The truth is always good to face. It's bad enough Eddie's douche-ness was tolerated so thoroughly all the time he was alive, now you want everyone to pretend he was a saint? When Randy Rhoads died, all the musicians had a sympathetic quote to say about it in the subsequent month's Guitar Player Magazine. Everyone had something nice to say about it - except Eddie the douche, of course. Eddie said "He (Randy) did me to the bone, God rest his soul". Yep, he was that much a POS and that jealous of Randy Rhoads, who was very innovative and new. I'm not saying we should drag Eddie through the mud but rather he was a great landmark guitar player in the late 70s but got pathologically full of himself and on drugs and never developed significantly for 40 years into the future as a result.
I've been a van halen fan since I was 12 years old, I'm now almost 51 years old their music is timeless and i love both the DLR years and Sammy hagar every one is entitled to their own opinion, but for me they're both great 🤟 EVH
All he does is talk about VH. He had a great run, but enough already. He shouldn't have put Ed's personal business in his book either. It was in terrible taste. He wonders why Alex wants nothing to do with him.
Sammy hager you are great. And you wouldn't have had your second coming without Eddie Van halen. He Was completely original and was an awesome star.We will never forget him and his band with David Roth.And you. No one wants to hear dirt about him who fucking cares
This is why Alex hates you and tryed to have tribute concert with DLR and Jason Newsted of all people.Alex silence isn't about book.Your book sealed the deal
Um for some of what I have read , Sammy is a legend as much as van Halen , even back in Montrose. Yes Dave and Eddie and Micheal and Alex are as well but don't you dare forget that Sammy , the freaking red rocker is as much a legend as the rest of all van Halen members as well . And I'm also including Gary because extreme are also amazing .
I remember Eddie at some awards saying he owes it all to his son to keep him sober and from then on Eddie was a sober dude. I wish he would have lived longer😢
Michael has always taken the high road. I know Eddie is a perfectionist but when you cut out one of your people that made you who you are, it's tough to forgive 😔
Why do you think Eddie Alex and wolfie have nothing to do with Sammy... What happens in the locker room should always stay in the locker room period!!!!
VH, like all bands, are a family first. All familes fight amongst themselves and a pecking order is established. I think Ed was the spoiled baby- sibling at home when he was a kid, and it carried over into VH with Alex ever-the-protector of him. Add to that his guitar-skill status, and you have a bit of a brat at times. But I loved Ed. He really had a heart of gold that few got to see; he was a family man - just a regular guy at the end of the day, plus a tremendous father. He did the best he could, and his whole world was Wolf. Based on Wolf's personality and musicianship, I'd say Ed was a very successful dad. He would want to be remembered by that fact FIRST.
This “documentary” is silly. They referred to David Lee Roth as the “led” singer not lead singer. Then at 11:59 the middle pic is Robert Plant not DLR.
The bottom line is, Eddie finally beat his demons down because of his son Wolfgang! After that he just wanted to live out his life no matter what is background was
I will never understand why we're supposed to stop giving HONEST answers about people after they die, separate the art from the artist. Some of the greatest things ever created were created by complete and utter pr*cks.
The fact that the guy narrating this sounds like someone in a 1950s soap commercial sort of perfectly illustrates how much of the information in these Van Halen history videos is just bullshit pulled out of someone's ass.
Nice documentary jackass... Eddie was a revolutionary guitar player? I never knew that. Thanx a bunch. Why do you sound like the Court TV narrator for shows like ", Murderous Affairs"
Let’s not forget that Van Halen was in trouble so they reached out Sammy Hagar who literally just finished a long worldwide tour on his own. Yes Hagar was selling out shows on his own but since opportunity knocked he answered and answered did he because in my opinion the best Van Halen years were with Hagar. David Lee Roth’s live vocals were TERRIBLE he was more of a showman but Sammy Hagar had it all.
Nothing new here, I'm gonna just skip these stupid videos that make you think they have some new news but it's always the same old shit. Let VH rest in peace, their work stands on it's own, that's enough
Eddie was an a****** bottom line. Eddie want to do a bunch of greatest hits album and Sammy believe that to be more for a washed-up band and he believed they had a lot more potential
BS Mike made mega millions all the years he got 1/4th royalties on the original VH catalogue - 20 million sales of VH1 alone - Mike was given an ultimatum by the brothers to not do The Other Half tour with Sammy who slammed Ed’s addictions in his tell all book - nice friend - mike chose to work with Sammy so he made his choice too
@@scottyjordan3036 Dude, people were jusr as fked up back then! There just weren't cell phone cameras all around to film everything for you to get triggered over! Were you even born back then?! 😂
Im sick of this band and wish they would go away for good the drama is real because its still going on....and drama sucks i will say anyone who married Valerie and ended up in the bathroom puking on his wedding night is a loser extroidinaire😂😂😂
@@AlexRodriguez-hl1vu ……..I’m with you. VH with Roth, I grew up on that. I can’t tell you how many Friday and Saturday nights we blasted their music. I stayed with them during Hagar’s time because the music was great. That being said, I took off the rose tinted glasses, so many still have on about them, and see them for what they are.
Why are people surprised That Ed wanted to play with his son.Ed looked to get rid of Mike multiple times. Granted Mike was awesome and Ed had some jealousy over not getting credit for background vocals.But never had problem with Wolf in band.only reason ADKOTruth happened
Lol needs money? Have you heard how much he sold his tequila business for?? Maybe you should research that..Not to mention his new tequila Santo brand and his club Cabo wabo..Sammy don't need money what he wants is one last tour so he will be remembered..I do agree though that he is using Eddies songs to make money off of.He wrote the lyrics but Eddie wrote the music.
Mike Sablowski didn’t write songs and you spent too much time talking about him & totally over dramatized his pay cut and importance within the band (anybody could have been the bass player in VH Basically this video is quite stupid . who wrote it AI VH the og band is the greatest hard rock band ever DLR best frontman ever EVH is The king of guitar AVH is one of the best rock drummers Spammy is a blabbermouth gossip that won’t shut up talking about his time with the brothers
Van Halen is no more, let it be, there music will live on forever, we don’t need to know dirt on these legends, enough .
I do. Lighten up.
@@shawnjohnson6311 legends of rock 👍
Dave or the grave! Spammy SUCKS!!!!
Van halen music will live on forever and so will the memories too💯

