Most people don't catch on to the fact that this is actually a DUET! Yes, Sammy sharing vocal duties here with Mike Reno, of Loverboy. I'm really showing my age here but my first concert was Sammy Hagar to support this album. I was 12 years old and couldn't wait to hear this song live. Loved it then, love it now. Glad you caught on immediately to what a great tune it is. My love to all military members and families, you rock!
I was about to comment that same fact. lol I remember hearing this album for the first time and reading the liner notes on the back of the album and seeing Mike Reno’s name. His voice was such a perfect match with Sammy’s. I’m so glad you pointed that out. I was just about to say it too. lol I remember this tour as well although a bit older (16) it was such a great concert. Sammy “The Red Rocker” Hagar has always been a great entertainer over the years. I was also fortunate enough to see Loverboy during their prime. It was a great time for music.
That's interesting. I never knew that. I didn't really think about who is singing with him. Here's a little something that you might like for the patriotic holidays. The link to the Spotify version is in the description. music.th-cam.com/play/PLlFrRPKzi7HjhY6IiJhRzH7YuVjFSmaHg.html&feature=share
I was a bit older! Sammy "Trans Am" was a great tune, and well, Loverboy? Who DIDN'T have those on cassette? (Yeah kids, that was after 8 track and before CD lol)
Lisa - I was hoping someone would mention the Mike Reno think because anyone who truly listens closely to this song and knows lead singers from this era, will spot that it’s Reno right away. He had an amazing and powerful voice that was clean and true with incredible range. Hagar was great too - but Reno actually out sings him on this track in my opinion.
RIP and Bless all who gave the ultimate sacrifice in US military service. Veteran's Day (11/11) is for all who took the oath and wore the uniform; Armed Services Day is for all who currently serve - but today is especially for those who perished in the line of duty - "LORD of Hosts, be with us yet. Lest we forget - lest we forget."
Well said. My Uncle died in Vietnam on May 5th, 1967. Thank you to all those who have served and God bless the souls of those who died in the line of duty.
"Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy" off the same album is also fantastic. The album is called "Three Lock Box" definitely worth a listen to the full album. Sammy is definitely a rocker and he can play guitar as well.
I love love love Sammy Hagar. From when he was with Montrose, to Van Halen, Chickenfoot and the Circle. It's hard to believe he's in his 70's and can still sing and perform. When he sings I feel it
You guys have to react to the song heavy metal, the lead track on the animated movie heavy-metal from the 70s. Absolutely a hard rocking songs by Sammy
Me, too. I thought "Rock Candy" and "Bad Motor Scooter" were so hot. Then Paper Money came out and really blew me away. That's when I knew Sammy was the real deal. Several years later, after I got out the service, I worked for a security company briefly. The last job I did for them was checking backstage passes at a county fair outdoor concert with Sammy Hagar as the headliner. I was hired by the fair board. I had a partner (who wasn't from our company) on that post hired by the promoter, who thought the fair wouldn't hire sufficient security for the concert. He had hired members of the local chapter of the Hell's Angels. The first two bands were virtual unknowns from Los Angeles. Tried hard to remember their names and can only remember one - Juicy Lucy. They were pretty average, and it was clear who most of the crowd had bought tickets to see. Had one scary moment when the crowd started rocking the wooden retaining fence just below the stage. So glad we got folks to back off. *whew*
Thanks for reacting to this song that calls on us to remember the heroes. Especially the ones from Vietnam. My experience was a 180 from what Vietnam veterans had to endure upon their return. God bless our military and help our leaders.
Just a few weeks back I was thinking about Mike Reno, (the lead singer for Loverboy, and the guy who sings the second and third verse) and I was like wait a minute, didn't he do a song with Sammy Hagar at one point? And then I remembered this and listened to it for the first time since it was new in 1983. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it sounded after all these years. It's a largely forgotten song and perfectly appropriate for this day. Thanks for reacting to it.
That's on my patriotic playlist, "Real Pride" and patriotic riding playlist, "Pride Ride Soundtrack". music.th-cam.com/play/PLlFrRPKzi7HjhY6IiJhRzH7YuVjFSmaHg.html&feature=share The link to the Spotify version is in the description.
Sammy Hagar cowrote this with Jonathan Cain of Journey who plays keys and sings back up. Mike Reno of Loverboy also sings harmony. 1982 from Three Lock Box, which I have on cassette from back then.
