Van Halen 5150 Studio Los Angeles, CA 1993-01-28 Promotion for the Live Right Here , Right Now Album Interview and 2 live songs Dreams 18:10 Won't Get Fooled Again 24:13
@Franz Fanon it started as cancer of the tongue and then rapidly spread to his whole body in a short time. He said it was because of him holding his metal guitar picks in his mouth in that spot but he also was a heavy smoker for most of his life. From what I hear he was against doing conventional medicine in his progression and relied on holistic or green recovery methods.
There are some great ones out there with talent, sadly you will never hear them because autotunes digital bullshit won the music industry. Modern pop just makes me angry, and not in a good Pantera sorta way either.
@@jomg5435Lol, its primarily all I listen to is 80s music for his very reason. But Tidal knows what I like and has been able to make some killer suggestions to me of newer bands, like Perfect Plan that are consistently amazing.
As a lifelong MIGHTY VAN HALEN FAN who has listened to them almost everyday since 1982. I was both saddened and honored That Ed passed on my 54th Birthday
Alex has ALWAYS been at the top for me...never a doubt...love my Buddy Rich.. Ringo... Charlie...etc...but for what Alex does in his vein of music he is the Solid King of rock drumming.🤠
I cant stop smiling while I watch this...I love this band so much. Dave or Sammy. It was all magic man. What is understood doesn't need to be discussed. Miss you Ed.
@@danfoss1535 Sure it can...that's what records are....Chuck Berry was sent into outer space...Sound CAN be frozen in time and that's what recording is..
Very eloquent words and 100% fact! Everytime I see a video like this (that I haven't seen before) Makes me miss him all over again!! You're right though, he left us all an incredible archive of music that will live on well after we've all gone!! RIP Eddie, thank you for everything!!
He is the master of all things time and space wise in Van Halen, and we all know he could switch to another group and be the man there too! Amazing drummer!
24:17 quite possibly the best version of We won’t get fooled again. EVH’s guitar in lieu of the synth is completely brilliant. It’s hard to outdo the original, but Ed’s ear and translation of the song is otherworldly…👏👏👏👏👏👏
Phenomenal-really put a smile on my face tonight-yeah!! Everybody kicked serious ass on it, loved Ed's synth parts, MIchael's great bass, Alex-woah, he has always been one of my favorite drummers-is killin' here! And Sammy's great vox and gets the scream at the end like Daltry. The Van Halen vibe-so nice to experience it again-very cool!
@@Marcus_C51 fully agree. When you get mind blown by watching a 30 year old video that means something amazing was happening. They pulled that off seemingly so easy. A great video treasure.
I agree with the sentiment but take it further by flat saying I like the Van Halen version best. And I love The Who version! So it takes a lot for me to say that and I’m typically anti-cover songs. But that is just special right there.
I am also anti-covers. I don't like when great bands do other people's songs. This is one of the few exceptions, pretty amazing version of Won't Get Fooled Again. I am a huge Who fan and I still love this. Let's also give Mike some props for playing Entwistle's bass line and singing at the same time. People are focused on everyone else, while Mike is killing it. Not easy bass to play.
Sammy has an incredible set of pipes man. I honestly have no idea how he did it because he’s not “head singing”, he’s really hitting those highs. Just insane. I actually appreciate that Sammy VH material much more now than I did when I was a kid. It’s heartbreaking that we lost Eddie but thank God we still have Alex, Sammy, and Michael. I feel privileged to have grown up with Eddie blaring through my speakers.
Musician and vocal coach Ken Tamplin who happens to be Sammy's cousin and is a great singer in his own right said he has no idea how Sammy has been able to maintain his voice for so many decades, because most singers who just straight up belt like Sammy usually have short careers because they end up destroying their vocal chords.
Wow! What a treasure this video is. All of them, rock GODs, Hagar is on fire, Michael is all over that base, Alex ~ wow, Alex is pure machine with his timing, speed, and rhythm, holy smokes man!! ....and Eddie! Man, Eddie just being Eddie, even when he's doing The Who he makes it his own. What a tribute! RIP Eddie Van Halen! Your sound will forever echo the halls of rock and roll!
