He was a lead singer at one-time then joined some band Mammoth and he just had to play Bass and Vocal Harmony and Then that band became a band that had some success Van Halen and Mikey is what made that band The Mighty Van Halen!!!!!

Listening to Satch play that solo really hits home for me since Eddie and Satch are both big heroes of mine and the fact that that was not rehearsed is a testament to the skill and knowledge of all involved. What a performance.

I was a lifelong DLR fan and joined a Van Halen tribute in 2016....THEN I developed a whole new respect for Sammy. His songs are a lot harder to sing. He's singing this at a way lower pitch here, given his age. This was one of my favorite tunes to perform.

[@shawnthefarmer5161]

I think Satch is approaching this project the correct way. Maintain the structure of the song and his part whilst putting his own flavor in the mix. Ed did the same with covers he played and that’s what made them great.

Well duh yes, of course he will maintain the structure, because that is the way the song is written and arranged.