@@jen_alanfromchicago53 That is a little known album. I remember them having one video. Schon frrom Journey. School and Shrieve* from Santana and Aaronson who was a guy I recognized fir various groups but can't remember which anymore. I actually thought the S was for Journey's sometimes drummer Steve Smith.
Nice hearing you guys reacting to Sammy Hagar solo. I've been listening to Sammy since his days with Montrose (1973-1975) with hits like "Rock the Nation", "Space Station #5", "Bad Motor Scooter" & "Rock Candy". Sammy has so many great songs: "Cruisin' and Boozin'", "Turn Up the Music", "Red", "Rock 'N' Roll Weekend", "Turn Up the Music", "You Make Me Crazy", "Plain Jane", Trans Am (Highway Wonderland)", "Falling in Love", "This Planet's on Fire", "I'll Fall in Love Again", "There's Only One Way to Rock" , "Baby's on Fire", "Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy", "Two Sides of Love", "I Can't Drive 55"...and this is just 1975 to 1982!
The song that had the biggest impact on me while I was in the service was The Animals' Sky Pilot. Most of the names on the wall are guys who had no choice about going to war, they were selected by their neighbors. I volunteered to get a roof, a cot, and regular meals. Lucked out and spent my time in Bamberg.
A very fitting song for your Memorial Weekend. Another great song by Sammy. Hoping you had a great time and Remembered Your Heroes. 🇺🇲🇺🇲 Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦
Sammy is my all time favorite singer, from Montrose thru to Van Halen and on into his solo career and even into the super group HSAS he sings it all. Sammy has countless great songs and you almost can't go wrong listening to any of his songs. Love him. Seen him in concert 3 times in his solo career once with Van (Hagar) Halen also with the Wababiritos not sure of the spelling. Great show all of them.
I just started listening to your reaction to Sammy Hagar's Remember The Hero's. I asked for this a long time ago along with Pat Benatar's Hell Is For Children.
Salute to all the Heroes that died for us!!! And don't forget those that are scared for life. Sammy Hagar "RED" Studio version his 1st hit way back before Van Halen and still my favorite from him. It was with the Montrose Band. A real Banger.
God Bless all my Brothers and Sisters at Arms who have given everything to Defend and Protect the people of The USA and all nation's we have caught in and my Condolences to the families of all who Parished in the past and present time I love you all ❤️
Sammy is just fantastic at everything he does. He's truly The Red Rocker through and through. I never heard this before and it is a great tribute to our heroes. He has so many great songs in his solo and band career I would be listing songs all night. Where Eagles Fly is another inspirational song like this one. Top of the World with Van Halen is another one....
The patriotic rocker offered a poignant reminder that no matter what your position on war itself, it's important to acknowledge the sacrifices made by our soldiers.
@@surfeit5910, I was just curious, so I asked Google. This isn't exactly that, but check out the song, "Olive Branch", by the band, Songa. I saw that there is this about a soldier dying in Vietnam. Paper Lace - Billy Don't Be A Hero
Myself and my other Marine Corps buddies, laugh at people who say, "I Almost Joined The Marine Corps. " You don't almost volunteer for one of the most bad ass brand of service. Knowing you're heading straight to combat! Some of us gave, others gave the ultimate sacrifice! #Godblessthem
Thank you so much for this. Very refreshing to hear your heartfelt love for our hero’s and their families. I am an Air Force brat, my father was an Air Force pilot during Korea and Vietnam. I remember waking up for breakfast back in the 60’s and asking my Mom “where’s dad?”. “He’s working “. We knew what his work was, I had friends at six years old who’s fathers never came home from work. Very rare to hear understanding for military families from ones so young. You give me hope. Bless you. Oh, my father is still with us, we celebrated his 90th birthday on May 3rd! And he’s still smiling!
You definitely to listen to some more of Sammy Hagar. A older less played one that is great is Your love is driving me crazy. Heavy Metal and Give to Live were very popular. Eagles Fly is a little softer that Sammy dedicated to Eddie VanHalen at his outdoor concert after he passed away.
