3 yrs after EVH's death, Sammy & his management actually got Satriani, Bonham, & Anthony to go out &...salute Sammy?!! Sammy said on Stern "It's My Legacy Tour." Word for word! This is just a glorified Sammy solo tour w a few more Van Hagar tunes thrown in. No go.
Since it's "for Eddie" all the tour profits must go to some cancer charity, right? That's usually what these tribute tours are for, right? Probably not since this tour really is about Sammy
Oh and David Lee Roth as a vocalist sounded a lot cooler with 100 % swagger. Rock And Roll is about attitude and personality and David Lee Roth spilled plenty of it all over the first 6 albums. This replacement singer is still a dud.
@@almosthuman56no way Rock and roll is not about perfectionism, if you want they go to classical . Those they bash Dave are maintaining the spirit of rock
How fucking sad is Hagar telling the entire world how he keeps stalking Alex Van Halen for a relationship the latter has made clear for years he's not interested in? It's obvious Alex hates Hagar, and wants him to leave him alone. But Hagar just can't respect that. He's hung up on a brief period the Van Halen's considered him a friend in the 90's, almost THIRTY FUCKING YEARS AGO. He clearly knows no boundaries. At a certain point, you move the fuck on dude. Have some self-respect man.
I don't even think they were friends in the 90's but the money was still good so... I heard the whisper they (VH bros vs Hagar) were at each other's throats as far back as '88. F.U.C.K. took nearly 3 years to complete (Hagar's words)
Doctor, I have been waiting for your thoughts on this ever since, this tour was announced. I love how Sammy said he could only think of one guitarist (Joe Satriani) to pull off the deep cuts in the catalog. I think his regular guitarist Vic Johnson had the good taste to say “NO” to this tour. This tour should be called “The Ego Tour”
Once again, Sammy Hagar is taking advantage of the Van Halen name to promote himself as the star attraction of Van Halen. For all those people saying this guy is a great vocalist and still sounds good, well , he sounds like your average quasi rock 80s singer. Nails on a chalk board is accurate. If Alex Van Halen and David Lee Roth aren’t involved, what gives Hagar the right to promote it as Van Halen? It’s Van Hagar as usual. He’s going to sing deep Halen cuts ? No thanks ! Go home. He strategically uses Michael Anthony to leverage his career towards the Van Halen spotlight. The guy is a liar and a weasel and his fans can’t see through his B.S. ( Boring Sammy) long live Classic VH 1978- 1984 !
I'm getting really sick of these patched together bands. Whether it's a "tribute" like this or 5 dudes going out as foreigner that had nothing to do with the hits or classic albums. I really don't think there's enough good hagar era tunes they can play where people would really take this seriously as a van halen tribute
I have to disagree with you about Joe Satriani, Doc. I think 95% of his fan base are guitarists considering 90% or more of his music is instrumental. He is a shredder and all his music is geared in that direction. Maybe that's why I like him :) I am sad to see him playing with Sammy Hagar, though and we all know no one is gonna play like Eddie did. I dislike several bands you love (WASP, Cheap Trick, Abba, ...) but that's my loss, your good fortune. That's why my ears are on my head and yours are on yours LOL
I have to respectfully disagree on the Joe Satriani evaluation, sir Ralph. I saw him the summer up here in Massachusetts at our local small theater and I thought he was absolutely f'n incredible! Other than that, I thought the semi stuff was a fucking riot.😂Never been an overly big fan of vanilla Sammy. I won't be going, not for me.
Text book narcissist. He seriously said the two following quotes on Stern about his Van Halen break up. “I was innocent. They just all turned on me because I didn’t like this manager” and “I was right in end”.
@@ryanrussell9556His memoir was all “it was them not me”, whether it was Ronnie, Betsy, or Eddie….oh yeah and Rush’s manager destroyed Van Hagar (thank you Ray Danniels).
