But I have always liked Sammy A LOT both before and during his years with Van Halen. They were both awesome, imo, as the lead singer for Van Halen. Sammy though had a better solo career than David.

      A huge part of it was the change Eddie himself wanted to make, that began on the 1984 album. A change by the way a lot of the OG fans resented, and unfairly blamed on Sammy. Eddie's songwriting skills soared on 1984 and onwards, he became a much more focused writer, and so he needed more space than the earlier VH rock'n'roll offered. (I also suspect hit records became his new project, after successfully achieving guitar god status). Crediting/blaming Sammy for the sharp turn VH took is to underestimate Eddie: Eddie knew what he wanted, and he made sure he got it. (Even when the whole band and the producer disagreed, as was the case on 1984). And Sammy never had the kind of success he found in Van Halen prior to joining them. I'm sure he brought his thing, but VH would have gone that route anyway.

    This album was released right near the end of my junior year of high school. I had bought a 1975 Plymouth Fury GT 440-6. Bought it at a police auction. Straight out of Texas. Took a month to redo the entire sound system. My car was the most popular at parties, man. I put 2 5K Watt Power Amps under my dash. As my lifelong friend said, "We have ourselves a soundstage in a Texas Interceptor." Having all of those Money Babies dancing around the car was friggin awesome, man. I had my trunk sprayed down with a coating and we'd provide the Jungle Juice in Coolers and beers in the ices we poured all over the inside. Such good memories!
    I am so stoked you folks finally did some tunes off of 5150. This record is a road trip from start to finish. It's a damn shame y'all didn't grow up when we did and the parties we went to, live shows we tailgated at, and were able to see this band do this song live. One of the greatest thing about this song is the message. Just live life, party, have a good time, cruise, check out the ladies and dive into pools, lakes, beach parties, surf parties, you name it! This song fit every facet of what summers in the 80s was all about. 3 months of no school, no responsibilities, and just hangin out with friends. And one thing I love about this song is the 3-voice attack of Sammy, Michael, and Eddie.
    Michael Anthony to this DAY is still one of the greatest background vocalists of all-time! His register is amazing! Eddie really nails those notes as well. Go back and listen to those backing vocals, isolate your ears on them and it's a slight 3-part harmony. This song is a headbanger classic!
    Here is the official music video from Van Halen, guys. I know you've already done the reaction, but this is amazing! Wish you could have seen these guys live. One thing I always say about a band. "Best way to judge a band is what they do in the studio, can they do it onstage?"
    Summer Nights - Van Halen - 5150 - HD Remastered
    ruclips.net/video/coDVcuVoINU/видео.html
    The other thing I love to ask myself, "How deep in the set list are they when you watch them live." Factor in environment, what they're wearing onstage, etc. How the hell bands like KISS, GWAR, Slipknot, Mushroomhead, and artists like Wes Borland of Limp Bizkit; along with those Arena Metal / Black / Doom / Power Metal bands can pull off what they do in triple digit heat at music festivals proves how badass they are.
    And Van Halen does it wonderfully.
    So glad you guys got to hear this timeless GenX favorite.

    'Summer nights' was one of the 1st songs Sammy Hagar co-wrote w/ Van Halen when he auditioned for the band... He didn't think he would be joining Van Halen but after hearing their new music... working on lyrics and vocal melodies... and then, hearing the song demos, Hagar was blown away and accepted their offer to join.
    It is speculated now that original Van Halen singer David Lee Roth was unhappy w/ the band's musical direction on the '1984' album and drank to excess on that tour... As guitarist Eddie Van Halen began work on a new Van Halen album in 1985, Roth was more committed to recording cover songs for a solo EP 'Crazy from the heat'... It was released in '85 and was a hit on MTV. David Lee Roth was hoping that it would become a major Hollywood movie w/ him as the star.
    That solo EP did not sit well in the Van Halen camp... Furthermore, Roth had heard the new Van Halen music and felt that the vocals required for the album were out of his vocal range... so, he had apparently declined to work on the lyrics for the songs... According to the band, getting David Lee Roth to commit to working on a track in the studio was difficult. Every Van Halen album w/ Roth was just about a half-hour in length cos Roth wanted their records to be 'short and sweet'... Eddie Van Halen wrote 'Jump' in 1981 and Roth would not do the track until 1983 when Eddie put his foot down.
    In 1985, it was apparent that David Lee Roth was more interested in a solo & movie career... So, Van Halen reportedly fired him... Roth responded by taking Van Halen's management and crew w/ him.
    Sammy Hagar recalled getting a phone call from Eddie Van Halen about auditioning for Van Halen and was asked to come down to Eddie's 5150 studio at his home... Hagar went there and spent the weekend listening to the new music and writing lyrics and demoing the songs... He loved what he heard and signed on... The problem was that Hagar was signed to Geffen Records and was contracted w/ them. Geffen went to court against Warner Bros. Records (Van Halen's label) and settled for a portion of the royalties from the next Van Halen record '5150' and 2 more Sammy Hagar solo albums.
    The '5150' album was released in 1986 and went to #1 on the US charts without any MTV music videos... The album was also over 40 minutes in length and it sold 6 million copies in the US.
    Meanwhile, David Lee Roth formed his solo band w/ guitarist Steve Vai and released the album "Eat 'em and smile" in 1986, which sold platinum... Like his Van Halen albums, it was only a half hour in length and had 4 cover songs on it.

    Keep lobbying for VH2 “Somebody Get Me A Doctor” Such a banger!
    From one of those who did request Summer Nights while back. Also really good VanHagar tune is “Runaround” from the For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge album.

    Van Hagar also known as the Red Rocker had some big shoes to fill and he did so great álbum and song, I like for you both to check out the song for Van Hagar called Black and Blue just a suggestion you'll love it. J and Amber thank you both once again for making me relive some wonderful days back when I was younger and keeping the music alive as well

    I don't understand why so many of the early Van Halen fans, give Sammy so much shit. I grow up listening from the start of the band. I remember when I heard Eruption back in 78. I could not believe what I was hearing. I love the Roth era, but Sammy brought out the best of Eddie. Some of the stuff Eddie did with Sammy is unbelievable! And i believe he showcased the hidden talent that Mickey had, which was one of the best backup vocalist you will ever hear. I believe the difference in the Roth era and the Sammy era is, during the Roth era. It was all about Roth. In Sammy era, Sammy was all about elevating the band! Whether it's Van Halen or Van Hagar it doesn't matter to me, they we're both great. Long live the Mighty Van Halen. RIP EDDIE!

      As a VH fan from the beginning I'll tell you exactly why Sammy got so much crap, he took the blame for the more melodic, electronic sound the band took after he joined. I think Eddie already had an idea of where he wanted the band to go and Sammy was just along for the ride. VH could have easily continued with the VHI, VHII, and Women And Chilren First vein, but you could see even on the 1984 album that the band was changing. Matter of fact the change in musical direction was at least a portion of why DLR left.

  • @randomhockeyguy9149
    @randomhockeyguy9149 19 дней назад

    One of the hardest Van Halen songs to play on guitar, because of the guitar Eddie used on this song. It's called a Steinberger, and it has the ability to change the whole pitch of the guitar on the fly. Usually you would need a device called a capo to do this. Eddie used the Steinberger GL2T guitar on Summer Nights and Get Up off of 5150, and for some parts of Fire In the Hole on Van Halen 3 with Gary Cherone.