My first concert ever was sammy hagar in detroit on his birthday and the detroit tigers were in world series game 3 that same night, when the tigers won the game he announced we just went up 3 games to 1 and we all went nuts, he was so fucked up and giving us everything he had the band quit at 3am and just left the stage and he started screaming acapella untill 4:15 am and the security and his band lifted him and dragged him off the stage i was 15yrs old and i left at 4:30am the latest i ever was out up untill then, there is audio of of it at cobo hall october 1984 but no video and i die because it was his best concert ever
Darren Thomas Agreed! He is very under rated for the signature sound that he brings to the band. I was very disappointed with his departure from the band.
I wish we could go back in time, and save Eddie from smoking and from himself. The absolute coolest band, and kick ass band, on the planet, ever. Period. RIP ELVP 🎸🎶
Yep. Smoking cigs, then dipping, then getting into meth, all while heavily drinking, is always a formula for an early grave. I'll never understand how a guy who was as genius as Eddie, couldn't understand this and got some help while he could before the health problems set in.
i cant believe how excited i was about watching something almost 30 years old. this was amazing. i remember when 5150 came out in when i was in grade school. we used to listen to it on a boom box on the bus ride to and from school. no idea how we got away with the volume at 10.
@@Scottocaster6668 They are absolutely beautiful! So many guitarists think being the fastest shredder makes the best guitarists, they play 1000mph on everything but go nowhere musically because they just want to show off like “hey look at me”! The best guitarists are guys like Eddie where they play music that fits the song that could mean no solo and no leads in the song, could mean slow one note solo or a fast shredding solo it’s not about hey look at me! And 99% of crazy technical guitar players don’t play melodically, they aren’t musical they just rip scales with absolutely no feeling.
This rendition of Van Halen should never have ended. It was an amazing fit for Sammy Hagar to join. He brought perfection to an already perfect band. RIP Ed.
@@deanladue5367 well then that gave us Van Halen III. Songs like From Afar and How Many Say I - which Gary Cherone insisted Eddie sing it. I can't see Hagar doing that and besides the two egos fought like cat and dog in the end.
I come back here at least once a month. Normally I tend to be mesmerized by Eddie and his playing, but I have been replaying Hagar’s scream for like an hour. I could listen to it for hours…
This is just pure gold. 27:59 This little section here with Eddie doing the synth part, Alex killing the drum fill and Sammy’s spot-on scream. Oh man…chills! Just look at Michael’s face during Sammy’s scream. 😂
The older i get, the more i appreciate sammys contribution to the band and the incredible catalog he helped create. His vocals really elevated VH to new heights. I prefer their cover over the Whos version lol Look up Van Halens cover of Beer drinkers and hell raisers! its incredible too... Youll thank me later hahah
While stationed in Japan in 86', like everyone could not wait for the release of 5150. Had the cassette of 5150 a month before anyone on the base. Paid way over normal price to record store owner to get a priority shipment of 5150. Made a good part of my expense back, selling copies of it on the base. Never forget the day I got it. Had people beating my barracks door down, the minute I hit the volume button. Still have the cassette today.
i was NOT a fan of VanHagar back in the day, but as i got older, i could definitely appreciate sammy's talent. i absolutely DESPISED the constant band drama and bickering that held them back from being even bigger than they already were
This is pure GOLD. If this type of material was available when I was growing up I'd still be living in my parents' basement glued to CZcams.... RIP EVH you will live on forever.
If that was a live take of a Sammy in Dreams it’s simply incredible. One of the best rock vocalists EVER! Not sure how people can even put DLR in same category.
DLR will always be the OG. Sammy has a phenomenal voice but none of the concerts VH did with Sammy could hold a candle to the DLR performances of the 70s & 80s.
When you hear great singers sing, you don't always appreciate how difficult it is for them to hit those notes. I have a new appreciation for what Sammy was saying about the high notes on "Dreams". Very impressive.
