Throwing out Michael Anthony was VH brothers' decision, not Wolfgang's. I don't think he "influenced on Michael's firing". It's obvious Eddie wanted to play with his son cause he knew he had cancer. Still not a good decision imo..
yea cuz Dave is the joke these days..his ramblings, his stupid re-make of VH songs to make them sound like a horrible vaudeville act..He was the man in the 70's and 1/2 the 80's now hes just ridiculous
Sorry y’all, I take this back after hearing what he said from his own channel.. it’s one thing for Sam and Dave to fight each other but for Christ’s sake leave Eddie out of it.
@@buchmannjeff1356 I think it's pretty funny and in no way embarrassing. He does stupid shit like that but whenever he talks about music and VH he's pretty serious and speaks with a tremendous amount of respect for what they've accomplished. He'll talk shit about his bandmates and Hagar but he doesn't put down their talent or music.
The fact that Sammy had to throw Dave under the bus on social media completely changed my perception of the dude. I’ve always loved both versions of VH, but regardless of any opinion on which was better Dave was a pioneer in all things bringing them to the masses, and respect is deserved.
I love both versions , it’s all Eddie’s music…. I even like Van Halen 3, but if I had to choose one era, it’s the era with Roth, he is a founding member of one of the greatest bands ever. Dave is also the best front man of all time.
Dave, Eddie, Alex & Michael are Van Halen Sammy was great but Van Halen was with David Lee Roth and there last shows ever together was with David. I always thought Sammy was a good dude yes he put up with a lot and so did poor Michael. But you can’t have the Best of Both Worlds Tour without David Lee Roth it’s bad enough no Alex Van Halen.
David Lee Roth has every right to be pissed at Sammy. You do not put out an invite to somebody especially the original Lead Singer of Van Halen to join a Van Halen Reunion Tour or whatever it is and then take it back after he accepts. That was Sammys major screw up. He went and opened up a whole new can of drama that wasnt nessessary. Then on top of it throw some insults about him out there. Sammy stop being screwy and stick by your original words.
@musicstream26 Sam is not about Ed either this is about him and his ego. 1st off these "tribute" shows are a bit obnoxious. But if one should happen then let the family be the ones to decide. Sam has always had issue with being the 2nd guy and looked as the inferior version of the band.
The original VH is CLASSIC, for a reason. The combination of those four, the friction, the dynamics, the time period, the relentless youth of the members, the drugs, the drama, the virtuosity and legendary shows.... Mach II was like Foreigner, in comparison.
just because it was first doesnt make it better daves not in sammys universe as a singer and please enough with what greatfront man dave was looking back a lot of his act was corny as hell
Yeah….Love Sammy but I think this recent flare up is on him, he didn’t need to totally insult Dave for no reason. He could of just said, it’s not for a whole tour but a few shows, he didn’t need to throw jabs about not remembering lyrics. Totally unnecessary.
@crash9632 Ok fine. But this recent one? Sammy is the one that threw the invite to him. Dave replied in a positive manner then Sammy trashes him. Like I said, there was no need for it.
Sam trashed EVH for years, but now he's out to make money off his death. I saw Roth on his first two solo tours and he didn't drop lyrics and sang the song more like the records, so I think some of that stuff was show and some on those 2 tours was Vai pulling out the best in him.
Amazing How a godly group as VH can attract nothing but gigantic egos and unending drama. Glad Wolfie forgot about that crap and is completely focused on making great music
@@-MetalSage- at the end of the day it’s Eddie and Alex’s band and they can replace whoever they want with whoever they want. Ask Lindsey buckingham about that..
The issue for me has always been that people can't separate the two Van Halen versions and appreciate them as completely different bands. OG Van Halen was this wild and crazy, bombastic, pedal to the floor traveling circus. Anyone who saw VH back in the day can probably testify to the fact that DLR barely sang on stage, improved most of what he did sing, or screech, and the fans didn't seem to care. If you read the book by Ted Templeman you'll understand why DLR actually stringing together 20 Van Halen songs word for word at any time was literally a pipe dream. Then along comes Sammy. The pro. The guys who has been doing it for years, giving his all to the songs in every way. Dude is a legend and was one before Van Halen was ever a thing.I guess what I'm saying is that both versions of the band had their bright spots. But at the end of the day, it all came down to Ed. He was the glue. Then you throw in Alex's ridiculous drumming and Michael's bass playing and absolutely irreplaceable BG vocals. That's VH..It took many forms over the years. But it all came down to those 10 fingers of the late great one.
I agree completely, and also NONE of the splits were the fault of the singers, always of Eddy. So there is no reason for them to fight, for whatever reason Haggar can't seem to get over being compared to Roth. It is a miracle when a hot band can change singers and still be good, and it happened more than once due to ego or whatever on the VH side.
@@sunjester8254 That's subject to taste. What Sammy did bring to VH was the opportunity for Ed to expand musically, and that he did, whether people liked it or not, and quite a few did according to record sales...
@@stevefowler4427 Expand musically how? Sammy's lyrics were trite garbage and he also lacked Dave's songwriting ability. He also wasn't as good a singer as Roth, despite what fans of Sammy believe. I'm not saying Hagar wasn't good but he just wasn't on the same level as DLR.
@HouseWashingRick yeah...I understand not getting along for whatever reason. But maybe just don't converse, do your own thing while touring & put the people above your pettiness. It would be one thing if they were contracted to do it year after year...but this is a temporary thing. Also, they're both older. With age comes wisdom, but also the awareness that shit will end relatively soon. So yea, that is what gets me most.
This is what pisses me off Sammy Hagar say he's doing a tribute concert for Eddie Van Halen and he's telling Alex Van Halen and David Lee Roth to come join him so they really loved says let's do this and Sammy slams him what the hell dude it's not about you it's about the music I like David when he was in Van Halen
I’m a DLR era VH fan personally. I think when Sammy joined they kinda lost their edge. Those first six VH albums were just the four young hungry guys throwing their balls in everyone’s faces. The first four albums in particular are just pure perfection!
Both were great, different times. I can't understand how no peace is made in these twilight years. It's petty and hurts fans and them. I would love to hear Alex just speak.
I would like Alex to say something too. I understood right after Eddie passed , keeping to his self. But it’s Ben a while , can’t he release a statement or something. The fans still care for him. He doesn’t have to make music just let everyone know he’s ok .
I love both of their eras in Van Halen. Dave is a great front man and Hagar is the superior singer. Not sure why Dave is so critical of Hagar's era. Eddie is the one who decided the band should go in that direction. He was the driving force in that band.
How the better vocalist??? How do u come up with that analyst??? What comes close to Running with the devil , Beautiful Girls ,Everybody wants some, Unchained, Secrets , Hot for teachers those first six albums n yours are second to none.. Well I will go by what Ed said that is Roth voice that makes Van Halen...