I have friends that are super excited about this tour. I don't get it. Jason Bonham seems like an ok dude, but he can't swing like Alex. Michael Anthony seems like another likable fellow and image wise he was a perfect fit for the original VH. His backing vocals are often touted as the secret weapon of the band, but Eddie also sang backing vocals. It was the mesh of those voices that worked so well and since Wolfie could also sing high, it's one reason why Mikey was out on the Dave reunion years. Like you Ralph, I've never understood Satriani's appeal either. His style of guitar just bores me. He does, also however seem like a decent guy. Then we get to Sammy whom everyone praises as sounding great at 76 years old. Well, it doesn't hurt that the songs are tuned a whole or more steps down. He can't hit the original notes for sure. Which isn't that big a deal except Sammy always acts like he's such a great singer plus lyricist. His lyrics are so crappy. Time and time again he's proved himself an ass over the years (with his autobiography ripping on Eddie as one example), yet the Samites will still flock to him. One the bright side, you'll have no dearth of material next year as this tour gets going. I also call BS on Sammy going on about them only having one rehearsal before doing all of those tracks on Stern.
@@haydenmalesky2518 Some people said Wolfie was using tapes of Michael back in 2008. I personally would have preferred Michael to have been a part of the reunion tours with Dave, but his continued friendship with Sammy didn't win him any points with the Van Halen brothers.
The closest we got to a tribute was Wolfgang playing hot for teacher at the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert. This if it comes to the uk I’ll pass.Joe is ok but no where near Eddie or Steve when it comes to stage presence
there is no difference. it's just a marketing/sales ploy. he's gonna play the same VH songs he's been playing for decades. He basically threw his guitarist, Vic Johnson, under the buss.
The worst thing that happened to the VH Brothers is when DLR pulled the rug out from under the whole band in 84 and left after the song JUMP became a smash. A narcissistic move by DLR. None of this SHI* would even be happening if DLR hadn't screwed over the whole band and left!!
I always said that Van Gina would have never happened if it wasn't for Davis Lee Roth's huge ego. So I agree 100%. And Dave left in 1985. After the 1984 tour was done for months.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the part where he invites Dave on stage, while also simultaneously bashing him. When he invites him and AVH, he says “we’ll do the old stuff if Dave wants to, whatever songs he remembers the lyrics to, we’ll do them”. It was either on Howard or Eddie Trunk that he said that. I can’t remember which one, but that was insane! The hypocrisy of claiming you don’t have a problem with Dave, and inviting him to come on stage, while bashing him?! No wonder Dave and AVH want nothing to do with him. Personally, I do enjoy a bit of the material they did with Sammy, but I think especially since EVH’s death, Sammy has shown us all publicly why they don’t want to be around him.
Years ago, Dave said on Stern that Irving Azoff brought Sam and Dave in the same room and Sammy kept muttering DLR’s name over and over,like he was being forced to be there, and Dave took that as a challenge. Had he not done that, Dave would have been cool with Hagar. For Dave not to be at the Rock Hall induction was kind of strange though.
Today, Roth accepted the offer to join in on this project. So, it is time for Alex to get on board, he picked Satch and Dave for the first try, I think he will come aboard now, just to get this done.
Sammy saw joining V.H as a Buisness Opportunity from the Get-Go. He was just working small theaters previously and was more likeable back then. I do like a few tracks when he was with the brothers but him constantly trying to throw DLR under the bus just reveals his insecurities because he KNOWS he cant compete the the Real Van Halen. Why cant he be more like Mike Reno, wear his red outfit and shut up??
Honestly, this is just pathetic. I do like Joe (who I just saw a year ago) and Mike, but they're all being assholes in basically calling this a Van Halen tribute show, while being sly with the 'Best Of Both Worlds' so Alex can't sue to stop it. It's a close to copyright violation without doing it, and the rest of the band should be ashamed for being apart of it. But hey, I guess anything for a buck for these old men that just can't let go.
You just don’t know Van halen , Van Halen had Hagar from 1985 to late nineties selling more hits than with Roth . Eddie wrote some of his best riffs with Hagar like 5150, Amsterdam , and Wired . .
This is the biggest pickle rock implosion of bordem, and annoyance of sound, and sight!!! Bring much doggy poo. In throwable bags. Can't wait to see the front row. Protectors of the pickle 🎪circus
not only would i not go see this for free, i wouldn’t go if i was paid to - MAYBE if Alex was a part of it but that will never happen bc Al clearly doesn’t want to be a part of it and who could blame him?? 😂
Eddie is dead! End of reunion. The original idea of doing one tribute show for Eddie is one thing (I wouldn't go or watch it after the fact) but to do a tour is pathetic and tacky.
