Van Halen - Summer Nights

[UnnamedThinker]

i live for that intro!

[motleycrue24]

theres a demo out there with a version of this song with dave on vocals i would kill to get my hands on it

[zebop]

@motleycrue24 Me too, heh. I'd love to hear it.

[stevenmillan]

@motleycrue24 Yes,for this song(along with "Good Enough") was originally intended for Diamond Dave to sing(before he left the band in 1985),for maybe Eddie and Alex ought to have Dave sing this one on their upcoming tour.

[beatpros]

Eddie needs to write some licks in the new stuff like this! Will always love van halen no matter what, the new stuff just sounds a little dated for the time!

[hirskdubbi]

this song is lame,now if david lee roth was singing it and eddie was still using a cranked marshall plexi it would kick way more ass. sign of the times though or sounds of the time is more like it

[brianmayguitarist]

@hirskdubbi He is still using the plexi in this, mate!

[TheFirstBloodyNation]

That intro is like a Harley Davidson straight from hell with 20.000 rpm...

[0hypnotoad0]

This steinberger tone here could fucking cut glass

[TravelersTale]

The guitar playing is amazing...Killer intro.

[lovemaker1972]

yeaah summer days yeaah fuck the winter

[Freddy8736]

on the planet sonor this is the official song for the relev people when they lose their virginity

[charliesocceradidas]

My favorite song of all time! Never forget crusin' town back in high school cranking this song.

[segasaturnsnk]

Sammy is awesome, he brought his own and a whole different element to Van Halen. They made great music together. Of course it isn't David Lee Roth but still, like I said, a whole different unique element. Love the David era and Sammy as well. Respect Sammy or I guess ... stay butthurt for the rest of your life.

[forrester05]

Sammy you are a rockstar 

[zoident]

VAN HALEN IS THE GREATEST BAND EVER!!!...but van hagar is just not cool!

[Barnum5150]

@vanhalen3512: That's not necessarily true. I love a lot of the songs on the David half on the band, but I can't stand the guy as a singer in some of them. On the other hand, I think Sammy does an excellent job singing in nearly every song that his side of VH has, even though some of them are really terrible like Inside or Source of Infection. However, the point is completely correct. Van Halen is the shit with either singer.

[jeffbeck3]

fuck sammy

[vanhalen3512]

People!!!! if ur real Van Halen fans you woulnt care about whos singing the song! hagar and roth r both awesome and if u hate who sings it then dont even listen to them!!! its not that hard to understand!!

[Angelface6555]

No it doesn t matter?? Off course it do!! Hagar is a top level vocalist. Roth is a ratt!! Fuckin` easy... Halen is a lot better with Hagar!!

[TheBgaddy]

One of the best guitarists that ever lived + one of the best drummers that ever lived! add anyone else= Good Band!

[hoohaw1]

@TheBgaddy Neil Peart.... Rush, IS the BEST of ALL time!!!!!! Drummer that is!!!

[1ladydianna]

@hoohaw1 duh but why u postin on V- Halen? Ain't noboby said anything about Mike anthony being a great drummer

[hoohaw1]

@1ladydianna Maybe you should scroll down, n take a look.

[TheTheratfarmer]

@1ladydianna he was a good bass player. you mean alex? one of the greatest RR drummers of all time.

[nosnerd1967]

KILLER SONG>>>riffs

[janus1351]

Well spoken, NationalSD ! Personally I love this album (5150). Maybe it's because I was 16 when it was released but you can't argue with the great production, Eddies guitar AND Sammy's great vocal performance

[mack666wikid]

btw this was recorded using a steinberger trans trem guitar. thats how he does the ringing key change so easily. oh yeah and a belly full of beer. bless him.

[mack666wikid]

I heard a 16 year old Japanese girl sing this in a Kyoto Karaoke bar last year and it was the most awesome thing I've ever heard.

[DefLeppardVanHalen]

I always blasts this song every summer night.

[gdouglaspurdue]

I have been a VH fan since I was six years old!!!! LOVE IT

[centerforce2]

Van Hagar 4Ever.

