Underrated for his musicianship as well as vocal talent

@@carlfreeman6687 amen brother

I wish the Van Halen Brothers would know that... horrible undeserved disrespect by them towards Anthony especially by Eddie.

I can't believe they tried to block him from all the old Albums and put Eddie put his son in there fans don't like when you fuck with our loyal people like Michael

patrick jaroch this is a true story. Very much the backbone of Van Halen

aint that the truth

Yes he does. Too much in fact, I believe. He's good as a back-up vocalist, but nothing special. It's just that he's an awesome guy.

That's because his former bandmates choose nepotism over him. Had to make room for Wolfie. Only thing that Eddie and Valerie forgot to produce was a lead singer. Too bad Eddie can't get it up no more. Oh well, guess Wolfie is left to produce one. Can't wait to see whom he gets with to do so, nor for the pregnancy announcement. I'm sure the press is gonna be asking "is this one gonna be the new lead singer?"

... nor does Mike get proper due credit for his rock solid, bottom grounding bass playing and selection of notes that always kept that three-piece studio and live sound so damned tight and full. As far as I am concerned, Michael Anthony is as much Van Halen as Eddie or Alex. Unfortunately Eddie, at least at one time, became a petulant little control freak and had to have his way all of the time like some 16 year old school girl with no regard for anyone except himself. I hope Eddie pulled it together. Although, don't know how true it is, but I understand Eddie isn't happy with Dave now because Dave isn't "grown-up" enough. He needs to settle into "looking his age" as well as "acting" his age or little Edward isn't going to be pleased with him for much longer either. Screw that! Aging SUCKS enough without giving in to it's ravages so easily. If one can manage to stay younger looking and more important, live younger and maintain that child-like enthusiasm then why not! Ed... if true, you're becoming a whining, stick-in-the-mud. Lighten up man, and get your nose out of other people's personal business, People just want to rock and have fun, even if they are aging... freak boy! Oh well, they're just people's lives... so easily discarded when one doesn't get their way, huh, Ed? Well, once again, chomp and fret on this, Edward... Michael Anthony is as much Van Halen as you, and also helped contribute to your success and your wallet's size!!! Wolfgang, as nice of a kid as he apparently is, is NOT Van Halen when it comes to bass. Michael IS Van Halen... period!!! If I've misjudged Eddie because of false reports then God forgive me, and I apologize to EVH twenty times over. However, if one or even two people say something it's one thing... but when you get multiple reports from multiple sources over a long period of time, well, I'm just saying'... Michael Anthony... you're one of my all-time favorite rock bass heroes, bud! Keep thumping it out, my brother. :-)

Amazocon --- Great point! Mikey still sounds incredible!

I agree but if you want to party all night long and forget what's going to happen tomorrow, DLR Van Halen is that drug. FWIW even taking that in to account, I will always love Sammy with Van Halen over Dave because from the age of 11 in 85 to 22 in 96 he was the voice of Van Halen, the one I grew up with. Still one hell of a band with either of those two.

Not really. Sam just sings about whatever happens to be “hip” at the time. There’s no consistent, genuine point of view with him. It’s all marketing. Which makes sense because he’s a businessman. Everything is made to sell. That’s why you have songs called Dreams and then The Dream is Over. You have Poundcake and then two tracks later Spanked. Good Enough then Not Enough. With Roth, you have a singular point of view and it speaks to an attitude. Goes way beyond good music. He’s a convicted artist who walks it like he talks it.

@@Iknowthelaw13 shut up

haggar wrote that songs

So true....l agree 🎶🎶❣️❣️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Sammy respects Micheal .....EGO Van Halen's were talking shit

it's easy to stay friends when you're a stand up guy and nice

October 18,2019...Still in love with Van Hagar!!Go Sammy go!!

Because they both equally hate David Lee Roth

@@mgates9139 Agree with pretty much all of the above. Mike was badly betrayed by VH when dumped. Great to see him and Sammy togeether.

Greatest! Johnson is a killer Guitar Player!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

So true!

Agreed

It is when naturally he’s compared to EVH, tough gig lol

He was a spry 66 when this was recorded haha

Love 💕 this generous talented artist... keep it coming Sammy 🎶🎶🎶

Can't wait until 80yrs...l see a Red cane... maybe flames 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!

