Before Van Halen Sammy put out some great rock and was always a great show. His years with VH were great too, but there's an honesty to his early solo work that gets lost in the commercial success he had with VH and after. Standing Hampton is his best album in my view and it stands up today.
@alkimst13 Wow, Just looked it up and you're right! Travis Barker is bout the only other famous person from Fontana! (Not counting 3-4 minor league baseball players haha)
@qwertydorknut5 actually Greg Colbrunn was in MLB, Diamondbacks world series team and others (my mother was a teacher in Fontana and he was one of her students). Daryl Sconiers of the Angels, (the first player i ever heard of that had a "substance abuse" problem - imagine that, a person from Fontana using drugs!) Sean Rooks, NBA, Ruben Henderson NFL. Graduated with him in 76. Saw Sammy with Montrose twice and solo twice. Montrose was his pinnacle IMO. I.E.
What Times Long Ago Rolled over in a creek upside down with water rushing in,and dome light on Sammy Hagar playing cassette tape palying this song. The Driver went to jail that day for DUI.
im reading sammys book right now , its gettin pretty good, bob seger offered a song, "night moves", sammy checked it out and passed on it...oops lol. but hes cool, hes been through alot.
i just absolutely looove the lyrics : "the spectrum made a shade i like.......give me technicolor light ......" ....... for some reason it feels like some lyrics from late 70s mike nesmith
this is really a rare case where lyrics are good, not just your normal dull lovey dovey shit
@The00negative I've always got that vibe from them (the Van Halen's and Roth). Mike's cool and Sammy's cool, but the other three are egocentric to say the least. Just watch some of the old interviews, you can tell that they were never going to get along with anyone.
One big difference between Sammy and Dave is, Sammy was doing great before Eddie and the boyz, and will do just fucken great without em. Roth was what, a DJ in NY? Its just a matter of taste, really, but personally, I LIKE RED!!!
this is it, for now...but when we get older, things change and something else is "IT"...lol...life hey? Go figure. I once was at a vancouver concert years ago, and high fived sammy, now ya gotta go to Cabo san Lucas to have a drink on him.
i beg to differ. every thing with roth is all a bunch of flash and tricks. with sammy hagar, everything they wrote is perfect. well written, origional, and not full of annoying whammy bar junk. actual songs, not just noise.
Back in the very late 70s and early 80s I use to cruise a lot... had a ruby red '78 bronco with plate "RED RKR" (only 6 chars allowed then). I think you can guess who my favorite musician was then... lol ;).
I liked Sammy alot more before VAN HAGAR!!!! I miss Bill Church,Gary Pihl,David Lauser and Jesse Harms as his bandmates. Especially the "ELECTRIC" CHURCH!!!!
I don't really care for this video it's too distorted. Its great to hear this song again. It sounds so clear. No high tech equipment just pure music. Sammy's Awesome.
@FAUSTIANDAWN Agreed. And I loved him as a solo artist but could never warm to the idea of Sammy being the lead singer for Van Halen. They made some great music, but it just never seemed right to me.
Hagar at his best. All Night Long was the best live album I've heard. This isn't even the version from the Red Album, it's a remake he did for his greatest hits album "Rematch". He tried to make it sound more like the live one here.
