When this video came out I immediately knew what kind of women is the ONE for me. After 17 years I found her, and now we’ve been together for more than a year. My women is exactly like the one at 4:41 & 4:50
I used to come home from school or the first thing in the morning and watch MTV. The other day I was watching MTV and the MTV News came on. Nobody does the news no more? Remember Kurt Loder, Tabitha, John Norris??? Or how about the 'VJ'? Oh yeah that's right you have to PLAY VIDEOS to have a VJ!!!!!!!!!!
Man, I used to spend hours watchng MTV just waiting for them to play this video. Now it's just a couple clicks away. Who remembers countless hours on MTV?
I've been a lifelong VH fan...this was the only chance that they had to remain a constant musical force. This was the pinnacle of their' career. Sammy, whether anyone likes to admit it or not, brought VH to another strata that DLR couldn't possibly have done. THough DLR was awesome, he was to glam, Sammy had the talent when it all came down to it. Eddie is just too GD insane to realize that the rise and fall of his own name,his band's namesake, rested on his ridiculous ego.Too bad though.VH ruld
@DEMONSPEED2112 Yeah, Sammy's voice + Eddie's guitar skillz, = rock n' roll awesomeness. Not that I don't like David Lee Roth, it's just that Sammy is a much better singer.
@guitboxchicken Not to knock Sammy, cuz he was very powerful, but you can't deny that DLR was his own singer! He was him! Sammy was too similar to Robert Plant (not as good, and not an imitation, so in a neutral sense) if you know what I mean...
@DEMONSPEED2112 well said, van halen came into a completly new height of greatness with the talents of sammy.... dlr was a wreck at that time , great performer but not a lot of talent
@DEMONSPEED2112 Right on the spot, bro! Sammy wah the best thing that ever happened to VH since Eddie took a guitar :) quality of the songs went skyhigh! I've been in VH tribute band for years, we played every song from both DLR and Sammy-era and man the overall feeling of the sammy-era songs was a bit...tighter i'd say. Too bad Ray Daniels screwed this band..And Sammy is still amazing and blows up everytim he hits the stage! Vh ruld, i agree.
Not a big fan of Hagar! BUT...
This song is so much fun to play!