I've been a drummer in southern California for 40 years and I never publicly criticized any other players,you never know when you might need a friend,just don't get trashing other musicians
i think us drummers are supportive and friendly to each other and other musicians. Of course there is always the exception, yeah I don't go dropping names on them.
I love how everyone gets upset about comments taken out of context. Sammy and Dave have always taken shots at each other. The interview I heard, Sammy didn't invite Roth out for the whole tour. Both are jealous of each other for different reasons and things really went bad during their tour together...both are acting like Eddie's ex-girlfriends still fighting about who Eddie loved the most
This is great show! Thank you for all the work you put into this! I’m 52 and grew up on all this drama and great music! Dave and Sammy are just hyping this for a 2030 tour! They’ll both be older and JUST MAYBE get along enough to see them perform?!
So glad that Dave spoke his mind and put Sammy in his place. Other than when Dave left, he has been very protective of the legacy of Van Halen. He has never shit on Eddie or the band. Sammy on the other hand, trashed Eddie in his book and wonders why Alex won’t talk to him. Sammy’s tour is strictly a money grab because his career is waning. Personally, I won’t be going to this tribute. Hearing Sammy’s friends like Rick Springfield sing any of Dave’s songs just makes me cringe.
I was at that show as well. I thought the opposite. Sammy did some vh but mostly his solo stuff. All roth did was the old vh songs with only 1 of his solo songs. Either way, it was fun
I was at Riverbend that night as well and thought Sammy was much better. Roth's setlist contained only one of his solo songs and the rest was vh. Sammy's setlist contained some vh songs but more of his solo stuff. Either way it was fun being there
Look, Sammy is technically a better singer than Roth. He can still hit all the notes at his age. Much respect for that. But, Sammy never ever had the swag that Roth had which is why VH Roth era will always trump the Sammy Era. Both were great, but one wins 10x over. Sort of like comparing both versions of AC/DC. Bon had the swag and Brian was the better singer (just not to the extreme as VH comparison)
Really? You think Johnson was a better singer than Scott? Bon wrote all the songs up till his death. If AC/DC would have not been cut up by Atlantic with there first 4 albums... Mutt Lang saved them by stepping in...Bon and his ideas along with his writing gave the band it's life. The title of Punk band should not have been given... Angus was 15 on first album...but taking high voltage and breaking it down 3 times was bad business. Did you see Bon perform before his death? 1969 was the year of the original High Voltage. I remember seeing first time...the whole band was like under 5 tall. The first Killer Dwarfs! 😂 There was 3 Young brothers George.. Malcolm..Angus. the school uniform was original..Angus wore it to school then went straight to practice... Brian is nothing but a screamer..I figured his voice would crap out not hearing. Angus only original one left. They invited me to party with them at Ricks Cabaret in Houston Texas. When they came to Houston...they reserved the titty bar Everytime. That's why Houston comes up in a couple of songs. Those guys were all dicks! Malcolm was only descent one. Treated the girls at Ricks like shit. Bon would be alive if he didn't have to drink alone...rest of band usually drank tea after shows...2 bottles vodka for Bon. Feeling alone always ....one of rocks biggest losses. Bon stold the lead vocal job...Bon was AC/DC. The band should have went straight to the Whisky! Not England!
Sammy can't hit anywhere near what he could back in the day. He'll screech one note to seem like it, but he's staying down low most of the time. The two versions of AC/DC were far more similar than the two versions of VH.
@@charlesgreene949 Malcolm went into rehab in '88 because of his drinking. Highway to Hell was Mutt's first hit album as a producer. I love Bon, but he did all kinds of drinking, drugs and carousing. Sad that he was gone, but you can't keep doing that forever. He wasn't a lonely, misunderstood soul.
Who is Sammy hagar to say Dave and alex can come along if they want. Sammy better realize he's not really any part of van halen.Then says hes been selling out arenas. And mentioned Robert plant going solo and not selling out arenas. Hagars ego is out of control. Hes nothing compared to Robert plant.
Nada..there is no Van Halen without Ed..there HAS been Van Halen without Dave, and there HAS been Van Halen without Sammy...and to have a complete Van Halen you need Michael Anthony....period...
I totally agree Diamond Dave was white hot in the 70's and 80's... But I wouldn't call Sammy lucky. Have you listened to his Montrose and VOA stuff? That sh¡t is nasty.
In like 1981 2-3, i used to go the the grocery store for my mom, and i would read all the rock mags and guitar mags. I was definitely all in on guitar and all that, but i came to it by way of comedy. Zappa, Carlin, weird Al actually...before he was ever on MTV. But anyway if there was an article with DLR, i would lose track of time. I could honestly say i was more infatuated with DLRs persona, his knowledge of history, his delivery and no least his sense of living life and adventure on another level. DLR has nothing to answer for. He's a fkn legend of a human being, eccentric like most of them are but has the skill and or lack of but the tenacity to make it and make you take notice love it or hate it. Do better, regardless of being in a band or some single thing, do better at all of it, then maybe you can talk sht. Right?
@matthewpaluch777 DLR IS a Rockstar and an Entertainer. When the word Rockstar is Googled, pre 1988 David Lee Roth should be the FIRST thing to pop up.
Sammy needs to realize that if it weren’t for David Lee Roth he would be playing 3 lock box at the county fair every summer. Or maybe thats really the issue here.
@@cryptofan6255 so what is your point? I have seen plenty of bands and performers fill stadiums 40 years ago that I never hear from again. That is where popsicle sam was heading until he wrangled his way into having the ultimate backing band. IN MY OPINION if Dave did not leave Van Halen, right or wrong, sam would be … obscure. Instead, because of timing and opportunity sam was able to lead the Van Halens into relative lameness. In MY opinion. You nor anyone else will change my mind. Thank you.
@@dogparty-tt8qw And Dave was so successful as a solo act he had to become a paramedic. He was almost broke! Even if not for VH, Sammy could have easily retired a very wealthy man.
This is unfortunate. Sammy was clearly excited about the tour and went overboard with how he invited Roth. Roth took him up on it, which would have been cool. But, Sammy’s response to that was completely clown ass unprofessional. He could have just said, guests, like Dave, could come and join us on occasion, but the main tour will be the four members mentioned and left it at that. I always liked all three versions of VH, but Sammy can’t let the past go. Dave and Sammy both fronted great, but different versions of the band and they should both be proud of their work and let it go.
I’ve read numerous accounts of former band mates who loved DLR. None ever said he was easy to work for but all said he was a super cool dude. Only EVH and Sammy had publicly talked shit bout Dave…. makes me curious
Truth. I was disappointed that he didn't get back with the Eat Em And Smile band. They wanted to. I will say that Diamond Dave has had numerous surgeries...so that may have hit the brakes on it.
