because they weren't friends. If you're an actual Van Halen fan, you would know that Eddie would not be good with this. Eddie, Alex, and Sammy haven't spoke for nearly a decade. Sammy wrote a a lot of shit in his book about the brothers Eddie and Alex. It was a deal breaker for them, and it was over.

@@XXXGIUTARBUMYOU are sadly mistaken. Eddie and Sammy made piece months before Eddie passed and they were even planning “The Kitchen Sink Tour” with everyone. If you’re a true Van Halen fan as you say, you would know that. And for the record, Sammy has been on tour since the late 90s playing Van Halen songs. Where have you been???
@breakabletape5 ай бұрын
Probably because the setlist isn't what Hagar was promising. He said the tour was going to do a deep dive into the VH catalogue and honour the legacy, but then they go and play the singles, standard concert tunes, and just three Roth-era songs, with one of them either incomplete or part of a medley. This isn't the tour we were told we'd be getting. Many cannot see the promised honouring of Eddie's memory or the the Van Halen legacy. It's just a Sammy Hagar & Friends show.

It's a tribute. People need to be nice about it. Original band members had their chance to join in. Same with Wolfie. They declined. I've been to see Sammy , Mikey & Jason at several shows recently. They were great shows. Packed audiences. These guys aren't 30 anymore, so they have to take it down into a different level. Joe & Jason aren't Eddie & Alex - but they are super talented and worth the ticket price to see them play! Sammy put up his own money to sponsor this tour. Give it a chance.