[centerforce2]

I had almost forgotten how many awesome songs Van Halen made.

[coltenwalker09]

Could say F*** enough could you.!

[JEFFFXS]

may be his greatest album

[ApeLikeCreature]

@JEFFFXS Sammy's greatest, not Van Halen's...right?

[Terry4Bill]

I did a lot cruizin' for the girls with this jamming throught the rockford fosgate punch 75 and 150 and it worked too :)

[AllSystemsGoMass]

I AGREE I THOUGHT SAMMY WAS AWSOME!!!!

[grdnfn76]

Dude Sammy KICKS ASS!!!!! Sammy ROCKS!!!!!!! Sammy is the Man!!!!!

[jsox94]

Van Halen is Van Halen. It doesn't matter who sings, because the rest of the band in Michale, Eddie & Alex are there for every single album. Idk why the fuck anyone cares to argue about it, Roth Hagar and Cherone all did incredible work with VH. Shuttup and enjoy the classic art because sadly no body makes it like this anymore.

[42lynchmob]

EDDIES THE FUCKIN SHIT, DONT CARE WHO SINGS!

[NationalSD]

i dont get this. people that dont like sammy come here and comment like no lifes. If you dont like sammy then why the fuck come to the damn video? Shut the fuck up and go away. You should be fucking thankful sammy saved these guys from just vanishing. Cuz that would of happened with out him. Now enjoy the damn fucking song and shut the fuck up!

[jakeluvsmel]

@NationalSD okay.......

[scottytoonarmy]

@NationalSD quite right this is one of the best vh albums even better than a couple of roth ones diver down anybody dancing in the streets nuff said

[Minereeper]

@NationalSD Excellent use of the F-bomb my friend. I would call it a job well done.

[Thrills2010]

@NationalSD AMEN!!!!!!!

[MrSeven73]

ohh these are some hot fu*kin days

[globemaster68]

i dont think that VH, would have ever made the big time w/o DLR, but i will say it over and over again. THE BEST 10 or 11 YRS were with sammy at the microphone. that is my humble opinion, everyone is entitled to an opinion right??

[Hunkola]

@globemaster68 ---- You couldnt be more wrong......the best VH years were from 1978 to 1984......and those are the FACTS

[globemaster68]

@Hunkola THE FACTS according to you. that is ok with me.

[algor123]

this stuff is actually really good, its just different, it sounds like the bands matured a bit but is still fun like a fun older cousin instead of your wild friend, both are great in different ways, it almost a different band

[1962drob]

This Song Kicks Serious Ass, Especially On A Hot Summer Night LOL. Here in Las Vegas It's always hot in summer.

[Defsolid]

@1962drob come on it's "HOT" all year :D

[1962drob]

@Defsolid Good Point!!! When I hear Van Halen, I get hot just from Rocking Out!!!

[donniedavis1]

sammy is all heart!

[LedWilde]

Great song! I'm one of those who love the DLR era of =VH= though. To me, not all Sammy era songs do much for me. Not to say they didn't make some great songs with him. It's hit or miss to me.

[JamesJ30t]

Underrated song. Badass.

[JamesJ30t]

Underrated song. Badass.

[h2opolodan11]

thanks for the upload. really good song... especially to listen to in the cold winter =P haha

oh and honestly, I really just like stuff from both Roth and Hager.

[RealKyloss]

that's steiberger make it possible to change the key without strings drop and change sound, they drop or get higher but witout loosin the "key";

anyway song is great and I love Eddie :)

[DefLeppardVanHalen]

Van Halen is Van Halen, no matter who sings.

[whaleplayer]

@DefLeppardVanHalen What the fuck are you doing puttin VanHalen and Def Leppard in the name. Thats like eating seared flank steak and your mothers meat loaf at the same sitting.

[DefLeppardVanHalen]

@whaleplayer Because they're both my most favorite bands.

[20003saul]

david lee roth years is unbelievable but ............this album is essential too

[Progrose]

Summer Nights is a Van Halen classic. I love DLR Van Halen but this album is great too.

[cleanerfloors]

Great song; Love it; Thanks for posting.