True. He definitely has the little man syndrome and craves attention. It sure isn't about the money, he is worth over a 100 million bucks with mansions and Italian sports cars. The Ghost of Dave haunts him every day. @@romangarcia608
Thanx again for the Only News That Matters even if for me it doesn’t go down as easy as usual. I got my tickets and saved them to my iPhone days after the tour was announced. Until I’m proven otherwise I expect the show to be good. On the positive side, Sammy Hagar will hopefully be singing some of the Rothra because I do agree the Anthony isn’t great as a lead singer. The Roth songs that Hagar singed in the past were Unchanined, Really Got Me, Panama, Jump, Ain’t Talkin, & maybe another one. Hopefully Sammy will be singing some of those. In addition, they are going to bring in a keyboard player to play the songs with keyboard parts and also will be helping Sammy sing the tough parts. At least everything will be live which is more than you can say for many bands. Plus it’s been many, many years since there has been live keyboards for a Van Halen show. For many, many years they’ve been using tapes but now will be completely live. Thanks for reading.
Thank goodness for your video. You know that as soon as the news broke awhile back that Diamond Dave and Alex reached out to Satriani for a tribute show, it riled Hammy up. Thus, Hammy has him back, Chickenshit 2. So tired of Hammy the Red Rooster clown. Only way he stays in the news. And you're right, he's no nice guy.
Brutal! I understand the boredom factor with Joe Satriani. First of all, he is a super nice guy, so I'll get that out of the way. This is not an indictment of him as a person. That being said, he was the first "guitar hero" I ever heard that was (to my ears) a boring, mechanical mish-mash of everyone that had come before him. "Satch Boogie" was just a rip-off of Eddie and Billy Gibbons. Where was Joe in that tune? He sounded exactly like a guy that had taught guitar and never spent time on his own coming up with anything identifiable. Joe Bonamassa to me, also fits in that category. Super nice guy as well. No question about it. Satch taught a lot of guitarists to all play generically. The same thing happened in jazz and bluegrass - all the players tend to sound the same after a while. The old-school guys who pioneered the format were the originals and played with soul, because it was true self-expression. You aren't going to feel a darn thing when someone is expressing someone else's style/feelings.
So in other words: Sammy has called and left messages to Alex SIXTY TIMES over the past 5 years(one call a month) without a SINGLE CALL BACK, RESPONSE or a 3rd party message sent by Alex saying "Hey dum-dum. You're not just coincidentally missing me every time you call. I'm not coincidentally not home everytime you call. I. DO . NOT. WANT. TO. SPEAK. TO. YOU!" ? It's becoming apparent that Sammy very likely has an extra chromosome.
Nope... Ain't goin to THAT 🤨 lol.... NOW I gotta check out the Stern performance (after your review of it). WHAT I wanna know is, WHO KEEPS tellin' Sambo that he's STILL got it (CAN sing?) 😬 ESPECIALLY in these past 2 decades? 🤨🤢 ...Ohhh well, good for him (and company). He DEFINITELY NEEDS MORE 💰💰💰 as well, PLUS? "It's ALL about the FANS, maaan! I mean, HOW am I responsible for GETTING A VH reunion going anyways? Ohhh, but, yeah.. HERE ya go peoples!" 🤔 🤨 Well? WHICH is it? Ohhh the HYPOCRISY 😵💫....Thx for the hilarious video as well! ...Brings BACK LOTTA my personal "views" I HAD BACK in latter 80s, (in H.S.) early to mid 90s of the ONE and ONLY, Hammy Sagar 👍😄 Lol 🙄😒
The one time I saw part of Vangina was on the Monster’s of Rock tour. As I was leaving they broke into a sketchy version of The Who’s Won’t Get Fooled Again. I looked back and said “Correct.”
The only way i would go if Wolfgang was the guitsrist and Alex was present. Other thsn that..🖕🖕 Omg, i have to add..LMFAO with the sammi memes, especially the butt picking gorilla one.
