@@Greg042869 Michael is one of the most underrated guys in rock! He can play his ass off and sing his ass off. He never got the credit he should have for his contribution to VH. Eddie and Alex are two of the greats musicians of all time and they had an equally talented bass player. Never heard either one of the VH brothers ever say anything good about Michael or Sammy. Michael took in the ass from the VH brothers on the last tour and signed a waiver to never get royalties again from his efforts in the band. Hell they even took his image off of the website and other stuff. Says a lot about the VH brothers. Sammy is a class act and it is no surprise that Sammy and Mike are BFF's.

I was a huge HUGE Van Halen fan from 1982 on and when Sammy signed on we were all skeptics, but it worked, for some weird reason.

Sammy is a classy guy, always, you gotta admire him, because he could really dis Van Roth if he wanted to but he stays classy and doesn't do it.

Sammy has the best attitude in the music business as it gets. He has no jealousy or grudges against anybody in the business. He praises the great guitar players and vocalists and is so honest how can you not love the guy. Anyone who cannot get along with Sammy has the problem. It's not him.

Sammy has always been a super cool classy guy. A great rocker who loves music.Dave well he just loves dave.

They were two completely different bands, love them both!

Dave knew he couldn't sing on Sammy's level and that's why he avoided him throughout that whole tour. That said, I can't believe Dave still won't speak to him though.

Sammy always seems to be in the right state of mind. Chill, happy and relaxed. That something many people don't have in their life.

Sammy is the real deal and completely cool. VH had their best years when he was there...

What a laid back guy. Being that relaxed is why he looks so young.

Sammy is one classy guy. True to his roots and loves his job...entertains the fans and play good music.

You want to have a discussion about completely worthless number 1 albums? There's a lot of them. Hell, Milli Vanilli had a number 1 album during Van Hagar's heyday. Second they had a number 2 record before Hagar that was huge and their career was at it's peak when Hagar joined. Third with Roth they were a rock band, with Hagar they became a straight up pop band. No doubt the Hagar era expanded VH commercial appeal with all those sappy ballads but so what? I never bought a Van Hagar album, too pop and I'm not a rock ballad guy but I still love those early VH albums.

I thank David for his Public Service as ENT.

Van Halen’s best days we’re behind them when David Lee Roth left. Most artists only have a certain creative shelf life or are in that zone of creativity for so long. I just think people refused to let Van Halen go and stubbornly rebelled while pursuing inferior music. The David Lee Roth hate was about losing something more then anything. Ain’t Talkin Bout Love, Runnin With the Devil.. those songs rocks then and now. The Sammy Hagar years.. forgettable.
