Same here man.

@TAX COW FARTS no shit

No shi t shirlock LOL

God damn right.

​@@frontcentermusician Sherlock* If you're gonna be condescending you could at least spell the most famous detective in history's name correctly...

​@@MainPrismShirley you can't be serious.

@@Fearzero I am, and don't call me Shirley.

I have an axis in the shop getting refretted right now, can't wait to get it back!

Ironically, he ditched it in less than a year for the Peavey Wolfgang. He started transitioning right around this time, using a Peavey live for "Not Enough". After '95 he was never seen playing a Music Man, again. Pity. It's the best signature guitar he ever produced. I LOVE my amber '93.

@@e.l.norton The official reason was Ed wanted a company that could greater mass produce his Wolfgang to meet demand, but I think his affair with Mr Sterling’s wife may have played a bigger role in the split with EBMM lol.

New? Lol wut.

He had that EBMM since 1990, actually.

Soooooo Glad sammy is Gone and Dave's back...

Sooooo - asshats that cant play or make videos use this site to antagonize; thats fucked Jimi jerk off. That is a difference of opinion, and they are like assholes...

@@jimiguitar6324 Dave wasn't even back when you made this comment. It took 16 years after the break with Sammy for them to get with Dave and it only lasted a year because Dave is an asshole. Then again, Eddie and Alex are assholes too. It's a lot of assholes dealing with each other. They were way better off with Sammy and they screwed themselves.

@@jimiguitar6324 You must be tone deaf like Roth....

@@YT0091 wdym it lasted a year? They toured with Dave 3 times after his return and released 2 albums. RIP Eddie

Van Eddie

He was using peavey 5150s at this time.

@@kgjohnson0240 he used the SLO on the album and the tour supporting it. You are right by 1995 he was using the 5150 live. Two of the three SLO’s he bought are still in 5150 studio. The third was given to a producer. I have a very early one. I wish I could find a way to buy one of the ones he had.

​@@vancedean9699He used a SLO, as well as 5150 prototypes. The amps on the tour were 5150s. He may have used a SLO on some songs, but the rack was three 5150 heads and one for Alex's feed. He was road-testing and fine-tuning them with Peavey and James Brown before their release in 1992.

For me growing up it was Luke Skywalker and Eddie Van Halen.

One had The Force, the other just had a glowing laser sword thingy.

@@danfoss1535 lol. Good one.

And we were lucky enough to be alive for it. 🤘🏻

Pros don’t improvise. His adlibs were well rehearsed, they’re the same at every show.

Lifelong vh montrose fan already this was,the original Cabo F'N Wowo

I was thinking he looks like the neighbor from Office Space, only chunky.

But Larry can't play bass nor is he really funny....

Sam thought he could become leader and it didn't work out HIS way . Then he makes a stupid lie claiming it was jealousy of his success . His POS book RED was used as a smear campaign against the Halen Bros .

Thats demonstrably incorrect. Roth and Sam steered the ship generally. When Ed took control he booted Sam from the band and released VH3 with Gary, and we all know how well that turned out.

Stewart sucking up like that was lame. Without Dave, VH wouldn't have reached the heights it did.

Especially after the charcuterie platter! Much needed carbs after that first set.

+Majik0715 They hated Roth even more than they hate Sammy. So anything is possible at this point.

You may be right. I watched a few interviews with Sammy and he usually comes out bashing Eddie. So you never know.

+John Michaelson Love Ed but imo he is a ass and not the most truthful. After a loooong tour was over,Sam went home to CA to see his wife/kids. Ed called and wanted him to fly to Hawaii NOW to do the Twister Human beings song. Sam tried to tell Ed to give him some time off but he did go to Hawaii and do the song. Then on Father's day,Ed told Sam he was a great solo artist and should go back to being one and fired him. The recent flareup was Ed trashing MA claiming he had to basically show him how to play the bass. Imo Sam and MA have always been consistent and well grounded where as Ed,well not so much.

JT Michaelson honestly, from what I've heard, it's not that Sammy doesn't like Eddie. It's that Eddie won't let Mikey play bass again. He bashes Mikey left and right to self-promote his son. They're a package in Sammy's eyes. Ny hope is they get together again, but as long as Eddies son is on bass, it's not happening.

+Brett: I personally hate what they did to Mikey. He's one of the badasses of rock and roll. He's one of the tightest and most disciplined bass players I think ever. That guy never missed a beat and always performed like motherfucker. You can actually see Mike Anthony loved doing what he did, and he did it right. So yes, Ed is seen as a real asshole for what he did. And Sammy seems to give a shit about it. But seeing DLR back at the mic was not only cool, and unexpected, but a HUGE surprise considering how much they hated him. The shit Ed and Alex kept saying was just disheartening. I figured they were dead in the water. But look. Here they are. And surprisingly still together after 3 years. That's even more of a shock. I expect it all to implode any day now.

Hahah come on mate. VH 1 is the best album.

