it is amazing that such a great song is not heard throughout the LAND of america.

[monfogo]

I'm glad Sammy Hagar is there. not many people seem to remember this but he was the first person to cover a Patti Smith song. long before the 'Hip' crowd did. he covered her song 'Free Money' on his first album in 1977. if you haven't heard it just look it up here on youtube. 'Sammy Hagar Free Money'. it's pretty great. there's also a great clip of him Jamming with Elvis Costello and Jerry Garcia. so he must be a lot more open minded about other peoples music then people here are of his.

@kmel5150 By Al I meant Michael Anthony it was a typo. Sammy has no hatred for Eddie or Alex and he has insisted as much. Yes some of the stuff he wrote concerning his relationship with Ed in his book is far from flattering but he also insists that he was just as difficult to work with. Nobody was going to keep Sam away from that ceremony, no matter who went. And BTW pulling the "this discussion is over" card saying you won't reply is simply a ploy of those who know they can't win an argument.

[kmel5150]

@MackLeeGreen Considering the deep HATRED Sammy has for Eddie, it's pretty obvious. So they all decided to take the high road, cool. It's pretty easy to say " I'd love it if we could all play together " when there was a better chance at winning Powerball without buying a ticket of it happening. And by the way, who the hell is Al who went with Sam? The only Al I know of is Alex Van Halen, who was not there. This discussion is over. Feel free to respond but I am done. So long.

[MackLeeGreen]

@kmel5150 Really?? And on what basis do you know that if Ed and Alex went then Sammy and Michael wouldn't have shown?? When has either Sammy or Michael indicated that they would not show up under any circumstances?? They haven't. Hagar said he was hoping it would be a chance for all of them to perform together (including Roth). Interesting you accuse me of trying to speak for anyone when you're the one saying that you know why Sam and Al went and that they wouldn't have gone if Ed and Al had.

[kmel5150]

@MackLeeGreen Must be nice to be able to speak for everybody. And considering you responded to a comment I made 8 MONTHS AGO, you are in need of psychiatric help. I never for one second thought that David Lee Roth and Van Halen would ever reunite. And it doesn't surprise me that he didn't show up either. All I said was that Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony were there by default. Had Eddie shown up, it would have been him and Alex minus everyone else.  They went because Eddie didn't.

[MackLeeGreen]

25 years after Roth was replaced by Sammy and you Hagar haters are still bashing him. Get over it. You people need therapy. He's moved on from it why can't you. And how's that new VH album with Roth coming?? Wasn't it supposed to be out in April???? I am sure it's be here any day now. Riiiiiiight.

[MackLeeGreen]

@kmel5150 Hagar and Anthony were not "sent" by anyone. They went on their own volition. And you're a fool if you don't think the Hagar years had anything to do with why they were indcuted. If they had broke up when he left they would probably still be waiting to be inducted. You Roth-Worshipping Hagar haters are such tools. Can't you put your hatred aside even for this??

[MackLeeGreen]

@lorigrim Oh please!!! Someone always has to bash Hagar. He sounded better than most of the singers up there; certainly every bit as good as Stipe and Vedder and better than Smith and way better then Spector. Not to mention, at least he and Michael Anthony showed up unlike Van Halen brothers and the classless David Lee Roth.
