Guys, Eddie is gone, but Sammy is not. Give your love to him. He’s a legend.

[@lsgutah]

I just saw Sammy and The Circle last week! He's still rocking hard at 74. So fun! You're right about his legend status. Same with Eddie. Was sad all night thinking about Eddie, but his music will live on.

The Best thing to ever happen to Van Halen & Sammy Van Hagar. I listened to Sammy back in the day of Montrose and The Red Rocker. Rock Candy, Bad Motor Scooter, Rock the Nation, Good Rocking Tonight, & I'll Fall in Love, Heavy Metal, Eagle's Fly, & I loved his cover of (Janis Joplin's - Take A Piece of My Heart).

[@markhovsepian1469]

Hagar has such better range than Roth. ESPECIALLY NOW! Roth sounds like a cat dying.

[@skyvedder]

Roth was a performer. Hagar is a musician who can sing.

[@waltersimmons946]

Hagar told Mick Jones (Foreigner) recently he doesn't think he could sing that high anymore. Also it was Jones who got Hagar to "stretch," on that song "Dreams " . Hagar said he never, ever sung that high till Jones who was their producer on 5150 really brought it out of him. Even Lou Gramm once said after joining Foreigner he was doing things (vocally) he hadn't done before.

[@Iverson1590]

More people need to understand that it doesn't have to be Sammy Vs DLR. Both were fantastic at what they bring to Van Halen. Yes technically, Sammy is a far superior vocalist in terms of pure singing ability, but they're both incredible front men.

[@waltersimmons946]

@@Iverson1590 You are correct 100% also Hagar isn't hitting all those HIGH NOTES himself nowadays. He interviewed Mick Jones (Foreigner) recently and they talked about that album Jones produced for Van Halen and the song 🎵 DREAMS came up and actually even in Sammy's book , he said he never sung high like he did on that song before, It was Mick Jones who brought that out of him , well Sammy said in the interview that he COULD NOT sing like that anymore and I heard Sammy on recent live concerts doing that song in acoustic fashion and he does sing way , way down in his talking range but it still sounded o.k to me. The age factor does settle in .Mick jones will 78 in December and Sammy who's older than Roth will be 75 in October. All 3 guys are past their prime so the comparisons constantly especially about work Roth /Hagar did about 40 yrs ago at this point is RIDICULOUS. Neither are gonna re-record any of the studio versions 🎵 or live versions of their tunes to please critics . Yesterday is gone.

[@danieldougan269]

@@Iverson1590 Let's not forget Sammy is credible on guitar too. He's not Eddie, but he's pretty good. If you watch the video for "Love Walks In," you'll see Sammy on guitar, which freed Eddie up to play keyboard. (My favorite thing about Van Halen is Eddie's keyboard hooks.) Roth never played any instruments.

This was the last of the golden years for them. Grunge was in full swing and Van Halen was starting to fracture. Changes in the music industry and MTV didn’t help most of the rock/metal bands during these years. It was the end of an era, but we still love them all.

[@peanutbutterisfu]

Eddie is one of the only guys that can add these little metal riffs to these pop/rock songs that's not something easy to do adding dive bombs to radio hits. I didn’t get into Van Halen until after I was already playing in bands and had my style which was a pop punk with a bit of shred and heavy guitars but not like what was going on at the time 10 years ago with the chuggga chugga guitars kinda more of what Eddie does with the easy to listen to kinda pop sounding rock songs with a bit of metal, like a love song with this super fast solo but the solo fit perfectly. I just absolutely love that style and I wish I had gotten into Van Halen much younger it’s just the best of both worlds metal guys love the crazy guitar work and ur every day too 40 person that does not know anything about music can easily get into it and the best thing is so much of Van Halen’s music is timeless I was born in 1984 so they were way before my time but it still sounds relevant I am a musician so I respect music from all different eras but when the music sounds dated I can’t get into it but Van Halen has never sounded like that to me.
