Eddie RIP. Sammie era of Van Halen, was the best! This is the music that I miss so much. Music with a message, with sense, and beautiful guitars. I thank God that I was blessed to grow up with this music.
Did you ever see DLR today? sounds like shit LOL I just saw Sammy at West Palm Beach Sun Fest 2015 with Michel Anthony. Classic VH at its best... no DLR bull shit, but just fun at West Palm Beach. Sammy played with the crowd..... I think u want I mean?
Yes he nailed it. Sammy had sheer talent, exceptional passion and creativity when he played with VH. DLR was an exceptional entertainer and his vocal range could not be matched, even at today's standard. I never tried to compare the two because both were entirely different in style. Unfortunately dumbfucks on here always try and draw a comparison when it is not necessary. Bottom line, VH was an amalgamation of the best talent during its era and will always be one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
So many people arguing about Sammy vs. Roth, but so few people actually enjoying that amazing synth sound and playing ! I know Eddie is an awesome guitarist, but letting Hagar play the guitar gives Eddie the chance of playing synths live ! And it's beautiful ! Love the sound of that drum too ! IMO this Van Halen era was amazing !
One of their absolute best songs. Love to watch this video over and over and see the look of happiness on all their faces, just loving playing for the fans and each other. Thanks VH and forever Eddie!
My favorite era of VH. What good times were had listening to VH. May God bless & comfort the loved ones of EH! Cannot believe he has passed on. This 1 hurts! RIP
GOD bless Sammy,. he may not be a great guitar player., but goddam,. he gave this performance meaning,. and feeling... and it may not be EVH,. but he made everyone who listens to this feel it in their bones...
My favorite Van Halen song of all, mainly because of three instruments Eddie plays in the song. He was schooled on the piano and his brother on the guitar, it wasn't until later at a young age they decided to switch instruments. Eddie started playing guitar and his brother the drums, and as they say, the rest is history. Eddie played piano, keyboard, and lead guitar in recording this song - that's why it's my favorite. But live, obviously he could only choose one as Hagar fills in on the role of lead guitar for this one. He was a great musician and song writer, Eddie Van Halen.
Eddie was such a legend not only creating master pieces in guitar but also at the keyboards like this song and jump! Eddie had multiple talents started out in his music journey young learning the piano mostly by ear as he had indicated in interviews that he was as not good reading music! He was just so naturally gifted, didn’t matter what instrument he took on, piano or guitar, he would be destined for greatness!
Rest In Peace and Joy, Eddie. Prayers for you and your loved ones. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Rest with the angels. See you in the Celestial Kingdom. Your soul lives on for eternity. 🙏
Any band that can touch your soul and make your spirit wanna soar is beyond just a “band” they’re healers of broken souls, they make you not wanna surrender your soul to the darkness, they make you wanna trudge the road to happy destiny, a lyrical healing! 😢😢😢 RIP Eddie! 😢🤘🤘🤘
Yeah, I agree, but I like DLR better. There are some live albums coming out with DLR'S vocals untouched. I viewed them on On Tap's (it's a radio show) Facebook page, there was two of them Runnin' With The Devil and Panama. Listened to both of them for 40 seconds, his vocals were terrible.
Wahid Zaman Totally true! DLR can't sing for a meal today. Sammy has always had solid vocals & twrrific song writing abilities, great emotion & excellent guitar playing.
Rockin Angel yeah it's pretty sad David Lee Roth actually could sing in his early hay day but he must have been to work in the voice too hard or drinking too much or a little something else
Hagar is good on guitar in this too. Saw this band (with Hagar) in north Jersey many years ago. One of the best Rock shows I've ever been to. Had seats that were about 15 rows back from the stage. A most memorable night....for sure.
I only discovered Van Halen with this album, 5150. I had heard Jump on the radio, but I was all of 9 years old when 1984 came out. So I grew up a Sammy fan. I have a lot of respect now for the Roth years, but Van Halen was always fronted by Sammy in my mind.
John R. I'm so happy to know someone is paying attention to the rock and roll that has made us. But I feel that we as a society are failing. Anything goes right? Ignorance is bliss !!!
