      In the Summer of 1986, the TOP THREE albums were Van Halen's 5150, Journey's Raised On Radio, and Boston's Third Stage, and NONE of them had ONE VIDEO on MTV to release for any song on the album for that summer, breaking a trend of albums only trending with videos since 1981 when MTV premiered, and so as someone who grew up on my music on Radio, not having Cable until I was 23 in 1991 when I got my first apartment, it was great to realize quality ROCK music could crack the TOP 40 like it used to be before MTV!

Dreams made it as far as number 13 on the Billboard rock charts, but to get the full effect, watch the video done with the Blue Angels. That will surely uplift you!

    As everyone else has been stating: This is not Diamond Dave, it's Slamming Sammy Hagar, the Red Rocker. Sammy got his break working with guitarist Ronnie Montrose. Then he became a star in his own right. After Van Halen fired David Lee Roth, they invited Sammy to take the reins. Sammy was with them longer than Dave, and they had bigger hits, thanks to his songwriting. Another song like this that Amber would surely like would be "Why Can't This Be Love". After Journey, this period of Van Halen was a fave of my late wife.

    I was in the 6th grade in 1990, when I first heard Dreams which came out in 1986. My cousin was playing it in his car one day and I was ripped to bits. Couldn't understand the magic I was hearing. I fell in love with Van Halen and my cousin gave me his tape. It was the 5150 album on cassette. For the next 3 years it's all I listened to on my walkman. Once I got to high school I figured I'd listen to more of their albums. I bought FUCK and was officially hooked. All these years later, I like 5150 a little better. Then Balance came out when I was in 11th grade and it was everything I wanted. I fell in love with Van Halen and listened to them all throughout junior high and high school. 5150, FUCK and Balance. In these 6 years I discovered my other bands which would become my all time top favorites. Along with the mighty Van Halen, it's The Scorpions, Megadeth, Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, and Alice In Chains. I do love several other bands but those 5 or 6 are top. I'm sure I have a top 10. Their music means so much to me and I love them so much. When I listen to them frequently and I always find new things and new parts of a song that I end up loving so much. Well, Dreams started it all for me. 1990. 6th grade kid with a lot of imagination and genuine intrigue and wonder. After highschool I learned more about DLR and those first group of records. It was still Van Halen to me and I loved it just as much. I bought all the cd's , studied and memorized every thing and I love it all. I have favorites from both eras and even some dislikes from both. I was lucky to see them love in the early 90s. My first concert and a tremendous show.

I didn’t want to lose reception so I pulled off the freeway so I could listen to the whole thing. I bought the cassette in Huntsville before I hit the road to drive home.

    Van Hagar was certainly more melodic than when DLR was singing. I’m odd in that I like both singers. I appreciate the song structure of the later stuff and the swagger of the early stuff. I think that!s why 1984 is my favorite VH album, because it has the best of both types of songs.

      @@Spo-Dee-O-Dee This!!! I prefer and really like Sammy Hagar's solo stuff but am very meh with Van Hagar. By FAR I prefer the DLR Van Halen era. I find the Van Hagar stuff almost unlistenable for the most part and again, I like Sammy Hagar a lot...just not VHagar. That era is everything I don't like about a lot of bands and music in that time frame. I liked edgier and grittier. But that is just my tastes, not right or wrong.

      @@3toobular That's exactly my viewpoint. I didn't really start getting into Van Halen until Sammy was already in the band and I liked the music. But then as I started listening to the earlier stuff with Dave, I definitely preferred his set of songs over Sammy's. OU812 is probably my least favorite VH album, even behind VHIII with Cherone, but...I am a big fan of Sam's solo work and have seen him in concert on his own. Sam helped get the band more mainstream with what I would call more pop/"soft rock" while Dave was more dance/"hard rock." It isn't all to be blamed on Sam for going softer, either. Ed wanted to go more in this direction, more keyboards and such, which is part of what made Dave want to test the solo waters.

      1984 was Eddie and Alex taking control of the band back. Diver down was a bad album that DLR was in charge of. All he wanted to do was crappy covers and jump around. So Eddie and Alex taking control pushed DLR to start working on a solo project behind their backs. That’s why he was tossed out.

    The comments on this one are really good. The changes Sammy made to VH were great and I was fortunate to see them live at Wembley in 1993 when they did the Right Here Right Now tour. It's the best live concert experience I've ever had and is still my favourite to this day. I adore One Way to Rock from that night and you can see it live on youtube. Seeing Sammy and Eddie jam away during the solo is something I'll never forget.

  • @RaymondBCrisp
    @RaymondBCrisp Před rokem +29

    Having seen both versions play live, I can honestly say I prefer the Van Hagar version of the band. While Sammy Hagar may not have been quite the flamboyant front man that David Lee Roth was, he was a better singer and could hit notes that David Lee Roth could only 'dream' about (see what I did there?!). Sammy played a mean guitar himself, so to me that just meant a better overall total show. In fact, Sammy played several solos in concert while Eddie was playing the keyboard! The dueling guitars section between Sammy and Eddie stand out in my mind, as they climbed up into the lighting scaffolding to perform it! It was insane!!!

    With David Lee Roth you got an entertainer. 100% fire.
    The Martial Arts, the backflips. High screams, charisma, fun and sexual, booze fueled energy.
    Even at one point, Big Band showtoons. (That was an interesting phase)
    He was the original, and he was totally right for their early juvenile party years.
    With Sammy Hagar you got the inspirational songs about the power of love, the world as a whole, and even a bit of of naughty, but with more subtlety.
    They are two COMPLETELY different animals, and for MOST fans they make for a divisive finished product.
    At the end of the day, even though some fans may not like one or the other, both versions of Van Halen have something for everyone.

    This is your 1st song with Sammy Hagar as singer, he adds something so special to the mix, and the songs get more emotional and deeper.

You should try Love Comes Walking In, or the song Right Now.
