Very interesting comment about Anthony's vocals, if you listen to the old demos with Gene Simmons, his voice was great, hit all the highs, and rock solid on back up vocals. Eddie could hold a note too, but Michael gave a ton of support to Dave's weaknesses.
Ed turned into a waste when Sammy finally balls'd up and left the band, and after that they haven't been the same. None of the singers can sing any of the others' music at all, the chemistry was by far the best with Hagar, you can NOT deny that or you're an idiot, the music was good with all of them except Cherone (in my OPINION) but you guys can like whatever Van Halen you want, I'm just saying it's not the same anymore and it never will be.
Sure Gary Cherone was not a good fit for the band but I do not think he did a bad job. There is just too much history on those songs with Dave or Sammy that you just cannot imagine anyone else doing a better job. I do not think David Lee Roth could sing Humans Being because this too high for him and his voice will not be able to handle it. They will always be a great band no matter who is fronting them. Bring back Michael Anthony! It is just not the same without him.
@Guitarist1972 I agree on most of what you say but I think Humans being is the only Hagar song what Roth could actually pull off. Personally I would like to see Mike Anthony ,Sammy Hagar, David Lee Roth , Eddie & Alex tour as Van Halen. I
Ed announces Mike at the end. Just how bad was their animosity? It seems like Ed needed someone to blame for his personal life issues and he couldn't do without both Sam and Dave so he kicked the dog instead? yeah yeah... I know he wanted to replace Mike since 81, but I see no real reason to boot him at this stage.
I hate the Gary era. I don't hate Gary. I just hated the fact that VH3 was a cobbled together wothless turd of an album. Balance was a great Album. I was hoping for a follow up even better. I bought VH3. Put it in my cars cd player. I was so disappointed. I throw it out the window.
Gary doesn't butcher Humans Being for one, and second this is ironically the best live version of the song I've found on YouTube. Eddie certainly is "on fire" as well!
Am I the only one who thinks that Gary is not bad? Not bad at all. He's got a good energy and a good voice. His only problem is he hasn't a very particulary timbre, unlike Roth or Hagar, who had that unique timbre. And without a very personal and recognizable timbre it must be very difficult to fit in a band like VH, because with a guitarist like Eddie you have to have a very, very personal timbre if you don't want to be covered by his guitar.
DLR is by far best frontman for VH...that being said, i love cherone and think he is a better singer/frontman than hagar or roth...it was cool seeing gary with VH, but he is magic with nuno...and VH is magic with roth, just natural and it works
Personally, I think they should have promoted Mike to singer and that would be that. The best voice they ever had is now in Chickenfoot.... and I'm not talking about Hagar.
Hey DickKuzi!!! youve finally said something halfway intelligent!! I said halfway, dont get excited!! Sorry i keep fucking your name up!! It just fits!!!!!!!!! DarthKuzi......
@DarthKazi I couldn't agree with you more. Mike was a great singer and usually wound up carrying both Dave & Sammy at a lot of shows. Why record something so high and know there's no way you going to hit thoses notes night after night . Everyone still cheats the one that should matter most. The fans! Right or wrong?
@FarmGuy4020 Search for "Somebody get me a Doctor" during their 1998 tour and there's at least 1 video of Michael singing the whole thing on lead vocals.
aaaugh Gary Cherone ?!?! what happened ?!? Do you guys remember that they offered the job to Patty Smyth ? And she turned them down !!! I think she woulda been great , . . .
Liked Cherone's voice in Extreme BUT what I never liked where his frontman antics. He just comes across really fruity in whatever he tried. This was amplified when he tried to front VH.
There's one particular moment where he bends over, doubling over, reaches his hand between his legs and grabs/slaps his own ass. WTF?!?!
True. also the songs where not very good. you can shoot Gary but you gota sink one into Eddie to, the van halen fans find it easier to simply blame gary .
I dunno...I kinda wish they were still with Hagar. Love all VH stuff but i prefer Hagar. The album after Balance with Sammy would've probably been another #1...
Van Halen 3 was a really good album released at the the wrong time with not enough support from Warner Bros. Just from a personal stand point, the album was to raw, angry and emotional for FM radio success in the late 90's. Had it come out anywhere between 86 to 93 it would have done well. I actually think its logical counterpart in the VH cannon would be Fair Warning.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Gary is twice the singer and songwriter Sammy ever will be...I wish Ed was in a better state of mind during Gary's time in the band they were onto something good...
see if eddie was playing this good during the sammy reunion of 2004, they might be making new records with Sammy again., but eddie had to go and get fucked up shit faced drunk and that totally screwed over any chance of Van Halen reuniting for good, and this most recent tour is not a reunion with DLR. it was eddies only option because he didnt want to try again with Sammy and a DLR tour would be the best way to make a quick buck. As far as Im concerned, Van Halen is dead. Gone but not forgotten.
1000% correct. No chance of ever playing with Sammy or Mike ever again. To top it off, I am sure Eddie is irritable with Sammy's success with the Cabo Wabo brand and the profits he's now realized with it all. Sammy is just as smart business-wise as he is with music.
This might very well be the dumbest statement of the year. Ed was the greatest guitar player going from the mid 70s to late 90s. He had a battle with the bottle for a few years and he's back to his old self as of early 2008, the greatest.
it wasnt that Gary was a bad singer...in fact...extremes album Pornographiti is pretty damn good...he just got fucked over because he was the 3rd man in and VH fans were gettin tired of the routine.
I liked Gary. I thought he fit the band pretty well. VH was great when I saw them in '98. It's too bad Eddie went on his little ego trip and basically ruined what was once the greatest rock band in America.
I think Gary tried too hard to be Sammy Hagar. If he had added a new element, a unique sound or anything maybe Van Halen 3 would have been a better album. As for my point of view any album that brings EVH to play the Sitar as a lead instrument is definetly flawed. However it does give us a chance to hear Eddie sing lead for once, Mike's turn anyone?
If you like this you should check out the Michael Anthony Naam jam where he performs with nuno from Extreme this very song. It rocks, check it out right here on youtube.
Mike is an excellent vocalist, but I'm sure part of the reason he didn't assume the lead vocalist role was because he's never distinguished himself writing songs or lyrics like Dave or Sammy.
Not a big fan of the cherone era, but he is better than most people give him credit for. The music was different with him. I thought it in no way compared in the slightest to anything with dave or sammy, but it wasnt complete garbage. But that is over and done. Look out for a new album with Dave, if they release one, it WILL kickass.
I've been watching VH concert videos for the last 3 hours, spanning '78-'07 and I gotta say that, on this track anyway, Mike sings better/more consistently than either Dave or Sam live. What I wanna know is, why didn't they just go 3-piece/power trio when they "parted ways" with Dave and make Mike the main singer? That could have saved us all from the mediocre singing and sappy/crappy songwriting of Sam.
I think it's because Mikes voice is so perfect for the top notes of the two and three part harmonies. He can hit the high notes full-voice while most people have to go falsetto for them. Without a lead singer, Eddie and Mike could do the two part harmonies, but there wouldn't be any more three part harmonies. But I agree with you 100%. Mike has one of the best voices in rock.
oh so that's the name you give to the VH family, Fag Van Suckin??? no. Wolfie is a great bass player, and so is MA. I'm not saying one is better than the other, just that you shouldn't dis Wolfie just bcaus hes a kid and Mike was the original. At least give Wolf some time to do the job!!!
dont worry man this guys only 22 he doesnt know about the original van halen like we do he wasnt even born yet.hes still sucking his mommys tits.hahahahahahaha!!!bring back mikie on bass wolfie is just a fat punk kid..
aaah come on people, the band is called Van Halen.... You must admit that even if it is just Van Halen with random people playing bass and drums you would still go to a concert to see him play. Van Halen is Van Halen and thats it, He is Unique and The best Guitar player ever period. Vocalist and bass you find everywhere.
Gary's the best...not a lot of lead singer/frontmen would surrender the lead vocal to another bandmate for an entire song...and I love how he runs back on stage to the "woo-woo"
This was one of the best concerts I've ever been to.
You honestly think Michael Anthony passed up an opportunity to reunite with the original line-up to play on a tour with Sammy? What are you kidding? He can play with Sammy at ANY time. Eddie kicked him out, the paranoid SOB
Right on!!! Michael Anthony took a lot of shit from the VH bros which he shouldn't have. But in the end his backing vocals are an essential part of VH and they should never have kicked him out - they should have just added Wolfie on 2nd guitar.
I seen them on this tour and Gary fit just fine!

