FOUR KEYS TO THE VAN HALEN SOUND: DIAMOND DAVE’S SCREECHING WITH WHOOPS AND HOLLERS EDDIE’S GUITAR 🎸 ALEX’S SNARE DRUM 🥁 AND MICHAEL ANTHONY’S STRATOSPHERE BACKING VOCALS!!!
VAN HALEN: I SAW ALL THE TOURS WITH ROTH FROM VAN HALEN 1 IN 1978 TO 1984 AND AGAIN IN 2013! I SAW 5150, OU812, FOR UNLAWFUL CARNAL KNOWLEDGE AND BALANCE WITH HAGAR. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER EDWARD VAN HALEN!!! RIP EDDIE
Dave was the brain behind it all..
No Dave, No Van Halen..
VAN HALEN AND MY 69 Z/28 CAMARO 😎 DAMN GOOD TIMES!!!!!!
As much as fair warning to Ed "no-one cared" it's one of their best albums and Dave was upset he lost his best friend. Incredible album though love ❤ fair warning
i think FW is hands down most often picked by the majority of VH fans as their favorite album. I can still remember getting it in like 1983 and hearing Mean Street for the first time. Just mind blowing.
@@STEVEHEROLD I super concur with you. Such a powerful guitar album, Alex showcased how good his drumming was on mean street, the guitar riff on mean street gets better everyday, lyrics were and still are dark and mysterious on that album. The tour and overall vibe with the fire gong is alien like. Couldn't agree with you more. 👏
@@STEVEHEROLD Even daves unique vocal screams were at its best and vocally on a van halen record overall on that album. 👌 just my opinion of course. Love ❤ love that album. just killer man on every level imaginable
The Album Fair Warning was and is Incredible Masterpieces ,each and most every song ! It had very dark lyrics and the guitar on Mean Street ,was and is to this day Extraordinary! WOW!!!
Yeah , Eddie really fought Ted Templeman just to keep any cover tunes out of the album . This album is when Eddie took more control of making albums .
Gotta love the Yes Man "Sauce" Sobolewski. Of course they neglect to mention Dave was the main driving force to get them signed etc.
100%. Mike has never written a song or a lyric or a riff in his life.
Don't be so unkind....Mike may not have written but his bass & voice were a critical component to the VH sound.
It was ED'S GUITAR playing that got most of the attention from Ted Templeman & Mo Austin in 1977 when they were signed. & DLR would BULLY Mike unfairly .
al has so much stuff that hopefully will be released..🙏
I hate to say this. because I love the VH brothers, but they should have went on tour with Dave that year.sounde like the brothers were more immature this time.They did the tour later anyway. It's a shame because those 2 songs were 2 of the best songs they've ever done
agree. i was all set to follow them on the road Deadhead Style if they had toured.
@@STEVEHEROLD yeah me too man and I don't even follow the grateful dead. Lol hearing them talk about it all sounds childish. They know how Dave was. He was always that way. And I would have did the dead head thing too. It would have been the best four ever. I love those 2 songs. And it was a mistake because the Gary Cherone thing didn't work. Love the brothers dearly but seems like that was on them a bit.Its a crying Shame. 2 incredible songs. simply iconic.
Uh , Ed had to have hip surgery .
@@akfreed6949 right and they went out on tour a year and half latee with a terrible new singer and horrific new album. So much for hip surgery
@@akfreed6949 bottom line, they had Dave back and they drop the ball on that. They just didn't keep him in 96,97,or 98 that's the bottom line. I've has 3 strokes dude and I f'n get shit done like a monster. Everyone and their dead grandmother wishes they kept dave a second time. Can't make excuses. They didn't keep 'em and they should have. That's the bottom line because whatever they did post Dave 1996 blew and it could have been perfection with a pulse.
EVIDENCE Doesn't lie .Go back and listen. You can't listen because there's nothing there after that. Facts.
awesome - cheers
Edward was up late in 1996, “ it takes more than one person” “what does Van Halen mean to you”
He would call in evening and talk till 4 am or later and Steve Rosen would be beeping in the call waiting. Everyone that was around back then knew Edward was on the opposite side of the clock 🕰 as they say. Love you Al and miss you guys.