I love Van Halen with all singers. Yes it is a shame how they played Mike Anthony. That bass playing and vocals was absolutely a contribution.

I agree both are good in a different way but i can’t complain I love the group period I even like Van Halen 111 the guitar playing is good on it
Nobody cares about the truth anymore because it hurts their feelings. I say fuck your feelings and let the truth be told.

Bravo
@@mr.timebombman2230 ..nor wolfie
I tied to like VanHagar. I just never could get into it.
Same here. I liked it somewhat for a moment but nothing beats the original.
Oh, You’re so chic..
It’s Sam Halen
OMG!!! Let it go!! You lived the dream pal that most musicians will never live, be thankful for that moment in time, be thankful that you are blessed.
Dave was diamond Dave now he looks and sings like CUBIC ZERCONIA
@@jimmierodriguez2609 Dave was an awesome part of the multi platinum, 2 diamond selling album record setting original lineup
Sammy hager you are great. And you wouldn't have had your second coming without Eddie Van halen. He Was completely original and was an awesome star.We will never forget him and his band with David Roth.And you. No one wants to hear dirt about him who fucking cares
Eddie and Dave were fans of Montrose when Sammy was in Montrose.
And Dave had to sing Sammy lyrics on stage, before VH became famous...That's probably why he can't stand him 🐨🐷
That said , this video doesn't bring anything...💩
Don't agree with talking shit on someone after they are dead they aren't here to defend themselves get over yourself Sammy you were just okay...
This is why Alex hates you and tryed to have tribute concert with DLR and Jason Newsted of all people.Alex silence isn't about book.Your book sealed the deal
They needed Sammy alot more than he needed them.
Um for some of what I have read , Sammy is a legend as much as van Halen , even back in Montrose.