I'm going to bet you he's my favorite than how you do 😆 it's nice meeting you here

Vic Johnson is one of a kind.

Agree ❤🎸🌹...

Amen to that bro.

I have gotta go see these guys!

Yes! no doubt about it!

Sammy has shown himself to be kind of a slimeball tbh. Used car salesman type. Disappointed.

@@MyKittyPercy Oh fuck. You sound like one of those Trump haters to me. hating am an for no other reason than jealousy & Envy

Totally agree.If I close my eyes even though Eddie is gone and listen i still here vanhagar.

@R Campbell I feel ya

I liked the version with Sammy, Mike, and Gary Cherone on vocals.

CoolPixx23 Mega Thumbs Up !!!

CoolPixx23 I regret I have only one thumb to up

Yes!

Sad but true.

CoolPixx23 hell yes. sammy is fucking awsome. van halen is shit without him or anthony.

+SNAKE PLISSKEN Agreed..he is also fatter, whinier, and half the showman as Roth..his music blows..this tune is crap..

+wndowpayne So then why are you watching it?

+wndowpayne where is the logic here?

+ptpvideogaming I try to remain open minded and maybe my feelings change over time..nah,,this sucks..

+wndowpayne

Agree, and a cutie pie 🤣

Michael Anthony is Van Halen as well! Sammy knows Mikey is a badass bassist,so great together, love them❣️

Well said

Amen young lady... amen

Absolutely

Well said dear, 🤗 Hope you are having a great day? Happy Christmas and happy new year in advance it's nice meeting you here

tonif74 out of all the VH band members (past and present). Mike is probably the most grounded. He’s still married to his high school sweetheart and he has never bashed the VH brothers, despite the shitty ways they treated him.

Don't forget Anthony is an awesome bass player too. Peace & keep on rockin'.

best backing vocals in Rock,always wondered how he would sound out front

I completely agree, but in this video most of the backing vocals (and all keyboards) come from a backing track

@@davidsiter3091 He could easily be a front man in his own right. His backing harmonies are the backbone of Van Halen.

That's right. Van Hagar ( the circle) is the new van halen And better than David's band with the old van halen. Sammy is the best And if I had an opportunity to jam on guitar, I would pick sammy over edd.

Does Van Halen as a viable conduit for a band survive the loss of Eddie? RIP Brother

note better van halen.....SUCK

And one, what seems to be at least, without monster egos.

AMEN

You are right Sir! Sammy s only downfall is that he can t drive 55!! hahaha

Indeed. Van Halen needed Sammy. And the shame of what Eddie and Alex did is that Van Hagar was the best they had ever been.

Indeed

I never forgot....Sammy was on the scene when VH was still in diapers...lol

I think both talents needed each other... The reality is that Sammy and Van Halen, by joining their paths, catapulted their careers to give us the great musical legacy that they have left us together. No one can really say for sure how the story would have been if they had taken different paths since success in music is not certain and many times it is ephemeral....

Hello beautiful how are you doing today

Thanks for being a great fan ❤️❤️🎸🎸

I¨m 55 and I hope Sammy gets about 85 , and still rocking.

Everardo Vega Chávez im hoping he and michael break 100.. id love to play music with these 2!!

The RED ROCKER WILL ROCK 4 EVER

Hello beautiful how are you doing today it's nice to meet you here

👍💯💕🔥🌴

Hello dear merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄 and happy new year in advance

I'll fall in Love Again.... His spotlight with Daryll Hall and friends....the way the all sit in a row playing their guitars is so touching and exuberates fathomless soul.

Ha ha ha!! PRICELESS!!

You're probably right

Lmao

Ikr, they obviously filmed it, release it already.

Will do 😎

You could even be really old like me and read his book lol

@@tdub5776 I never thought I will listen to a book, but it is more interesting when it is read by a pro with a personality, or even the author himself. Like Phil Collins book. Listening to a book is great for long car rides also.

@@tdub5776 i too have read the book, and love it, but no book compares to growing up with Sammy Hagar as the music you spent all those summers of my teen years with.

He exudes class. He's a man to emulate.

still??? Jasons only 50

Just catching this for the 1st time and I love it! Thought that was Bonzo's son on drums! Plays like his dad!

Van Halen screwed up when they let Michael go and replaced him with the kid. And Sammy was another stupid loss