Sad that it's over.
Deep love for Ed but he cracks me up when complaining about Hagars work ethic then proceeds to make 2 studio albums in the following 20 years lol.
Not sure about this interview but around this time I think Alex mentions that the 1984 Dave is not the same as the 1996 Dave and that going out on tour with him now(1996) would be ripping off the fans.
That's BS . He couldn't . He made music but with no singer . Ed always made music . Just no albums .
@@akfreed6949 You know exactly what I mean and every real VH fan was frustrated at the lack of output from Ed in that period from Cherones departments to ADKOT...14 years of squat, and I'm not including the disastrous reunion with Sammy in 03. Noodling (Ed's words for playing his guitar) is not working on an album.
What I don't like is Sammy caused the problems between himself and Ed . Ed NEVER said anything differently since the day Sammy refused to work on the greatest hits album . That's all it was . Warner Bros wanted a greatest hits album with one new song with Dave and another with Sammy . But Sam lies about it in his POS book RED . It was supposed to be about him BUT he made the book a smear campaign against the Van Halen Bros .
From an entertainment trade paper interview , Ed fought for Gary with the record company while they were making a couple songs allegedly . The record company told him the next album would have to be with Dave or Sam . Ed was going to fight them until Gary showed up to his place wearing some really tacky looking Elvis style jumpsuit . That's when the future with Gary ended .
So weird hearing mike defend eddie here
He had to defend Eddie if he wanted to stay in the band , Sammy knew that and was alright with it , he knew Mike was stuck between a rock and a hard place .
"Sauce" Sobolewski.
Dave is 10 times the lyricist, that Sam,could ever be.
Your our of your mind Sammy is very underrated he has some of the best Van Halen songs ever done under his belt.
Sam is 1000 times the singer/musician Roth could ever be.
Pro Scammy morons always say Scammy is better yet album sales will ALWAYS show Roth sold more albums .
Maybe so, but Sammy sang Dave’s song better than Dave did!
Yeah well it doesn't do the band any good when he quits and breaks up the formula.
So Sammy says he was fired and Eddie said Sammy quit. Who do you believe?
Sammy
Ed
Sammy was called on father's day 96 , they had just came off the Balance tour and Sammy had a newborn daughter he wanted to spend some time with then they had planned on making another album , Eddie wanted Sam back in the studio asap and wanted to make a best of album and Sam put his foot down and said no way . Then Eddie said you frustrate me , you never do anything we ask you to do , Sam said yeah I do then Eddie said you've always been a solo artist you might as well just go back to being one quote unquote , Sammy also went on to say when Eddie called him that morning Eddie was drunk as a skunk and wouldn't surprise me if Eddie didn't even remember calling him .
Sammy by miles, VH brothers really shit the bed and Ray Daniels destroyed a great band. Look at after what happened, all over the place, hardly any work done and they said Sammy’s work ethic sucks? Lol
@@mikes51501Ray was Rush’s manager from day one and he had no problem with Geddy, Alex and Neil. Ray did us a favor and destroyed Van Gina
Should have been…..Mitch Malloy!
Mitch is that you?
Whats up with Ed's teeth on this pic? It drives me nuts.
His teeth were always like that. Babies get teeth like that from sucking on dummies for too long. He got new teeth around 2006 and it got fixed.
Dave Roth is best described as a lounge act singer.. a cabaret type..
Plagued by a limited vocal range Ed had to write music to accommodate Dave's weaknesses.
Sammy was a professional singer with no limitations on his vocals.
Plus Sammy could play guitar.
David Lee Roth is a washed up old news wannabe Rock star..a joke.
Nah
Sammy is never mentioned in music outside of Van Halen discussions, while Dave is routinely recognized as one of the top lead singer/frontmen of all time. Sam is nothing
Roth played more guitar on VH albums than sam. Ice Cream Man, Could This Be Magic, The Full Bug - all intros by DLR.