The Worst of All Worlds: Hammy Hagar 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣This title is freaking title hilarious and sums it up perfectly. I am with you Ralph. I don't get the whole Joe thing either. Boring! And I am a guitar player. In 2018 Richie Blackmore summed up Joe's style and the others like him. I agree, for the first 3 of 4 mins I say, this is incredible. Ten after 10 mins I say, ok, it's all starting to sound the same and this is really boring. I am out!
While I can understand why you dislike Sammy, I don’t get your issue with Satriani. I have the entire Van Halen, Van Hagar, Chickenfoot and Satriani discographies and enjoy them all. On the other hand, I only know other person (other than you) that likes heavy music AND Oasis, which is a band that all heavy rockers seem to dislike (me included) except a song here and there. Go figure. The jokes were pretty funny, though. Take care, Ralph. Regards from Madrid.
Maybe Joe did learn it a minute ago , sure it wasn’t perfect and not supposed to be . Joe is his own player not a van halen tribute player . It’s his right to play the songs as he plays them not be a van halen clone which Eddie hated . Eddie would rather someone like Joe play his songs his way than copy Eddie note for note . You just don’t know Eddie’s mind set
Check the tour dates. Sammy scheduled too many dates too close together. Many two in a row then only one day off. His voice won't be able to recover. He's gonna sound strained and won't be able to hit the notes. Aerosmith/RHCP take two nights off after every gig. I don't know what Sammy was thinking. I think he's gonna have to cancel dates. I'm not hating on Sammy...I just truly believe he crammed way too many dates too close together for his voice to recover. Gonna be the next Vince Neil.
Roth Never Could sing a Hagar song; look up VH doing Montrose back before VH became big; even tuned down Roth couldn't match Hagar in singing. The Only thing Roth Ever had was his showmanship and he Stole that from BOA's lead singer Jim Dandy!!
Not for not Sammy can't sing the dlr stuff that well..think it's more about Sammy blowing his own horn..would like Alex and Wolfie to put something together for Ed
Even though I like Van Hagar.... 5th weakest link in Van Hagar was Hagar lol And he sounds terrible singing Dave's songs, especially Jump, always has lol
Ronnie Montrose hated Sammy. Eddie Van Halen hated Sammy. Alex Van Halen hates Sammy. Dave Roth hates Sammy. Bill Church hates Sammy etc. And of course Sammy always plays the victim/good guy, lies thru his fake teeth. There's a pattern here.
Listening to that Stern thing, even as a fan of Sammy, Joe was weak considering he's supposed to be top notch, joe played like an amateur, just a little better than machine gun Kelly.
All Dave VH is excellent, to me only 25 percent is good with Sammy. I do find it odd that Sam would call Alex so much. Alex probably blocked him. I would!
What's Roth gonna do? Swing his Fake Japanese Sword around on Stage?? Roth can't do his high kicks anymore and he could Never, Ever Out Sing Hagar; Even in his Prime all the Roth songs were a 1/2 step down so he could try to Croon to them!
If ppl want to pay to hear them, all good. But for me, Sammy stayed too long at the party and is now just another singer who can't sing his own songs in the original key. The band tunes down to accommodate Sammy's limited range and it sounds terrible.
I tried to give ou812 a chance today, it sucked, Eddie's playing nowhere near the Roth era albums, sounded more like solo Sammy than anything VH usual style and sound
I was wondering what u thought of Mr. Sammy Hagar saying that he want to invite Alex Van Halen and David Lee Roth on tour and glad you gave it as i thought u would man what a attention w..re hagar is oh yeah what the difference between DLR and SH David Lee Roth sing with soul Hagar sing like he begging the fans and girls to love him
Ralph, your Sammy hate and accompanying videos is beautiful artwork in itself, truly! I howled out loud laughing. Is it not crazy that we're still all bitchen about Sammy, nearly 40 after the fact? Fun, but crazy. Love ya' brother.
My God dude I haven't laughed so hard in forever. These gifs and memes are top tier. I love Van Halen with both Dave and Sammy but 1. Dave is far superior and 2. Your bashes are legit and honest and true, unlike Sammy
Sounds great, can't wait to see this!
