Vocally in VH it’s Hagar hands down for me. I saw an interview with EVH shortly after Sammy joined saying he could now write anything and Sam could sing it, where as that wasn’t the case before. I’d love to hear your thoughts on his vocals on Don’t tell me from Balance, that one of my favourites. Great track and killer vocals as far as I’m concerned! Love the channel Ken hope you hit 1 millions soon! 🤘

LOVE THE VIDEO !! Ken is 100% correct about "straining" the vocal and ruining your voice. BUT Sammy is relaxed and you can hear it in his breathing. he has some "grit" in the vocal because it is acquired after years of perfecting the technique. So yes Ken you "feel" he is straining because most singers have to for those notes. I know he's not straining because I can hear it in the technique that I am familiar with. I am 53 and can nail this and "Source of Infection" as well. Technique DO NOT STRAIN.

I am really glad you got around to doing a video on Sammy Hagar. The guy has so much going for him. He was one of those people on welfare and food stamps and was able to get off both government handouts, which is admirable. Plus, he is a rock star in every sense of those two words, yet he is so down to earth with people. I saw him on a video where he was on a radio show and the radio host said he only said 4000 copies of his album and yet Sammy still congratulated him even though he has done much better than that by himself and with VH. That is a very humble person and it is refreshing to see from someone who has hit it big. Sammy is just a great guy all the way around. You can't help but like him.

Sammy is an amazing vocalist and musician, definitely one of my favorites.

I noticed on the recording "Why cant this be love" its played in C but I saw him a few a years ago on a Directv concert and Mona was the bassist and in that performance I noticed the song was lowered a half step to the key of B not Bflat just B , that may be why, hes preserved his voice so well over the years. Even Lou Gramm during the Head Games tour in 1979, had a song called. "Rev on the Red Line" the live version was sung much lower than the recorded version, but I wasnt put off by it, because Lou still sang it with passion as he did all his songs.

It sounds to me the “doubler” effect in the chorus vocals is perhaps slap-back echo around 20ms, a trick us guitar players use to achieve a big stereo sound live. Anyway, he then has an additional delay and reverb throughout the track. It sounds like they added a flanger effect to the bebop section in both the vocals and guitar. Killer track!

Very good analysis.👍 I agree, how the heck does Hagar still have a voice?? Not only that, he still sounds as good as ever, and he started around 50 years ago!!!

I'm from Brazil and I don't speak English. but I struggle to understand the English words. I understand musical language and I love Van Halen, thanks for the video. And yes, I'm still in love with Gabriela. 😊. A big hug for you, success. Kisses for Gabriela.

Sammy has been able to maintain his voice into his 70's. Amazing, great analysis.