Never gave a rats A bout Sammy.Edward was the closest thing to Mozart this generation has to offer
Been a Sammy fan since the early Montrose days and started liking VH more when Van Hagar formed.
Hagar is a legend in his own right !
At this point why are you still talking about this
Michael has always taken the high road. I know Eddie is a perfectionist but when you cut out one of your people that made you who you are, it's tough to forgive 😔
Fans and gossipers are boring. Idolizers are awful.
My God Sammy let the man rest in peace Let It Go!
Why do you think Eddie Alex and wolfie have nothing to do with Sammy... What happens in the locker room should always stay in the locker room period!!!!
I want to get em for this shyt talking
Sam Halen just wasn’t the same

Never meet your heros
So true, Andy Summers for me… Sting and Stewart both true gentlemen!!!!!
I will never understand why we're supposed to stop giving HONEST answers about people after they die, separate the art from the artist. Some of the greatest things ever created were created by complete and utter pr*cks.
Lots of misinformation in this documentary.
So true. For one, Mike did not sign away his share in the band in 1984. That’s off by about 20 years.
I’m here for the Roth fanboys
How much more do want to know about these guys?... All groups have their problems and some of them are overwhelming...
let it go and retire
The fact that the guy narrating this sounds like someone in a 1950s soap commercial sort of perfectly illustrates how much of the information in these Van Halen history videos is just bullshit pulled out of someone's ass.
OLD NEWS, PLEASE, THIS IS CLICK BAIT,.......................
Nice documentary jackass... Eddie was a revolutionary guitar player? I never knew that. Thanx a bunch. Why do you sound like the Court TV narrator for shows like ", Murderous Affairs"
Yeah, creative differences with Sammy. More like being a drunken buffoon and forgetting songs came between he and Sammy.
Eddie was over taken by greed 😢

Eddie did not invent finger tapping not one LP in my collection pleb commercial rock
"Mutley Crue"? WTF?????
Eddie was an a****** bottom line. Eddie want to do a bunch of greatest hits album and Sammy believe that to be more for a washed-up band and he believed they had a lot more potential
Eddie isn’t here to respond. Go away Sammy. The first 6 Roth albums are all that matter.
Well, considering 5150 was VH’s 1st number one album, I’d say that one matters too. 😂
BS Mike made mega millions all the years he got 1/4th royalties on the original VH catalogue - 20 million sales of VH1 alone - Mike was given an ultimatum by the brothers to not do The Other Half tour with Sammy who slammed Ed’s addictions in his tell all book - nice friend - mike chose to work with Sammy so he made his choice too
Its not shocking at all
They went from being the greatest teenage angst band of all time and turned into a FORGETABLE POP ACT. Thats why they turned on him.
"Teenage Angst"?! Dude, Grunge came 10 years later... 😆
@@Ricardo-cl3vs Yes BEFORE mental ILLNESS, Sex Drugs and R@R was teenage angst. Back when kids weren't all F-ED UP

@@Ricardo-cl3vs All you weridos have NO POINT what are you talking about, This about the difference between Real VH and sammie hager
I don't understand why VH left the Glam Rock band era. Van Hagar was Yaght Rock. I was shocked at the music style change. Dave sang better.
Dave did what???
Im sick of this band and wish they would go away for good the drama is real because its still going on....and drama sucks i will say anyone who married Valerie and ended up in the bathroom puking on his wedding night is a loser extroidinaire😂😂😂
again ? Sammy dogged Eddie in his book ... huge betrayal to Eddie who made Sammy a mega- rock star.

Nah

Nah....Sammy is an ICON and rescued Van Halen in the 80s after Dave left. I am EVH's biggest fan, but Sammy is awesome too.
I don't think Sammy needs mo ey????
Dude your sooo lame....
Sammy is no legend he stinks
Sammy actually gave me a blow job AND IT WAS NOT GOOD🎉
Who cares.😂😂😂😂😂
Spammy is not a legend. Diamond Dave and King Edward are LEGENDS kids!!!
Roth CANT SING !
Only delusional non-musicians think Roth and Steve perry were any good.
Everybody has their own opinion, but you have just flat out lost your mind. To say Sammy isn't a legend is delusional.
Word ! The first album and 2984 has always been the best of Van Halen . Nothing Hagar made with the band outsold either of the Roth era albums .
💯%
Mike Sablowski
didn’t write songs
and you spent too much time talking about him & totally over dramatized his pay cut and importance within the band (anybody could have been the bass player in VH
Basically this video is quite stupid . who wrote it AI
VH the og band is the greatest hard rock band ever
DLR best frontman ever
EVH is The king of guitar
AVH is one of the best rock drummers
Spammy is a blabbermouth gossip that won’t shut up talking about his time with the brothers
Michael Anthony was screwed.
BTB blows....
Loved this band in the early 80s but Eddie was an asshole and Dave was a Egomaniac
