Back in the 1980s, I was a Hagar and Van Halen fan, so it was a dream come true when Sammy joined up with Eddie, Alex, and Michael. Roth's albums with Vai blew my mind! I am not an old fan who laments Roth leaving and Sammy joining. They went their own ways and, respectively, made some epic albums!🤘

Right, I like both the DLR and Hagar eras. I think people are finally coming around to the fact that it's okay to like both. I think DLR was the right man for the late 70s/early 80s and Hagar was the right man for the job in the late 80s/early 90s.

I love this. Eddie comes across as a lovely warm human being, and so humble about his ability’s. Sammy always laid back and positive with huge talent too. Great interview I’ve not seen before.

One of the best VH interviews I've seen. Bob pinned them down with some tough questions rather than letting them just completely joke around and run the show. They handled themselves well and gave some genuine insight as to their opinions on some things. Nice to see that for a change.

Confidence is something I can respect. Arrogance is the product of someone who has not been humbled.

Eddie in his post prime but still prime....sad how life takes a toll on all of us and aging and time is unstoppable. Would be awesome if we could all stay young forever.

I loved VH from the very first time I heard them. They immediately became my favorite band . I love a lot of different artists but I still put them in my top 5 all time favorites if not #1.

So sad at all the years lost w Ed and Sammy. Glad they reconciled before Eddie passed, but the amount of music we missed out on sucks so bad.

This was a great interview. Serious questions, really put them on the spot sometimes and you could tell they got a little uncomfortable but still answered honestly.

Great Interviewer. Its awesome to look back at when these guys got along

Clearly, the VH bros were very happy to see Sammy in the band not least because unlike DLR, Sammy is an accomplished musician. I'm glad they made peace before Eddie's tragic death

Bob Costas does a great job putting these guys on the spot. Looking back this interview is really poignant.

Rather this guy should given a dissertation on Mozart. Eddie Van Halen's music was INTELLIGENT rock. Many of his arrangements were exquisite. Brilliant. I still play 5150.

During Eddie's darkest day of full blown addiction, he got pissed (for no other reason than he was mad at the world) about Michael not being a contributing songwriter, which in all reality, he wasn't. However, they had the 4 way split since the beginning. Anyway, Michael agreed to relinquish his publishing. He was already a millionaire and he stated that he did it for the fans. He didn't want to upset the fans. He is an upstanding guy!

Costas has always been a great interviewer.

Edward Van Halen was a very lonely and sad individual. The 'smile' was a reaction to the distance he delt with when it came to honest social situations. Creative and inquisitive but so alone in his headspace. Many creators who leave marks like EVH were so isolated from all aspects of "normalcy". His self-hate and terrible insecurities lead to, as usual in these situations, self-medicating and terrible self-harm. It wasn't until much later in life, probably closer to his death that he landed his proverbial brilliance and found the loves of life that came too late with the onset of illness. Artists come and go. Ed was one of those artists. Nothing made him 'better' than anyone, but he certainly made things different for the canvas.

oh my Sammy The gay balladist

Man, at this point, David Lee Roth questions had to be tiresome. Part of the deal, I guess. Dave takes over every interview so it probably was less so for him, lol.
