Van Halen - Poundcake

マイケル・アンソニー　サミー・ヘイガー 時期のヴァン・ヘイレン

[@andrehughes1]

Man they were so good. One of the best live rock performances ever. Everyone is on point this sounds just like the studio recording. Eddie throws the kitchen sink into this song. All kinds of great guitar tones. Makita drill, Wah pedal, flanger, and all of his usual guitar wizardry. Wow. VH forever. RIP Eddie

[@Derrickbenson-ex5cx]

Ed made the band rip ed

[@honeybadger713]

This was an epic performance I remember watching it back then Hagar‘s vocals were spot on here every one of them was great

[@jonhowell5014]

BETTER than the studio recording. All 4 of them were at the top of their game. Alex followed Eddie, and Eddie followed Alex. Even after Eddie and Alex threw down, Michael and Sammy had a lot of space to do what they did - and they followed the Van Halen brothers' lead perfectly, without stepping on them. I wish I could have been there.

[@KimberlyArmstrong-wo1pv]

Van HAGER= imo, they made better quality music together, good chemistry

[@robertyancey4867]

They all look so happy and healthy there...I sincerely wish it would of stayed that way!!!😁☺😊😎

Eddies jammin in heaven. Forever young

[@mtbiker4life918]

Every year that goes by of Eddies passing I watch videos like this and I am simply in awe with him. Back then I just took in for granted listening to him play, now I pick up on things I never heard. He just made it look so dam easy.

[@richevans609]

I couldn't agree more! ❤

[@lillyrose9084]

Man I followed him since 78 when I was a teenager :) too awesome!

[@jonhowell5014]

Genius. Nobody else came CLOSE to his groove and timing. He was fast and loose, at the same time he was tight and perfect. Every note in this video is ON.

[@jeffmusgrave6467]

Two masters I consider myself lucky to have seen play in person; EVH and Neil Peart. Legends that will be missed for eternity.

1991年のMTV Video Music Awardsの映像ですね。BS(NHKだったかWOWOWだったかはうろ覚え)で放送されました。 オープニングのヴァン・ヘイレンの他にもメタリカの『EnterSandman』、マライア・キャリーの『Emotion』等、信じられないほど豪華なアーティストのパフォーマンスが盛り沢山の内容でした。 視聴しながら録画したVHSを何十回となく繰り返し憑りつかれた様に、宝物のように高校時代に観ていました。

[@stephenneville7841]

Nice to here mikes bass on a this recording.... finally

[@capnmo6718]

Implying it’s quiet on the album? Mikey’s bass is bumping on the recording, right from the first slide.

[@DVincentW]

Fun fact: Edward played all the bass on Fair Warning. Sunset Sound recording channel check it out. Not ditching Micheal Anthony. He is great. But there's a distinct difference on "push comes to shove".. Mike was Always prominent in the mix.

[@breauxcewayne1971]

@@capnmo6718 I think he’s implying this album finally had the bass properly mixed. On 5150 and especially on OU812 the bass is almost nonexistent. Alex wasn’t happy with how the drums were mixed either. So they asked Alex what type of sound he was looking for and he said that big Bonham sound. So they got Andy Johns who was a producer for Zeppelin to produce the Carnal Knowledge album. That album had the drums and bass with plenty of bottom end to have that full sound. They sound a lot better here live than they did live on the OU812 tour. Theres pro shot recordings for the OU812 and Carnal Knowledge tour on youtube. Check them out and you’ll hear a huge difference in overall sound.

[@ryanatkinson8067]

@@breauxcewayne1971 Great info on the recording of F.U.C.K., which I didn't know. The work of Andy Johns (and his brother Glyn) helped make some of the best rock records in history sound as good as they do. VH, Zeppelin, the Stones, Jimi Hendrix, etc., etc.

[@rustler160]

I can't believe Eddie's sound was so good live. They were in a league of their own

alex and his gell was amazingly good, mark anthonys vocals supporting the lead amazing stuff, eddies rythm playing was also amazong

Wet..Dry...Wet....so many guitarist emulated this setup live after Eddie figured it out.

This Band was "The Measuring Stick" Eddie was the Best!

[@OLD--MAN420]

What you heard on the vinyl, tape, cd is what you heard in concert. Not missing a beat. Only difference was what Eddie and crew provided during show. ALWAYS top notch and going away deaf for a few days after.

[@gkniffen]

Jeez. They took the stage like a bomb going off.

[@wbjr533]

Can we just take a moment and salute the sound guy? This is balanced so well.

[@jonhowell5014]

Right? Sound techs don't get the recognition they deserve. I've paid a lot of $ for some concerts where the band gave 100% and the sound tech fucked it all up. HUGE problem.

Absolutely, it does. The drums sound amazing all the way around, but that snare is just perfect. Especially for a TV broadcast, which can be tricky to get across.

[@promowlawnandlandscaping7128]

God Damn!!! Tight Tight Tight! Mike is Thundering Al is snapping the hell outta that snare, which everything revolves around Ed, what can you say about him that hasn't been said before Sammy sounds like he just stepped in from the mid 70's, he voice is TIMELESS! THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME!!!

[@drh-ov7eq]

Rest in peace legend

[@MikeUIibarri]

Energy level. Off the Charts.

