This is why I was a Rush fan. Sam three guys for 40+ years. Never fought, never went on stage drunk or stoned, married to the same girls their entire lives. Never had to worry about them. They just made music and didn't burden anyone with fights and squabbles. About the only band who can make this claim.
Does it really matter, when Ed is gone? No band? Mo more music? It breaks my heart that we all live in a world without Eddie Van Halen. Let Ed rest in peace..
Despite fame & fortune I can’t comprehend the Pressure Edward must have been under being touted arguably the most influential guitar player in modern day history. And Poor Sam , every day of his life being compared to that Lightning Bolt that was David Lee Roth‼️
This whole thing sucks you couldn't ask for two nicer guys Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar I feel real bad for Michael what kind of got screwed in this whole deal and was caught in the middle and I know Alex isn't very happy right now about their tour which I know in my heart that is coming from the right place as far as Sammy and Michael we're doing it for the right reasons it sucks that Alex can't get involved with it so they're just got to be more to the story that will probably never ever know because I even thought Wolfgang might make appearance which would be awesome
The term "kicking a dead horse" does not apply in this case any way at all, I have been fortunate enough to have seen VH 8 times in a row starting in 80' all shows in StL MO, 4 with DLR then 4 with Sammy, all shows ROCKED. The first concert I went to was in 79' I was 13, The Scorpions, Pat Travers and Sammy. Sam, if the things happened, Ed is gone, you were fortunate enough to speak with him before he passed, Mikey wasn't, is a book in the making? Are you broke...
Don,t care for all the b.s.Remember when Hendrix passed,a lot of misinformation,but some who perpetrated it,now rehash their craft in obscurity,not a good career legacy
76-statiom, intersection coldwater/ventura blvd, couple within us kids worked there every summer, school out summer job. Eddie was a repeat regular customer, arrived approx 1-2 weeks. Eddie the so called mean person, along with the lead mechanic at that point time planned a surprise for two of us kids/employees. Eddie provided auto-graphed diver down cassettes, to be given as christmas gifts. We all of course wanted to ask eddie towards his auto-graph, but guidelines/rules were not to ask, to bother him. Eddie did this himself, his idea, with help from station owner. The so called mean person eddie. Why would a person such as eddie, even consider planning, giving, also timed to provide this one of a kind christmas gifts, if such a mean person.
Let him rest in peace.sammy just wants to stay in the spot light. You don't see Mike always on u tube .and he was Thier from the beginning.. maybe Sam can't write new music.let it go sam let it Go
The Van Halen brothers were kind of weird people to begin with. Maybe Eddie did feel that way. I'm sure his addiction played a major part in it. I believe these constant videos are trying to drum up some drama by introducing the same thing over and over. Can't these people let sleeping dogs lie?
@@Lengsel7 I lived it, and in its own way it killed rock music. At one point it was pure theatre with the lightning fast tapping and picking with absolutely no content to the music. This wasnt heavy music like the 60s and 70s, it was pop. Cmon Jamie's crying and jump? The first album was a new sound and devastating with that bright guitar, but anything after that was nothing but pure theatre of a dude that played guitar differently. Just listen to it now.
@@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921I listen to it all the time and to this day it still Rocks! I guess you just don't appreciate good music! Edward was more than just solos. One of the best rhythm guitar players ever. And you never realized what a great drummer Alex is. Mike's bass lines and backing vocals. And then the ring leader DLR's lyrics, vocals and showmanship making him one of the best frontmen of all time... You missed out on great time in rock history. To each his own! I don't know of one really good rock or metal band that doesn't love VH's music and aren't fan! 🔴⚪⚫
It's odd to me that all this Eddie Bashing has just came out over the past couple years. I guess they felt they needed to keep it hush while everyone was still alive and kicking so not to tarnish anyone's reputation. However it just seems like it was always Ed that was wrapped up in some feud with someone. The stories just keep coming out. It's amazing what alcohol, drugs and fame can do to a person. I saw VH in around 94 or 95, front row seats and Eddie was a mess, he could barely play and looked like he was ready to collapse. One of the worst concerts I ever attended. The band was not happy.
Van Halen has a few very good songs and a lot of great solos. But that's about it. I didn't buy any of their albums after the first one. Other bands like the "Blizzard of Ozz", Rush, Sabbath with Dio and Gillan were putting out much better songs.
Obviously that's your opinion... But to the millions of VH fans around the world myself being one of them. I would have to disagree! And btw, nobody calls the band Blizzard of Ozz except you and maybe 3 other people! 🙏🏻🔴⚪⚫👑
Hagar's a sack of crap ! Hagar talked shit about Ronnie Montrose after Montrose died, then he talked shit about Eddie Van Halen ! Yeah Sammy Hagar...always a class act ! LOL !!!!!!
You are a sack of 💩... Sammy Hagar is a good man and never did anything was defend himself and speak truth. Eddie and Alex both were assholes and bad mouthed a lot of people, Look at how they treated Mikey one of the most gracious and coolest people you could ever meet ... It takes a turd to talk about people they don't know.

