Any schooled guitar player could be satriani Eddie is on another level

[@JohnWahlers]

LMFAO-yeah okay. Do you even play guitar?

[@flazjsg]

​​Guthrie Govan said in a video that guitarists like Satriani were easy to figure out. Everything is a pattern.​@@JohnWahlers

[@flazjsg]

​@@JohnWahlersVan Halen made up his own patterns. He wrote his own book on guitar so to speak.

[@eddiecatflap3838]

Well put it this way.Joe Satriani is famous for Surfin with the Alien. Whereas Sammy stretched ass Belcher is famous for being probed by an alien.

[@pituophisart6916]

Belcher, forever delusional

[@grindhousecartoons6896]

HAMMYS GOTTA SHUT HIS TRAP! HES SO BUTT HURT THAT THE VAN HALEN BROS DUMPED HIM LIKE AN OLD GIRLFRIEND!...AND HE CANT LET IT GO.

Those pics 🤣

[@lrm215]

They’re greatttttttttttr!!!

[@scottsuvoski9574]

Eddie Van Halen was Unique. One in a Gazillion. One in 100 years. Satch is technically good, no doubt. But Eddie, changed how people play guitar forever. RIP. Gallery of a Great.

[@thebluesrockers]

Sammy must have been a natural, born pickle whistler with a name like "Belcher."

[@OzricTentaclesRule]

All my windows and doors have been closed to Sam for a very long time... He is/was/has been insufferable

[@rich52569]

Not a popular opinion in Van Halen circles, but Ed did "show" or heavily influenced the hair metal guitarists of the 80's ( minus guys like Randy and a few others, who had their own style to begin with) but some guitarists like Joe, Vai and a few others took what Ed did and went further - no shame in it.

[@diamondd2778]

All three of them together never wrote as many classic songs as EVH.

[@rich52569]

@@diamondd2778 true, but still, joe and steve took it to the next level of playing.

[@flazjsg]

Van Halen was the last of the rock guitar icons. As for Satriani, "Satch Boogie" was a shameless rip-off of Billy Gibbons and Van Halen. He didn't do squat in Deep Purple and played with Mick Jagger on a completely forgettable record. I'd rather listen to Rick Derringer or Tommy Bolin any day over Satch or Vai.

[@lrm215]

I’m beginning to dislike Sammy Belcher more and more every time Ralph reports news on him

[@grindhousecartoons6896]

JOE SOUNDS NUTHIN LIKE EDDIE! EVEN IF HE PLAYS EDDIES SHIT NOTE BY NOTE!

[@richardthompson6366]

No one sounds like Eddie, after a while Eddie didn't even sound like his former self anymore.

[@JanaWright-ii6qz]

So this is basically now Chickenfoot. I find it hard to believe but what I read was there wasn’t really any tribute to Eddie during the show. I would have rather seen the opener Loverboy. At least they’re not a covers band

[@markbirchette8740]

Without EVH there'd be no Satriani, Vai, etc.

[@tcollier5460]

That's not true

[@rich52569]

Likely true, but they took the foundation of what Ed laid out and took it further.

[@markbirchette8740]

@@rich52569 Indeed

[@2hi2dye]

Steve Vai graduated from Berklee College of Music in 79. He was already in mastery mode

[@acorn-yy1gi]

If Satch is more versatile than Edward was, it is in part because Satch spent most of his career in other people's bands. He had to learn their music. Edward was the primary songwriter in Van Halen; he developed his own style.

[@robertschlueter7249]

Ralph can kiss those Back Stage Passes Goodbye, signed “ Sammy Belcher “

[@richardthompson6366]

I became a Van Halen fan as a young teenager during the Roth era, their sound and style with the original line up was just so different and awesome. After Dave left, Michael and Sammy became hired guns and the band did an admiral job but the sound and attitude was not the same anymore. It's been forty years, just let it go people.

[@rich52569]

Perfectly said. These guys are still trying to cling to high school.

[@Markis5150]

The sooner Satch breaks away from Sammy Belchodo the better off things will be. He surrounds himself with talent,leaches off it,then runs his mouth while we all just shake our heads. I'm gonna leave it with one final line that Edward told Wolfie years back when he found out he was making his own record and wanted him to do his own thing. Hagar would be wise to learn from this. "Play your own shit! Not mine,play your own!"

[@TheJimGreenhamShow]

Nobody went to Van Halen to see Hager...a ripoff fake Eddie tribute.., and now hes playing down Eddie

[@joeylyons4549]

So he actually said JASONS GONNA STAY THERE UNTIL HIS MOTHER PULLS THROUGH OR WHATEVER. What a dick

[@pourkeehablakeencha4585]

I dig Sammy...always have- but this is a very ignorant comment. Bad taste and not cool. But like the rest of us- just his opinion.

[@Illcastashadow1]

I think Dave's craziness is like connected to Sammy's cringe. So when Dave gets crazier Sammy goes to the next "cringe factor"

[@justinfendelet8675]

EVH he reinvented the vibrato whammy bar 🎸 theres nobody like him....

