The Story Of Van Halen: The Early Days Part 3

[Sennanchie]

Interesting comment at 6:30, when Tony Codgen stated; Eddie asked me "does that fuckin' guy play the guitar". Funny why Eddie would ask that. He didn't want (or need ) someone else to play guitar in the band, let alone the man they were looking for to be their bassist. Just thought that was kind of weird he would even ask that. It just didn't make sense to me.

[jhinson411]

[marcusvan]

The BEST BAND ON THE LAND!!!! Especially in 2011!!!!!

[brandonhSd]

WTF is this? a documentary about Van Halen, and no interviews or commentary from the band members? what is this garbage?

[dokken447]

@brandonhSd ya so why u watchin it o cause u got no life

[bluegill2100]

you can tell,that sounds nothing like alexs voice.

[bluegill2100]

i love van halen but this is too phony. that is not alex van halen talking. also,no vh music

[PowerMetalEuphonist]

@bluegill2100 How can you be sure it isn't Alex talking?

[mikes51501]

@bluegill2100 that is alex dude.

[BuddyT]

Hummm........Great looking guitarist, drummer, lead singer.......chemistry for disaster for the neighborhood.

[laithlaith91]

that guy wud b surprised at just how large Dave's vocal range actually is

[Socom1969]

@flipper79able, I agree man. Hagar seemed more down to earth to me but Roth was stuck on himself. It seemed to me it was all about him and not the group just what I have heard from band members and interviews.

[rmtdrums]

Freddie Mercury pissed all over Roth: Voice, Musician, Frontman, Song Writer. Mercury owns Roth in every department.

[ozzyhead73]

@rmtdrums first of all you cant compare freddie mercury to daimond dave, theyre 2 different kinds of entertainers, where freddie had class and and an unbelievable voice, dave didnt, but he had attitude and sex appeal to the girls that freddie, cause he wasnt the best looking dude, didnt have, with dave its not about his talent as a musician but his ability to get the crowdgoing and project a serious rock god attitude! dave said it best, WE DONT WANNA CHANGE THE WORLD, WE JUST WANNA ROCK!!

[NickMilazzo668]

@rmtdrums Mercury SUCKS!

[motleycrue24]

dave best frontman ever idc what the fuck you say

[gmoneyall]

i luv this guy,guitarist from "snake",his remarks are'FUCKIN'' cool...

[coltom]

great band but man alive, could the people they interviewed for this be anymore brain dead? "dude" should cease to be in your vocabulary after you reach 25

[Gamelord804]

I cant wait thill Van Halen's new album w/ Eddies son at the bass.

[dockaiser]

They had never gone that big if Sammy Hagar had been their front man in those early days

[joeblowthehot]

whats with all this library music..why no VH music!!!

[SpiritKnob]

Was Mark Stone in the band only when they were Mammoth, or was he in VH too?

[TheBellTollsForMe]

@SpiritKnob He was in Van Halen, he played with Roth and in Hollywood... By that time they were called "Van Halen"

[lozarok]

Good Shit !!! Thanks for Posting

[SquierClassicVibe35]

hah ha they played with a band called "snatch".

[cunty64]

i wish house's n back gardens in northern ireland wer as big as the 1's in the usa so i could through parties like these. i've always grew up with that idea even tho i never knew things like this went on dave is a king sadly sammy was more of a entertainer 4 slow soppy songs, but he's still good just not as good as dave. hats off 2 both :)

[ritter89]

I completely agree with the comment about Dave's voice. Yeah, he's not the most technically proficient vocalist but this is rock music, not classical. And his voice does sound great within that context. I can't imagine a more perfect vocalist for the band during their early years

[rch9000]

@ritter89, agree 100%. I personally think people place WAY too much importance on vocal range. Having a high range doesn't necessarily make a singer good. Dave has a cool voice, end of story.

[sicksylvia]

Yeah, the Roth humor, can't touch it. Nobody like that.

[toyznstuff]

i got to see the van halen brothers at one of these block parties! & yes the police did show up.

[mellowtribe]

oh yeah i remember it was at my house!!! i let them use my car to take off from the cops!!

[ziggy72170]

Mr mellow ; I hope those Drugs your using, are for personal use only... It's quite the Dilemma isn't ,, Trying to sell without Using ....

[guitarcro]

no way!!! really?? can u tell me about it!?!?

[slpmbp7469]

Best rock band of the 80's by far. Sammy took them to a different level but Van Halen will always be Van Halen.

[joescout]

@slpmbp7469 very well put

[Flipper79able]

@slpmbp7469 Van Halen not Van Hagar......Dave rules. I probably couldn't spend more than five minutes in room with him without wanting to kill him but as far as a front man for a Rock and Roll band......no one comes close.

[storminator1969]

@slpmbp7469 HAGERS SUCKS

[masterofreality76]

@slpmbp7469 early 80s at least and late seventies, van hagar is not classic VH. but not the whole 80s id say Guns N Roses had the rest of the 80s after VanHalen had their run

[brib333]

Dave WAS great!! He is an ENBARASSMENT now!!!!

[jeffmay1]

The last tour they just did with Dave was better than anything they ever did with Sammy

[3283gieni]

thats cause hes fucked up now from all the partyin. thats what happens when u become a rockstar.

[hogger129]

Anybody know the song playing in the background at the beginning?

[geetarmikey]

Its all non van halen random riffing.

[hogger129]

What's the song playing in the background at the beginning?

[careypeak23]

no one knows. they are not popular songs, and they are not van halen songs. Its cheaper to use no name artists

[GuitarShredOlympics]

rock on!

[dg077pp]

Thanks for the videos your the greatest

[fkwtal]

[assignmentearth]