The first Van Halen album caused a massive earthquake in rock music at the time its release ! Nothing Van Hagar ever did comes close to the impact caused by that first Van Halen album. I saw Van Halen on the Van Halen II tour, the original lineup is Van Halen !!!
Listen Im die hard VH fan, especially those Roth era albums. But my god what a toxic narcissist. Sammy’s just such a good dude. You can love Roths music and also recognize that the guys attitude and ego are corrosive to anything and anyone around him.
I thought that it was tasteless of Sammy to say months ago, Dave was thoughtful, and ultimately this hurts no one but VanHalen fans… both should get it together, they both owe a great deal to their fans.
I grew up in that era, born in 75. I had a bunch of cousins & a few aunts & uncles that were 5-10 yrs older than me. So I was always with the older crowd, those were the best days & the best music! Van Halen made a lot of great songs with Sammy that I love ! But it never came close to the original! They were so great all together, Anthony’s voice & bass playing & Alex’s sound, his drums just had a very unique sound? But it was the late great Eddies guitar playing that was just EVERYTHING! It was that good. The songs with Dave & the era, Sammy didn’t come close, he always had something about him too? Almost my shit don’t stink kind of a thing? I don’t know if it was just his face or what, but that’s the sense I always got from him! I know Dave had that too, but it was different with him. Believe me, he didn’t end back at the end for nothing! Ed probably could have gotten any front man! I just figured I’d drop my 2 cents I’m just on here rambling…..🤷🏻♂️😂
Diamond Dave was the best of VH. SH does not have a great voice or the stage presence that Dave had! I agree with Dave. They weren't as much od a Hard Rock band after Dave left. Love EVH. Im so glad i saw them in the early 80s. Best of VH!!!💎🎸🤘❤️
Seriously? Sammy doesn't have a great voice? Sammy's is awesome, and it's 10 times better than Daves'. Stage presence, without a doubt does go to Dave.
I love the DLR years but I have to agree Sammy has a great voice and can still belt them out at 70+ and stage presence to match. Just completely different styles but matching egos.....but...thats lead singers.@@MarioCrosby
How anyone can seriously say Dave has a better voice than Sammy is beyond me. That's like saying Yoko Ono has a better voice than Ronnie James Dio. This comment is a joke!
I have a serious question for you, and I mean no disrespect. Do you ever include any audio clips or video clips regarding the news that you provide? I understand that you’re a rock journalist, and I appreciate that. However, I would love to hear some actual audio and see some video rather than just pictures and you reading articles. Like I said, no offense directed toward you, you’re a great journalist. But to capture the audiences attention more perhaps you might want to consider to add audio and video from time to time when you talk about these new stories. Love the show, keep up the good work.
I never took what Sammy said initially as an invitation for Dave to go on tour with him. I understood what he was saying was Dave could get up and jam with the Circle a couple of times. I think this has been blown out of proportion.
Sammy is the biggest con man of all-time in that he has convinced everyone that he’s this laid back, cool, normal guy, that doesn’t worry about anything. When in fact it couldn’t be more further from the truth. Dave’s weird, but Dave is Dave and he’s 100% genuine.
I'm definitely team Roth and think this latest thing is on Hagar....having said that, Roth speaking in riddles would drive me nuts. I have a friend who does that and it wears on my nerves.
it's going to be an epic year... Dave VS Sammy all over again... Oasis gonna reunite... what else 🤣🤣how many are even left alive at this point 😥it's a dying art for sure
I think Sammy talks about Dave way too much. He's proven himself. He really doesn't need to talk so much shit about DLR. Not sure why he is so obsessed.
DLR has always been quirky, as we all know. But Hagar (whom I actually prefer as VH singer) has a real problem with DLR. Dave keeps quite for the most part, but Hagar is always running his mouth, so about time he got it back!
just look what Michael Schenker did with the Temple of Rock tours, he brought all the 4 or 5 (I don't even remember how many at this point) different vocalists to sing in massive 3-hour concerts... these guys agreed to forget in the past on their previously-alcoolized states and they DELIVERED something great for the fans (at a profit) I still think it can be done 🤘💀🤘🤣
I think Sammy was inviting Roth and Alex VH to “sit in”, not tour with them. Roth sounded like he wanted to be part of the tour. I don’t blame Sammy a bit for not wanting to be responsible to compensate, transport, and arrange accommodations for Roth. I would not consider that “walking back” an offer to let Roth sit in for a song or two at a gig or two.
@@shaunclifton5281 only the fan did that asked the question said anything bout touring ....so sam figured it was another perfect chance to put Roth down
would be waaay more excited about a DLR Band 1998 revival with John 5 (and possibly Skyscraper with Steve Vai) than this V reunion... even Chickenfoot new tour that would be awesome
Last I heard Dave was being “forced” to retire by his doctors, making it sound as if it could be secondary to a cancer diagnosis. He was pretty cagey about it but that’s what it sounded like. Since then, he’s ‘in’ for doing A, B, or C. Then he’s ‘out’ for X, Y, or Z. Sammy does seem to be a bit less than straightforward in this story, but considering how things went the last time he & Dave were scheduled to be on stages together, it just reminds me of that old saying: “Don’t meet your heroes, fellas.” 🤦♂️ I love both iterations of ‘Van Halen’. Both played a TON on the soundtrack of my youth. My first (insert experiences here) were with VH in the background. I truly hope they can get some sort of tribute going to honor Edward. If anyone has ever been worthy of such a thing it would be him. But from what I gather Alex isn’t in a place currently to do this.
Dave and Alex retired. They’re not current touring musicians. That’s on them. Sammy has been putting out albums, doing tours, and collaborating with half the music industry. Spin it however you want. Sammy got a great lineup in Satch, Bonham, and MA. He deserves to have the tour go the way he sees fit.
Sammy originally said everyone was welcome to come & join them, then he backtracked. This new drama is all on him & totally deserves to get shit from Dave. Very unprofessional of Sammy. Who by the way, just can't seem to stop talking about Dave & it has been going on for far too long.
Roth is right Van Halen lost it's edge when he left after Hagar joined it was more like listening to Sammy Hagar with guest Van Halen and Sammy joining may have been the only thing that kept them from falling since he was an already established artist I a fan of both Van Halen and the Red Rocker but it sounded like Hagar just like Motley Crue wasn't the same without Vince or Ac DC without Bon you know I like John Corabi and Brian Johnson but it wasn't the same Motley Crue or Ac DC
David Lee Roth made the ultimate classics his time in VH was is what everybody remembers it’s what the cover bands cover and yes Hagar made some great songs to but what people wanna hear is David Lee’s stuff
I don’t get why people say Sammy asked Dave to go on tour , it sounded to me like he asked him to join them when they came through Dave’s area . The media is putting fuel on the fire that probably never existed. As usual
Hagar never meant anything about joining the tour..it was open invite for people to get up and do a number in whatever city they were playing in...Alex or Dave included..people have misconstrued this completely !!