He said VH’s best LIVE album, not album. He’s 100% correct as well because Van Halen was absolutely on fire during this tour. Alex was at his PEAK and Eddie was sober for the first time. Eddies always been phenomenal live (minus the 2004 tour) but on this tour it was just at another level. Plus he needed a hip replacement so he wasn’t running around and jumping like he usually did. Therefore he was just 100% dialed in on playing Look up on KZfaq Van Halen live 1995 Toronto. Not saying it’s the best set list because I thought that was the only knock about the Hagar years was other than the new album they played the same songs every single tour. In 1993 they played Unchained which was awesome. Their catalog was so much deeper than just Panama, Jump and Ain’t Talkin Bout Love. I get him not wanting to play more than 3-4 Roth era songs but mix them up and they should of also dug deeper into their catalog with Hagar instead of always the typical songs such as Why Can’t this Be love and Dreams. Now back to my original point. On that Toronto 95 show watch Alex’s solo. I play drums and his solo is at a Neil Peart level. His overall playing is also the best it’s ever been. I think the neck brace may have actually been something that ended up helping him because it kept all his movements tight and precise. Plus he kept getting better with age. Hagar pointed that out that Alex still practiced on a consistent basis and it was rare that someone with that level of success gets better. They usually stay the same or get worse Hagar said. Then if you watch Eddies solo you’ll see that it’s the best live solo he’s ever done which is SAYING A LOT. The songs from the balance album are also epic live. So seeing 95 Van Halen with a set list that would of had more deeper tracks would of been the ultimate Van Halen concert video. Rothadites please don’t say Oakland 81 because the band wasn’t as tight yet and Roth was never a good singer live. I like both the Roth and Hagar eras. But if I had to pick 1 as far as music I’d pick the Roth era and if I had to pick which version was better live then it would be Hagar . =\/|-|= forever!

"live" haha not even close

Not even close they’re boring here don’t you remember 5150 when they’re all dancing a you fool smiling???

Scotty BoomBoom I’m referring to the musical chemistry. Not personal chemistry.

@@Pepsolman I dont agree that happened with vh. But if you can, please give another example

Sam's to blame . He got bossy and said something to really piss Ed off . Only a MORON would believe any of his lies and not even look for themselves to actually see or hear the truth . Even Mike said Sam quit . There was no conspiracy to get rid of Sam . Warner Bros DEMANDED a greatest hits album . He was given the choice do the greatest hits album or quit . Captain Candyass QUIT . Mike himself agreed with Al and Ed .

and the fumanchu. Grrrrrrr.

OMG 🤯😅🤣😂😎👍hilarious!!!

The two tried that. One ego got in the way. Guess who.

I disagree. I didn't like Sammy's voice on that record. Yeah he was 48 and couldn't help it probably. But he sounded so much better on 5150.

Ryan Connell 5150 I have not heard of either of these songs which must mean the album was a stinker. Sammy is a better singer, I’ll give you that but still take a shitty Running with the Devil over a ........ insert Van Hagar limp dick song .... ha ha ...... my girlfriend knows the last song !

@@jamescraig3121 haven't heard 5150?

"Dave could never pull off vocals like that" he didn't need to mate. They were playing different kind of songs, better songs. That's why VH 1 is their best album

Sam always wrote the worst lyrics but “I Can’t Stop Loving You” should never have been allowed on a VH album.

@@KevyNova That IS the worst song in their catalog. Too corny even as a Hagar solo song.

@@ColtraneTaylor the first time I heard it on the radio, I was saying “PLEASE be a solo Sammy song! PLEASE be a solo Sammy song!” Then I heard Eddie’s guitar and was like “dammit!” I couldn’t believe it was the same band that did “Mean Street.”

@@KevyNova Or the previous albums even. Never mind Mean Streets, it makes Dreams sound hardcore.

@@ColtraneTaylor 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Last good music? Wtf are you talking about. So much good music everywhere. You just got old and stagnant

Super cringe.

Sammy admits in his book that it wasn't all Ed's fault. He was turned against Sam by bad management who were telling him to "get his band back".

@@leonskum.5682 you're both full of shit . Captain Candyass's book RED was a smear campaign against the Halen Bros . He didn't tell you how much money he got from a videogame TV commercial when they used his Can't Drive 55 song YET he crucified the Halen Bros for selling songs for TV commercials .

Agree.

The Neverending Mullet

it's Joe dirt on steroids 💪

He has had a Hair Transplant, I met him at the Namm show in the early 2000's when he was just starting to get it, & wow so obvious, he did not even try to hide it... over time it has filled in a lot better....

L M A O STILL to this day hahahahah

LOL

Hahahaha

Oh Eddie...... I’ll miss ya FOREVER!!!! 💜✨✨✨✨

I know! How dare he speak up for first responders to support their care! Shame on him!

Ed and Al HATED Sam’s lyrics to that song.

@@spacesex710 And the fans didn’t like the sloppiness of compositions like Don’t Tell Me, Seventh Seal, etc. Eddie recycling the pulse-pounding poundcake as the slumbering Seventh Seal…to please the flannel shirts. Didn’t work. Then Eddie trying to be Metallica with Humans Being. Didn’t work, he understood and took a 180 degree turn -back to high energy rock-with Me Wise Magic. But couldn’t get along with Dave and, thus, the end of story.

@@spacesex710 I wished Dave could’ve seen the kind of characters he’s inspired….with a peculiar level of intelligence; equipped with impeccable language skills. No wonder “(he) forgot the f-ing lyrics, man.”

⁠​⁠@@gokhanersan8561what fans are you talking about that didnt like those balance songs? I know you dont speak for anyone and are probably just talking about yourself and other diamond dave dick riders, also when was me wise magic ever high energy there’s nothing high energy about either of the ‘96 roth tracks and nothing metallica like about humans being

tdadvertising Ed was going thru hell. Give the poor guy a break. Battles... RIP

www.vhtrading.com/topic/aint-no-love-in-the-city Apparently, Ain't No Love In The City is a Florida Broadcast from 1995. Leads me to believe, they tried to credit the distributors of the Van Halen Pensacola Florida 1995 Live Audio Recording. It doesn't belong here, however these are also live Balance Songs in these vied but the credit should go to Van Halen and the Jon Stewart's Show. Checkout the Van Pensacola Florida concert video and you'll fin the same album credit.
