Love Steve Stevens. He can play a song by any guitarist (or band) and kill it. 👍 Love Mike and Sammy too of course. They know how to have a good time. They seem not to take things too seriously. Keep keepin it real fellas. 😎
I saw Steve Stevens shred 5 feet away from me at a small rock club in Philly ages ago the time he toured for that Vince Neil solo album and he was friggin phenomenal live - what a treat to see his skills on guitar that close - Steve was a good friend of Ed’s and he has a newer Wolfgang Special guitar in gloss black that he probably got from Ed as well - he was doing some demo stuff on a video I saw using it
I saw that Vince Neil tour featuring Steve, I was at his feet a few feet away as I looked up at him, it was amazing to be that close to somebody with that kind of Talent, what a performance
Holy Crap, I wasn't prepared for this!! LOL!!! THAT KICKED ASS!!! :) Steve Stevens is an amazing player in any setting, and Sammy is the ultimate Feelgood Rock-singer! Mikey brings that great vibe and soul to it all... ...This was PERFECT!!! \m/
Had the chance to watch Steve Stevens a few nites in a row when Vince Neil's band was touring with VH. I saw Ed sitting off stage watching as well on more than one occasion. Incredible talent, ans a very nice guy.
Come on Steve Stevens is one of the best guitar players still alive...this is the guy who created top guns song... billy idols hits and if you seen him play others songs..he is amazing...
Damn! One of my favorite guitarists SS covering my favorite guitarist EVH! Sounds really good for a cell phone video. SS did an awesome job considering he doesn’t tap like Eddie. I didn’t expect it to be great.
Just found this on a lazy afternoon listening to some jams and this works just fine. These guys sound tight as fuuuuuuck, all four are playing great and Sammy still puts out the best vibe on stage for a lead singer. Thx for putting this up!!!!
....Might add Kenny is awesome drummer, even if he does make me think of Paul Shaeffer in looks....he is a major reason why John Mellencamp's albums had such a kick-ass sound to them, even though he was not hard rock....
Tony Stakis Yeah, right... except that its VanHalen music he’s doing, so he would need those guys, otherwise its just a parody like you’re seeing here.
I agree they should do Sammy's stuff and keep away from doing a "Parody" As for Steve Stevens he's not Eddie for sure! Actually no-one is.........Eddie can''t be touched on the guitar!... But he's not a guy you want to work with!
Love Sammy and Michael in whatever band their in!! VH would be kickass to see them all together again but with the drama with VH nah, their better off enjoying life and living having fun❣
Man nobody ever plays this song with the magic Ed had. It just never sounds the same or as good as when the king plays it. I’ve never heard this song done right by anyone other than Ed which makes sense
Steve Stephen’s is a God. Wow. Kudos to the giant Sammy fan next to you as well. Thought for sure the entire video was going to be him losing his mind like he was at the beginning. Nope. He shut it DOWN. Hell to the yeah! 🤘🏼
Great song and great line up, but tuned down a whole step, it just doesn’t sound right. My band plays this tune 1/2 step down and it sounds ok, but this far down in my opinion causes the tune to loose its energy. A bit surprised that this song made the cut for them to play live.
Steve Stevens = most underrated guitarist of his era
He certainly is...he's one of the Baddest Ever !
I agree 100%!!!
So true. He was in Vince Neil's band for an album and they opened for Van Halen. One of the better nights of guitar I've witnessed
What makes you believe he's underrated? Please explain.
@@gogoyubari366 the fact that he's very rarely mentioned amongst the greats of his generation.
Love how Steve does the guitar part justice here....love his guitar work
Yes and he's use a evh Wolfgang guitar instead of his knaggs guitar
Randy Rhodes,ish.
Playing the main parts accurately and also adding his own thing. NIce.
Steve awesome
Steven is hands down one of the greatest rock guitarist alive!!!👍🎸🤘
Steve Stevens great guitarist
Stevens is a legend can handle anything and rock !!!
Outstanding... I love how Steve makes this his is own without hurting the structure of the song. and Kenny Aronof.. what a beast.
And I think he still honored Eddie's parts while adding his own style.
