Ain't talking about..... Drugs..... 👀 Holy ****! Their manager's ****ing himself watching Sammy up there, leaning off the scaffolding like that without a safety.
great i was blessed yo seen this in there first show with sammy in bossier city.la. there forst show together . let me say hands down my fav. band it didnt matter to me sammy or dave . nobody has ever come close to these guys live . excellant performance
I love VH with Sammy and Dave both! It's crazy how important Michael Anthony was to this bands lineup and that was the absolute 1st thing that I noticed when they got Dave back in the band and came out with tattoo. You knew immediately that something was missing if you really know this group! (Nothing against Wolfgang because all he did was save DLR'S shitty vocals from sounding worse than they already did!) Craziest thing about this song is that you can research any live performances of this song and this is the best version hands down!!!
No way! Roth in his prime brought and edge and rawness to this song that Hagar lacks and overall VH lost that raw hard rock edge during Van Hagar era! Roth in his prime made Van Halen a better hard rock band...he fit the band better and it was just a better sound 😎
@@RockoVanClark Led Zeppelin and Queen were far better musicians than Van Halen. Even the Van Halen brothers would admit that. Take away Eddie's tapping (which was around long before Ed came along - heck, Ace Frehley was doing it back in 1975 using his pick) and Eddie's goofy guitar noises, and you have any average garage band guitarist. Van Halen were never that popular abroad. Look at their sales records. Even David Lee Roth said Eddie only had one guitar solo and simply used variations of it. The tapping sounds like a bunch of angry bees, and any child picking up a guitar can do it. Eddie used tricks to cover up the fact he wasn't even a good rhythm player. Eddie used tapping to carve out a career, and he was only successful because, at the time, it was a novelty. Ask anyone about Eddie's guitar playing, and immediately the tapping comes to mind. He was pretty much a one-trick pony that was hyped as the next Jimi Hendrix. Jimi would have buried Eddie. Eddie's last few tours were awful. His guitar playing had degenerated to the level of embarrassing. Just watch the many You Tube videos that prove it.
@@eduardogarelli7740 Sammy has a higher and brighter voice. And probably a better musicality, But when Roth strode the stage you couldn't take your eyes off him. He was the ultimate frontman,. Sammy is a brilliant singer and musician.
@@philster611-ih8te Well.... I´ve never seen Roth live, but I saw some vids from the 80´s. C´mon Phil, be serious.....Roth was all the time drunk or on drugs, bad jokes, bad voice, some lyrics forgotten, effeminate moves, etc. Now in his old days, I think my grandma has more energy than Roth on stage. Yeah, I love VH with Roth....but just on vinil. Anyway, just my opinion. See you Phil.
@@eduardogarelli7740 Hey its ok, all entitled to opinions. I saw VH live in the early 80s, Roth was a beast of a singer. His voice totally suited early VH and his stage presence was incredible. Early VH were more bluesy and Roths voice was perfect for their early sound. When Sammy came onboard they were more commercial sounding but lost something in their live shows. In the late 70s, early 80s many bands were effeminate, Kiss,Twisted Sister,VH etc. All wore spandex and pranced like peacocks. You had to be there. I was, wouldn't change it for a thing.
@@moncorp1 The difference between Sammy and Dave is that you don't notice Sammy, but you notice Dave. When you see VH with Sammy, you look around at the decorations, the lights, the crowd. When you see VH with Dave, you can't take your eyes off him.
@@cd6243 They were just different. Sammy brought a different sound and musicality to VH. But VH 1.0 will always be the one that was THE VH. The live show, the acrobatics, the front man you couldn't take your eyes off. The band everyone wanted to emulate. As much I respect Sammy and his style, after Roth left VH, I was less interested in them. As were many VH fans. RIP Eddie. You were the greatest.
@@Linteria I was referring to VH at their formidable peak. Yes Roth was with them from the start when they evolved from Mammoth. But their prime both creative and live was between 1979 and 1984. Before the differences started to overshadow. They were THE live band during that time.
This song is not Sammy Hagar he’s a good singer, but he is not going to put the same effort in this song as he does his songs. His songs are all about love. This song is the opposite of the things that he writes about.
This version sucks On Dave should be singing this. The VH road was already paved by the time Sam came along Sam only got to drive on the VH road in his cant drive 55 Ferrari
Matooley O'Brien Seriously? Bless your little heart LOL! DLR is a great showman, but "singer"? BWHAHAHHA. Notice how Sammy Hagar can sing any DLR VH tune, but "Diamond Dave" or whatever he calls himself, can't cover any of the later VH tunes.? Because he can't sing.
Sammy Hagar does a far better job singing Roth-era Van Halen than vice versa. One shudders to think what David Lee Roth would sound like singing "Right Now" or "Why Can't This Be Love".
Love Michael Anthony's scream
Saw this tour. Sammy's hijinks on that scaffolding during this song are the thing I remember as much as Eddie's solo.

