"Love Walks In" is another banger from this album!!
Yes, please!
They did Dreams, it’s time to do more rockin! I’m recommending 5150 or Best of Both Worlds.
@@sloebone7399 Get Up.
"Right Now" is very good one! One of my favorites
Yes love walks in is my personal favorite
Sammy is in his 70 's now and still sings great.
And he doesn’t look it either , nothing it respect for him .
He's amazing, I hope I can get to the Cabo wabo cantina for his birthday bash soon
Earlier this year at 75 years young, Sammy covered his old tune This Planet's on Fire with Megadeth! Check it out
I like all 3 singers, but Sammy just brought them to such a higher level. Dave was a great showman, but Sammy was a better vocalist. He and bassist/backup vocalist Michael Anthony harmonize so well.
And Sammy could jam on the guitar 🎸 🤘🤘
VH III with Gary Cherone is a way under rated album!
Sammy is definitely the best!
My opinion Dreams is the best song on the 5150 album!
Agreed, also, GO DEVILS!
One of my favorite Van Hagar songs 🔥
This album is one banger after another. All killer, no filler! Even though I'm a Diamond Dave guy when it comes to VH, there's no denying that Sammy rocketed them into the stratosphere in a way that DLR never could've. For anyone who was around at the time, 5150 carries a lot of special memories. It was definitely *the* album of that summer. Thanks for the reaction, guys!
Love Sammy but “rocketed them into the stratosphere in a way that DLR never could’ve”???? What are you smoking?? Here’s the list of their top five selling albums…I think Diamond Dave would take exception to your naive statement!
1. 1984 (‘84)
2. Van Halen (‘78)
3. 5150 (‘86)
4. Van Halen II (‘79)
5. Diver Down (‘82)
5150 is certainly a good album BUT when you listen to Atomic Punk or MeanStreet just to name a couple of songs VH were already in the stratosphere. The Hagar era is just a different sound and imo doesn’t hold up to the DLR catalogue. Not even close.
@Paul Rodriguez I know exactly what he's saying. VH never had a #1 album with DLR. Concerts sold out in days or hours.
The albums with Sammy ALL rocketed to #1 or debuted a #1. Concerts sold out in minutes, and you better camp out at the ticket window at least the night beore if you wanted tickets.
The DLR version made more rock classic songz, but the Sammy version made more songs that appealed to a much larger audience.
No complaints about Sammy but they did become a Top 40 band with him and the hard edge was gone.
Hey, I love DLR and his VH is my preferred version of the band but, like Kurt says, Sammy brought them to a much broader audience. Whether that's good or bad, the fact is that VH gained more mainstream appeal under Sammy.
I LOVED when Sammy was the lead singer!!!
That riff, groove is ALL EDDIE. Master at work, expanding his body of work right there. Eddie went on a tear when they made the drastic change. And he never got anything but better.
My favourite opening riff to any VH song, Eddie really was the master 🎸🤘
Better than "Hot for Teacher"?
@@ashleywilliams1060 Naturally Wired from OU812, and Get Up from 5150.
This was the debut single with him as the new single. They didn't disappoint! I would check out his solo song Heavy Metal.
Actually Dreams was
@@ugaais That was probably a smart decision. To ease their way into this Monster of a song.
Super stoked that you recognized the drumming of Alex Van Halen. Everyone knows Eddie but seems to forget Alex. One of the most under rated drummers of all time. Let us not leave out Michael Anthony on base either. His base riffs set an unnoticed tone to all Van Halen music. All around greats and justifies why they are a timeless favorite.
You may want to check out some of Sammy's songs off the Standing Hampton album. That was my favorite album of his back in the day.
I know a VH song right from the first drum beat or base slap for that reason. Distinctive sound.
I agree
If you want a stellar example of Alex Van Halen's drumming at the top of his game, I suggest doing a reaction video to Hot for Teacher. The intro just by itself is worth the price of admission for both Alex and Eddie's parts. Also, reacting to the music video version is a must. It's hilarious!
