      35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. 36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." (John 3:35-36)

      Because most classic rock fans want to (understandably) hear the Dave-era. The only Sammy stuff that gets played with any regularity happens to be, for the most part, the big hits. The Sammy era just hasn't aged well.

      @eaaivazian Год назад

      I will say, however, that you're right about some of this song's quality. The guitar riff is killer...and this is one of Ed's most exciting solos during the Sam-era. It's great how he solos over the new riff during the solo section and then starts doubling the riff alongside the bass. Very heavy.

      @@user-xc3vl9in8v WHAT is there to say? Objective reply about why something hasn't aged well? The Dave-era stuff still sounds great... Since it's hard to be objective about something not aging well, I'll put the following to you. I play a lot of music to my students who range from 10-14. I'm not saying this is THE answer. I'm saying this is AN answer. When I play them something like AC/DC, they love it...something that old speaks to them. Either singer (though I really prefer the Bon stuff, but I think young people actually like the Brian Johnson stuff). EVERY single year, EVERY single time I've played them Dave-era Van Halen, they always say, "This is awesome. This makes me want to listen to more old music." And EVERY single time I play them something from the Sam-era, they ALWAYS have the same reaction: "This sounds stupid." "I don't like this guy's voice." "These words are really stupid." It's always the same story.
      When I talk to people my age (and I'm actually much younger than the average Dave-era fan), they will always say something like, "I go rid of BALANCE years ago" or "I didn't even put OU812 on my iTunes" or "I don't bother putting any Sam-era stuff on when I listen to Spotify." Or I hear, "Those albums, I used to listen to them in the 80s and 90s, but I don't like them anymore." I'm not saying this is across the board. I'm just saying that those Sam-era albums are not talked about anymore very much...certainly nothing like the Dave-era albums.

    • @eaaivazian
      @eaaivazian Год назад

      @@user-xc3vl9in8v You want to get all angry and say "Stupid statement" to me and all that, knock yourself out. I really don't care. If you're still pining for the Sammy Hagar days of Van Halen, all power to you. I don't hate everything on those albums. There are some good songs. But for reasons beyond objective understanding, a lot of people don't listen to those records anymore. It's just the way it is. For probably too many reasons, those albums aren't timeless.
      Honestly, one reason I don't think those albums have aged as well (besides the obvious singer-preference a lot of people have) is that Van Halen started to actually sound a lot more like other bands with those four Sammy-era albums. No one would confuse Van Halen with Def Leppard during the original era. But during the later years, it wasn't so clear cut, was it?

    Yes there will be Nothing like this kind of music 🎶 anymore.... I grow up on Van Halen... The music know really sucks.... And this is the year 2021.... I remember the good times I’ve had going to see VH in concert when everyone had a great time... and we all got along with everyone no matter what color you where. Shit that was the time.... Wish I could go back in time around 1982... I was a kid and learning to play the Drums when I was 4 years of age... I’m a Master now.... Back in the day nobody cared about politics and who was the President but at that time we had the #1 President in the world May he Rest In Peace Ronald Reagan.

    Seen Van Halen at the US Festival in 1983. Been hooked ever since. Never heard a guitar with such Clean, Crisp, Amazing Tones in those days. What song do you think Greatly exhibits his multiple Rhythm to Lead transition mastering? I listened and thought.. then realized.. all of them lol. I think "Amsterdam" does a good job of it. Eddie, I miss so much.. Your Stage Rresence, Harmonic voice and "Patented Flying Jump Kicks." Your musical talent speaks for itself. ⚡🎸

      Michael Schutten. Many people use the phrase RIP (Rest in Peace), when speaking of someone who has passed away. But the Bible tells us that those who do not know Christ has no peace. Rather, he has the wrath of God abiding on him. Jesus said,
      35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. 36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." (John 3:35-36)
      So, from what you know about Eddie Van Halen's life, why do you think he is resting in peace?