[@robgen06]

people dont realize ed was the original super strat inventor i think the most popular type of electric guitar its so overlooked

[@jimmypage9198]

Come on Edward provided some of the best music of all of our lives Sammy is a backstabbing traitor That makes money from Edward after he's gone Keep telling it like it is Ralph 🤘 There's no riffs with Joe He plays like he's got no soul and with no feeling Nobody's listening to Chickenfoot And they never were Cuz if somebody is listening to chickenfoot in the car They can let me out 😀 I'll find my own ride

[@ericbrewer2409]

Scammy Hagar the horrible.

[@roymartin500]

As a guitarist myself, Joe is one of the best to ever play electric but so was EVH. I see it as apples and oranges cept EVH was the most influential & thats important to remember Sammy Squid Belcher.

[@aruiztech]

Nothing against Satriani, but I saw some videos of him playing VH songs. The "feel/energy" just wasn't there. Eddie was not just about technique, his feel and groove made him stand out.

[@scottsuvoski9574]

Right On. Absolutely. Ed was Unique to the Core. Once in a lifetime player, like Santana, Blackmore, Page, etc., You know it's him, from the first note, when you hear it!

[@gatotenango]

being able to play a guitar doesn't make you a great musician any more than being able to make breakfast makes you a great chef. eddie not only made the best breakfast, he was a master chef...

[@lrm215]

The Mcflaccid 😂 that was primo!!

[@diamondd2778]

EVH is on another level when it comes to songwriting. There's a reason why Satch is just boring widdly diddly. Amazingly talented but only a few songs are great . The rest is just boring

[@imunchienandalusia]

I don't know who does the memes/photos for ralph but they are f'ing hilarious

[@richardsampson7163]

every guitar player you mentioned, I have stood 5 feet from them and watched them play. You my friend are exactly correct.

[@BazookaToe]

Akira Takasaki shoutout!! 🤘🏼

[@richardsampson7163]

Love the Frank Marino reference. Awesome!!!!!

[@stanlee-eq7lu]

Sammy is suche a douche, he makes Vinny Vincent look like a genius.

[@careful...Icarus]

Dang Ralph,that sad fish Sammy is just a curly hair away from topping ramen Sammy. Almost.The memes...I'm dying.Lmfao. Seriously tho Joe wouldnt say any of this shit about himself. He actually seems like a cool guy.

[@SteelCityDrones]

He's milking the VH cow to Europe next. I wonder if Sammy is going to Alex Van Halen's book appearances? I wonder if Alex will sign Sammy's book?

[@Scottocaster6668]

"BLAST BELCHER MONDAY!!" STRIKES AGAIN😀👍

[@LaughWhileItsStillLegal]

10:20 this should have been the album cover of Balance

[@flazjsg]

Satch is the amongst the first generation of rock guitarists that took a bunch of other guitarist's styles and mish-moshed them together into a bland, safe style without adding anything original. Now they all do it. Same thing happens in every musical genre. Jazz is the same, guitarists have been creatively dead for a while.

[@tubewrestler59]

And for all the Hagar followers who praise his vocals, this is a good time to remind everyone how average he really is in comparison to Ian Gillan of Deep Purple, Ronnie James DIO, Dave Meniketti of Y & T, Rob Halford of Judas Priest, David Coverdale, Eric Adams of MANOWAR, Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, the late GREAT Bon Scott and let’s also include Brian Johnson, Robert Plant, Ronnie Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Brad Delp of Boston, Steve Perry of Journey, Paul Rogers of Bad Company, Joe Lynn Turner, Lou Gramm of Foreigner, Billy Squier, all the vocalists in Kansas, YES, Billy Idol, OZZY Osbourne,Pat Benatar, Ann Wilson of Heart, Benjamin Orr of the Cars, so many other talented musicians and especially, in his prime , the greatest frontman of Van Halen and the 1980s, the inimitable - DAVID LEE ROTH ! Just a little more insight, detailing the mediocrity of Ham Hagar. 😂 Another great upload Ralph - thank you again for exposing this narcissistic liar . Oh and Sammy Hagar sucks. Have a great day and listen to classic rock artists that matter.

[@almosthuman56]

Thank you!

[@progbloke6655]

I HATED the way Satriani played Unchain Your Brain on the Gillan's Inn album. Too slow, no fire, yet people would say he's "better" than Bernie Torme. Interesting.

[@almosthuman56]

I find him so borning

[@jason698]

I would never dog Joe for an asinine statement like that from Sammy. Come on Belcher do better!

[@MrMojoRisin]

Sammy was not a good fit for Van Halen in the first place. A lot of the Satriani’s and Vai’s of the world aren’t songwriters and lack personality. Eddie was in a band and was creative. Sammy is talking out of his ass. They should have broke up after Roth left with 1984.