@@kurtpflegl9724 those drums. Perfection.
@@ashleywilliams1060 I'm so with you!
This was the first single released from their 1986 album 5150, with Sammy Hagar as the lead singer. Eddie played a mix of synth and guitar on this song, and it's reflected throughout the album. Partial reason why it went to number one on the Billboard rock charts. The sound and energy changed, and it was good, for them and for us the listeners. Listen to Best of Both Worlds next y'all!
DLR didn't like keyboards so I love that Eddie went full force with them after he left.
You could already hear Eddie going in this direction on the 1984 album. Like you said Roth and the band kinda keep it to a minimum on that one though.
I love the straight up hard rock sound of the first two albums. The groovy sound of Fair Warning. And I also like the more commercial sounds of the Hagar era. It's all good to me.
BEST OF BOTH WORLDS was my favorite performance of the entire 5150 concert tour... saw them at the "Cow Palace" in Daly City just south of San Francisco. Glad they caught it all on video: ruclips.net/video/i0RycnGrrXs/видео.html
I remember when this was released...I liked it well enough...I was looking forward to hearing Sammy front my favorite band...but it was not the same. It was not Panama. It was not Hot for Teacher...much less Unchained or Cradle will Rock or Aint Talkin Bout Love...or..take your pick. Sammy was/ is a better singer, but not as clever or appealing as DLR. I always felt 5150 ended one band and started another..."Im walking, dont need no ride, no explanation, just wasting time...is the type of lyric that drew me to VH as a youth..or "Nobody rules these streets at nights but me"...Sammy was good , but never captured the angst of DLR... But I do love Sammy...and he can still sing, DLR can not. ..peace Brother
@Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT … I have seen it many times… I had it on VHS.. My band in High School was called “ Den of Earth “✌️✌️
5150 is one of my favorite Van Halen albums. Other than Dreams and Why Can't This be Love, I recommend Summer Nights, Best of Both Worlds, Love Walks In, and 5150.
Yes! All fantastic songs. I absolutely love Summer Nights and Love Walks in.
Love walks in is my personal favorite
Along with Van Halen, Sammy has had a banging solo career. If you liked "I Can't Drive 55," you'll probably enjoy "Red", "Three Lock Box", "There's Only One Way to Rock", and "Mas Tequila".
He was also in a band from the mid-1970s called Montrose. Their hits you should check out are "Rock Candy", "Rock the Nation", and "Bad Motor Scooter".
Don't forget Chickenfoot!
This one was released in the spring of 86, and it was on Heavy rotation on all the radio stations that whole summer - like once every hour. Some of Sammy's best vocals ever.
yep, those days...😍
Yes! Van Halen is one of my all-time favorite groups! Can't go wrong with VH (regardless of singer). Great reaction! 💖
I knew after hearing this song with Hagar on lead vocals, Van Halen was going to be awesome!
Van Halen was awesome WAY before Sammy joined.
This is my favorite Album of all time. The first song of the Van Hagar Era!! The Van Halen fans from the DLR era didnt know what to expect. Most of us stayed a ton of new fans jumped on board and the rest was history. One of the few bands to become more successful after replacing a singer!! You want bangers from this album Get up, best of both worlds, love walks in, 5150 ,good enough and since its almost here summer nights. You already did Dreams and WCTBL. The last song on the record was inside. Totally quirky but definitely worth a listen also
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love the fact that you guys enjoy so many songs from my era. I grew up in the '60s and worked as a "Car Hop," much like American Graffiti. Although that kind of romanticized it. Believe me, waiting on teenagers was horrible. No tips and each of them tried to act more obnoxious than the car next to them. I was one of the "poor" kids and had to work summers to buy school clothes. I helped my sister get a job at the Drive-In when she couldn't find a job. I guess, I was slightly obnoxious because I was trying to help her the first week. I had worked there two summers and felt I wanted to be helpful. She finally got fed up with my "help," and we argued. The cook turned us into the owner. I got a call from "Jeannie" the owner and asked to come over to meet with her. I thought, "Oh great, I helped get my sister get this job, and now I am going to be fired". I met with Jeannie, and she suggested that my sister and I not worked together. She asked me if I wanted to work in her Coffee Shop instead. Again, I immediately thought I was being punished unjustly. Now, I was not going to be with the other teenagers. "What a drag"!!! However, she offered me a little wage increase, and I reluctantly accepted. I showed up at the Coffee Shop the next day, and what a surprise. I waited on adults who had deeper pockets. Made what seemed like a fortune in tips and didn't have to put up with obnoxious teens. Never looked back.