3 yrs after EVH's death, Sammy & his management actually got Satriani, Bonham, & Anthony to go out &...salute Sammy?!! Sammy said on Stern "It's My Legacy Tour." Word for word! This is just a glorified Sammy solo tour w a few more Van Hagar tunes thrown in. No go.
WoW great point, didn’t even think of that - what a complete and utter turd that Spammy is! 💩

@@tbonemann you're right.

Those Sammy Hagar memes are hilarious LOL. Shout out to whoever took the time to make those 🤣🤣
Love it Ralph! Enjoy it every time!
Wow, you outdid yourself with the visuals, hahaha! 😂
How fucking sad is Hagar telling the entire world how he keeps stalking Alex Van Halen for a relationship the latter has made clear for years he's not interested in?

Have some self-respect man.
I don't even think they were friends in the 90's but the money was still good so... I heard the whisper they (VH bros vs Hagar) were at each other's throats as far back as '88. F.U.C.K. took nearly 3 years to complete (Hagar's words)
Doctor, I have been waiting for your thoughts on this ever since, this tour was announced. I love how Sammy said he could only think of one guitarist (Joe Satriani) to pull off the deep cuts in the catalog.

Thank goodness for your video. You know that as soon as the news broke awhile back that Diamond Dave and Alex reached out to Satriani for a tribute show, it riled Hammy up. Thus, Hammy has him back, Chickenshit 2. So tired of Hammy the Red Rooster clown. Only way he stays in the news. And you're right, he's no nice guy.
Yet now Dave is in, and with Joe being Alex's pick for that situation, I believe he jumps in also.
Brutal! I understand the boredom factor with Joe Satriani. First of all, he is a super nice guy, so I'll get that out of the way. This is not an indictment of him as a person.
That being said, he was the first "guitar hero" I ever heard that was (to my ears) a boring, mechanical mish-mash of everyone that had come before him. "Satch Boogie" was just a rip-off of Eddie and Billy Gibbons. Where was Joe in that tune? He sounded exactly like a guy that had taught guitar and never spent time on his own coming up with anything identifiable. Joe Bonamassa to me, also fits in that category. Super nice guy as well. No question about it.
Satch taught a lot of guitarists to all play generically. The same thing happened in jazz and bluegrass - all the players tend to sound the same after a while. The old-school guys who pioneered the format were the originals and played with soul, because it was true self-expression. You aren't going to feel a darn thing when someone is expressing someone else's style/feelings.
So in other words: Sammy has called and left messages to Alex SIXTY TIMES over the past 5 years(one call a month) without a SINGLE CALL BACK, RESPONSE or a 3rd party message sent by Alex saying "Hey dum-dum. You're not just coincidentally missing me every time you call. I'm not coincidentally not home everytime you call. I. DO . NOT. WANT. TO. SPEAK. TO. YOU!" ? It's becoming apparent that Sammy very likely has an extra chromosome.
I wonder if Alex will change his tune now that Roth is on board for this?
@@bradwalker2724 If he does, I hope he gives his old one to Roth. Because THAT guy and the word "tune" parted was many years ago.
Nope... Ain't goin to THAT 🤨 lol.... NOW I gotta check out the Stern performance (after your review of it). WHAT I wanna know is, WHO KEEPS tellin' Sambo that he's STILL got it (CAN sing?) 😬 ESPECIALLY in these past 2 decades? 🤨🤢 ...Ohhh well, good for him (and company). He DEFINITELY NEEDS MORE 💰💰💰 as well, PLUS? "It's ALL about the FANS, maaan! I mean, HOW am I responsible for GETTING A VH reunion going anyways? Ohhh, but, yeah.. HERE ya go peoples!" 🤔 🤨 Well? WHICH is it? Ohhh the HYPOCRISY 😵💫....Thx for the hilarious video as well! ...Brings BACK LOTTA my personal "views" I HAD BACK in latter 80s, (in H.S.) early to mid 90s of the ONE and ONLY, Hammy Sagar 👍😄 Lol 🙄😒
Go away Sammy. Chickenfoot covering Van Halen songs. Pass
"Take Me to the Top" is another good Loverboy song. Or maybe, THE other good Loverboy song lol
The one time I saw part of Vangina was on the Monster’s of Rock tour. As I was leaving they broke into a sketchy version of The Who’s Won’t Get Fooled Again. I looked back and said “Correct.”