I found out that Eddie played bass on that album, so I added that and "Give To Live" to one of my playlists that's dedicated to Eddie Van Halen. The link to the Spotify version is in the description. music.th-cam.com/play/PLlFrRPKzi7Hj4oqgszTX0nm2HMyrgEUc1.html&feature=share
Sammy is actually an amazing artist...most of his best music has not been played on main stream radio...u really need to listen to more...Rise of the animal is another great one
Apparently, this was from 1982, just as Sammy Hagar was peaking as a solo artist from the 'Three lock box' album... Hagar is also an accomplish lead guitarist - because of his stint in Van Halen, his talent on guitar was overshadowed by Eddie Van Halen's status. His career is like the ultimate story of perseverance; u keep at it, no matter what the cost... and if u are really good at making music, the success will come eventually. Sammy Hagar had been singing since the late 60's before he recorded the first Montrose album in 1973 and experienced success for the first time... but he was fired in 1975 after just 2 albums (Montrose carried on w/ another singer before splitting up). Hagar recalled that in 1976, he was broke and had a family to support, but he picked up his guitar, started writing songs and got a new band together... got a new record deal and hit the road. By the late 70's, he had built a following from constant touring - a minor hit single 'Red' gave him the nickname 'The Red Rocker'... And it was his 1982 solo album 'Standing Hampton' that gave him a commercial hit and a platinum record. Sammy Hagar was peaking in 1985, but was considering quitting music when he got the call from Eddie Van Halen to replace David Lee Roth in Van Halen... he joined in 1986. Even after a messy split from Van Halen in 1996, Sammy Hagar returned to writing & recording music and has also built a massive fortune from various non-music projects, a TV show... he's 74 years old and still performing w/ former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony.
If no one's mentioned it, I'll go ahead & point out that this was a duet with Mike Reno, the lead singer of Loverboy. Loverboy's worth listening to, too. Maybe their song, 'Working for the Weekend'.
Totally agree with your sentiments, great song for this holiday. Sammy has been ripping it up since being in Montrose in the 70s.The first 2 Montrose albums are hard rock gold. For some more amazing guitar from Sammy, search for his solo live album and the killer track, Young Girl Blues Live. That man can play! Enjoy. 🎸
@@jefffaust89 It's a red album cover with Sammy Hagar in large, dark letters and some action pics in some of the letters. Search TH-cam.com for Young Girl Blues (Live) and it should come up, it's a real banger, bleeding guitar from Sammy. Enjoy. 🎸
I retired from the Army 10 years ago. It is just like a family. To this day I miss my soldiers. I get to see some of them from time to time. It is like we never missed a beat. Always welcomed and always leave as family. Thank you for the support you give my brothers and sisters that are still doing what they do.
Thank you for posting the ultimate rock and roll salute to those who sacrificed and paid for the lives and freedoms we have. I usually post this song on this day for family and friends to see...I had forgotten to do so this year...I'm going to remedy that.
I have that song on a couple of my patriotic playlists. Here's one. The link to the Spotify version is in the description. music.th-cam.com/play/PLlFrRPKzi7HjhY6IiJhRzH7YuVjFSmaHg.html&feature=share
@@madmanonwheels5150 I didn't know it either, but I thought 'damn, that sure sounds like Loverboy and not Sammy' then I looked it up. Sure enough. It's been a long, long time since I've heard this song and don't remember whether I actually knew that Mike Reno was singing most of this.
Sammy Hagar is a banger for sure! Don't know if y'all will do any other military themed songs soon, but Five Finger Death Punch's "Wrong Side of Heaven" hits hard. Also, Tim McGraw singing "If You're Reading This hits hard as well. Blessed Memorial Day. Remember the fallen. Hoo-ah
A song you might want to save for Veterans Day, since you didn't do it today: Billy Joel's "Goodnight Saigon", one of the most chilling songs about the Vietnam War out there. In live performances he gets actual vets to sing the chorus.
Another good Memorial Day song would have been Trace Adkins "Arlington" which is a song about a solider being buried an Arlington National Cemetery, Tim McGraw's "If You're Reading This" and Dixie Chicks "Traveling Solider" would have been 3 great songs for Memorial Day.
A great song, honestly didn’t know that from Sammy! Another great song about this theme, much more raw, is Gary Moore’s “Military Man”. Gary talks here from the soldier’s point of view and their families, naked and true, absolutely great! If you can try the live version from Stockholm 1987
Jonathan Cain (Journey's keyboardist) is the co-writer of this amazing song!!! Other songs from 'The Red Rocker' are ....... 'I'll Fall In Love Again, Three Lock Box, There's Only One Way To Rock, Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy, Heavy Metal and Never Give Up!'
