Sammy, in addition to being a great singer, is an excellent guitarist. This song gave Sammy all his feeling in voice and guitar. One of my favorites. The best era of Van Hagar.

While all you ppl commenting talking about how talented Sammy’s vocals and guitar playing is your are SO RIGHT ! That being said let us not forget that he also wrote the incredible lyrics to this song ! I LOVE Roth in his day too but the SAMMY YEARS HAVE THEIR OWN SPECIAL MAGIC !! Sam and Eddie really show how they matured as WRITERS and performers since their youth. We are BLESSED to have lived through these years with ALL VH incarnations. VH will live FOREVER in music history.

Flawless performance. When Sammy was on, he was in a league of very few vocally. Rock legend. Van Halen as a band did the unthinkable. They were huge with Roth and replaced him with Sammy and became huge again. That is an almost impossible achivement. They were just that freaking good.

I was 8 yrs old when Van Halen released their first album. My uncle and friends older brothers played it alot and I remember liking it so much. Fast forward 1986, 16 years old heard "5150" and thought who gets to experience the same band twice for the first time? Van Halen will always be part of my DNA. For a kid growing up in an east L.A. suburb in southern california, man, what memories! Shred in peace Edward🎸
@therealwilfreddierkes9980 Жыл бұрын
Dude, exactly the same for me. We are the same age. I remember hearing VH for the first time at some kids swim party, and immediately thinking,’The lead singers name is Van Halen? And they just did a debut album, but right after that, put out another? Whoa.’ Then, the summer of 86 hit. I was 16, patiently waiting for summer practice to start before becoming a freshman. My life consisted of talking on the phone all day, eating bologna sandwiches, learning how to play 5+ drum cadences, field show, street marching, and 5150 album. It seemed like it was just on a constant loop that Summer. The Cure Japanese Whispers and VH 5150. Fast fwd two years, that July I went to my first concert, performed for two presidents, played at the first game of the World Series. But that concert …I fell in love that day, and I’ve been in love since with Sam, Ed,Alex & Mikie. Monsters of Rock @ LA Coliseum. 🤘🏼

Been watching a lot of this era Van Halen again, craving those days again. I remember going 3 nights in a row, to see them on their first tour together. I was so unbelievably happy Sammy had joined, and they made history. I was at their last tour, and what was originally magic, had become sad and uncomfortable. I wish it had ended differently. RIP Eddie

Contact is all it takes To change your life to lose your place in time Contact, asleep or awake Coming around you may wake up to find Questions deep within your eyes Now more than ever you realize And then you sense a change Nothing feels the same All your dreams are strange Love comes walkin' in Some kind of alien Waits for the opening Then simply pulls a string Another world, some other time You lay your sanity on the line Familiar faces familiar sights Reach back remember with all your might Oh there she stands in a silken gown Silver lights shining down So when you sense a change Nothing feels the same All your dreams are strange Love comes walkin' in Some kind of alien Waits for the opening Then simply pulls a string Love comes walkin' in Oh, sleep and dream is all I crave I travel far across the milky way To my master I become a slave Till we meet again some other day Where silence speaks as loud as war Earth returns to what it was before And then you sense a change Nothing feels the same All your dreams are strange Love comes walkin' in Some kind of alien Waits for the opening Then simply pulls a string Love comes walkin' in Love comes walkin' in Baby, pull the string Love comes walkin' in Love comes walkin' in yeah

Feel like a personal loss and sammy is really the only way to rock the world the van halen way whether you like it or not you gotta love it!!! Thanks for everything you did for us boys,what a time to be alive, never gonna get over this because someone like EVH and SH or DLR should never be taken for granted or ever forgotten because there will never be anyone like them ever again!