I have a song I thought you might be interested in playing. Do you know who Kathy Mattea is? She did a song called "Knee Deep in a River and Dying of Thirst." Very insightful song. I think your fans will love it. If you love the piano, you will love this song. I think is from the '80s but it was right when I started feeling nostalgic regarding the '60s. I believe this woman doesn't get the recognition she deserves.
One of the best Van Halen's classics!!
This is one of the few times a band got a new singer and I loved the new one as much as the old.
This song always gives me goosebumps, simply because it reminds me of the first time I heard it on the jukebox in a pub I regularly frequented, one Saturday afternoon in 1986. Weird how a memory can be cemented on one single occasion that's nothing special in particular, but it stuck with me for some reason because it, 'fitted', so well. Every time I've heard it since it takes me back to that occasion.
Sammy is just so amazing on this album!!! 😍
This is one of my absolute favorites!
This whole album was quite different from their past, but such good vibes and memories of that summer in the 80s with my buddies!
Van Halen "WHEN IT'S LOVE" (original video) ❤️
❤️
This song gives me chills EVERY time 🙌
The 5150 album was special to me. Played it non stop in high school, and it was the first VH album I could play from beginning to end without skipping any songs. There are better individual songs on other albums, but I still think this was the best complete album. Every other Sammy/VH album was so-so, but this one was super.
I Can’t Drive 55- Sammy Hagar. Guys, this song helped change the speed limit if you believe that. Epic song, great song by Sammy Hagar love for you to react to it.
Two suggestions 1. If you want a charge from beginning to end "Runaround". 2. If you want something funky and TOTALLY different from anything that Van Halen has ever done "Finish What Ya Started". Both Sammy and Both excellent.
Summer Nights , same album as this one is a great summer song. Temps are going up !
Just an absolutely amazing album!
*The drums are played as always by Eddie's brother, Alex Van Halen.* 🎵🔥🥁🔥🎵🔥🔥😈🔥🔥
off that album, you have Best of Both Worlds which is a more classic sounding van halen song, then you have Love Walks In, which was the newer direction they headed off into with really strong synthesizer tracks, you will love them both
For me this is what I call a classic "Ten Second Song". These are tunes which within the first ten seconds of you hearing it you recognise it and it instantly put you in a good mood.
It definitely gets everyone’s attent10n😉👍🏻🎸🎼🎶
From this album, "Summer Nights" blew...me...away. I had a fist pump moment and was like, "YEAHHHHH!!! now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!!!! That intro is one of the best! EVH sounds like he "falls down the stairs and lands on his feet!" And he even changes key signatures right before the lyrics! What I mean is the guitar sound 'moves' up a couple of steps and changes the whole vibe of the song. Brilliant! And Sammy is on fire. BUT, you gotta check out the live version Circa 1986 (EVH undershirt). Talk about havin' fun on the clock. They got the best job ever.
I gotta say, y'all missed out, by not watching the official video fir "Dreams". They used footage of the US Navy Flight Demonstration Team, the Blue Angels. The jet stunts synched up so perfectly with the music!!
I would recommend "Best of Both Worlds" as your next romp into VH territory - one of my favorites. Also check out "Finish What Ya Started" for something a little different.
Summer Nights is a good one from this album.
Agreed. That's the one where Eddie used a Steinberger "headless" guitar with a very weird tremolo system on it.