Heavy Metal, Baby's on Fire, Three Lock Box, Bad Motor Scooter, Red, Trans Am, and so many more. Sammy Live in 1985 is one of my top 5 concerts of all time. And I've seen hundreds. More Sammy!
Another good song is Bon Jovi "Unbroken" written for a documentary film "To Be Of Service" and talks about the post traumatic syndrome the military get after war. Amazing and very profound lyrics that touch the soul of who suffers this syndrome.
Great song and thoughts/sentiment on this track... i love the early Sammy solo stuff. Standing Hampton and Three Lock Box both have some really great tunes on them. I've seen Sammy a number of times live, solo and with VH and he always made sure to thank our military and first responders.
This song was on his 1982 album Three Lock Box. I always assumed it was about Viet Nam veterans. The early 80’s Americans were beginning to recognize the contributions and plight of Vietnam veterans in movies & music. Other great songs from the era: Still In Saigon, Charlie Daniels Band; Bruce Springsteen, Born in the USA; Stevie Wonder, Front Line, and Billy Joel, Goodnight Saigon. All of these songs were released within a two year period.
MORE SAMMY IS A MUST!!! Your love is driving me crazy Rock Candy I'll fall in love again There's only one way to rock Eagles fly Winner takes it all Give to live I can't drive 55 Then there are many Van Halen (Van Hagar) hits, my favorites that were lesser played : Take me back (DejaVu) Cabo Wabo Humans being Summer nights Feels so good Amsterdam Top of the world Take me back (DejaVu) is possibly my favorite of the lesser known songs.
I was 17 when this song came out. I was living with my uncle Mike, who fought in Viet Nam as a Marine. I only asked him about the experience once. He didn’t want to talk about it. I never asked again.
I don’t know if you have done any Toby Keith songs yet but American Soldier is a great song honoring our service members. My husband served 21 years in the Army and we have been together for all of it. We have been exceptionally fortunate to not have lost any personal friends in combat. But there have definitely been fellow soldiers lost from the forts we were stationed at. Every military family member lives in fear of that knock on the door from the notification team.
You REALLY NEED to listen and watch Van Halen w/ Sammy Hagar doing Sammy's solo song (ONE WAY TO ROCK) LIVE! From the show (LIVE WITHOUT A NET) Trust Me Jay and Amber Giving you both a GEM!
The very best album to honor our military, Queensryche: American Soldier, each song its a story from a soldier, you really need to hear the whole album
In Canada we honour our veterans and war dead on Remembrance Day, Nov.11th, the anniversary of Armistice Day, the end of WWI in 1918. I always think of 'Brothers In Arms' by Dire straits. Great, gorgeous heart-rending song.
R.I.P to all the fallen soldiers & condolences to the families of the fallen soldiers. Huge respect to their courage under fire.😎👌❤️😢🌹 Thank you aswell to the soldiers who survived combat.❤️🌹
You should try "Rock Candy" by Montrose. Sammy was lead singer and played rhythm guitar. This was pre Van Halen and Sammy was just a young pup! Ronnie Montrose was an excellent guitarist. RIP
SAMMY HAGAR has alot of great solo songs foresure a rabbit hole yous should go down! Just to mention a few songs Red. Rock And Roll Weekend, I'll fall in love again, Love or money, Burn in hell, Mas Tequila And Iv'e done everything for you, Heavy Metal.Three Lock Box there so many songs!
Listen closely. It's not Sammy on lead vocals, it's what's his face from Loverboy, shoot I forgot his name. Ok I looked it up, Mike Reno. Sammy usually sings his own songs but he has a guest on this one. Their voices are about the same frequency but Sammy's voice is a little grittier.
"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived." -George S. Patton. Awesome tribute tonight, you two! Gob bless you and your future.
Other songs by Sammy... the Red Rocker! "Mas Tequila" "Can't Get Loose" "I'll Fall In Love Again" Very Early in his career he was in a band called Montrose... A song by them you could listen to is "Rock Candy". Sammy also took over as the front man in Van Halen after David Lee Roth left the group in 1985. One of the songs from that era "Love Walks In" or "Why Can't This Be Love". Then Sammy also was in a super group called Chickenfoot... he was the lead singer, Joe Satriani was the guitarist... Michael Anthony the bassist from Van Halen... and Chad Smith... the drummer from Red Hot Chili Peppers. Edit: I just remembered another Montrose song... "Bad Motor Scooter" Sammy wrote the song when he was in the group so you will find versions while he was in Montrose and versions when he was a solo artist.