I don't doubt a word Hagar says about Roth.... but bottom line is he didn't have to give him an open invite, either. Dude's a douche? Fair enough, just say "I'd respectfully decline having him involved." Inviting him openly then talking trash when he accepts is just a bad look. Also, I have to say Roth's response was much more poetic.
Sir Diamond Lee is the cool dude who hosted the party and got all the hottest girls --- Sammy was always just a no-talent bozo in sandals who sold tequila
the sad thing is dave would steal the show, all he’d have to do is walk out and stand there and grin like a idiot with his hands on his hips and do a cartwheel or spin kick and people would eat that shit up
For years I felt SH was the mature one taking the high road when it came to DLR. But these days I feel SH is just as guilty of creating new drama with this tired old VH feud! By suggesting publicly that DLR will forget the lyrics to songs is just poking the bear and bringing himself down to the DLR (just desperate to stay relevant) level. I'm so done with this tired drama that takes the focus off of a legend that needs to be the focus and keeps the headlines on two old lead singers.
Roth's ego is what kept him from going further with VH. He just clashed with the rest of the band. Don't get me wrong, I like both Roth and Hagar versions of VH. Roth should check his ego and get along with everyone.
Been there done that! I was at the Sam and Dave show. This tour is about Sammy's career. Van Halen was 10 years of it. There was a Red Rocker before and after Van Halen!!
I was SHOCKED when Sammy talked crap about Dave after the invite accept...it seemed WAAAAAAY out of place for what most of us have come to know from Sammy !?! I would have expected Dave to take the jab but he didn't...instead Sammy did...and seemed so out of character and even a little immature. Sad it went this way after so many years that should have softened the hard feelings.
Its exactly like that tho...its like sammy may have got a buzz mentioned dave. So DLR says hey yeah...then sammy's like huh oh ! So confusing! However i loved the ballad of popcicle sam lol
Sammy was wrong. He was pretending initially. That's the problem. He took Dave's acceptance as an insult. Like "cmon dude, I wasn't serious. " Guess how much hagar ticket are by me ? Front center section but furthest back row ( row v on A to Z ) $899 each. Front row ? $13,000 each. For C tier Van Halen. No thanks.
Nobody could describe this issue better than Dave himself: “Sammy throws a party, I am the party”-DLR and despite the success VH had with Sammy he can’t stand knowing that most longtime VH fans prefer the Dave years all day everyday. Sammy is jealous, always has been, always will be. I used to love Sammy but he’s been so passive aggressive about this stuff for years I’m out on Sammy these days.
Sammy’s net worth 150 million Dave’s 50 million Sammy doesn’t need the money but he understands a tribute of any kind taking this long for Eddie is just wrong !
Sammy always wants to portray himself as the good dude but he’s always talked shit about DLR from the beginning of taking over. A little class wouldn’t hurt Hagar.
To the content creator-Question? Didn’t Van Halen release an album called “A different kind of truth “ ? WTF doesn’t anyone remember that? That IMO was just as good as 1984. I’m sick of nobody ever recognizing that fact. That album brings everything back full circle.⭕️ That was Wolfgang’s introduction to the band. Yeah maybe Roth forgot some words be he had way more charisma than Sammy again IMO. Also Roth was a better wordsmith.
i made a video about why hasn't there been a tribute show yet. I thought it was Good Sam & Michael said they were gonna start one. true Roth can be a jerk BUT They should have told him OK you can go out with US But it has to be like this set ground rules. having Roth at like several selective shows for like one song would be very Stupid
It's Sammy's tour. DLR has had enough time to put together something like this and has not bothered. Now he wants to jump on board with Sammy. They should do a video honoring the original members and let DLR stay at home.
No wonder Wolfie doesn't want anything to do with a VH reunion/tribute tour.
Imagine getting in the middle of this unending drama.
Wolfgang openly said the only way he would do it is if alex was on board.
he didn't hesitate for a single second before thinking about replacing Michael Anthony on tour and ultimately influencing on his firing
behind the fans backs
@@FeelingShredFacts. He's the reason Michael was thrown out like garbage.
Throwing out Michael Anthony was VH brothers' decision, not Wolfgang's. I don't think he "influenced on Michael's firing". It's obvious Eddie wanted to play with his son cause he knew he had cancer. Still not a good decision imo..
Dave really took the high road bringing humor in to this, honestly.
yea cuz Dave is the joke these days..his ramblings, his stupid re-make of VH songs to make them sound like a horrible vaudeville act..He was the man in the 70's and 1/2 the 80's now hes just ridiculous

@@buchmannjeff1356 I think it's pretty funny and in no way embarrassing. He does stupid shit like that but whenever he talks about music and VH he's pretty serious and speaks with a tremendous amount of respect for what they've accomplished.

The fact that Sammy had to throw Dave under the bus on social media completely changed my perception of the dude. I’ve always loved both versions of VH, but regardless of any opinion on which was better Dave was a pioneer in all things bringing them to the masses, and respect is deserved.
Same I always thought sammy was pretty chill, but it was unnecessary
Exactly!♥️
I love both versions , it’s all Eddie’s music…. I even like Van Halen 3, but if I had to choose one era, it’s the era with Roth, he is a founding member of one of the greatest bands ever. Dave is also the best front man of all time.
Dave, Eddie, Alex & Michael are Van Halen
Sammy was great but Van Halen was with David Lee Roth and there last shows ever together was with David. I always thought Sammy was a good dude yes he put up with a lot and so did poor Michael. But you can’t have the Best of Both Worlds Tour without David Lee Roth it’s bad enough no Alex Van Halen.
@@OrangeJuiceOctopus I think its more about 1 band covering both eras then trying to get both eras together.
David Lee Roth has every right to be pissed at Sammy. You do not put out an invite to somebody especially the original Lead Singer of Van Halen to join a Van Halen Reunion Tour or whatever it is and then take it back after he accepts. That was Sammys major screw up. He went and opened up a whole new can of drama that wasnt nessessary. Then on top of it throw some insults about him out there. Sammy stop being screwy and stick by your original words.
@@musicstream26 Roth never said anything about joining the tour. Where did you get that from?
He may have only meant... let's do this meaning hey thanks man. I'll be there for Eddie..
What's your picture of JNC?
@@musicstream26 Then they're silly for assuming. And Hagar using it as a chance to attack Roth is very petty.
@musicstream26 Sam is not about Ed either this is about him and his ego. 1st off these "tribute" shows are a bit obnoxious. But if one should happen then let the family be the ones to decide.
Sam has always had issue with being the 2nd guy and looked as the inferior version of the band.
The original VH is CLASSIC, for a reason.
The combination of those four, the friction, the dynamics, the time period, the relentless
youth of the members, the drugs, the drama, the virtuosity and legendary shows....