I saw them live on this tour in Roanoke, VA on May 17th, 1986. I had been a huge VH fan since 1978 and had seen them live in 1984 with DLR, and had some reservations about Sammy but when I saw them live I was ok with it from then on. RIP EVH
Summer Nights is the best song of the 5150 album
I was a David Lee Roth fan, and was nervous to hear how Sammy was going to sound with Van Halen and what new turn the band was going to take. Boy. They did not disappoint at all!!! As a matter of fact, this became my favorite VH album along with the next album after this, OU812. Also awesome. This 5150 album ranked #1 in the month it came out in 1986. VH's first #1 ranked album in their history. This album also has great sentimental feelings for me as I was dating a very special girl back in the day. Just awesome song and album. I recommend the song Get Up next. A great rocking song to work out with.
I can't believe I'm first -- and I have nothing to say!
Actually, I was never much into Van Halen, but I liked this track a lot.
When. It’s love is amazing
"When it's love" is my favorite VH song ever!!! Then "Love comes walking in" is my 2nd favorite. ❤
@@user-or1ye3iz6d great choices!
Nothin' Beats Sammy's "Wheeeeew....It's got what it takes" at the beginning of that last chorus. He does it twice in the song. Such great energy
"Take Me Back (Deja Vu)" One of the best songs with Sammy.
My favourite song of Van Halen. Greetings from Chile🇨🇱
So glad you’re reacting to Van Halen, one of my favorite rock bands ever
🔥🔥🔥🔥 FIRE!! Sammy excelled in this great song. He's my favorite Van Halen lead singer definitely. One of my favorite songs ever and im listening to music since late 50s.
A great Van Halen song with Sammy Hager on vocals is “Top of the World.” Jay would love it because they play it at sporting events after a team wins a championship!
Really great power ballad.
I saw Van Halen live for the first time on the 5150 tour in 1986. I'm a fan of just about all the versions of VH.😊🎸👏🔥 I recommend "Inside" as another great track from this release.
This was their first release as a group with Hagar and it kickstarted the run of Seven straight #1albums. Never did that with David Lee Cloth. 😅
Yeah, it's corp. rock. I was there. I witnessed it in real time.
It was actually four number one albums namely:
5150 in 1986, OU812 in 1988, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge in 1991, and Balance in 1995. With David, they had 6 classic albums!
Cause with DLR its was not pop Rock.
More like four in a row with Sammy. Studio albums that is.
4.....
Before his solo work and before Van Halen, Sammy was singer for Montrose, and you have to hear Bad Motor Scooter. Ronnie Montrose rocks on guitar too.
And Rock Candy
A much younger Sammy Hagar was fronting Montrose. Their 1975 "Rock Candy" is a must-hear.
The whole album 5150 is a masterpiece...Not a bad song on it
This may well be my favorite Van Halen song of all time. "Love Walks In," also from this album, was an integral part of the soundtrack of my high school years.
" Love Comes Walking In " another Sammy and Eddie masterpiece.
You definitely have to check out 5150 and Summer Nights from this album!
Love Walks In, Summer Nights, Best of Both Worlds, and 5150 are all great songs of this album!
Oh man. Played this song and this album non-stop my junior yr of HS in the summer of ‘86. Brings it all back.
Awwww them Sammy years!!! BEST EVER!
I love you two ❤️ keep doing this awesome service, as a Gen Xer our music really is the best. The G.O.A.T Is gone but never forgot. RIP EVH!
If this doesn't bring back some banging memories of my graduation summer....boy did I cruise the streets on my 65 Mustang and blast this song with my best friend. I think we were the only girls in town who partied harder than the guys....LOL!!! I LOVED my rock and roll and one of the best features of my car was the Pioneer stereo system..with JVC speakers...front...back and in both doors. I played it with ALOT of bass and this was one of the best sounding songs with alot of bass. Van Halen was a BEAST!!! And EVH was the GOAT!!!
This is one of those “everyone can relate” songs. Just about everyone has had a person they were pining for, but the person just didn’t feel the same about them.
Alex Van Halen just turned 70 this week. He's the drummer.
This song is the reason I became a Van Halen fan.
