Yeah Sammy can sing, but damn, it's hard to beat DLR as a frontman in his prime. The best rock band in the world, and it was only 1 album in.

We saw this tour in 1979 in Rochester NY and i read it was their first headlining tour. It was great. Tickets were ten bucks! Good memories for sure.

Fucking awesome! It was so rare to see bands live anywhere but live it wasn't like now. We had the Midnight Special and that was about it. Going to concerts back then was so fucking awesome! Shows were listed in the newspaper, you heard it on the radio if they even played them on the radio and word of mouth. It was such a great experience. Nothing fancy just the band rocking out!

If we could freeze Dave in a bottle so that this is how he’s remembered that would be great. Because there was a small window of 4 or 5 years where he was an unstoppable force of nature and probably the coolest guy on the planet. We gotta remember him that way instead of the unfortunate clown show he morphed into 😎👍

I was 7 years old in Fresno and about 4 years shy of my first exposure to VH, which along with RUSH were the only things on my mind as a kid. Both were influential so it’s weird to find out they didn’t get along. When I started playing music myself and discovering other guitar-based bands I got away from Eddie. Then Sammy entered and I couldn’t feel the music they made together. I don’t know why because I liked Sammy and Van Halen, but there was something different that I couldn’t get into.

There has never truly been any match or anyone that really even comes close to Edward Van Halen.