Yeah thats the best take on Poundcake ive ever heard without copying it
💯
70 years old and can sing and move like this still lol Sammy is the greatest rocker too ever live wow!
crazy man! Sammy is 73 years old and sounds better than most artists these days
Love Steve Stevens. He can play a song by any guitarist (or band) and kill it. 👍 Love Mike and Sammy too of course. They know how to have a good time. They seem not to take things too seriously. Keep keepin it real fellas. 😎
Damn it, Steve Stevens, Sammy and Michael. Awesome. Steve fits perfect for the Style.
I couldn't agree more, Steves the perfect replacement for a Eddie style guitarist :)
And the drummer? Dude is a great drummer....lots of gigs. I just dont know his name.
@@bobabooey4537 Hes Kenny Aranoff and hes one of the best to ever bang 'em.
Steve Stevens NAILED this song!
Steve Stevens is a bad ass guitar player.
frontcentermusician underated.
Steve Stevens!!
Soooooo underrated as a guitarist
IMO
One of the top 5 guitarist out there
He is so versatile
If and when Alex and Wolfgang decide to have a tribute or series of tribute shows in memory of Eddie, I sure hope Steve Stevens is there!!!
Damn!! 70 years young and still rockin !!!!

Steve Sam and Mike should do an album together!
and kenny. beast of a drummer.
Vic is a great guitarist, but Steve Stevens would be a great replacement IF ever the need arises!!
Vic is good, not Great. Steve Stevens is Great!

God damn is there anything Steve can't play? One of my favorite guitar players. Very underrated too..
Come on Steve Stevens is one of the best guitar players still alive...this is the guy who created top guns song... billy idols hits and if you seen him play others songs..he is amazing...
Yep...anyone that knows guitar doesn't "underrate" Steve Stevens
Kenny Aranoff is by far, the most underrated drummer on the planet - the man is an absolute beast on the drums. About as good as it gets.
Yeah man he is hammering the shit out of them here
He was awesome with Mellencamp !!!
He's working with Satriani now.
Steve Stevens KILLIN' IT!!
Hell yeah Sammy and Michael Anthony, Steve Stevens man Sammy still has his voice what a night that had to have been love me some Hagar!!!!!
Oh my God ..Sammy hagar in 70 years old and voice still stabil ..so amaizing
Damn! One of my favorite guitarists SS covering my favorite guitarist EVH! Sounds really good for a cell phone video. SS did an awesome job considering he doesn’t tap like Eddie. I didn’t expect it to be great.
Just found this on a lazy afternoon listening to some jams and this works just fine. These guys sound tight as fuuuuuuck, all four are playing great and Sammy still puts out the best vibe on stage for a lead singer. Thx for putting this up!!!!
That was tight music....70 still rocks never inagine Steve steven to join in
@@mohdfadzlibinabdulkhir4018 and when youve got Kenny Aranoff and michael anthony laying it down behind you know everything is gonna be just fine.
Steve Steven's a fuckin beast on guitar!
Nice to see a Steve Stevens sighting. Legend.
Steve Stevens is just spot on,unbelievable!!!
By all accounts, Steve is one of the nicest guys in rock.
Stevens is still a badass with an Axe! They should all talk tour!
Wow, if I were Sammy, I couldn't think of any other musicians I would want with me.
....Might add Kenny is awesome drummer, even if he does make me think of Paul Shaeffer in looks....he is a major reason why John Mellencamp's albums had such a kick-ass sound to them, even though he was not hard rock....
😂
This video is pure gold, thanks for sharing. Awesome stuff 👍
Man, for a pick-up one-off performance, this is great.
Sammy sounds great! They all do...
Sammy and Michael stay away from the VH gang you don't need those guys... Love Ya!
Tony Stakis Yeah, right... except that its VanHalen music he’s doing, so he would need those guys, otherwise its just a parody like you’re seeing here.
I agree they should do Sammy's stuff and keep away from doing a "Parody"
As for Steve Stevens he's not Eddie for sure!
Actually no-one is.........Eddie can''t be touched on the guitar!... But he's not a guy you want to work with!
Richard Goldman Yeah and Sammy co-wrote the VH stuff during that era, and he certainly sings it better than Roth can. Sammy & Mike rule!
Love Sammy and Michael in whatever band their in!!