The great Eddie Van Halen on keyboards and guitar creating that memorable riff
Huge hit and a great song.
I was a gigantic Van Halen fan in high school and couldn’t believe it when David Lee Roth left.
I remember exactly where I was when I heard this song for the first time. I was in my car at an intersection…I was immediately IN on Van Hagar.
Love that you youngin's listen to 80's Rock. Music was music in those days. And absolutely LOVE your wall behind you all.❤.
My favorite Hagar era Van Halen songs are: Right Now and Dreams. The video for Dreams is incredible 😱.
In all fairness, y'all should do a reaction to Live Without a Net! It is the first tour that Sammy did with Van Halen. It's the concert that featured the Eruption solo everyone reacts to. You will be blown away by the energy and music in it. To see these songs performed live without any autotune and editing is unbelievable. If you only want songs from it, I suggest 5151, Best of Both Worlds, and Summer Nights. There are several more. Oh, and definitely check out Ain't Talking Bout Love on there.
I was living in Fresno, CA when Van Halen were doing their For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge tour. I tried to get a ticket, but they sold out almost instantly. Faster than anyone else had sold out at that point, even Elvis. Apparently the guys were very appreciative, because they added a second show a day or two later.
When the second show tickets went on sale, I went down to the record store (the Ticketmaster outlet) to buy one, and the line was around the building. No ticket for me, it seemed. To cheer myself up I went to the bookstore to buy a new book. As I was opening the door I looked down and there was a little Ticketmaster sticker next to the door. I go in, and it's quiet. Nobody there except the clerk. "Umm... do you sell concert tickets?" "Yes." "Do you have any Van Halen tickets?" "Yes." "...Can I buy one?" "Yes." Still bemused, I walked out with my shiny ticket.
At the show, the band was awesome. But something unexpected... there were a lot of camera booms. Turns out they'd been filming and recording for a live DVD/CD. They said it was the end of the tour, and all that was left was Cabo, which wasn't a "work concert" for them, and they still hadn't quite got the footage they wanted. So the show I was at ended up being a large part of their live album.
One of the best overall concert experiences of my life. The only bands I've seen that did better live shows were Blue Oyster Cult, Sabaton, and Nightwish.
Love Walks In, live from New Haven CT in 1986, Eddie stayed on keyboards and Sammy played lead guitar. In my mind, this shows the evolution of Van Halen with Roth being a great rock band to Hagar and becoming a Supergroup. The band was unchained from the limits they had under the first six albums.
You gotta check out "Best of Both Worlds" also from this album. Check out the live version and you can see the chemistry they had.
I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but the Drummer of the band is Eddie's brother Alex. He is a phenomenal drummer and doesn't get enough attention.
Awesome! I saw Van Halen live in a private concert AMAZING!!
Looking back, it was smart to get Hagar as the new frontman...Now they had 2 guitarists that could both shred, so Eddie could jump over on keyboards whenever he liked knowing Sammy would keep the riff chugging. So they were able to expand thier sound, and it was all good.
Happy Mother's day Miss Amber. I hope you got all the spoils today. 😊💐🥂
Sammy had a long career way before he joined Van Halen. He's been rockin since the early 70's. The first band I remember hearing him in was Montrose. Then a great solo carrer then joined VH. Sammy's the Man! I've seen almost every tour of his since the 80's. I would have been to his earlier ones if I had been old enough to drive! Whenever he's in town(or close enough) I'm there! So check out his early stuff also.
The drummers name is Alex van Halen, one of the most prolific drummers of his time
Great album! And one of my favorite songs by them. Love Van Halen!!
You will love Ice Cream Man. And the studio version of Eruption, which the rock stations always played with You Really Got Me. Those 2 songs go together like Foreplay always gets played with Long Time. We Will Rock You always comes before We Are the Champions. Heartbreaker always gets played with Livin' Lovin' Maid. Everyone who lived through the 70s and 80s knows this.