Newcomer to van halen but im a guitarist and was blown away to learn sammy played all the guitar in this song! Love the music the message and the story behind the message and music! Rock on motherfuckers!
Im probably one of the few that like Sammy and David Lee for different reasons but can never underestimate the power Eddie brought to Van Halen adding to Alex's drumming. RIP Eddie!
2:45 you really see Ed's expression of how the sound just all clicks together in the band. That last note of the solo and the keyboard just BOOM come together and it's just perfect. Keep on rockin VH
Compared to Sammy, Roth never did have it. Compared to Sammy that is. Don't misunderstand me Roth was a hoss as well. But Sammy is was the golden boy in that band.
People often forget what a good guitarist Sammy is, he is far too modest about his own ability saying he will only play guitar if he has too...but he's an awesome guitarist!
You're right. Hagar was the best thing to happen to VH. He brought new life to VH when they needed it. He's an awesome singer, musician and performer. The VH brothers let their ego's get the best of them, and let Sammy go. Bet, they have regretted that, even tho they would'nt admit it. Hagar is very good, period!! Love The Red Rocker!!
Sammy could always hold his own on guitar. Not EVH but he played with Ronnie Montrose,Gary Philh,Neal Schon and now with Joe Satriani. Hagar will always be one of the best rock singers/musicians on the planet.
+redhead5150 Saw Ronnie perform & spent time with him afterward talking about cancer, and music. I was shocked when I learned what'd happened. Back in the day with Sammy happier times
Sammy has more range with his voice than Roth. The original VH lineup did some fantastic songs, but the years with Sammy were pretty great too. Plus I think that Eddie gets along better with Sammy than DLR, there's not all that tension.
Well, sleep and dreams, that's all that I crave I travel far across the Milky Way To my master I become a slave Til we meet again, some other day This is great stuff!
glorious! yes! This is the best live VanHagar song video excerpt from a pro shot concert I've ever seen of Vanhagar! Everybody's EVERYBODY'S! smiling, relaxed, chilled, on cue, professional, eddie sweating profusely still givin his all and his 'signature' smile in the midst of the intensity-so cool to see him on keyboards for a change, and sammy showin his brilliant guitar talent as well :) michael knows its a winner and is puttin in his all, but when hasn't he? mike's always been the real glue of the band, and even alex is smiling, alot! and he usually doesnt! What a well rounded beautifully done/performed live song 'Love Walks In' ! now I've gotta get this dvd concert! and showin hot hot blonds in the crowd!! I'm single, 47yo guy never married, no children, very -extremely romantic, would love to play electric guitar and serenade this song to the right girl, but all the ones I love are married with at least one child or more...........just lookin at them they bring out the best in me.........if only I could embrace one of them and make out in a long romantic passionate kiss with them, i'd die a happy sailor.........every guy and girl deserves their fairy tale dream come true.........we all do............but no matter what, ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins and receive him into your heart-he's all you really ever need-more than a woman-more than anything, you got him-you got everything, heaven and eternity for ever with him..........so if you never get to do things you desired, dreamed etc when Jesus lives in your heart, all your dreams and more will come true! More than you can ever fathom................ Jesus loves you all so very much! - David cz at: emailforyou11@gmail.com
When I saw them live in '89 Sammy said as a lead in to this song that they (VH after DLR left) stayed in the studio until they came up with a good song, and this was it. Still love 5150, still love this song, and I still love the DLR years as well... Great stuff:)
![Van Halen - Dreams (Official Music Video) [HD]](/img/n.gif)
People often forget just HOW GOOD a guitarist Sammy is. And, as far as singing,, this is THE BEST VH line-up.
Yup!Sammy rocks!
Totally!
Pure talent
Eddie RIP. Sammie era of Van Halen, was the best! This is the music that I miss so much. Music with a message, with sense, and beautiful guitars. I thank God that I was blessed to grow up with this music.
Only to end up in this horrible godforsaken world.
