But I don't want to Sammy-bash too much. Glad the guy is still around and is doing this tour with Satch. I'm excited about seeing it!
(And I feel like @la szum is going to come in and give us all shit for taking this off the rails in a pissy, negative direction…)
Haha! This thread has always been negative and pissy with the vibes----
That is why I made the other one
Best Of All Worlds Tour Thread 5150/Sammy/Satch/Van Halen
Figured this deserves its own thread at this point. Honestly, I didn't see this coming. Watching those clips from the Howard Stern Show where they announced the Tour and played a few songs made me so happy. Goosebump inducing!thegearforum.com
for those into enjoying life, and celebrating greatness, rather than playing the game where mediocre people
get to tell icons that they should be doing instead.
I WAS LOOKING AT MYSELF!!!!!Whatever, JT! I am one of the most positive people in my realm of influence. I know what's on my plate right now
and how I am dealing with it, and how much my efforts are appreciated by people who know me well.
Think and say what you want. Your dark insinuations will not bring me down, or deter me.

Well, you are fucking gorgeous, dude! Why you been keeping this from us!!

Yes, I vote for this gif over the Alan Thicke one… .
Just don't start comparing lyrics
For real. Say what you want about DLR's singing live (specially on Van Halen's comeback tour after Cherone) but that guy could throw down lyrics, and is probably top-5 frontman material across rock history.
Love Hagar's singing, but he could never write anything smart and tongue-in-cheek like this:
I think dlr fit the group wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better. He was a showman and over the top like musicians were back in that time. Hager is like rik derringer to me from back in the day: good musicians but not unique showmen. DLr could be steve martins brother now and last i heard he was doing vegas. sad. But with this new gig hager is a better fit for sure as eddie and his bro arent involved.Very well put, and I largely feel the same way. Like, the music is great. I just can’t handle DLR’s “obnoxious” persona.
My first album ever was 1984. I was amazed with the band, dig the big songs on it, but still found DLR unappealing.
It’s weird; I get why people like that era so much. It’s just not me. Could also very much be because I came of age in the Van Hagar era, and probably associate that with my youth.
DLR also wrote and plays all the acoustic rhythm guitar on that. Eddie is only on slide.
Sammy would be the go-to guy for a party, obviously, but I'd actually like to just sit and observe DLR do his thing for a bit. Maybe engage on occasion. I listened to some of his podcast a couple years ago and that dude is absolutely intelligent. I'm curious where the famous DLR ends and the real one begins.
Roth worked as an EMT for a while after dropping out of the spotlight, so there are quite a few layers to the guy.
Benny The Jet, was his teacher.