[@victorblack6995]

It's going on nearly 40 years of consistent cringe spewing from the mere presence of Sammy Hagar for me. My stomach dropped when I heard he joined Van Halen back in 1985, and my worst fears were realized when I started to hear the songs from the 5150 album on the radio. It was a heartbreak for me because I was too young to see them play live when Dave was in the band, and THIS abomination calling itself Van Halen was what I had to witness! NO THANKS! I walked away in disgust at that point and have never looked back since. The same way I did with Def Leppard and Kiss all around the same time. I still play and enjoy the early albums of course, but Sammy's petty insults on top of the injury he's already caused to the legacy of Van Halen is totally disgusting! I think Mike, Joe and co should walk away from this now with the last shred of dignity they have left, and try to forget they were ever on team BELCHER!

[@almosthuman56]

You are correct. Belcher sucks!

[@DanTesta58]

Came for the memes and stayed for the latest episode of Revisionist History with Sammy B.

[@almosthuman56]

[@Kinger1625]

I’m still waiting to see a video of MeanStreet after calling out Joe to play a song they weren’t gonna play……what a tool. Satch can play…and I’m glad he didn’t try to be EVH, as he couldn’t. But….Vic was playing Summer Nights without a Trans Trem on tour with Sam, which is another reason he got Satch allegedly. He’s just a joke. Dave’s out there living his life, and not trying to make a buck off his old band. Sam just won’t shut his mudder-fawwwking mouth! Which is making me truly dislike the man. Thanks Ralph as always, ya never disappoint, unlike Belcher and co…❤

[@almosthuman56]

Thank you, Fuck belcher!

[@MKmarcos97]

I hate EVH for making this guy rich (but not that famous), Jeez...

[@jameswinfield1721]

Satriani is a great player but NO killer riffs . Plus Eddie looks fukkin cool too !

[@BlindArthurBlake]

I saw Kenny Aronoff (sp?) back in 2013 playing for John Fogerty. I thought he was a little heavy handed, I dunno

[@michaelloftin4799]

I'm laughing out loud at these pictures!!!❤

[@6StringBuckeye917]

Ok here's the deal. Joe Satriani is a great guitarist. I'm sure he was great in 1977 but when the Van Halen debut album came out it's obvious that Satch became (like Many players) a post Van Halen guitarist. There are hundreds of great rock guitar players but four basic categories Pre Jimi, Post Jimi, Pre Edward and Post Edward. I love Van Gina, I'll admit but I would kill Sam in guitar onstage

[@rich52569]

True, most players did, a few exceptions like Randy, but most of what the 80's hair metal was based of Ed's playing of the first album. But with that said, there are some like Joe and Steve Vai that took it further than Ed - not a popular opinion but a truthful one.

[@2hi2dye]

Omg what the hell was that thing at the start of the video!!??

[@chucknien74]

5150 was good album, if you werent expecting VH, lol. Other than 3 songs by montrose there is nothing sammy has done that really is worth listening to, in my opinion. 5150 was sammy pinnacle and that was suspect at best.

[@acorn-yy1gi]

When I was 13 and Trans Ams were the hip & cool car, I thought Trans Am Highway Wonderland was a great song.

[@MarkTurner-vs7uc]

True. Eddie rarely played well. I have seen him play like total crap. The last tour he couldn't play at all. Lots of videos. Notice that 12 year old kids that never saw a guitar before can play this stuff. It's all just luck. Do you admire luck?

[@musicstream26]

Hope Sammy takes a flight on lynyrd skynyrd's private jet for saying Joe is best guitarist he's played with.

[@tcollier5460]

Satriani is better than EVH! Joe is a complete player and knows music theory, he taught half the shredders in the 80s like Alex Skolnick, Hammett and Gary Holt

[@jason698]

Music is subjective there is no greatest or best. Stop with the childish comments already. Ok young lady

[@tcollier5460]

@@jason698 Fair enough, but many player's are overrated!

[@ChazinFl1]

Satriani is technically great, but very BORING to listen to more than 10 minutes. Eddie, on the other hand, had the magic of song writing, and a magic right hand/pick technique. Not even close! EVH ALL DAY!!

[@almosthuman56]

I agree. He is very boring live.

[@brihiggins]

Satch has always been better than Eddie. Eddie could never record an album like Surfing with the Alien. Just sayin

[@almosthuman56]

And Satch cant record "Fair Warning" He proved on Howard Stern he could not play the intro to "Mean Street". Just sayin.

[@danooch1137]

I like Sammy Hager

[@Scottocaster6668]

🥒😙💨

[@donkarnage6032]

Wow. This video is next level pathetic. Eddie is above Satriani no doubt. However, got to take into account that most of the time that Sammy was in VH that Eddie was having drug/alcohol problems. Dealing with someone who has drug related issues is a lot different than dealing with a sober person. The VH brothers didn’t/don’t like Sammy because he exposed how bad Eddies drug problems were.

[@almosthuman56]

Some friend to air dirty laundry for selling books. Fuck him. He was no friend.

[@donkarnage6032]

@@almosthuman56 They definitely weren't friends at the time. All Sammy did was confirm what many people already knew about Eddie's drug problems. I remember EVH calling into radio shows around 2002-04 being absolutely trashed. I am a big fan of EVH music but the guy had problems. Pretending they didn't exist or covering them up doesn't help anybody especially Eddie when he was still with us.