That's on a couple of my patriotic playlists. Here's one of them. music.th-cam.com/play/PLlFrRPKzi7HjhY6IiJhRzH7YuVjFSmaHg.html&feature=share The link to the Spotify version is in the description.

AMEN!!!
Hell no . may they rot in he..ll , they responsible for killing millions of people in other countries
This is Sammy and Mike Reno, from Loverboy. Awesome song! 🙂
"Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy" off the same album is also fantastic. The album is called "Three Lock Box" definitely worth a listen to the full album. Sammy is definitely a rocker and he can play guitar as well.
I love love love Sammy Hagar. From when he was with Montrose, to Van Halen, Chickenfoot and the Circle. It's hard to believe he's in his 70's and can still sing and perform. When he sings I feel it
Great album Al!
The rise of the animal was a bad ass song off this album as well.
You guys have to react to the song heavy metal, the lead track on the animated movie heavy-metal from the 70s. Absolutely a hard rocking songs by Sammy
I first saw Sammy when he was fronting for Montrose (RIP). This was 51 years ago when I was only 15.
Been a fan ever since.
Those first 2 Montrose albums with Sammy are Hall of Fame worthy and influenced all rockers after, killer stuff.
nice would have been amazing to see him fronting montrose, im only 40 with 7 years experiance seems like your 50 with 16 years experiance :)

Thanks for reacting to this song that calls on us to remember the heroes. Especially the ones from Vietnam. My experience was a 180 from what Vietnam veterans had to endure upon their return. God bless our military and help our leaders.
Mike Reno, the vocalist from Loverboy sings the co-vocal part. Their voices together mesh beautifully to pay respect. God Bless America.
Sammy is a rabbit hole of great songs you must go down.

Sammy Hagar has an entire library of awesome albums.
You could listen to Standing Hampton or Three Lock Box and never reach for the skip button.
HSAS - Through the Fire. That album rocks. Valley of the Kings - Giza
We all got our lot to lose.
My dad was an MIA/POW in Vietnam. My love and respect goes out to ALL of our troops! God bless ALL of you
As a combat veteran I want to thank you for playing this! Please remember the fallen and show respect for those who serve! Sempre Fi! Ohra!!
To all who gave their lives in the line of service, I salute you. Another essential Memorial Day song is Some Gave All by Billy Cyrus.

The phrase “All Gav Some, & Some Gav All” is an understatement, most DON’t git it, freedom is not free, my oldest brother gav th ultimate as a USMC

Sammy hagar served in the military. He's been solo since the 70s. His standing Hampton album was awesome. It came out in 81
one of my favorite song by him is give to live.

Thank you for your service. God bless your five team members who made the ultimate sacrifice.
God Bless you ❤️ Thank you for your service !! My Heroes ! 🤟🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
There is so many great songs honoring they brave men and women who fought and lost their lives so we could have the freedom a lot take for granted.
"who fought and lost their lives... Prior to Vietnam" There. I corrected it for you.
@@surfeit5910,
I was just curious, so I asked Google. This isn't exactly that, but check out the song, "Olive Branch", by the band, Songa.

Sammy Hagar… singing.. “Marching to Mars”. It is such a great song…
Also "Who Has The Right"
Another good Sammy Hagar song is "Two sides of love".I think you might like it.
HEAVY METAL, I'LL FALL IN LOVE AGAIN, YOUR LOVE IS DRIVIVING ME CRAZY, 3 LOCK BOX, HANDS AND KNEES ARE ALL AWESOME SOLO SAMMY HAGAR.
Thank you so much for this. Very refreshing to hear your heartfelt love for our hero’s and their families. I am an Air Force brat, my father was an Air Force pilot during Korea and Vietnam. I remember waking up for breakfast back in the 60’s and asking my Mom “where’s dad?”.
“He’s working “.
We knew what his work was, I had friends at six years old who’s fathers never came home from work.
Very rare to hear understanding for military families from ones so young.
You give me hope. Bless you.
Oh, my father is still with us, we celebrated his 90th birthday on May 3rd!
And he’s still smiling!
