I don't know what shows you saw that year pal. But he was a mess on stage.He didn't play one single show without making tons and mistakes. We all saw it. The back stage stuff.He probably could have kept to himself. But come on dude he was a disaster. He was an alcoholic and he was out of control. He was treating a lot of people like shit. These are facts. He was a great guitar player, but he had some demons.
@@jeffswank9018 That was all a lie those text messages were the nurse looking after Eddie. Eddie couldn't see for the last 3-4 months of his life no way he used a mobile to text...
It’s pretty obvious that Alex is pissed over Sammy’s book and what he said about the brothers, I like both VH versions as it was Eddie’s guitar that was the spark that ignited the band. I do however think Alex should have included the Sammy years as it’s part of the band’s history, it would compete the story. Hopefully they can all make peace before they aren’t here anymore. Time waits for nobody.
He's a functioning alcoholic and would of been ALL washed up playing I can't drive 55 FN 5 for the rest of his career if it wasn't for Ed and Al's magic!
When Ed Leffler passed away, that was the beginning of the end for Van Halen. He knew how to keep the peace and when he passed there was nobody to deal with the Sam/Eddie/Alex egos,.
The one issue Sammy made a point of here, Alex always had Eddie there, they never played with anyone else, they never did any solo projects, Sammy came from Montrose then started his solo career, d
Hagar has a lot to say after-the-fact of the Van Halen saga. Sammy was an integral part of Van Halen in-time when the band was taking a new direction. That is all rock and roll history now well-on into the 21st century. It's over for good now and Alex VH has staked his claim the original band is long since finished. It was the Van Halen brothers enterprise from the beginning, Roth, Cherone or Hagar means absolutely nothing to Alex in 2024. So be it.
Sorry it accidentally closed on me, from Montrose then started his solo career and has worked with other people as well up until he joined Van Halen. I could type about this subject for hours but Sammy just needs to give Alex time to work through whatever issues he's dealing the at his own pace and just respect the fact that the group as the fans knew is over and should anything develops from any of those recordings he left behind I'm sure when he's ready to be will but everyone deals with loss differently.
Alex stated his dad gave them beer when they were 6 years old! The brothers were raging alcoholics with all kinds of childhood baggage. Alex also said he didn’t always get along with Ed....
Sammy, hurry up and get your goofy Best Of Both Worlds touring thing done already ?! Do a Montrose thing and leave the Van Halen thing to rest? just shuddup, and get in the studio and do some original music with you and Mike and then go out and tour "Sammy and Mike Do Montrose"! just get out of here with this Van Halen gig Sammy! Van Halen has been over for 9 years.....LET IT GOOOOOO!
Sammy show up in his house unannounced that's what I would do I wouldn't take no for an answer set it up so he has to meet you somewhere and maybe he doesn't know you're there and you just walk over to him
Let's be clear, Alex and Eddie all the talent and whatever, they had a European point of view! I think in so many ways they was kinda socialy awkward...and most importantly not very faithful to ther coworkers.
Absolutely! Their dad gave them beer at six years old and as children they were always amongst their dads adult company....they very seldom socialized with kids....and this is a Alex’s story...
Even at Van Halen's peak Eddie and Alex lived beyond their means with bad investments and very expensive party favors. Those guys have no business smarts at all. this is why Alex is selling his stuff and writing books. He needs money to support his lifestyle. Just sayin
Sure….and you’re their accountant. They were millions in debt due to a bad contract to start their careers. Warner brosNoel Monk got them out of it. That lasted not very long
Maybe Sammy shouldn’t have talked trash about Ed! Alex is taking the high road and not saying shit ! Too bad it all went down but it did !
The truth is not “trash talking”. Grow up.
Eddie forgave Sammy Alex should too
@ - People keep asking about it. Grow up.

Odd how Sammy talks about Alex every chance he gets yet Alex doesn’t say a word about him anywhere he goes!
People keep asking him about it. Get over yourself.
I love Sammy… but for fucks sake just let it go already!!
More verbal diarrhoea from the human headline.
Hey Sam leave the guy alone. Hes done with you Don’t you get it . Go away

Poor lil Sammy
Yes and AVH is going to be fine.
Typical Sammy. Always about him!

As they say, Don't call us We will call you. Get over it. Let it go
Ohhhh please.. Alex is fine, he has a back situation. Just listen to his recent interviews. Hes having a Blast !!😎
Sammy spent more time signing autographs DURING CONCERTS than he did performing and letting Eddie BE EDDIE - - THAT is why the HATE HIM

Sammy is an arrogant old man and none of this has anything to do with anyone
Other than himself

Sammy is such a drama queen. Van Halen sucked when he was their frontman! He needs to learn to let s*** go!
Watch just one interview with Eddie, he is the king and queen of drama
Whatever Dave. It sucked when Roth was frontman.
Alex stated his dad gave them beer when they were 6 years old! The brothers were raging alcoholics with all kinds of childhood baggage. Alex also said he didn’t always get along with Ed....
Alex is worn out. Drumming competitively at that level for as long as he has Jeezuzz! Let him have his sit. Alex has given us enough.
just like wolf said VH is dun ,
these guys need to go and do something else .
they want to milk those songs as long as they can .
time to stop back selling the music and move on. you can see how the VH camp is .
It burns down to Sammy being too honest in his book oh well life has ups and downs what are you going to do get over it
Al cant play any more. The good thing for Al, everyday is Saturday. For Sam and Mike, keep doing
Sammy, hurry up and get your goofy Best Of Both Worlds touring thing done already ?! Do a Montrose thing and leave the Van Halen thing to rest? just shuddup, and get in the studio and do some original music with you and Mike and then go out and tour "Sammy and Mike Do Montrose"! just get out of here with this Van Halen gig Sammy!

Hagar just like Jason Bonham
What did Bonham do wrong?
@kingtrance307 he decided to do Led Zeppelin thing after the van Halen tour and Sammy fired him Jason took time off because his mother was ill
Sammy keeps digging a bigger hole!
All these dopey fans who live in their mom’s basement trash Sammy as if they know what is going on. Alex should mend fences Sammy.
Sammy sucks
Sammy made the brothers relize they were just crazy broken artists. Little jagged pill to swallow.

Alex has over $100 million in his bank account
How do you know? His lifestyle? He is over 70 years old-do you think he is doing blow and chasing tail?
And you know this fo a fact? Are you Alex’s accountant?
You are sadly mistaken about that. Alex has a ton of money.