Mach II was like Foreigner, in comparison.
just because it was first doesnt make it better daves not in sammys universe as a singer and please enough with what greatfront man dave was looking back a lot of his act was corny as hell

@@TotalMeltdown2 my dog is a better singer than roth 🤣

I totally agree! Very unprofessional!!
Roth had trashed Sammy for years
@crash9632 Ok fine. But this recent one? Sammy is the one that threw the invite to him. Dave replied in a positive manner then Sammy trashes him. Like I said, there was no need for it.
Sam trashed EVH for years, but now he's out to make money off his death. I saw Roth on his first two solo tours and he didn't drop lyrics and sang the song more like the records, so I think some of that stuff was show and some on those 2 tours was Vai pulling out the best in him.
@@crash9632 It's been a two way street all along. Hagar is no victim.
Amazing How a godly group as VH can attract nothing but gigantic egos and unending drama. Glad Wolfie forgot about that crap and is completely focused on making great music
Thank God the others stay out of it.
Wolfie "forgot" about it, because he's the reason Michael was thrown out like garbage.
@@-MetalSage- at the end of the day it’s Eddie and Alex’s band and they can replace whoever they want with whoever they want. Ask Lindsey buckingham about that..
@@-MetalSage- Van Halen wasnt kind to Michael Anthony but I dont think Wolfie has anything with that
Most bigger than life bands are filled with over inflated egos.
The issue for me has always been that people can't separate the two Van Halen versions and appreciate them as completely different bands. OG Van Halen was this wild and crazy, bombastic, pedal to the floor traveling circus. Anyone who saw VH back in the day can probably testify to the fact that DLR barely sang on stage, improved most of what he did sing, or screech, and the fans didn't seem to care. If you read the book by Ted Templeman you'll understand why DLR actually stringing together 20 Van Halen songs word for word at any time was literally a pipe dream. Then along comes Sammy. The pro. The guys who has been doing it for years, giving his all to the songs in every way. Dude is a legend and was one before Van Halen was ever a thing.I guess what I'm saying is that both versions of the band had their bright spots. But at the end of the day, it all came down to Ed. He was the glue. Then you throw in Alex's ridiculous drumming and Michael's bass playing and absolutely irreplaceable BG vocals. That's VH..It took many forms over the years. But it all came down to those 10 fingers of the late great one.
I agree completely, and also NONE of the splits were the fault of the singers, always of Eddy. So there is no reason for them to fight, for whatever reason Haggar can't seem to get over being compared to Roth. It is a miracle when a hot band can change singers and still be good, and it happened more than once due to ego or whatever on the VH side.
Van Halen wasn't nearly as good without DLR and Eddie and Alex know that.
@@sunjester8254 That's subject to taste. What Sammy did bring to VH was the opportunity for Ed to expand musically, and that he did, whether people liked it or not, and quite a few did according to record sales...
Improved? I think you meant improvised, anyway you are right.
@@stevefowler4427 Expand musically how? Sammy's lyrics were trite garbage and he also lacked Dave's songwriting ability. He also wasn't as good a singer as Roth, despite what fans of Sammy believe.
I'm not saying Hagar wasn't good but he just wasn't on the same level as DLR.
For Hagar to pull this crap is not only disrespectful to Roth. It is also disrespectful to hopeful fans that love Van Halen.
Exactly
Fk what happened 35 years ago get it together and both get out there and give the fans what they want
@HouseWashingRick yeah...I understand not getting along for whatever reason. But maybe just don't converse, do your own thing while touring & put the people above your pettiness. It would be one thing if they were contracted to do it year after year...but this is a temporary thing. Also, they're both older. With age comes wisdom, but also the awareness that shit will end relatively soon. So yea, that is what gets me most.
@@TyDie85 very true friend.
Absolutely!!!
Dave era was best vh era. That was good response by Dave. Sammy slams Dave every chance he gets.
This is what pisses me off Sammy Hagar say he's doing a tribute concert for Eddie Van Halen and he's telling Alex Van Halen and David Lee Roth to come join him so they really loved says let's do this and Sammy slams him what the hell dude it's not about you it's about the music I like David when he was in Van Halen
💯
I’m a DLR era VH fan personally. I think when Sammy joined they kinda lost their edge. Those first six VH albums were just the four young hungry guys throwing their balls in everyone’s faces. The first four albums in particular are just pure perfection!
The first four albums are especially kinetic
Damn I agree!!!!
Yeah, when people think of Ed's guitar or just of VH, they think of the Roth era.
Nothing to throw away ont VH's six first albums imo.
@@superpotiron That's about right. Can't imagine people saying, "Man I just listened to Sucker in a 3 Piece again".
Again? It’s obvious that DLR doesn’t like Sammy and vice versa.
Gee, ya think.😂😂
@@johnNYjets12 I’m beginning to wonder if DLR likes anyone these days.
Both were great, different times. I can't understand how no peace is made in these twilight years. It's petty and hurts fans and them. I would love to hear Alex just speak.
Sammy has tried constantly.
Dave’s just toxic as fuck
@@user-wv5gv3dw5uExactly! It's all David Lee Roth being a diva
1 were great
I would like Alex to say something too. I understood right after Eddie passed , keeping to his self. But it’s Ben a while , can’t he release a statement or something. The fans still care for him. He doesn’t have to make music just let everyone know he’s ok .
Both have huge egos. A bit narcissistic as well.
I love both of their eras in Van Halen. Dave is a great front man and Hagar is the superior singer. Not sure why Dave is so critical of Hagar's era. Eddie is the one who decided the band should go in that direction. He was the driving force in that band.
Sammy may be the better vocalist but he’s always been jealous he’s not nearly as cool as Roth. He knows it.
How the better vocalist??? How do u come up with that analyst??? What comes close to Running with the devil , Beautiful Girls ,Everybody wants some, Unchained, Secrets , Hot for teachers those first six albums n yours are second to none.. Well I will go by what Ed said that is Roth voice that makes Van Halen...
lol Sammy sucks big time.
Absolutely correct, love Dave’s sound but Sammy is much better vocally. Saw both live. Ever hear them both on Howard Stern ? World of difference.
lol sammy era van halen is Van Gina That guys voice is like nails on a chalkboard
@@brianmorrissey7548 yes. Sammy’s a singer. Dave’s a showman who can sing.
I've been a drummer in southern California for 40 years and I never publicly criticized any other players,you never know when you might need a friend,just don't get trashing other musicians
i agree, never bad-mouth anybody.
good advice, sir...
i think us drummers are supportive and friendly to each other and other musicians. Of course there is always the exception, yeah I don't go dropping names on them.