You definitely to listen to some more of Sammy Hagar. A older less played one that is great is Your love is driving me crazy. Heavy Metal and Give to Live were very popular. Eagles Fly is a little softer that Sammy dedicated to Eddie VanHalen at his outdoor concert after he passed away.
I found out that Eddie played bass on that album, so I added that and "Give To Live" to one of my playlists that's dedicated to Eddie Van Halen. The link to the Spotify version is in the description.

This tune also features Mike Reno from Loverboy on vocals with Sammy and Johnathan Cain from Journey !
Mike Reno is definitely on this!
I didn't know that. That's cool.
Shoutout to Mike Reno from Loverboy who is singing duet with Sammy.
Other great Sammy Hagar songs, plane Jane...rock and roll weekend... Red, among others.
Sammy is actually an amazing artist...most of his best music has not been played on main stream radio...u really need to listen to more...Rise of the animal is another great one
Amen!!! Sammy Hagar is a classy guy!! This song is priceless
Probably my favorite Hagar tune. So much heart in this one.
Another powerful one is from Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush "Stories Of A Hero"
More Sammy please. Anything off Three lock box or Standing Hampton is fire.
Shout out to Mike Reno who shares vocals with Sammy.
As a veteran I appreciate you two for your patriotism. This one brought tears to my eyes, so thank you very much!! God Bless!
Apparently, this was from 1982, just as Sammy Hagar was peaking as a solo artist from the 'Three lock box' album... Hagar is also an accomplish lead guitarist - because of his stint in Van Halen, his talent on guitar was overshadowed by Eddie Van Halen's status.
His career is like the ultimate story of perseverance; u keep at it, no matter what the cost... and if u are really good at making music, the success will come eventually. Sammy Hagar had been singing since the late 60's before he recorded the first Montrose album in 1973 and experienced success for the first time... but he was fired in 1975 after just 2 albums (Montrose carried on w/ another singer before splitting up).
Hagar recalled that in 1976, he was broke and had a family to support, but he picked up his guitar, started writing songs and got a new band together... got a new record deal and hit the road. By the late 70's, he had built a following from constant touring - a minor hit single 'Red' gave him the nickname 'The Red Rocker'... And it was his 1982 solo album 'Standing Hampton' that gave him a commercial hit and a platinum record. Sammy Hagar was peaking in 1985, but was considering quitting music when he got the call from Eddie Van Halen to replace David Lee Roth in Van Halen... he joined in 1986.
Even after a messy split from Van Halen in 1996, Sammy Hagar returned to writing & recording music and has also built a massive fortune from various non-music projects, a TV show... he's 74 years old and still performing w/ former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony.
If no one's mentioned it, I'll go ahead & point out that this was a duet with Mike Reno, the lead singer of Loverboy. Loverboy's worth listening to, too. Maybe their song, 'Working for the Weekend'.
I was in the army and I respect veterans more than anyone else,so all I can say is thank you for playing this it means so much.
Totally agree with your sentiments, great song for this holiday. Sammy has been ripping it up since being in Montrose in the 70s.The first 2 Montrose albums are hard rock gold. For some more amazing guitar from Sammy, search for his solo live album and the killer track, Young Girl Blues Live. That man can play! Enjoy. 🎸
What live album is that?
@@jefffaust89 It's a red album cover with Sammy Hagar in large, dark letters and some action pics in some of the letters. Search TH-cam.com for Young Girl Blues (Live) and it should come up, it's a real banger, bleeding guitar from Sammy. Enjoy. 🎸
I retired from the Army 10 years ago. It is just like a family. To this day I miss my soldiers. I get to see some of them from time to time. It is like we never missed a beat. Always welcomed and always leave as family. Thank you for the support you give my brothers and sisters that are still doing what they do.
Thank you for your career, brother. I was active duty Army 90-94. Disposable Heroes by Metallica was my platoon’s theme song.
Thank you for posting the ultimate rock and roll salute to those who sacrificed and paid for the lives and freedoms we have. I usually post this song on this day for family and friends to see...I had forgotten to do so this year...I'm going to remedy that.
Billy Ray Cyrus' song "Some Gave All" is a wonderful song for Memorial Day, and every day we want to remember those who gave so much for us.
👍😃❣️
I have that song on a couple of my patriotic playlists. Here's one. The link to the Spotify version is in the description.
music.th-cam.com/play/PLlFrRPKzi7HjhY6IiJhRzH7YuVjFSmaHg.html&feature=share
Mike Reno (Loverboy lead singer) did most of the vocals. Sammy was doing background vocals.