Sammy took Van Halen to a level no other did. It's magic on the stage with Sammy and Mike with Eddie and Alex
Eddie you were simply the best! Such a big part of my teen years. Loved watching you play & that smile you would flash! 🙏 RIP
RIP Eddie!!! This year sucks
Nota 6
RIP Eddie. Thank you for all the years of being there for me growing up to real music. Your legacy will not be forgotten. 🙏
25 years ago my husband and I walked down the aisle to Love Comes Walking In! RIP Eddie❤
Sammy never takes the easy way out of any vocal part live. He nails it.
hay Fuck DLR!!!!!!!!
King New Jersey
hey now come on. Sammy is better but David was great too
Did you ever see DLR today? sounds like shit LOL I just saw Sammy at West Palm Beach Sun Fest 2015 with Michel Anthony. Classic VH at its best... no DLR bull shit, but just fun at West Palm Beach. Sammy played with the crowd..... I think u want I mean?

I saw Sammy in WPB also
It was AAAA great
So many people arguing about Sammy vs. Roth, but so few people actually enjoying that amazing synth sound and playing ! I know Eddie is an awesome guitarist, but letting Hagar play the guitar gives Eddie the chance of playing synths live ! And it's beautiful ! Love the sound of that drum too ! IMO this Van Halen era was amazing !
Let's NOT forget Sammy is an awesome guitarist too!
He'll yes!!!!
Tell that to the idiot who said he cant play lmao.Sammg was the best thing that happened to that band
I was blown away w eddy on synths and sammy on guitar
One of their absolute best songs. Love to watch this video over and over and see the look of happiness on all their faces, just loving playing for the fans and each other. Thanks VH and forever Eddie!
One of the greatest bands in the history of music. Fucking epic.
I have to say I love the Van Hagar days.
I am pretty darn adequate. How are you?@NguyenXuanSolomon
Sammy is EASILY the best singer this band ever had. 5150 was their BEST album by FAR!!!
It was actually van halens 3rd best selling
1984 sold 12,000,000
VH1 sold 10,000,000
5150 sold 6,000,000
Rylee Mabalot Sales numbers don't necessarily mean an album is better/worse but i'd agree that 1984 was their best. Then 5150, VH1 & OU812.
And they won more awards and a Grammy with Sammy..
YES!!!!!!!
5150 is my favorite rock album of all time!
The lyrics to this song are just beautiful. God I love Sammy Hagar's voice.
Of all of Van Halen's songs--and they have many, many fine tunes--not one can top this one! It is so majestic- and regal-sounding ... it cooks!
Seeing Sammy play lead guitar with VH just kicks a$$, even after all these years.
Priceless is when Eddie handed me a pick at a show in Greensboro. Still gives me chills
This song always gives me goosebumps for some reason.
I think people forget that Michael Anthony has got a set of pipes on him as well.
👍🏼 Or never knew/realized his voice WAS (is) literally the unique (flavor) of VH harmonies.
One of the greatest songs ever!! 80's Forever!!!
rest in peace, eddie. you will be sorely missed.
Eddie died?? Omg r u serious?!
IN SPADES !!!!!!
One of my alltime favorites.
My favorite era of VH. What good times were had listening to VH. May God bless & comfort the loved ones of EH! Cannot believe he has passed on. This 1 hurts! RIP
Absolute favorite of VAN HALEN! And Sammy is just as good as EDDIE VAN HALEN!!! THE MAGIC IS FROM ALL OF THEM!!!
I can not agree more
Whenever I listen to it, I always think "Love Walks In" is the one of their greatest songs !!
Sammy is so talented!!!!! They all seem to work together so well!!!
Thanks.
Almost brings a tear to my eye. I truely miss the 80s.
Great guitar solo!
VH always had killer vocals all around. Eddie and Michael together were amazing.
love this band love Sammy
you have class young lady
I'd say Sammy is a great guitar player - performer by any standards!
anyone else just see eddies smile of approval with sammy playin guitar..like a teacher watching his student...wonderful
GOD bless Sammy,. he may not be a great guitar player., but goddam,. he gave this performance meaning,. and feeling... and it may not be EVH,. but he made everyone who listens to this feel it in their bones...
sammy van halen is his codename!
Really..good vibes..
sammy voice is unique
He actually can shred
He's a bad ass guitar player. Wtf. Lol.