I love how everyone gets upset about comments taken out of context. Sammy and Dave have always taken shots at each other. The interview I heard, Sammy didn't invite Roth out for the whole tour. Both are jealous of each other for different reasons and things really went bad during their tour together...both are acting like Eddie's ex-girlfriends still fighting about who Eddie loved the most
This is great show! Thank you for all the work you put into this! I’m 52 and grew up on all this drama and great music! Dave and Sammy are just hyping this for a 2030 tour! They’ll both be older and JUST MAYBE get along enough to see them perform?!
So glad that Dave spoke his mind and put Sammy in his place. Other than when Dave left, he has been very protective of the legacy of Van Halen. He has never shit on Eddie or the band. Sammy on the other hand, trashed Eddie in his book and wonders why Alex won’t talk to him. Sammy’s tour is strictly a money grab because his career is waning. Personally, I won’t be going to this tribute. Hearing Sammy’s friends like Rick Springfield sing any of Dave’s songs just makes me cringe.
I was at the Cincinnati Roth/Hagar concert and DLR blew Sammy Hagar out of the water.
Your high
I was at the Columbus show and I agree. All Hagar did was whine about having to play first. Roth’s band smoked Hagar. It wasn’t even close.
I was at that show as well. I thought the opposite. Sammy did some vh but mostly his solo stuff. All roth did was the old vh songs with only 1 of his solo songs. Either way, it was fun
I was at Riverbend that night as well and thought Sammy was much better. Roth's setlist contained only one of his solo songs and the rest was vh. Sammy's setlist contained some vh songs but more of his solo stuff. Either way it was fun being there
Sammy was good but Dave put on a better show. Imo
Look, Sammy is technically a better singer than Roth. He can still hit all the notes at his age. Much respect for that. But, Sammy never ever had the swag that Roth had which is why VH Roth era will always trump the Sammy Era. Both were great, but one wins 10x over. Sort of like comparing both versions of AC/DC. Bon had the swag and Brian was the better singer (just not to the extreme as VH comparison)
Look... Sammy is mediocre...Dave's one of a kind...dummy
@@tomlewis5542Diamond Dave could never sing
Really? You think Johnson was a better singer than Scott? Bon wrote all the songs up till his death. If AC/DC would have not been cut up by Atlantic with there first 4 albums... Mutt Lang saved them by stepping in...Bon and his ideas along with his writing gave the band it's life. The title of Punk band should not have been given...
Angus was 15 on first album...but taking high voltage and breaking it down 3 times was bad business. Did you see Bon perform before his death? 1969 was the year of the original High Voltage. I remember seeing first time...the whole band was like under 5 tall. The first Killer Dwarfs! 😂
There was 3 Young brothers George.. Malcolm..Angus. the school uniform was original..Angus wore it to school then went straight to practice...
Brian is nothing but a screamer..I figured his voice would crap out not hearing. Angus only original one left. They invited me to party with them at Ricks Cabaret in Houston Texas. When they came to Houston...they reserved the titty bar Everytime. That's why Houston comes up in a couple of songs. Those guys were all dicks! Malcolm was only descent one. Treated the girls at Ricks like shit. Bon would be alive if he didn't have to drink alone...rest of band usually drank tea after shows...2 bottles vodka for Bon. Feeling alone always ....one of rocks biggest losses. Bon stold the lead vocal job...Bon was AC/DC. The band should have went straight to the Whisky! Not England!
Sammy can't hit anywhere near what he could back in the day. He'll screech one note to seem like it, but he's staying down low most of the time.
The two versions of AC/DC were far more similar than the two versions of VH.
@@charlesgreene949 Malcolm went into rehab in '88 because of his drinking. Highway to Hell was Mutt's first hit album as a producer. I love Bon, but he did all kinds of drinking, drugs and carousing. Sad that he was gone, but you can't keep doing that forever. He wasn't a lonely, misunderstood soul.
Who is Sammy hagar to say Dave and alex can come along if they want. Sammy better realize he's not really any part of van halen.Then says hes been selling out arenas. And mentioned Robert plant going solo and not selling out arenas. Hagars ego is out of control. Hes nothing compared to Robert plant.

Dave and Sam - Out of control egos.
Have you actually listened to DLR lately? His voice sounds amazing. Maybe not live but it sounds great when he sits and relaxes.
Sammy hagar has continuously talked crap about dave.When Dave hadn't been saying anything about hagar. Ill tell you what Dave will tear hagar up.
Dave was and is VAN HALEN. The King of frontmans. Sammy could never touch his swagger. Diamond Dave was White hot. Sammy was lucky thats it.
I totally agree Diamond Dave was white hot in the 70's and 80's... But I wouldn't call Sammy lucky. Have you listened to his Montrose and VOA stuff? That sh¡t is nasty.
If only he could sing…..
Lucky!?!.... Apparently you know nothing about SH.
In like 1981 2-3, i used to go the the grocery store for my mom, and i would read all the rock mags and guitar mags. I was definitely all in on guitar and all that, but i came to it by way of comedy. Zappa, Carlin, weird Al actually...before he was ever on MTV. But anyway if there was an article with DLR, i would lose track of time. I could honestly say i was more infatuated with DLRs persona, his knowledge of history, his delivery and no least his sense of living life and adventure on another level. DLR has nothing to answer for. He's a fkn legend of a human being, eccentric like most of them are but has the skill and or lack of but the tenacity to make it and make you take notice love it or hate it. Do better, regardless of being in a band or some single thing, do better at all of it, then maybe you can talk sht. Right?
Eat and smile and Skyskraper are better than a Sammys greatest hits!
Absolutely yes
Especially live in concert , Dave puts on a hell of a show
Sammy Hagar is a singer
David Lee Roth is a rockstar
Make that a t-shirt please
Correction- DLR is an ENTERTAINER!
@matthewpaluch777 DLR IS a Rockstar and an Entertainer. When the word Rockstar is Googled, pre 1988 David Lee Roth should be the FIRST thing to pop up.
Not since the 1980s.
You said it all. 🎉
David Lee Roth is Van Halen. I don't know this 'Sammy' guy 😂
Eddie is Van Halen. DLR and Sammy are just singers.
It's hard to find quality rock new/media in the age of RUclips. Thanks for your hard work and perspective
Sammy needs to realize that if it weren’t for David Lee Roth he would be playing 3 lock box
at the county fair every summer. Or maybe thats really the issue here.
Sammy had a successful solo career. I saw him at a packed stadium before he joined VH. DLR was going broke with his solo career!
@@cryptofan6255 so what is your point? I have seen plenty of bands and performers fill stadiums 40 years ago that I never hear from again. That is where popsicle sam was heading until he wrangled his way into having the ultimate backing band.
IN MY OPINION if Dave did not leave Van Halen, right or wrong, sam would be … obscure. Instead, because of timing and
opportunity sam was able to lead the Van Halens into relative lameness. In MY opinion. You nor anyone else will change my mind. Thank you.
