Honestly I wasn’t a Sammy Hagar fan and I wasn’t a VanHalen fan but Sammy in VanHalen worked I loved the more melodic more musical sensibilities and the lyrical contact and with Sammy being a far superior vocalist and writer and guitarist the far exceeded my expectation and live they couldn’t be touched 🥂
Few other bands have had such an impact on Rock Music, with two different frontmen. And if not the greatest American Rock band of All-Time, certainly in the Top 3.
Oh Claudio has numbers...😊 He’s an angel always helping others. Sounds like our friend was somewhat responsible for Red not Retiring. Thank God! ❤️ That’s very cool. I can’t believe I heard those words RETIRE? No Way! 😳😂 Sammy and The Circle is still out there burning down the house! 🎶❤️ I Love this band. ❤️🎶🍾🥂🌺
no way solo sammy was as big as original VH........ I will say though I can't drive 55 was in Back to the Future II but that may have been cuz he was in VH for 3 years at that point
He's actually claiming that before he joined Van Halen, he was as big as Van Halen!!🤣 He was NOT selling out arenas two nights in a row...look at his tour dates. He was also playing to smaller audiences...while Van Halen were the kings of MTV, playing multiple nights in venues, EVERY date sold out. His VOA album from 1984 eventually sold over 1 million copies. Van Halen's 1984 is now at 15.4 million copies sold. WHY does Sammy feel the need to lie so much?
I was working in Shreveport right after the album came out. as one of the first CDs I bought...great memories.

AC/DC
@@MK356BC Right! The one and only Bon Scott. Followed by Brian Johnson in 1980.
Both david and sammy are badass van halen leads
I saw 5150 at the Cow Palace in SF , it was my second concert, they did not disappoint. Sam's energy was enough to power a rocket . Great show.
It was 1986, not 1987.
Read it more carefully. It was the first time Sammy played at that venue with VH.
1986 album was released in 86 played show the day it hit #1
@@Me-qp8vz Yeah, in 1986, not 1987.

van hagar

Yeah 1984 couldn't quite get to #1 because of a record you might have heard of called Thriller by Michael Jackson. lol

Van Halen was so much better with Sammy!
Great story, except the idea that Hagar was as big as VH before he joined VH. Nonsense.
I hate that proven liar journalist but I wanted to hear what Sammy said