My favorite Van Halen song of all, mainly because of three instruments Eddie plays in the song. He was schooled on the piano and his brother on the guitar, it wasn't until later at a young age they decided to switch instruments. Eddie started playing guitar and his brother the drums, and as they say, the rest is history. Eddie played piano, keyboard, and lead guitar in recording this song - that's why it's my favorite. But live, obviously he could only choose one as Hagar fills in on the role of lead guitar for this one. He was a great musician and song writer, Eddie Van Halen.
Love this song. I just close my eyes and great part of my past come back...
This is one of several Van Halen signature songs, which only Sammy can do--another is "Dreams." Those two are anthems!
This song is super dope. Even live. How many bands can sound the same live as on record.
Eddie was such a legend not only creating master pieces in guitar but also at the keyboards like this song and jump! Eddie had multiple talents started out in his music journey young learning the piano mostly by ear as he had indicated in interviews that he was as not good reading music! He was just so naturally gifted, didn’t matter what instrument he took on, piano or guitar, he would be destined for greatness!
i absolutly love this song, its definitly one of their best (and my favorite:))
Sammy put Van Halen in the mainstream with a wider target audience. He made chart toppers!
This song is beautiful....right up there with "change" and "when its love"
Rest In Peace and Joy, Eddie. Prayers for you and your loved ones. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Rest with the angels. See you in the Celestial Kingdom. Your soul lives on for eternity. 🙏
I love this song, i get so emotional when i hear it... One Of The Best Love Songs Ever!!!
Any band that can touch your soul and make your spirit wanna soar is beyond just a “band” they’re healers of broken souls, they make you not wanna surrender your soul to the darkness, they make you wanna trudge the road to happy destiny, a lyrical healing! 😢😢😢 RIP Eddie! 😢🤘🤘🤘
Sammy will always be my favorite van halen frontman.........he may not have the flamboyancy like DLR, but he sings way way better than him..
Yeah, I agree, but I like DLR better. There are some live albums coming out with DLR'S vocals untouched. I viewed them on On Tap's (it's a radio show) Facebook page, there was two of them Runnin' With The Devil and Panama. Listened to both of them for 40 seconds, his vocals were terrible.

Rockin Angel yeah it's pretty sad David Lee Roth actually could sing in his early hay day but he must have been to work in the voice too hard or drinking too much or a little something else
And really good looking. That hair!!
You just can't help but smile when you hear this song and watch this video. I think EVH felt the exact same way!
Vam Halen is still my favorite band
Love this song.... love Van Halen!!
Sammy made rock history in that band
+Luis Velez agree ! best combo ever !
greatest band in the world
biggest mistake the Van Halen brothers did was bringing back that has been DLR , Sammi was better the band hasn't been the same
hmmm ,what history was this?
+George Harris Yes, David Lee can't sing anymore, but the original Van Halen 1977-1981, kicks ass all over van hagar!
Have always been a Van Halen fan, but when Sammy "the red rocker" Hagar joined the band, nothin was ever the same after that. ♥
I miss the 80's... The BEST time EVER!!
Sammy,my goat,has amazing vocals,he never disappoints❤️🔥!
I love this song. Van Halen is awesome.
One of my most favorite Van Halen songs. Never seen this done yet where it fails to draw your inner most feelings out.
Well said...
Hagar is good on guitar in this too. Saw this band (with Hagar) in north Jersey many years ago. One of the best Rock shows I've ever been to. Had seats that were about 15 rows back from the stage. A most memorable night....for sure.
the 70's and 80's to mid 90's great time for music, now all we got now is SHIT!
Sad u feel this way. Music is exciting and limitless imho.
I only discovered Van Halen with this album, 5150. I had heard Jump on the radio, but I was all of 9 years old when 1984 came out. So I grew up a Sammy fan. I have a lot of respect now for the Roth years, but Van Halen was always fronted by Sammy in my mind.
Some of Sammy’s best work in this tune..
He's pretty damned good with the guitar too! Love how he played this. Hope I can learn some of his style on my guitar.
I'm going to spend the next hour on Montrose now.
John R. I'm so happy to know someone is paying attention to the rock and roll that has made us. But I feel that we as a society are failing. Anything goes right? Ignorance is bliss !!!
