      It's a bit too high-gain for my preferences, but at least it was stripped down & more raw. I was second row from the stage, right in front of Ed at the Bonner Springs, KS show from this tour, and I was getting blasted in the face with Ed's stage volume. His sound was glorious! I was damn near giddy at how raw and punchy, how articulate it was. You could hear every scrape of every pick attack. It was back to being just a ferocious, in your face tone. I was so freaking happy...@@bls8959

    The brothers spent so much time looking for a new lead vocalist when they had Mike all along! It is a lot a work to do both so I can understand why they didn't have him full time lead vocalist. But damn Van Halen would've been one hell of a trio!

Man that must've been a whole lotta work for him to do that but he absolutely killed it though!! I could hear how it was a little bit hard for him to do both even though he pretty much killed it but I could still hear how his voice was almost wanting to give out on him by the end of the song!

      @@crazycooper1024 Yep less schmoo, more tone, i like the tone of Eddie when he was using the rack stuff, the SPX90 detune etc but gosh this 1998 tone, pure, raw, gnarly, almost straight in the head, it felt like Ed' weren't afraid of anyone, no effect, in your face tone. This era had a smell like EVH and the band were trying to channel some late 70's early energy they had and in this respect i feel Eddie did pretty well, the tone, the raw performance which contrasted with the lush performance of the Sammy era, were really there, but not much the public, i think Ed wanted more support, people went into stupid feud over Van Haggar and Van Halen debate... it was the end.

  • @sfeigh
    @sfeigh Год назад

    Whenever I watch VH clips, the first thing that comes to mind is how much Michael gave to the band. He had a great stage presence. Could sing lead, and we know about his backup vocals. They filled in the sound of the vocals during all the lead singers tenures. The second thing that comes to mind is just how disrespectful the Van Halen Brothers were towards Michael. Forcing a pay cut on him during the catastrophic Sammy Hagar reunion, including relinquishing all royalties and merchandising, but from the 1984 album forward, and limiting what he would earn from previous albums. Michael lost millions. And then Alex and Eddie fired without bothering to tell him. Adding insult to the WTF, the scrubbed Michaels's image from the official VH web-site. But there was so much backlash that they restored his images.
    Michael took the high road and did his job and never trash-talked the band or their management.

And I think that awesome 'plan' that Sammy Hagar says he's got for the "reunion" with Van Halen that he's REALLY hoping will happen is EPIC! To have David Lee Roth AND Sammy Hagar WITH Van Halen and possibly EVEN have Wolfgang play some backup guitar and Rhythm guitar in is even more EPIC!!! So bring it on Eddie!! Let's do this!!!