Van Halen always my favorite group since I was a little kid I can sit and listen to Van Halen in the studio all day long Eddie is just an amazing talented guitarist and everything else he is the greatest rock and roll guitarists ever Won't Get Fooled Again that was awesome Sammy Eddie Alex and Michael love you guys you guys are awesome Van Halen forever Eddie can't believe that you're gone I heard it on the radio I had to pull over because I thought I was hearing things I had to check it out on my phone I just couldn't believe it f***** up my whole day I used to mimic Eddie in my room on a guitar that's about as far as I got actually bring tears to my eyes no bulshit Eddie rest in peace man love you brother
Man all I can do is smile the entire time I watch this ! IMHO the best days of Van Halen was right at this moment in history. The 4 of them got along soooo good and had sooo much chemistry and the music off FUCK was imo the best !!!! And maybe my favorite. What I would give to get that experience as someone who played music all their lives to be able to do it at the highest level with your best friends
Eddie RIP We Love you and Miss you - These are memories!!!! such an Innovator turns a guitar into a snyth......WOW....thank you Sammy....We Love you too....
This group of musicians at that point in time were and still are the greatest rock band hands down, I honestly can't think of anyone who would even try to step to that!
The Right Here Right Now " Live " album essentially is all recorded at 5150 . They re recorded the whole thing again in the studio, Sammy flew in did one take and that's what you get.
Van Halen WAS Great and Left the mark in time . Glad to see them live in 86, ooooo What a show. Dimond dave , first 3 songs in Vancouner Canada, the crowd was screaming so loud , could barely hear the band. Total energy to the MAX. Thanks for that time boys.
Their version of "Won't get Fooled Again" is incredible. Would have been spectacular if VanHalen had recorded at least 1 album of all covers with Sammy..
Damn , it still brings a little tear to my eyes when I see Eddie play , thank you Eddie for inspiring me to pick up the guitar 40 years ago .R.I.P. Eddie, thanks for all the music you gave us , especially my generation , (a teen in the 80s) .
Wow just wow. You guys have and will always own my heart. Thank you for all the joy, memories and sharing your talents. I’m proud to have shared the planet in sync with you. EPIC
Heard about EVH DEATH 3 days ago and didn't shed a tear untill just now when he broke out into the Dreams solo... It just hit me hard... DAM IT MAN!!!.. RIP EVH 1955-2020
stellar footage, the pure joy of rockstars at work captured - literally the hour before the wheels started to come off. when I think of VH early 90s, I think of just the right mixture of fun and work ethic. living the life, getting things done
@@DMDvideo10 Absolutely. When he got to the "We'll get higher" part, while he was flashing that over bleached mouthful of chiclets, I was certain that he had to be embarrassed to see that camera rolling right in his face getting every flat note on tape! Priceless irony there when it never would "get Higher". And something tells me that all of that hugging and laughing and ass grabbing stopped the second those cameras were gone. lol
A completely different vibe with Sammy singing. The band really popped during this era. They sounded great and it shows how Michael was as intricate a part of this band as the others.
Both brothers are so talented. They left their mark on creative rock n roll music. Music creativity has become a machine now days. The folks calling the shots in mass media have gotten so afraid to take risk in order to preserve the idea that music is one of the fine arts. All about sticking to a sound formula that worked yesterday for people to tune in and listen. It's all about making the investers happy. The artistic motivation that used to be provided by big time media has left the building.
This is definitely my favorite band..god I miss Ed so much -as do all of us.I lost my little bro to cancer in 19’.. I definitely understand what Alex is going thru…that “hi Al..hug and kiss”at the beginning made me cry..I miss you Eric,Love u.
Well thank you too. My own brother and I have an interesting relationship. He’s recovering from some medical stuff and is working on getting his life back on track. I pray for him often. But we enjoy gaming online once or twice a week together.
Can we also take a moment to recognize what an excellent drummer Alex is? Dude is rock solid
Alex is nothing but a complete bad ass drummer for sure top 5.
I think it’s interesting that Ed said while he could play the drums, while Al could make the drums sing.