The only way i would go if Wolfgang was the guitsrist and Alex was present. Other thsn that..🖕🖕
Omg, i have to add..LMFAO with the sammi memes, especially the butt picking gorilla one.
Edward Van Halen is Edward Van Halen. Joe Satriani is Joe Satriani. Joe Satriani is NOT filling in for Edward Van Halen. It Sounded Killer!
The Worst of All Worlds: Hammy Hagar 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣This title is freaking title hilarious and sums it up perfectly. I am with you Ralph. I don't get the whole Joe thing either. Boring! And I am a guitar player. In 2018 Richie Blackmore summed up Joe's style and the others like him. I agree, for the first 3 of 4 mins I say, this is incredible. Ten after 10 mins I say, ok, it's all starting to sound the same and this is really boring. I am out!
They do two early van halen songs it's nothing more than scam. Basically it's van Hagar era.
Sammy STNKS! That’s all folks.
Is this good or bad ? ❤
While I can understand why you dislike Sammy, I don’t get your issue with Satriani. I have the entire Van Halen, Van Hagar, Chickenfoot and Satriani discographies and enjoy them all.
On the other hand, I only know other person (other than you) that likes heavy music AND Oasis, which is a band that all heavy rockers seem to dislike (me included) except a song here and there. Go figure.
The jokes were pretty funny, though.
Take care, Ralph. Regards from Madrid.
I’m a metalhead and I think Oasis sucks of course. But I’m with Ralph when it comes to Satriani. For some reason I’ve always found him boring. 🤷🏻♂️
I have seen Joe live and his playing bores me to tears. No soul. No Feel. imo
Maybe Joe did learn it a minute ago , sure it wasn’t perfect and not supposed to be . Joe is his own player not a van halen tribute player . It’s his right to play the songs as he plays them not be a van halen clone which Eddie hated . Eddie would rather someone like Joe play his songs his way than copy Eddie note for note . You just don’t know Eddie’s mind set
If I didn't know you better, I'd think you didn't care for Hammy Sagar. 😏 You're totally right about Sammy stealing a page from the Gene & Paul show.
I would go see this, but only if they replaced Hagar with Paul Thanley of Kithhh...
Hammy Sagar !!!!
King Diamond rules !!!!
Stay heavy !!!!!!🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Check the tour dates. Sammy scheduled too many dates too close together. Many two in a row then only one day off. His voice won't be able to recover. He's gonna sound strained and won't be able to hit the notes. Aerosmith/RHCP take two nights off after every gig. I don't know what Sammy was thinking. I think he's gonna have to cancel dates. I'm not hating on Sammy...I just truly believe he crammed way too many dates too close together for his voice to recover. Gonna be the next Vince Neil.
Satriani butchered mean street
Seriously embarrassing. I was like….is he fucking serious with this? Just awful.
DLR will never have to sing a Sammy song. Yet Sammy has to sing DLR songs 😂
And the algorithms sound effect is back!!!
Roth Never Could sing a Hagar song; look up VH doing Montrose back before VH became big; even tuned down Roth couldn't match Hagar in singing.
The Only thing Roth Ever had was his showmanship and he Stole that from BOA's lead singer Jim Dandy!!

Sorry my comment triggered you
Dave is going to sing his songs on this tour, he announced today he is on board and accepted Sam and Mikes offer.
I was hoping you would comment on this lol
The Douchebag Olympics is more like it. The Best Of The Worst!😂
Sammy Hagar doesn't like MN. No concert dates here 😢😪😢
I love the pictures!😂🤣
Come on Ralph I was considering asking you to go with me.......😂😂😂
Not for not Sammy can't sing the dlr stuff that well..think it's more about Sammy blowing his own horn..would like Alex and Wolfie to put something together for Ed
Daves in!!!
Sammy's just making it worse with Al by calling him out to join in with this bs.
Ralph fucking nails it ❤ Best youtuber and dare to tells it like it is 😂
Thank you!