EPIC VAN HAGAR. AUGUST 2023 SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN
was the tempo too fast? Michael Anthony scream was great.
No, you just haven’t had enough cocaine
In concerts of both eras they sang the songs with kinda fast tempo
Sammy sang it fine
🎱🎱🎱

My top 5 favorite bands of all time:
Van Halen
KISS
Aerosmith
Led Zeppelin
Queen
Only Van Halen, your another ones SUCK
@@RockoVanClark "Han" Halen? LOL! Also, you have no taste. All other 4 he mentioned ROCK!

@@sandytinky Blablabla... Stinky, understand that: Queen is music for gays and I rest my case
Sammy always looked like he was filling in for Dave.
Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,.... Hagar is better than Roth..... even doing crazy things!

Dave was pumping someone's gas for $5 during this show.
sammy smokes dave
Look at the Roth fanboys cry about Sammy singing this song better live than Dave ever could. bwahahaha

Nah
@@philster611-ih8te David is super hot 🔥 there's no comparison -- I didn't like Sammy's version of ain't talking about love

Sammy was a better singer but had a worse voice. And the difference with DLR is he's pure energy and a performer.
Through. Sammy could use more power to his voice, but Dave had more expression in his voice.
I love Van Hagar, but Sammy should have left this one alone
1.12. "Mylumir rotten to the core". WTF? Is Sammy drunk here?
Coke
EDDIE was drunk. Sammy was probably on coke.
Van Halen is only Van Halen with Sammy
Wrong
Nah the original lineup is Van Halen
Nah they became Van Hagar. Van Halen 1979 -1984 were beasts.Untouchable.
@@philster611-ih8te Roth was there from 1973-1985. 12 years vs 11 with Hagar.

Sammy can sing circles around Dave. But he could have taken this tune a bit more serious
Sammy is A real singer, I think
This song is not Sammy Hagar he’s a good singer, but he is not going to put the same effort in this song as he does his songs. His songs are all about love. This song is the opposite of the things that he writes about.
David Lee Roth ✌
This version sucks On Dave should be singing this. The VH road was already paved by the time Sam came along Sam only got to drive on the VH road in his cant drive 55 Ferrari
Sacreligious crap! Sammy has no right (and no ability) to touch the songs of Diamond Dave.
+marc80s Please. He sings it better, and is twice the stage presence.
@James Wheeler Hagar doesn't hold a candle to Roth's stage presence. Roth is the ultimate frontman except for maybe Freddie Mercury.
"Diamond" Dave was a horrible singer. I've never heard anyone in rock and roll who was flatter.
Phil H Says you, someone who is obviously on Sammy Hagar's jock. Or are you a Gary Cherone buttboy?
marc80s Neither. I just hate David Lee Roth's singing.
Absolutely SUCKS .Only David Lee Roth can sing the song right!!
Matooley O'Brien Seriously? Bless your little heart LOL! DLR is a great showman, but "singer"? BWHAHAHHA. Notice how Sammy Hagar can sing any DLR VH tune, but "Diamond Dave" or whatever he calls himself, can't cover any of the later VH tunes.? Because he can't sing.
Matooley O'Brien Check out DRL's latest version...Jimmy Kimmel live 2015...you will rescind those words trust me.
Matooley O'Brien not a fan of DLR but agree he should be singing that...
+grgoldner Exactly. DLR was pathetic.
Sammy Hagar does a far better job singing Roth-era Van Halen than vice versa. One shudders to think what David Lee Roth would sound like singing "Right Now" or "Why Can't This Be Love".