Why assume others dont appreciate Alex, or Mike for that matter? Best regards.
wft happened? should have been vh until the end
So underrated - he’s as good on drums as his bro is on the guitar 🎉
R.I.P Eddie Van Halen.. thank you for everything you left for us. Honored to have lived in the same time.
Godspeed.
👐💞💜💞👐
I still am having a hard time processing the fact that he's gone
Nicely said !!!
theres a couple of videos on youtube of him meeting fans and he seemed a genuine guy.
@Franz Fanon it started as cancer of the tongue and then rapidly spread to his whole body in a short time. He said it was because of him holding his metal guitar picks in his mouth in that spot but he also was a heavy smoker for most of his life. From what I hear he was against doing conventional medicine in his progression and relied on holistic or green recovery methods.
When Eddie said, “Hey, Al!!” And hugged his brother, it warmed my heart 🤗❤️🔥
@@terryd3056 Brother’s keeper ❤️
The level of talent in that room compared to bands of today, its frightening
"Have an Orange!"
There are some great ones out there with talent, sadly you will never hear them because autotunes digital bullshit won the music industry. Modern pop just makes me angry, and not in a good Pantera sorta way either.
@@lorenmorgan1931Exactly! People call me weird for liking 80's music over autotune music 😑
@@jomg5435Lol, its primarily all I listen to is 80s music for his very reason. But Tidal knows what I like and has been able to make some killer suggestions to me of newer bands, like Perfect Plan that are consistently amazing.
There’s plenty of guitar talent out there.
Sammys voice is unbelievable
Far better the Dave ever was.
They're all wasted
@@peanutbutterisfuDave was more of a showman and Sammy the clown
@@joeys5429you’re a clown jackass
@@joeys5429Clowns don’t sing like this.
Alex is a Fucking Monster on Drums....One of my favorite drummers...very underrated ..this is a crime!! RIP Eddie..you will be missed.
Alex is my favorite rock drummer. He never gets mentioned when people talk about the best drummers. Even Mike Portnoy said he was the best.
@@gtrman69777
Yes, Mike has. I asked him about that a while back. He is my neighbor here in Coopersburg, PA. I live right across the street.
As a lifelong MIGHTY VAN HALEN FAN who has listened to them almost everyday since 1982. I was both saddened and honored
That Ed passed on my 54th
Birthday
I got to tell him that in 1998 in Cleveland, Eddie was a total dick.
Alex has ALWAYS been at the top for me...never a doubt...love my Buddy Rich.. Ringo... Charlie...etc...but for what Alex does in his vein of music he is the Solid King of rock drumming.🤠
I cant stop smiling while I watch this...I love this band so much. Dave or Sammy. It was all magic man. What is understood doesn't need to be discussed. Miss you Ed.
If ever a moment could be frozen in time, this should be it. Rock Gods.
Sound can't be frozen in time
Yep 1987 to 1993 was the six year pinnacle.
The talent right here is just unreal... omg... that was unreal...I can't even imagine being this good
This footage is unbelievably great!
@@danfoss1535 Sure it can...that's what records are....Chuck Berry was sent into outer space...Sound CAN be frozen in time and that's what recording is..
Those were the days. Best band ever.
Don't be sad Edward is gone, be happy he was here and we witnessed history. RIP Edward.
Very eloquent words and 100% fact!
Everytime I see a video like this (that I haven't seen before)
Makes me miss him all over again!!
You're right though, he left us all an incredible archive of music that will live on well after we've all gone!!
RIP Eddie, thank you for everything!!
Al’s performance on “Won’t Get Fooled Again” is otherworldly. Just amazing
Alex is an outstanding drummer.
Not a big fan of Alex, but he was spot on here.
He is the master of all things time and space wise in Van Halen, and we all know he could switch to another group and be the man there too! Amazing drummer!
don't say that to a Bonham fan LOL I agree, Alex has chops and feel
Definitely has a style of his own.
Yes, very tight.
Eddie was a musical genius.