***** What language is that?
Awe Red Rocker, you will always be the greatest in my book and and my favorite!!!
this is the 80's for me
This song takes me right back... Love it. This album was the soundtrack to my H.S. experience.
Newcomer to van halen but im a guitarist and was blown away to learn sammy played all the guitar in this song! Love the music the message and the story behind the message and music! Rock on motherfuckers!
Im probably one of the few that like Sammy and David Lee for different reasons but can never underestimate the power Eddie brought to Van Halen adding to Alex's drumming. RIP Eddie!
One of my favorite.
Sammy is without a doubt the best singer rock n roll has ever had.
2:45 you really see Ed's expression of how the sound just all clicks together in the band. That last note of the solo and the keyboard just BOOM come together and it's just perfect. Keep on rockin VH
Miss EVH! Thank the Lord we have UA-cam to look back at his genius!
You can just tell a Van Halen song from a mile away! Such a distinctive sound after all these years!
They went pop with Hagar, listen to the Classic Van Halen 1977-1981.
what a masterpiece... R.I.P Eddie Van Halen
Beautiful!!!!!
I absolutely love seeing Sammy on the guitar!!!!
Sammy is an excellent guitar player as well...
Van Halen rocks always and foever. best video ever with sammy H. WHO agrees? let's see those thumbs
Great union between Sammy Hagar and Van Halen...Sammy completed the band with his talented voice!
anything Sammy touches turns to gold.
Classic van hagar
Love it when Eddie, who is one of the top 5 lead guitarist of all times, starts cheering on Sammy, when the Red Rocker is riffing on his guitar!!!
ohhhh i love this song...
Sammy, Eddie and Michael harmonize so freaking well.
Sammy still has it Dave does not!
+hando88c I prefer Sammy than Dave
+Tiago Lopes Me too but love both
Compared to Sammy, Roth never did have it. Compared to Sammy that is. Don't misunderstand me Roth was a hoss as well. But Sammy is was the golden boy in that band.
People often forget what a good guitarist Sammy is, he is far too modest about his own ability saying he will only play guitar if he has too...but he's an awesome guitarist!
"Love Walks in like some kind of..
.ALIEN."
I'm so fortunate to have lived through this era of music. The best.
Sammy is a great guitar player in his own right and I'm surprised that Eddie let him play but I guess someone had to play keyboards-lol.
You're right. Hagar was the best thing to happen to VH. He brought new life to VH when they needed it. He's an awesome singer, musician and performer. The VH brothers let their ego's get the best of them, and let Sammy go. Bet, they have regretted that, even tho they would'nt admit it. Hagar is very good, period!! Love The Red Rocker!!
love the band 2019
best change of a frontman ever, sammy is awsome in guitar and vocals . 5150 one of the best albums of all time
Sammy could always hold his own on guitar. Not EVH but he played with Ronnie Montrose,Gary Philh,Neal Schon and now with Joe Satriani. Hagar will always be one of the best rock singers/musicians on the planet.
+redhead5150 Saw Ronnie perform & spent time with him afterward talking about cancer, and music. I was shocked when I learned what'd happened. Back in the day with Sammy happier times
There will never be another in our lifetime, at least. GOLDEN!!!
Righteous!

Sammy has more range with his voice than Roth. The original VH lineup did some fantastic songs, but the years with Sammy were pretty great too. Plus I think that Eddie gets along better with Sammy than DLR, there's not all that tension.
love this song, another gem from the boys !!
Well, sleep and dreams, that's all that I crave

Here remembering Eddie Van Halen. RIP Legend
Sammy is way more talented then david lee roth
I wouldn’t say that, until I saw this
Jesus... Another love song from Van Hagar... Thank God DLR is back in business!
Hagar is so much better than Roth
Awesome song there's nothing better than Van Halen with Sammy Haggar!
Sammy is a much better singer than Roth.
But no better guitarrist than Eddy
jorge rodriguez man and he just knows how to get that guitar sound in great
Seen them with both and couldn't agree more. Dave was more of a showman/entertainer but that was fine, too. Just loved the music!
Yes sir i agree sammy hagar is great!!!!
Damn right
Eddie was one off, the best guitarist in the world 🙏😥