[@thesanfordmethod1905]

This is going to be hard for anyone to believe and it's a really long story, but I believe and so does EBMM that I had actually owned Michael Anthony's black Stringray bass right here in this video at one time, he'd give them away like bread and butter; it's either that or Flea's MM black Stingray from the notorious SNL gig. I'm leaning it was more like Flea's because of what's part of that long story. No joke.

[@williamkolichsr7908]

They were the opening act of the MTV music awards.😂😂😂😂 imagine what the other bands that followed them were saying. Sucks for them to follow that. Their greatest live performance...period

[@musicmike1960]

The best thing about the Sammy years was the whole band felt tight, together and happy...Sammy is and will always be one of the best front men ever...Pure energy on every level...Michael Anthony is way under rated and appreciated as a musician...I'm glad that Sammy and Michael have teamed up to make Chicken Foot...Cheers guys.

[@sunjester8254]

Yeah, they were real happy. That's why Eddie kicked Sammy out and Michael later, and they all badmouthed each other, minus Mike doing that.

[@srtb3931]

Couldn't agree with you more! The VH years with Sammy as front man got me through some really rough times! I love Sammy! I'm willing to bet that Sammy and Michael A. are some really cool guys to chill and have several beers with!

[@metalboy5150]

@@sunjester8254Just because they *became* unhappy at some point doesn't mean they were *always* unhappy. Eddie and Sammy were extremely tight at one point, and loved writing music together. A lot of whether people could get along with Eddie or not depended on how heavily he was drinking at that point, from the way I understand it.

[@dstrvyer69]

can you name anyone specifically that 'way' underrates Michael Anthony as a musician?? ... have you ever had a conversation with someone that said, 'yeah, that Michael Anthony really sucks as a bassist and background singer'..? would just like to really pin down, with some facts, your idiotic claim that Michael Anthony is 'underrated and under appreciated' as a musician.

[@mr.brenman2132]

​@@sunjester8254You really showed him 🤦‍♂️ They all said it was a great relationship for 11 years until the greatest hits controversy happened. Just because the relationship spoiled doesn't mean it wasn't a great relationship at one time. That's how life works.

Any song that requires a Makita drill is cool.

[@RideWithTheWolf]

I remember when the album came out and they came to San Jose, CA. This was the most rad song! Ed did a solo to open (as usual?) that included the national anthem. Then this was the first song. Soo powerful! The band could connect with people like me.

[@9_of_9]

I don’t care what anyone says- Hagar was a great addition to Van Halen

[@blzbob_86]

The thing I never got was, when you're recording Van Halen, and Eddie is soloing, you don't cut to Alex coming down on his snare or Sammy dancing around or a close-up of the edge of Mikey's bass. Whatever. You stay on The King until he's done with his solo.

i saw them back in like 90 or 91 when they were touring with this album, they had Alice in Chains opening for them Layne had a broke leg at the time but they still put on a hell of a show, Van Halen's set was one of the best concerts I have ever been to, they blew me away both Eddie and Sammy had their own solos as well as Alex and Michael I will never forget it

[@mtbiker4life918]

I remember that tour. The crowd were all chanting " Eddie" about three songs near the end. Alice N Chains were pissed, the lead singer ended up spitting on the crowd at the end. Never listened to them since.

[@greggardner2042]

Van Halen progressed with Hagar. They were not going to re-create their debut album repeatedly and certainly not with DLR. They created great music throughout their career. DLR was a great frontman, but Hagar has him beat on vocals.

[@timedrington139]

DLR was the voice of Van Halen. Hagar turned VH into a pop band.

[@metalboy5150]

⁠I'd love to hear the pop you're listening to. Any pop group that can write songs like "The Seventh Seal," "Don't Tell Me (What Love Can Do)," "Get Up," "Black and Blue," "Cabo Wabo," "Pound cake," "Judgement Day," etc., etc., etc. is a bloody amazing pop band in my book. Not to mention a hard rocking one. DLR was A voice of Van Halen. Not THE voice. Eddie and Mike's backing vocals contributed as much to their vocal sound as Dave did. And DLR was a one-trick pony. His solo stuff sounds pretty much exactly the same as his stuff with Van Halen, but with a different guitarist that isn't Eddie. (Not that his guitarists weren't good, he played with some monsters - Vai, Becker, John 5, for example.) He did one thing, and did a pretty good job of it, but that's all. At least with Sammy they had some variety, for God's sake.

[@ORLOSTguy]

I know there's a bit of a debate about Sammy and Dave but in my opinion, Sammy always seems to "hit it". He sings better than Roth, whereas Roth is more about the "Showman" approach. Scatting and talking to the audience were his approach, especially in his live concerts. And as others mention in the comments the band here is so in it, playing great and having fun. It is really too bad that the Van Halen brothers kicked out Sammy and eventually Michael Anthony. Because they were a mighty rock band that made other rock bands seem small in comparison.

Loved Ed's rig in this era...flipped the guitar and amp market on it's ear going with Peavey and Ernie Ball. EVERY guitar magazine had a story about it.

[@martinmdl6879]

Examine Eddie's family history. Kids back then had black and white TV with 4 channels, maybe. No video games or tiktok. Kids had time to do stuff, spend all day fiddling with a guitar, and again the next day, and so on. If Eddie was kid today, chances are near zero he would ever be famous or accomplished. Enjoy these old videos because this is the end of it. Everybody is being dumbed down. You are easier to control if you don't know anything. Not so long ago it was illegal for slaves to go to school. Now schools have gender studies. History repeating itself.
