is Sammy Using. Is that the Rhodes Concord By Jackson Or ???

  • @alstvc yes it is. pretty sick, isn't it?

  • This concert was the absolute peak of EVh's talent. He looks happy and is razor sharp.

  • @11gwing I would not say it was the peak by anystretch...but the adding of Sammy seemed to energize his sound alot......I love all the sick fills....

  • Im SICK and tired of all these Sammy vs Dave debates. A TRUE van halen fan thinks both are amazing and different in their own way. I am one of those fans! I could be listening to Mean Streets one minute and then I could listen to Love Walks In the next! Its ALL good music, its ALL rock n roll!

  • @fraroc same dude! Just enjoy this kick ass music and stop arguing!

  • @fraroc

    And a true Van Halen fan knows Mean Street AND Love walks in. Props to you bro.

  • @fraroc peace love and rock and roll brother!!

  • @fraroc perfectly said!!!!

  • @fraroc THANK YOU

  • @fraroc

    Rock on man!!!

    I LOVE VAN HALEN!!

    1978-2011

  • @johnnybeane 1978-PRESENT you mean :)

  • @fraroc

    Yeah.

  • C3==■

    ►==■

  • Dave vs. Sammy... What a load of $h*t

    Let's just effen duke it out over chocolate vs. vanilla, why don't we asshats?

    BOTH MEN ARE ROCK MONSTERS!!!!!!

    We should all drop to our knees and thank Jehovah or Satan (take yer pick) there wasn't just "one" Van Halen. Eddie, Alex & Mark had way too much music in them for just one band line-up. Every iteration was just MORE GREAT ROCK FOR THE FANS!

    In times where new cuntree and shithop rules the airewaves, just be thankful there was a VH!

  • @GorgeousRoddyChrome I agree with everything you said, except for "Mark." I think you mean "Mike."

  • And the only real singer was David, Sammy ok, but not to compare!

  • @Eurashkigal ... yeah!, you can not compare Hagar and Roth.... Roth,lost his voice long, long time ago....

  • Van Halen - David Lee Roth + Sammy's guitar skills + Sammy's voice = AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!

  • Dear kids,

    The instrument that Edward Van Halen is ACTUALLY playing live is called a guitar. Lead singer Sammy Hagar is not singing with autotune. And no, no boy band sync dance moves. This is what rock used to sound like- not posers like today's "artists". Yes, the clothes are goddawful - that was called the 1980s.

  • @vibeverses

    AMEN!

    Even though I am 16, I totally cover this song similar to this LIVE. :)

  • @vibeverses hahah very well put

  • @vibeverses 80's style might have been bad, but nothing compares to this shit people are wearing nowadays. Who the fuck wants to see someone walking around with their pants half hanging off their ass??

  • @vibeverses Would you surprised to hear that im 14 and dig everything about the 80's? especially Van Halen theyre my favorite band ever! And being a guitarist it makes it even more great and meaningful. EVH is my idol he is just on another level for me, between the technicality, the soul, and just that insane tone. but besides that my point is. yes there are kids out there these days that still love these guys like you used to...just in much smaller numbers

  • @vibeverses couldnt have said it any better.. nice man...

  • fuckin sweet! sammy and eddie both playing, they should have done this ALOT MORE!!!!!! either way Van Halen was better with HAGAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

  • there is only one way to rock. and this is the way.

  • man, one of sammy's best songs

  • This take this Sammy's solo song to a new level..

  • awesome leads by eddie.....

  • I think they dressed so funny so when they got on stage, they couldn't feel any embarrassment of anything they did, since their clothes were more ridiculous XD

  • Sammy now says Eddie was nothing but a big drunk!

  • wow sammie is used a jackson RR

  • always prefer Dave on record but this tour was amazing because they had something to prove.Eddie at his peak.

  • Unreal tour. First one out of the gate without DLR and they KICKED ASS on this one. Balls as huge as biscuits.

  • Sammy > Pussy lee roth!

  • Van Halen was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better with Sammy Hagar than with David Lee Roth. This is what rock music was meant to be.

  • Van Halen was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better with Sammy Hagar than with David Lee Roth. This is what rock music was meant to be.

  • 10 people don't know the one way to rock

  • rock n  roll !

  • Sammy Hagar>David Lee Roth

  • @zeedster50 if you like girly rock sure

  • Lets stop fuckin around ed. Get it figured out,put down your ego get mike back in the band and take dave AND sammy out on the road and give the fans what we want! (dont bring cherone with you,unless he's a roadie.who needs that reminder)

  • @beerbellygdog no sammy please

  • there is only one way to rock..with Eddie at the guitar helm!

  • Sammy & Eddie tradin' 4's....Priceless!