Even though I like Van Hagar.... 5th weakest link in Van Hagar was Hagar lol
And he sounds terrible singing Dave's songs, especially Jump, always has lol
Dude, Dave just jumped on board for this, so I am curious, you ready to see it now?
I HAVE SO WAITED FOR YOUR RESPONSE, SHMACKAMGOB!!! was not disappointed
Ronnie Montrose hated Sammy. Eddie Van Halen hated Sammy. Alex Van Halen hates Sammy. Dave Roth hates Sammy. Bill Church hates Sammy etc. And of course Sammy always plays the victim/good guy, lies thru his fake teeth. There's a pattern here.
Roth hates Sammy enough to have accepted his offer to join in on this project, today.
Listening to that Stern thing, even as a fan of Sammy, Joe was weak considering he's supposed to be top notch, joe played like an amateur, just a little better than machine gun Kelly.
ya I seen the HS show,, it sounded odd sounded weird. I understand where your coming from.
All Dave VH is excellent, to me only 25 percent is good with Sammy.
I do find it odd that Sam would call Alex so much. Alex probably blocked him. I would!
😂😂😂 @ the 30 second mark.That definitely sums up Sammy Hagar. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe Dave should do a show with them. Be funny to see him destroy Hammy on stage Live!
What's Roth gonna do? Swing his Fake Japanese Sword around on Stage??
Roth can't do his high kicks anymore and he could Never, Ever Out Sing Hagar; Even in his Prime all the Roth songs were a 1/2 step down so he could try to Croon to them!
Dave announced today he is on board and ready to do this.
Lmaoo…. Your out of your F’ing mind!!! I seen Dave 13 shows during the tour 2015…. I’d rather listen to Alvin and the chipmunks..
Ed is why I went…
Just out of curiosity i looked up tickets and the cheapest is $80! 😳😳hard pass!!
When you trash the Hagar songs you are trashing Ed and Alex because they also wrote all those songs?
I sure am. They were both neutered during the Van Gina years. No fire. Sappy songs. Van Gina as a whole sucks. Not just Sammy. All of them.
Salute from Norway and God bless Phil Lynott and Ralph i am on youre side on all that Kiss stuff / 100.000 lies
If ppl want to pay to hear them, all good. But for me, Sammy stayed too long at the party and is now just another singer who can't sing his own songs in the original key. The band tunes down to accommodate Sammy's limited range and it sounds terrible.
Scammy Hagar the Horrible
Satch is great was just unprepared he should forget it Sammy just using him and the others just to get any attention from Van Halen fans
4:48, 🤣
One of my favorites. I have an entire library of Sammy memes. I could add some to the Dr’s fine collection. I took some from his.😂
I tried to give ou812 a chance today, it sucked, Eddie's playing nowhere near the Roth era albums, sounded more like solo Sammy than anything VH usual style and sound
I always thought of Joe as the Kenny G of "shred" guitar.
Never liked his super sweet melodies.
That lineup sucks
But do you like Sammy Hagar? I'm not clear on it.
No. Actually I hate him. With every fiber of my being. Hammy Sucks.
I don't find him that bad myself. I guess he's kind of egotistical but so is Dave.@@almosthuman56
I was wondering what u thought of Mr. Sammy Hagar saying that he want to invite Alex Van Halen and David Lee Roth on tour and glad you gave it as i thought u would man what a attention w..re hagar is oh yeah what the difference between DLR and SH David Lee Roth sing with soul Hagar sing like he begging the fans and girls to love him
Ralph, your Sammy hate and accompanying videos is beautiful artwork in itself, truly! I howled out loud laughing. Is it not crazy that we're still all bitchen about Sammy, nearly 40 after the fact? Fun, but crazy. Love ya' brother.
Waaaaaaa…waaaaaaa
7 arms and sucks🤣🤣🤣
Hammy?
You speak the truth
Van Hagar, THE BEST era!!🤘🏻
Ha, gaayeeeeee!!!! 🤓
My God dude I haven't laughed so hard in forever. These gifs and memes are top tier. I love Van Halen with both Dave and Sammy but 1. Dave is far superior and 2. Your bashes are legit and honest and true, unlike Sammy