Crazy that these four imploded... so much chemistry, optimism & good juju
Alcohol and egos work every time
Indeed. So depressing & disheartening to me for so long. I'm glad Eddie & Sammy could at least make some peace at the end for Ed.
Yeah....these guys seemed to really enjoy each others company and had fun together, weird and sad how it ended.
Alex and Sammy clashed..and in the end destroyed it.
From all the evidence, the new manager and vices is what did them in
24:17 quite possibly the best version of We won’t get fooled again. EVH’s guitar in lieu of the synth is completely brilliant. It’s hard to outdo the original, but Ed’s ear and translation of the song is otherworldly…👏👏👏👏👏👏

Yes. Watch Mike at 28.30 ish. He gives Sammy a wow look.
You're right...as a singer iv was listening thinking, damn, Sammy sounds full voice through the whole song...impressive beyond measure
yea but did you ever really really feel it?

Love how excited Ed is to see his brother at
1:20
he gives him a kiss and a hug! so great to see how close they were.
I honest to god wish me and my brother had a relationship like that
@@sirpsychosecksi4953 that's why I got teary eyed when I saw them greet
I noticed that!
Hagar's range and endurance is NO JOKE!
Yep. Total pro. And they booed him at MSG!!!
Yes Endurance! I have always had range but man this guy can sing forever!!!
And ZERO originality ;)

Micheal Anthony rarely gets much credit for being a great bass player, but man that Who tune showed how good he can be.
He burned that song down man...
He gets loads of credit from people who are always saying he dosent get any credit!
Darren Thomas
Agreed! He is very under rated for the signature sound that he brings to the band. I was very disappointed with his departure from the band.
He was good at background vocals also.
Jesus fuckin christ, who gives two shits about his back up singing? All the people who dont know what a good bass player is, I guess.
Eddie is truly amazing, even his guitar adlibs are great sounding. Jam in the heavens Eddie, we miss you.
HAGAR is KING - That vocal on Dreams will stand 10/10 forever!!
Damn straight
That song is what made me watch the whole live studio session!! Can’t agree with you more my friend
Every band makes a stinker from time to time.
Seems you people enjoy Sammy!I enjoy van halen!and there's only 1 van halen!ended with 1984....
Amen.
Holy shit that Who cover was incredible ! When every member is a master of their instrument...
VAN HALEN COULD COVER ANY ROCK BAND :) REST IN PEACE EDDIE VAN HALEN
drums!!!! like kieth moon 🌙✨!!!!
@@sonicjet7759 With Sam
I like how Ed did the intro on guitar . It originally is on a synthesizer.
@@TheAgentAssassin the dude was a living legend, he played so effortlessly. RIP EVH. 🤘🏼
Alex Van Halen blows the roof off on the song, what a bad ass drummer he is, and doing a remake of arguably the greatest drummer of all time' song!
I wish we could go back in time, and save Eddie from smoking and from himself. The absolute coolest band, and kick ass band, on the planet, ever. Period. RIP ELVP 🎸🎶
Yep. Smoking cigs, then dipping, then getting into meth, all while heavily drinking, is always a formula for an early grave. I'll never understand how a guy who was as genius as Eddie, couldn't understand this and got some help while he could before the health problems set in.

Freaking excellent. Every bit of it. I feel absolutely blessed to have lived the same era as Edward Van Halen.
I love this! Back when they were happy. And these guys sound awesome. Fucking Eddie! He makes it look so easy. Love Van Halen!
While stationed in Japan in 86', like everyone could not wait for the release of 5150. Had the cassette of 5150 a month before anyone on the base.

I love the smirk on Eddie's face when he plays a great riff. He's saying I'm playing shit no one else can😂
i was NOT a fan of VanHagar back in the day, but as i got older, i could definitely appreciate sammy's talent. i absolutely DESPISED the constant band drama and bickering that held them back from being even bigger than they already were
I hated that David Lee Roth squeal and high kick crap! His voice sucked compared to Sammy. Roth was also an extremely rude and narcissistic turd!
Thanks for the memories Ed. Rest in peace.
RIP Eddie , there will never be another like you, my prayers to the family.