I've been watching VH concert videos for the last 3 hours, spanning '78-'07 and I gotta say that, on this track anyway, Mike sings better/more consistently than either Dave or Sam live. What I wanna know is, why didn't they just go 3-piece/power trio when they "parted ways" with Dave and make Mike the main singer? That could have saved us all from the mediocre singing and sappy/crappy songwriting of Sam.

I think it's because Mikes voice is so perfect for the top notes of the two and three part harmonies. He can hit the high notes full-voice while most people have to go falsetto for them. Without a lead singer, Eddie and Mike could do the two part harmonies, but there wouldn't be any more three part harmonies. But I agree with you 100%. Mike has one of the best voices in rock.

Right on shodhead. Mike got the hugh voice. As Sammy said, Mike is the background vocal sound of van halen.

Gary Cherone is one atrocious singer. And kaboompoop is absolutely right about Michael Anthony. Kick Wolffag van Suckin out and let MA back in.

oh so that's the name you give to the VH family, Fag Van Suckin??? no. Wolfie is a great bass player, and so is MA. I'm not saying one is better than the other, just that you shouldn't dis Wolfie just bcaus hes a kid and Mike was the original. At least give Wolf some time to do the job!!!

Slippery timing in the solos. Not many guitarists could play around the beat like that without sounding like a mistake.

aaah come on people, the band is called Van Halen.... You must admit that even if it is just Van Halen with random people playing bass and drums you would still go to a concert to see him play. Van Halen is Van Halen and thats it, He is Unique and The best Guitar player ever period. Vocalist and bass you find everywhere.

this was NOT Van Halen! Ill agree with the bass, maybe even the drums.. But Van Halen was/IS Dave and Ed

Interesting version... specially that this is one of my overall fav VH songs.
As a Hagar era fan I can say Gary did a decent version himself, not bad!
Didn't like Eddy's version of the song though, felt like he was showboating too much

Gary's the best...not a lot of lead singer/frontmen would surrender the lead vocal to another bandmate for an entire song...and I love how he runs back on stage to the "woo-woo"
This was one of the best concerts I've ever been to.

see they really didnt need gary there, micheal sang it perfectly, they could do with just 3 memebers and people would still go watch them.

You honestly think Michael Anthony passed up an opportunity to reunite with the original line-up to play on a tour with Sammy? What are you kidding? He can play with Sammy at ANY time. Eddie kicked him out, the paranoid SOB
vhpremier 4 years ago
Right on!!! Michael Anthony took a lot of shit from the VH bros which he shouldn't have. But in the end his backing vocals are an essential part of VH and they should never have kicked him out - they should have just added Wolfie on 2nd guitar.

MA = Heart & Soul of VH. Suck without him, no matter what lineup. Damn Eddie...let the guy back in.