@@dogparty-tt8qw And Dave was so successful as a solo act he had to become a paramedic. He was almost broke! Even if not for VH, Sammy could have easily retired a very wealthy man.
DLR is a legend, speaks eloquently and makes sense. Hagar is an absolute tool. Enough said
Can't we all just get along 😅
I second this!
This is unfortunate. Sammy was clearly excited about the tour and went overboard with how he invited Roth. Roth took him up on it, which would have been cool. But, Sammy’s response to that was completely clown ass unprofessional. He could have just said, guests, like Dave, could come and join us on occasion, but the main tour will be the four members mentioned and left it at that. I always liked all three versions of VH, but Sammy can’t let the past go. Dave and Sammy both fronted great, but different versions of the band and they should both be proud of their work and let it go.
I will always be in the DLR camp! Roth Rules...B.I.R. (Brothers in Roth!!!!!!!!!
I’ve read numerous accounts of former band mates who loved DLR. None ever said he was easy to work for but all said he was a super cool dude. Only EVH and Sammy had publicly talked shit bout Dave…. makes me curious
Truth. I was disappointed that he didn't get back with the Eat Em And Smile band. They wanted to. I will say that Diamond Dave has had numerous surgeries...so that may have hit the brakes on it.
The first Van Halen album caused a massive earthquake in rock music at the time its release !
Nothing Van Hagar ever did comes close to the impact caused by that first Van Halen album.
I saw Van Halen on the Van Halen II tour, the original lineup is Van Halen !!!
I completely agree
Listen Im die hard VH fan, especially those Roth era albums.
But my god what a toxic narcissist.
Sammy’s just such a good dude.
You can love Roths music and also recognize that the guys attitude and ego are corrosive to anything and anyone around him.
I thought that it was tasteless of Sammy to say months ago, Dave was thoughtful, and ultimately this hurts no one but VanHalen fans… both should get it together, they both owe a great deal to their fans.
Interestingly, Sammy seems to have his mouth full of Dave all the time.
Exactly!!! Always!!
Well, he does get asked about DLR all the time.
Love DAVE❤! Can’t BEAT him !🎤
I grew up in that era, born in 75. I had a bunch of cousins & a few aunts & uncles that were 5-10 yrs older than me. So I was always with the older crowd, those were the best days & the best music! Van Halen made a lot of great songs with Sammy that I love ! But it never came close to the original! They were so great all together, Anthony’s voice & bass playing & Alex’s sound, his drums just had a very unique sound? But it was the late great Eddies guitar playing that was just EVERYTHING! It was that good. The songs with Dave & the era, Sammy didn’t come close, he always had something about him too? Almost my shit don’t stink kind of a thing? I don’t know if it was just his face or what, but that’s the sense I always got from him! I know Dave had that too, but it was different with him. Believe me, he didn’t end back at the end for nothing! Ed probably could have gotten any front man! I just figured I’d drop my 2 cents I’m just on here rambling…..🤷🏻♂️😂
Diamond Dave was the best of VH. SH does not have a great voice or the stage presence that Dave had! I agree with Dave. They weren't as much od a Hard Rock band after Dave left. Love EVH. Im so glad i saw them in the early 80s. Best of VH!!!💎🎸🤘❤️
Seriously? Sammy doesn't have a great voice? Sammy's is awesome, and it's 10 times better than Daves'. Stage presence, without a doubt does go to Dave.
I love the DLR years but I have to agree Sammy has a great voice and can still belt them out at 70+ and stage presence to match. Just completely different styles but matching egos.....but...thats lead singers.@@MarioCrosby
How anyone can seriously say Dave has a better voice than Sammy is beyond me. That's like saying Yoko Ono has a better voice than Ronnie James Dio. This comment is a joke!
I have a serious question for you, and I mean no disrespect. Do you ever include any audio clips or video clips regarding the news that you provide? I understand that you’re a rock journalist, and I appreciate that. However, I would love to hear some actual audio and see some video rather than just pictures and you reading articles. Like I said, no offense directed toward you, you’re a great journalist. But to capture the audiences attention more perhaps you might want to consider to add audio and video from time to time when you talk about these new stories. Love the show, keep up the good work.
I never took what Sammy said initially as an invitation for Dave to go on tour with him. I understood what he was saying was Dave could get up and jam with the Circle a couple of times. I think this has been blown out of proportion.
Sammy is the biggest con man of all-time in that he has convinced everyone that he’s this laid back, cool, normal guy, that doesn’t worry about anything. When in fact it couldn’t be more further from the truth. Dave’s weird, but Dave is Dave and he’s 100% genuine.
I suppose you're good friends or maybe family? Because that sounds alot like slander
Dave called out Sams bluff, is what I hear.
I'm definitely team Roth and think this latest thing is on Hagar....having said that, Roth speaking in riddles would drive me nuts. I have a friend who does that and it wears on my nerves.
Iv always felt like Sammy was a musician with a passion for music. And David was just David. I mean Sammy has done a lot of other things.
it's going to be an epic year... Dave VS Sammy all over again... Oasis gonna reunite... what else 🤣🤣how many are even left alive at this point 😥it's a dying art for sure
I think Sammy talks about Dave way too much. He's proven himself. He really doesn't need to talk so much shit about DLR. Not sure why he is so obsessed.
I think it more about interviewers being obsessed with his opinion about DLR.
Nice upgrade of the studio btw, looks great. 🤘🤘
Thanks!!!!
DLR has always been quirky, as we all know. But Hagar (whom I actually prefer as VH singer) has a real problem with DLR. Dave keeps quite for the most part, but Hagar is always running his mouth, so about time he got it back!
just look what Michael Schenker did with the Temple of Rock tours, he brought all the 4 or 5 (I don't even remember how many at this point) different vocalists to sing in massive 3-hour concerts... these guys agreed to forget in the past on their previously-alcoolized states and they DELIVERED something great for the fans (at a profit) I still think it can be done 🤘💀🤘🤣
DLR > Hagar
DLR can't sing lol
I think Sammy was inviting Roth and Alex VH to “sit in”, not tour with them. Roth sounded like he wanted to be part of the tour. I don’t blame Sammy a bit for not wanting to be responsible to compensate, transport, and arrange accommodations for Roth. I would not consider that “walking back” an offer to let Roth sit in for a song or two at a gig or two.
Ok . But were Sammy's insults nessecary?
Roth NEVER said anything about a tour.
@@shaunclifton5281 only the fan did that asked the question said anything bout touring ....so sam figured it was another perfect chance to put Roth down
Quitting Van Halen was a monumental, ego-driven mistake.
would be waaay more excited about a DLR Band 1998 revival with John 5 (and possibly Skyscraper with Steve Vai) than this V reunion... even Chickenfoot new tour that would be awesome
Last I heard Dave was being “forced” to retire by his doctors, making it sound as if it could be secondary to a cancer diagnosis. He was pretty cagey about it but that’s what it sounded like.