This is pure GOLD. If this type of material was available when I was growing up I'd still be living in my parents' basement glued to CZcams....
RIP EVH you will live on forever.
that's insane that they are that good and precise live, pure excitement once they started playing
How amazing must it have been to be in a successful band with your brother for so long... and how heartbreaking to lose it. I can't imagine.
One of my favorite Sam Halen/Van Hagar Albums. 5150, I was in Germany in "86
If that was a live take of a Sammy in Dreams it’s simply incredible. One of the best rock vocalists EVER! Not sure how people can even put DLR in same category.
DLR was great in the 70s and early 80s. by 87 or so his voice was done.
Ya facts I would never pay now a days to go hear dlr like I wound Sammy. I like that Sammy was a good businessman!
DLR will always be the OG. Sammy has a phenomenal voice but none of the concerts VH did with Sammy could hold a candle to the DLR performances of the 70s & 80s.
Totally agree David was a much better performer for sure !
@@brandoncook8975 not so the 90s dlr band cd ed said dave finally captured the van halen
Vibe on that cd.

Damn, I miss Eddie! The world is a more empty place without him. But I am so happy to have gotten to see this old piece of history.
Me too.... I miss all 4 of these guys together. They were all at their best together.
Man that WHO cover was fire 🔥🤘
Unbelievable. So tight. That’s constant practice. Big respect👍
Great version of Wont get fooled again ... Eddie just doing magic ... and Sammy
Love that they play still covers despite their EXTENSIVE catalog!
I heard stories of early VH grinding out the clubs playing covers. They still got it ,this version was epic.
It's probably a sort of tribute to bands they love.. Even famous musicians have favorite bands.. ;)
Man all I can do is smile the entire time I watch this ! IMHO the best days of Van Halen was right at this moment in history. The 4 of them got along soooo good and had sooo much chemistry and the music off FUCK was imo the best !!!!
And maybe my favorite.
What I would give to get that experience as someone who played music all their lives to be able to do it at the highest level with your best friends
Genius 😢 this tone and how he switches between rhythm and lead all that harmonics, phrasing, effects effortless....
Sammy almost singing Dreams like the studio version! Incredible
Eddie RIP We Love you and Miss you - These are memories!!!! such an Innovator turns a guitar into a snyth......WOW....thank you Sammy....We Love you too....
This group of musicians at that point in time were and still are the greatest rock band hands down, I honestly can't think of anyone who would even try to step to that!
Great moment of one of the greatest band. There is a joy and synergy in Van Halen's work from this period.
Sammy's live vocals just sound so incredible. The band was so consistently good when playing live during this lineup.
You can feel the love between these guys throughout the entire video awesome
This gets better as every decade ticks by.
These guys (the mighty Van Halen) are just screwing around here and sound better that 99% of the "bands" today!
It would amazing if they could make an album of these studio sessions! Incredible band.
The Right Here Right Now " Live " album essentially is all recorded at 5150 .
They re recorded the whole thing again in the studio, Sammy flew in did one take and that's what you get.
Such an awesome version of Dreams! My favorite Van Hagar song!
Van Halen WAS Great and Left the mark in time . Glad to see them live in 86, ooooo What a show. Dimond dave , first 3 songs in Vancouner Canada, the crowd was screaming so loud , could barely hear the band. Total energy to the MAX. Thanks for that time boys.
***I think you got the year wrong Bro...Sammy was with them by then.***
Their version of "Won't get Fooled Again" is incredible. Would have been spectacular if VanHalen had recorded at least 1 album of all covers with Sammy..
I love both sammy and david.......I think most van halen fans like both.......
Oh man... The sound of a real Rock band...!! ❤❤👍
lov it - thanks 4 sharing !!!
What a treat!!! Thanks for Posting😊
When they broke into Dreams, goosebumps all over!
LOVE this video! what a cover of wont get fooled again!
Thank goodness for the video team on this ...
Damn , it still brings a little tear to my eyes when I see Eddie play , thank you Eddie for inspiring me to pick up the guitar 40 years ago .R.I.P. Eddie, thanks for all the music you gave us , especially my generation , (a teen in the 80s) .