Jonathan Cain from Journey was on keyboards.
I didn't know that, although I heard Sammy singing a lot of lead vocals.
@@madmanonwheels5150 I didn't know it either, but I thought 'damn, that sure sounds like Loverboy and not Sammy' then I looked it up. Sure enough.
It's been a long, long time since I've heard this song and don't remember whether I actually knew that Mike Reno was singing most of this.
@@thebronzetoo,
Hmm. It's really hard to believe. I never thought of Mike Reno sounding like anyone else. The same goes for Sammy Hagar.
Sammy Hagar is a banger for sure!
Don't know if y'all will do any other military themed songs soon, but Five Finger Death Punch's "Wrong Side of Heaven" hits hard.
Also, Tim McGraw singing "If You're Reading This hits hard as well.
Blessed Memorial Day. Remember the fallen.
Hoo-ah
Saw hagar in the 80s, saw him in 2020. Still sounds just as good
A song you might want to save for Veterans Day, since you didn't do it today: Billy Joel's "Goodnight Saigon", one of the most chilling songs about the Vietnam War out there. In live performances he gets actual vets to sing the chorus.
Another good Memorial Day song would have been Trace Adkins "Arlington" which is a song about a solider being buried an Arlington National Cemetery, Tim McGraw's "If You're Reading This" and Dixie Chicks "Traveling Solider" would have been 3 great songs for Memorial Day.
This song always gives me the chills. Good choice.
A great song, honestly didn’t know that from Sammy! Another great song about this theme, much more raw, is Gary Moore’s “Military Man”. Gary talks here from the soldier’s point of view and their families, naked and true, absolutely great! If you can try the live version from Stockholm 1987
Cool
I'm checking out the song, now.
This is such a touching song! Thank you to anyone who is serving or served the best country in the world 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Jonathan Cain (Journey's keyboardist) is the co-writer of this amazing song!!!
Other songs from 'The Red Rocker' are ....... 'I'll Fall In Love Again, Three Lock Box, There's Only One Way To Rock, Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy, Heavy Metal and Never Give Up!'
Sammy Hagar has an awesome autobiography, The Red Rocker. I have no way of knowing, but it feels more honest than most.
While we’re on TH-cam relaxing, remember everyone who died so we could be here watching these videos.🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🗽🗽
YES!! 🥰❣️🥰
Exactly
Heavy Metal, Baby's on Fire, Three Lock Box, Bad Motor Scooter, Red, Trans Am, and so many more. Sammy Live in 1985 is one of my top 5 concerts of all time. And I've seen hundreds. More Sammy!
Another good song is Bon Jovi "Unbroken" written for a documentary film "To Be Of Service" and talks about the post traumatic syndrome the military get after war. Amazing and very profound lyrics that touch the soul of who suffers this syndrome.
Great song and thoughts/sentiment on this track... i love the early Sammy solo stuff. Standing Hampton and Three Lock Box both have some really great tunes on them. I've seen Sammy a number of times live, solo and with VH and he always made sure to thank our military and first responders.
Sammy nice pick thanks guys🎙😎✌️(Alvin Lee “bluest blue”)southside OG
This song was on his 1982 album Three Lock Box. I always assumed it was about Viet Nam veterans. The early 80’s Americans were beginning to recognize the contributions and plight of Vietnam veterans in movies & music. Other great songs from the era: Still In Saigon, Charlie Daniels Band; Bruce Springsteen, Born in the USA; Stevie Wonder, Front Line, and Billy Joel, Goodnight Saigon. All of these songs were released within a two year period.
Does anyone in Rock have more fun than Sammy! React to his song Heavy Metal.
From the sixties you might want to listen to Ballad Of The Green Beret's by SSgt. Barry Sadler.
YES!! 👍😃❣️
@@teresajarrell452 Thanks! ✌️
MORE SAMMY IS A MUST!!!
Your love is driving me crazy
Rock Candy
I'll fall in love again
There's only one way to rock
Eagles fly
Winner takes it all
Give to live
I can't drive 55
Then there are many Van Halen (Van Hagar) hits, my favorites that were lesser played :
Take me back (DejaVu)
Cabo Wabo
Humans being
Summer nights
Feels so good
Amsterdam
Top of the world
Take me back (DejaVu) is possibly my favorite of the lesser known songs.