Since then, he’s ‘in’ for doing A, B, or C. Then he’s ‘out’ for X, Y, or Z.
Sammy does seem to be a bit less than straightforward in this story, but considering how things went the last time he & Dave were scheduled to be on stages together, it just reminds me of that old saying: “Don’t meet your heroes, fellas.” 🤦♂️
I love both iterations of ‘Van Halen’. Both played a TON on the soundtrack of my youth. My first (insert experiences here) were with VH in the background. I truly hope they can get some sort of tribute going to honor Edward. If anyone has ever been worthy of such a thing it would be him. But from what I gather Alex isn’t in a place currently to do this.
Dave and Alex retired. They’re not current touring musicians. That’s on them. Sammy has been putting out albums, doing tours, and collaborating with half the music industry. Spin it however you want. Sammy got a great lineup in Satch, Bonham, and MA. He deserves to have the tour go the way he sees fit.
Sammy originally said everyone was welcome to come & join them, then he backtracked. This new drama is all on him & totally deserves to get shit from Dave. Very unprofessional of Sammy. Who by the way, just can't seem to stop talking about Dave & it has been going on for far too long.
Personally, for me, love them both. Miss Eddie. Alex, so good on drums. Michael, fantastic. Love what Wolfie is doing too.
Roth is right Van Halen lost it's edge when he left after Hagar joined it was more like listening to Sammy Hagar with guest Van Halen and Sammy joining may have been the only thing that kept them from falling since he was an already established artist I a fan of both Van Halen and the Red Rocker but it sounded like Hagar just like Motley Crue wasn't the same without Vince or Ac DC without Bon you know I like John Corabi and Brian Johnson but it wasn't the same Motley Crue or Ac DC
With Sammy You make some good Music
With Roth You make History!
David Lee Roth made the ultimate classics his time in VH was is what everybody remembers it’s what the cover bands cover and yes Hagar made some great songs to but what people wanna hear is David Lee’s stuff
I don’t get why people say Sammy asked Dave to go on tour , it sounded to me like he asked him to join them when they came through Dave’s area . The media is putting fuel on the fire that probably never existed. As usual
Hagar never meant anything about joining the tour..it was open invite for people to get up and do a number in whatever city they were playing in...Alex or Dave included..people have misconstrued this completely !!
Dude, I love your channel and your personality!
Right on man! 👍
I don't doubt a word Hagar says about Roth.... but bottom line is he didn't have to give him an open invite, either. Dude's a douche? Fair enough, just say "I'd respectfully decline having him involved." Inviting him openly then talking trash when he accepts is just a bad look. Also, I have to say Roth's response was much more poetic.
Dave's a trip ,I like it.
Sir Diamond Lee is the cool dude who hosted the party and got all the hottest girls --- Sammy was always just a no-talent bozo in sandals who sold tequila
Hagar knows DLR will steal the show!
the sad thing is dave would steal the show, all he’d have to do is walk out and stand there and grin like a idiot with his hands on his hips and do a cartwheel or spin kick and people would eat that shit up
For years I felt SH was the mature one taking the high road when it came to DLR. But these days I feel SH is just as guilty of creating new drama with this tired old VH feud! By suggesting publicly that DLR will forget the lyrics to songs is just poking the bear and bringing himself down to the DLR (just desperate to stay relevant) level. I'm so done with this tired drama that takes the focus off of a legend that needs to be the focus and keeps the headlines on two old lead singers.
Roth's ego is what kept him from going further with VH. He just clashed with the rest of the band. Don't get me wrong, I like both Roth and Hagar versions of VH. Roth should check his ego and get along with everyone.
Sammy actually did talk about meeting aliens, so theres that
Been there done that! I was at the Sam and Dave show. This tour is about Sammy's career. Van Halen was 10 years of it. There was a Red Rocker before and after Van Halen!!
Thank you!! Kind words as always from rock feed!!♥️♥️♥️
You give alien abduction a "no comment"?!? Hilarious.
Going to the LA show, Would like to see Dave come out and do a song.
I was SHOCKED when Sammy talked crap about Dave after the invite accept...it seemed WAAAAAAY out of place for what most of us have come to know from Sammy !?! I would have expected Dave to take the jab but he didn't...instead Sammy did...and seemed so out of character and even a little immature. Sad it went this way after so many years that should have softened the hard feelings.

The reality of this is van halen wasn't Sam or dave.. It was Eddie and always will be.
Sammy was wrong. He was pretending initially. That's the problem. He took Dave's acceptance as an insult. Like "cmon dude, I wasn't serious. "
Guess how much hagar ticket are by me ? Front center section but furthest back row ( row v on A to Z ) $899 each. Front row ? $13,000 each.
For C tier Van Halen. No thanks.
Sammy is keeping it pro based on his experience with Dave on the Sam and Dave tour.
Nobody could describe this issue better than Dave himself:
“Sammy throws a party, I am the party”-DLR
and despite the success VH had with Sammy he can’t stand knowing that most longtime VH fans prefer the Dave years all day everyday.
Sammy is jealous, always has been, always will be.
I used to love Sammy but he’s been so passive aggressive about this stuff for years I’m out on Sammy these days.
Sammy’s net worth 150 million
Dave’s 50 million
Sammy doesn’t need the money but he understands a tribute of any kind taking this long for Eddie is just wrong !
Sammy always wants to portray himself as the good dude but he’s always talked shit about DLR from the beginning of taking over. A little class wouldn’t hurt Hagar.
Cant be a Rockstar without drama...
Yeah your right
Dave loved Ed too. Life’s too short for the BS.
DLR era is king of VH! They were more edgy/radical in that era. 🤘
To be honest I always hear Sammy talking smack . Very rarely David Lee Roth . Still love Sammy though .
To the content creator-Question? Didn’t Van Halen release an album called “A different kind of truth “ ? WTF doesn’t anyone remember that? That IMO was just as good as 1984. I’m sick of nobody ever recognizing that fact. That album brings everything back full circle.⭕️
That was Wolfgang’s introduction to the band. Yeah maybe Roth forgot some words be he had way more charisma than Sammy again IMO. Also Roth was a better wordsmith.
Wasn't that half old songs?
i made a video about why hasn't there been a tribute show yet.
I thought it was Good Sam & Michael said they were gonna start one.
true Roth can be a jerk BUT They should have told him OK you can go out with US But it has to be like this set ground rules.
having Roth at like several selective shows for like one song would be very Stupid
Diamond Dave is great! That was funny as hell but the stories after that were really awesome. EVH wedding!!! 😂
It's Sammy's tour. DLR has had enough time to put together something like this and has not bothered. Now he wants to jump on board with Sammy. They should do a video honoring the original members and let DLR stay at home.