Speaking of Eddie.. Van Halen's third lead singer Gary Cherone just dropped his sixth album with the band extreme in their first single is a dedication to Eddie. The guitarist Nuno wanted to play it for Eddie but he didn't think it was quite ready. By the time it was he passed away. Check the song out is called " Rise"
My memory of this: summer of 85 (I think)...I was a counselor at my church's summer camp...we are on the way home from a field trip. A row of us standing at the back section of the school bus, blasting this song and playing air guitar. Being stupid. Good times.
Love Sammy!! But I am a true Van Halen original lover! David Lee Roth is the voice of Van Halen to me! My first concert was 1978 when Van Halen warmed up Black Sabbath! I am a very big Sabbath fan always but Van Halen blew them away! Especially, with David flipping and his acrobatics! Eddie was incredible, Michael Anthony unreal voice and bass and Alex’s phenomenal drum playing!! Crazy good!
This song is so amazing. My Klipsh floor speakers are hitting today!
No doubt about it,
This is a great song.
Sammy's voice is Powerfull.
Sticks in your head, once you heard it.
Thanks guys, needed This.
Good musik.
😁❤👍👊
I remember this song very fondly. Everyone thought Van Halen was done without David Lee Roth. But I had hope, since I was already a fan of the "Red Rocker" Sammy Hagar. Then one day, I heard the dj on the radio say they were about to play the debut of Van Halen's first single with Sammy as the lead singer. That opening thump-thump-thump felt like my heartbeat and when Eddie came in with that riff, I knew the band was going to be just fine. Roth was good, but I'm a huge Van Hagar fan.
LOVE WALKS IN from this album is a Must Hear and WHEN IT'S LOVE from OU812!
One of my favorites from Van-Hager!!! I still do love David ❤️
Thank you so much for showcasing my cousins Eddie and Alex Van Halen.❤❤❤❤❤❤
They were absolutely amazing and I'm glad you actually did showcase Alex and his drumming because he was always overshadowed by Eddie and his guitar.
Y'all should check out "Best of Both Worlds" & "Black and Blue" - two songs with extremely catchy riffs.
I thought for the longest time the synthesizer was a guiter😊 love this song!!!!
This album is one of their best. You should do “Love Walks In” and “Summer Nights”
This is my favorite song by this band. The other is Fire In The Hole because I heard it while watching the movie Lethal Weapon 4 and it destroyed me how perfectly it was matched to the scene where a guy armed with a flamethrower was terrorizing the streets of some city. Thanks for this reaction.
Great song with a nice hook. " Right Now" is another in a similar vein. Give it a listen. EDIT: I just found your reaction to "Right Now" you did several months ago that I had liked. You guys post so much it's hard to keep track. Thanks for your hard work.
I remember the first time I listened to this after buying the brand new album on cassette. I don’t think I had heard any of the singles yet - maybe this one, if any - but I listened on my new Sony Walkman, and the first song on the album, “Good Enough,” is a blistering rock track that blew me away that first time! I cranked it up!!! And I ended up getting some really good mileage from that whole tape over the next few years. Just an awesome follow up to 1984 and a great introduction to Sammy and the new direction the band was taking!
"Van Halen" is with David. When Sammy took the helm we called them "Van Hagar." Both versions of the band are awesome in their own ways. Sammy Hagar is still rocking, but poor Roth can't sing anymore judging by his live performance during their last tour with him (I saw it at Shoreline Amphitheater in the south S.F. bay area).
They were never called Van Hagar
@@ScottStevenson-bq7tk I definitely still call that era Van Hagar.
This is one of my favorite albums. "Dreams", "Good Enough", "Why Can't This Be Love", "Love Walks In", "Get Up", "Summer Nights" all good. Sammy has some pipes. If you haven't checked out "One Way to Rock" from their 1989 Tokyo Tour you should. It was a Sammy solo but Eddie added his own twist to it, plus it was a really good live performance.
Please do “When It’s Love” and “Love Walks In”…both fantastic power ballads with Hagar singing
Thing about this album is that they wrote and recorded it completely last minute and by the seat of their pants, and still smoked about everything out there at the time.