VH would be kickass to see them all together again but with the drama with VH nah, their better off enjoying life and living having fun❣
Thanks 👍😘🇸🇪
Steve Stephens.. Keyboard and guitar genius. He is an innovator like Eddie was.
Wow, Stevens does a great EVH. Wouldn't mind seeing these three do some songs with Alex Van Halen.
Maestros Gracias!
Love Steves sound !!
And Steves playing Eddies signature
always does
his actual sig or the axis...not much difference. the cut away on back and pickup selector switch placement. great pickups though
Josh M he also plays the EVH wolfgangs
mad dog both amazing guitars!
Josh M I know I own Musicman,Peavey and EVH wolfgang guitars
Effin killer man... I love Steve Stevens...
Give that open air feeling
Kinda funny Steve playing an Eddie guitar
Wouldn’t that be funny if Eddie played with Billy Idol.
Hilarious.
Then it would be, Billy who?
Never happen EGO VAN HALEN does not play on the same stage with other musicians ...other than his Fat son and Brother .....
Man nobody ever plays this song with the magic Ed had. It just never sounds the same or as good as when the king plays it. I’ve never heard this song done right by anyone other than Ed which makes sense
I dig how the guitarist is playing an EVH Axe.
Most Exelent, Mr. Hagar.
love this song
That little section @5:26 is beautiful….👏🏼
I'd like to see these guys write and album, Steve and Sammy what a match !
Love the screaning bros having fun at a concert is cool buddy
Steve you did Eddie Justice 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hell yeah he did
Great lineup. Damn.
No one and I mean no one can play this song like Alex Van Halen.......
Blows my mind that this is guy is 71!
Nobody has played Van Hagar guitar parts with Sammy this good since EVH was by his side. Steve Stevens is great as usual.
Steve killin it! I love his original part near the end too 5:25
And Sammy's response: "Was that on the record??" lol
Steve Stevens has EVH gear coming out of every note he plays now 🤟 He's got the Wolfgang USA and el34
Not EVH el34 he is playing his friedman SS
He’s always been good
Awesome sound, ya guys having tons of fun Rock On. 🙌🙌 Sammy Hagar Rocks✊ thanks for posting this, I'm play this at work Monday morning 👍🤣😅😅
Das macht viel Spaß !
Already knew it was Stevens on guitar. Biggest hair ever and keeping it going.
Steve nailed it.
Fitting that those licks are played on an EVH Music Man
That was great ss is awesome 😊
Whoever filmed this.. never scream like that at a concert ever again
Happy birthday sammy
Steve Stevenson wonderfull
SS ROCKS!
STEVE, PURE DINAMITE🧨🧨🎸🔥🔥
yes i agree
I didn’t realize that Elizabeth Taylor was such a great guitar player.
Steve Stephen’s is a God. Wow.
Kudos to the giant Sammy fan next to you as well. Thought for sure the entire video was going to be him losing his mind like he was at the beginning. Nope. He shut it DOWN. Hell to the yeah! 🤘🏼
Awesome all the way.
Steve Stevens...Nuff said!
Sammy, Steve and Michael killing it as usual.🤟
DLR can’t and never could sing. He was nothing more than a showman. Sammy blows Roth out of the water vocally!
Pretty damn good singing for a guy that's over 70 years old.
WOOooooo
Very cool!
Szenzációs💪👏
Stevens is s fawkin legend mane!
Steve Stevens is brilliant.
All I can say is Van Hagar left a lot of good years of touring on the table. Too bad. This version will do.
If only this was the permanent group .... awesome
That was great…very well done!!!
That was pretty tight. The whole band was on it.
Steve stevens is awesome!
i missed their Wheelchair World Tour
That was like a TONCAKE. Awesome guitar playin'
Breaks my heart
Steve stevens is awesome
Steve's playing has more energy than Satriani
Steve Steven’s plays with no feel
Great song and great line up, but tuned down a whole step, it just doesn’t sound right. My band plays this tune 1/2 step down and it sounds ok, but this far down in my opinion causes the tune to loose its energy. A bit surprised that this song made the cut for them to play live.
I agree, it doesn’t sound right tuned a whole step down.
This does not sound right at all. Sad.