  • For all the kids out there, here's how it's done!

  • Boys and Girls take note, this is how it's done!!!!!!

  • 9 people cant rock

  • All you need to know about 35 years of Van Halen:

    David Lee Roth = PLUNGED HIS COCK INTO THE HOTTEST VAGINAS

    David Lee Roth = LAUNCHED INSANE SPLIT-KICKS WITH EASE

    David Lee Roth = SNORTED ENOUGH COCAINE TO KILL CHUCK NORRIS

    Sammy Hagar = BUTT-FUCKED CHIMP WITH A POODLE PERM

  • Edward Van Halen CHANGED THE WAY THE GUITAR WAS PLAYED. That = Genius. And why is there even a Sammy VS. Dave debate? It was EDDIE vs. Dave then Eddie vs. Sammy, then finally EDDIE vs. Mike. But no matter how many people he kicks out of his band, that fool can SHRED.

  • sammy is a great guitar player but theres no need to play when eddie is blazing his gutar all the time

  • @Schusnap yeah eddie slows down to stay in time with sammy

  • i wish that i was there ........

  • i love the very end. Its like Eddie "Shred this motherfucker" Sammys like "duudee, lets waiiillll!"

  • ACE

  • Respect where its due,Sammy can play a mean solo,but Eddie is in a class of his own....

  • :) Even better than the original (or did I say that already?)

  • Ahhhhh yeah Van Halen.

  • I was in 11th grade and saw this show in NJ, 1st show of 4 sold out shows. Incredible show. Sammy was great with them, so much range, played guitar. I love both VH's. Two differrent styles of the band, both great.

  • there is only 1 WAY TO ROCK...WITH V-H  WITH SAMMY

  • eddie van halen was so hot lol and like the best guitarist ever!

  • eddie makes the guitar practically talk towards the end. great energy....there is only one way.......this way

  • This is what makes Van Halen so good, all that energy in one song!

  • Nerver like VanHalen with that singer!!!

  • @pinonoir302 then your not a real van halen fan, and more importantly, why are you here?

  • That is awesome

  • ONLY ONE TO ROCK...WHAT ELSE CAN U SAY:?

  • There is only one way to rock. and that way is to fuck rap and listen to all this good shit!

  • Comment removed

  • eddie makes it look way to fuckin easy

  • ROCKIN'!!!!

  • This is so clean it sounds like it was cut in a studio! Sweet. : ) Go Sammy

  • This fuckin rocks!!! Even better than the original!

  • 9 people forgot how to rock

  • Sammy is way more talented than David.

  • Dudes that jacket Sammy's wearing look like the outfit Micheal Jackson wore in the wiz as the scarecrow. great song bad clothes bad hair in those days

  • Is that Valerie Bertinelli on lead guitar? Damn she's hot - only she looks a little flat-chested here. Still, though, I'd bang that bitch like she was an outhouse door in a storm.

  • @GeorgeDedaj what the heck are you talking about??

  • that is so damn awesome!! one of the best van halen performances ever!!!

  • But Eddie feeds the era.

  • I never knew Sammy could shred as hard as that.

  • 9 People Were rocked too hard.

  • @TEAMFOXRACER For a video with 260,000 views 9 dislikes is astounding! I mean, I Didnt know 9 people didnt like music. :) FWIW i got a good chuckle from your comment ;)

  • thx 4 uploadin :)

  • Nothing has ever stood up to this concert for me. I was vaccinated by it,

  • @1pick2sticks Yeah dude! This was officially my "First Concert"...though I only saw it on tv. This was origionally aired on HBO or some cable channel. I was 14 and my little bro and I planned for weeks to see it on the night of the premier. God, we weren't disappointed! One of the best shows ZI've seen, even if I wasn't there in person.

  • They had the WEIRDEST fashion styles going on back then, but not even horrible clothing could make van halen rock any less!!!

  • Great performance!...

  • This ladies and gents, is why Eddie Van Halen is god, give him any song, he will shred it and make it sound amazing. That is the awesomeness which is.... Van Halen.

  • i think alex needs a bigger drum kit

  • Theres only one Eddie what a beast !!

  • @reanimate280.....Your right about the clothes and the drumkit but that was in style back then but the music back then is WAY much better than this shit of today they think is music.

  • Comment removed

  • As much as i love this song and i know its sammy's original song, but you dont play solos when youve EVH in your band. That should not happen!

  • @Mun4z Hes got a ton of talent to be able to keep up though. Not many can wield an ax onstage next to EVH

  • What kind of guitar does Sammy have

  • @ICEMANdrake214 Looks like a jackson to me, but i do know he loves the KRAMER!

  • @ICEMANdrake214 It looks like a kramer vanguard, I could be wrong...