Excuse me while I put my face back on, because VH blew it completely off with that cover of The Who. Holy shit. That was amazing. Pure gold.
The cover of Won't Get Fooled Again may be the single coolest thing on the internet.
So spontaneous and great fun! Tnx for posting this!
this is emotional ...the drums, vocals...the perfect rock guitar and that bass on point, this band will always be my fav hard rock band of all time
that cover of the who was more than awesome
You always hear about the Dave years or the Sammy years, but nobody ever mentions the Gary months.
..or the Mitch week
Yes to both
Or Eddie or his brother any more
hahaha
🤣🤣🤣
Wow just wow. You guys have and will always own my heart. Thank you for all the joy, memories and sharing your talents. I’m proud to have shared the planet in sync with you. EPIC
greatest version of Won't Get Fooled Again ever
Heard about EVH DEATH 3 days ago and didn't shed a tear untill just now when he broke out into the Dreams solo... It just hit me hard... DAM IT MAN!!!..
RIP EVH 1955-2020
RIP
Sucks, he's gone 😓
Listen kid. I truly believe you have more reasons to shed tears being you can't spell. Until is spelled with one L.

Going around correcting typos on CZcams.. Go get a fucking life.
Love that snare snap! RIP EVH.
stellar footage, the pure joy of rockstars at work captured - literally the hour before the wheels started to come off. when I think of VH early 90s, I think of just the right mixture of fun and work ethic. living the life, getting things done
Don't even know how I ended up seeing this video, but so grateful. Too many words. Thank you. Love you all.
Nice studio
When Van Halen Was Great !!!! Too Bad It Will Never Be Again...
J...
I like Sammy as a solo artist more than Sammy with VH. Even on this Higher track his high notes are flat and screechy....
This is Van Hagar in their prime
@Will E. Fisturgash there was no Van Hagar then, there was only Van Halen
@Will E. Fisturgash You mean when they had a singer that wasn't remotely capable of singing something like this? LOL
@@DMDvideo10 Absolutely. When he got to the "We'll get higher" part, while he was flashing that over bleached mouthful of chiclets, I was certain that he had to be embarrassed to see that camera rolling right in his face getting every flat note on tape! Priceless irony there when it never would "get Higher".
And something tells me that all of that hugging and laughing and ass grabbing stopped the second those cameras were gone. lol
My favorite band of all time.
It's sooooo beautiful!! I always cry when i hear this song!
A completely different vibe with Sammy singing.
The band really popped during this era. They sounded great and it shows how Michael was as intricate a part of this band as the others.
0:33 “Safety of the Past”
“There’s safety in the past because it cannot be changed. There’s comfort.”
That’s some deep stuff by Alex!
Sammy wrote a song for Chickenfoot....Future is in the past with Satch laying down a funk groove that is just tasty!
Our illusion of the past can be shattered with new revelations.
Both brothers are so talented. They left their mark on creative rock n roll music. Music creativity has become a machine now days. The folks calling the shots in mass media have gotten so afraid to take risk in order to preserve the idea that music is one of the fine arts. All about sticking to a sound formula that worked yesterday for people to tune in and listen. It's all about making the investers happy. The artistic motivation that used to be provided by big time media has left the building.
Muchas Gracias from Pittsburgh.
Kick Ass Band right there folks.....
This is definitely my favorite band..god I miss Ed so much -as do all of us.I lost my little bro to cancer in 19’.. I definitely understand what Alex is going thru…that “hi Al..hug and kiss”at the beginning made me cry..I miss you Eric,Love u.
Sorry to hear about your brother. I hope you’re doing well.
@@blakestone75 thanks , nice of you to say that….hope all is well in your camp too 😉
Well thank you too. My own brother and I have an interesting relationship. He’s recovering from some medical stuff and is working on getting his life back on track. I pray for him often. But we enjoy gaming online once or twice a week together.
This is great. Thanks for the memories Eddie and everyone.
Great post, perfect end to a day at work.