Don't forget it didn't matter who wrote the song, they split all the monies evenly, I think that helped as well.
Ooh good for you.😂😂
@@barbaraperfetti-vn1sm That doesn't even make sense, especially if your just being rude.
They used tapes and hidden musicians without bickering.
@@markpreston6930 and you have this on tape?
I'm sick of ALL this soap opera! Eddie is gone and van Halen is gone. Enough!!!!
Sam should just shut up already
Yeah well no one asked you to listen, go away
Exactly
The more he opens his mouth the worse he looks.
The music will never die VH4EVER
Does it really matter, when Ed is gone? No band? Mo more music? It breaks my heart that we all live in a world without Eddie Van Halen. Let Ed rest in peace..
The man is dead move on. Let the guy rest in peace.

They gotta let it die, Eddie is gone and can’t defend himself,
Eddie was jealous of Meecheel.
Whoever HE is!
Nobody cares about the drama.VanHalen was great with Roth and Sammy.
It was great while it lasted
I miss Eddie
All you have to do is listen to the van halen bros interviews& its easy to see they were powertrippin SELF CENTERED DRAMA QUEENS
ALL BULL SHIT. Rest On Love ya EvH
I wasn't DEVASTATED at all. Not even just a little bit.
This whole thing sucks you couldn't ask for two nicer guys Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar I feel real bad for Michael what kind of got screwed in this whole deal and was caught in the middle and I know Alex isn't very happy right now about their tour which I know in my heart that is coming from the right place as far as Sammy and Michael we're doing it for the right reasons it sucks that Alex can't get involved with it so they're just got to be more to the story that will probably never ever know because I even thought Wolfgang might make appearance which would be awesome
Saw sammy,michael,satriani& bonham ROCKIN IN RIDGEFIELD,WA.AWESOME SHOW🤟THE POWERTRIPPIN SELF CENTERED DRAMA QUEEN VH BROS WERE NOT MISSED
Sammy will be forever tormented by the Van Halen bros experiment stage... Eddie's gone but the torment for Sammy lingers on,and on and on.....
Spammy is a second grade singer like Vince Neil, John Mellancamp and Rick Springfield and won't admit it.
Did they really make peace or was it all in Sammy's head?

Show pictures of a Howard Stern interview, but don't play the interview clip, lame.

That gas station is a rip off tho 😂

Cuz when Dave left. VH ended according to Alex. Van Hagar isn't the same

Eddie Van Halen great guitarist, lousy human being!😢
Van Halen had some good songs, but it was really just a pop band with loud guitar.
Crap comment.

@@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921 I disagree. Fair Warning is a great Heavy Metal album.

Yea, they just a flash is the pan. What an idiotic thing to write.
Hagar's a sack of crap !
Hagar talked shit about Ronnie Montrose after Montrose died, then he talked shit about Eddie Van Halen !
Yeah Sammy Hagar...always a class act !
LOL !!!!!!

We don't care what Sammy big mouth has to say anymore
You can't speak for everyone, Sammy was spot on in his assessment of Eddie or Alex..
Misjiel?
bASSist?? Aaaahahaha
Hagar= false friend. Without Van Halen he has zero success
really? zero? so youre saying those have all been mannequins showing up to his shows throughout his solo career?
Zero? Obviously the only thing you know about "zero" is your whole existence is a zero.
Eddie changed rock and Sammy sang songs about going 55 like 1980 big whoop .he should have never hired sam.
Sold more albums than with Dave alot more and more number one hits. That speaks for itself
Nobody cares Eddie is gone
eddy didnt want to be sammy. sam wanted to be ed.
said no one ever......
Look what they did to Michael.. Just horrible people...