I was 17 when this song came out. I was living with my uncle Mike, who fought in Viet Nam as a Marine. I only asked him about the experience once. He didn’t want to talk about it. I never asked again.
I don’t know if you have done any Toby Keith songs yet but American Soldier is a great song honoring our service members.
My husband served 21 years in the Army and we have been together for all of it.
We have been exceptionally fortunate to not have lost any personal friends in combat. But there have definitely been fellow soldiers lost from the forts we were stationed at. Every military family member lives in fear of that knock on the door from the notification team.
Daughtry…. Home 🏠
Sammy Hagar’s solo music is awesome. I liked it most when David Lee Roth was with Van Halen and Sammy was the Red Rocker. Check out I Don’t Need Love
Mike Reno from Loverboy is doing this duet with Sammy. Jonathan Caine from Journey is playing the keyboard.
I am a vet and ty for the things u have said
You REALLY NEED to listen and watch Van Halen w/ Sammy Hagar doing Sammy's solo song (ONE WAY TO ROCK) LIVE! From the show (LIVE WITHOUT A NET) Trust Me Jay and Amber
Giving you both a GEM!
Sammy's "The Girl Gets Around" is another good one. It was a single he did for the Footloose movie soundtrack.
The very best album to honor our military, Queensryche: American Soldier, each song its a story from a soldier, you really need to hear the whole album
In Canada we honour our veterans and war dead on Remembrance Day, Nov.11th, the anniversary of Armistice Day, the end of WWI in 1918. I always think of 'Brothers In Arms' by Dire straits. Great, gorgeous heart-rending song.
Very nice. Thank you.
R.I.P to all the fallen soldiers & condolences to the families of the fallen soldiers. Huge respect to their courage under fire.😎👌❤️😢🌹 Thank you aswell to the soldiers who survived combat.❤️🌹
I requested this song for two holidays in a row & then the radio station, X-Rock 1039 in Indiana, plays it automatically now.
You should try "Rock Candy" by Montrose. Sammy was lead singer and played rhythm guitar. This was pre Van Halen and Sammy was just a young pup! Ronnie Montrose was an excellent guitarist. RIP
SAMMY HAGAR has alot of great solo songs foresure a rabbit hole yous should go down! Just to mention a few songs Red. Rock And Roll Weekend, I'll fall in love again, Love or money, Burn in hell, Mas Tequila And Iv'e done everything for you, Heavy Metal.Three Lock Box there so many songs!
Some other songs appropriate for today:
Billy Ray Cyrus - Some Gave All
Tim McGraw - If You're Reading This
Trace Adkins - Arlington
🇺🇸❤️
love this vid and thx for posting it. lets remember the hero's!
Yes! I'm guessing that y'all saw my comment. I'm so glad that y'all listened to this. Good Stuff
Listen closely. It's not Sammy on lead vocals, it's what's his face from Loverboy, shoot I forgot his name.
Ok I looked it up, Mike Reno. Sammy usually sings his own songs but he has a guest on this one. Their voices are about the same frequency but Sammy's voice is a little grittier.
Interesting. I never heard this before
@@MichaelSmith-wb1es,
Me either
It's hard to believe, though, because it sounds like Sammy.
Amazing song 🎵
"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived."
-George S. Patton. Awesome tribute tonight, you two! Gob bless you and your future.
Families and friends would disagree with him and that sentiment.
@@madmanonwheels5150 If you are an atheist then it doesn't make sense to you.
Three Lock Box is another great Sammy song
Other songs by Sammy... the Red Rocker! "Mas Tequila" "Can't Get Loose" "I'll Fall In Love Again" Very Early in his career he was in a band called Montrose... A song by them you could listen to is "Rock Candy". Sammy also took over as the front man in Van Halen after David Lee Roth left the group in 1985. One of the songs from that era "Love Walks In" or "Why Can't This Be Love". Then Sammy also was in a super group called Chickenfoot... he was the lead singer, Joe Satriani was the guitarist... Michael Anthony the bassist from Van Halen... and Chad Smith... the drummer from Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Edit: I just remembered another Montrose song... "Bad Motor Scooter" Sammy wrote the song when he was in the group so you will find versions while he was in Montrose and versions when he was a solo artist.
Another great patriotic song to honor our troops is "Some Gave All" by Billy Ray Cyrus.
That's on a couple of my patriotic playlists. Here's one of them.
