@@markfrost2707 Not to insult you…BUT, you’re very wrong in that belief. Our generations Mozart. EVH was a genius. The man wrote and recorded music EVERY day of his late childhood, teen, and adult years, up until the day he died. It would be amazing to hear the 5150 vault of his recordings.
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. Feel like you get to know them better than just the typical Jeff Spicoli schtick in most VH interviews. My $0.02.
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.
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.
@@Heartstrong_Productions yeah I absolutely love Eddie but he had a pretty huge ego back then! However he did deserve it because he was the best he changed the way guitar was played, he could be black out drunk and not hit a bad note, every guitar player loved him and still does so no one could really say anything. Definitely nothing modest about Eddie and I say that with all due respect because he’s one of my favorites!
@@peanutbutterisfu I spent a fair amount of time in the entertainment industry. Eddie was talented, but there were guys like Reb Beach that existed even in his time that I would argue had no problem beating him out on a technical level. Ego is not something I have time for. Confidence is something I can respect. Arrogance is the product of someone who has not been humbled.
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 just found out Ted Templeman produced For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, and it is by far, my favourite Van Hagar record. This guy truly made Van Halen's sound.
Unlawful was definitely the most purely raw, hard hitting Hagar album, in my opinion. It never surprised me when I found out Templeman was at the helm.
DLR was part of the line up that most people know as the original and he's one hell of a front man but Sammy is the better singer and an actual musician. In any other band, Sammy would be known as a guitar hero, that's how good he was but he decided to take the role of lead singer in a band with the best guitarist of all time and made amazing music
Great 👍 interview Bob Costas one of the best at interviewing!! Eddie and Sammy cool 😎 to see them in this setting 🎸 Van Halen is definitely my #1 rock band 🎸!!
Ed was so unaware of how impactful he was. Also of how good he was. He is the greatest guitar player who ever lived, had more impact than anyone ever, and he answers the question like he is an average player which is why everyone lived him and respected him so much.
He was aware , just never bragged . The closest he ever bragged was when asked about the changing music scene with grunge and the NEW guitar players he said " No one makes me sweat . "

This was such a special time. It's sad that the shit involving management and substances got in the way of Eddie's relationship with Sammy. 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
sam smiles and pokes ed to tell a wild story but is then pissed when ed says his wildest time was in 78 when roth was in the band. sam thought he was gonna be included in the story.
I don't know if he was pissed but he definitely seemed to imply he had a wild story to tell during the Hagar era lol and must have happened not too long before the interview
@1:17 Bob....DONT MENTION THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He did....you can see Ed and Sam instantly start to weave out of that question.....very touchy subject, and in fact Michael Anthony had a "contract" (that was never enforced) that took his pay out of royalties for song writing.
Samuel Roy Hagar (Monterey, California; 13 de octubre de 1947), más conocido como Sammy Hagar, es un guitarrista de rock, cantante y compositor estadounidense. Fue miembro de Van Halen y, a principios de los años 1970, de la banda de rock Montrose. Primo del músico Ken Tamplin. Actualmente es el vocalista del supergrupo de hard rock Chickenfoot.[1] Esta figurado en el puesto 12 en el listado Los 100 mejores vocalistas del Metal de todos los tiempos.
It saddens me to see Eddie taking tokes of cigarettes on many of these interviews etc. My brother is fighting the same stage 4 lung cancer and tumors. 43 years of smoking cigarettes....it will catch up to you. Undoubtedly, in some way.
For sure. Everything will. At some point your body will give up sadly. Smoking, drinking, drug use..... everything will catch up to you at some point. Some things faster than others. If you never give yourself a break then its gonna be too much at some point. Hope your brother is doing better!
I agree it's a horrible addiction, it killed my Father and he didn't want to die, who does? I just wish they came out with something besides Chantix. I wish I'd never started. It's a dreadful addiction. Smoking is the devil incarnate.
@@TheOpinionatedGuitarist Good for you! My brother passed away last summer. It’s never to late to stop! Went to Van Halen tribute band at a club and it was fabulous……all us old farts mixed with an interesting group of 20-30 something’s that are into it.
The interviewer doesn't/didn't understand the difference between hard rock and heavy metal..Van Halen is hard rock and Metallica is heavy metal for comparison.
Not bad Costas, not bad. Always funny how people think loud distorted guitar music has to be "heavy metal". You could play pop music with heavy guitar tones and it's still pop, not heavy metal.
When suggesting Mike and Al weren't really involved much in VH music process . Ed says with much enthusiasm that >Mike was "more involved" . Curious considering the nasty stuff i've heard him say about his contributions during later interviews .
Never really liked the Sammy Hagar era of VH, but to be fair to the guy he is way the fuck cooler than Roth as a person. I can't imagine what a relief it would have been to shed that embarrassing noise bag and replace him with this chill dude.
Michael had 1/4 publishing for decades. 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!
Ed wrote all the music after he built 5150 . Donn Landee and Eddie made demos of all the 1984 songs with Ed playing guitar , bass and drums and keyboard too . I think it's kind of a dick move but Ed made Mike a sessions player .
@@akfreed6949 I think Ed underestimated how much Michael Anthony's vocals had to do with their signature sound. When I think of VH I am hearing ' ain't talkin bout LOVE!! ' in his familiar high pitch as much as I am thinking of Ed's 'brown' tone or his brother's unique snare sound. Nobody would mistake any VH song for any other group but they were missing something when Mike wasn't there.

Eddie Van Halen is a Legend, this is when business was good. RIP Eddie, every interview he is smoking 🚬. I'm sure he was warned by his doctors. Nobody deserves that destiny.
Eddie couldnt go 5 minutes without a cigarette yet denied it was what killed him--perhpas saving other's lives...but his narcissism wouldnt allow for him to admit he made a fatal mistake...it was his metal picks he RARELY used, so says him
It always cracks me up when I hear musicians try to explain music that they wrote. When it really gets down to it they just felt the music, wrote a lyric that seem to match and then try to connect all the parts into a complete song. People over analyze these things. It’s just music
Some things don’t need an explanation either. Poundcake definitely explains itself. “Thick As A Brick” deserves discussion. If one needs an explanation of something as simple as Poundcake, one is probably not going to understand “Thick As A Brick”. This makes sense given what Thick As A Brick is about 😂
Heard coughing from Eddie while smoking !! Signs of health roblems as time goes by! Sad we don't stop habits that will kill us! I stopped in 93..and I'm still here on God's beautiful earth!!..I'm 75 yrs old ..some health problems ..but still on work force!! ..R.I.P Eddie hope you accepted CHRIST JESUS as lord and savior? Had a lot of time to do so!!..💌🙏🙏
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.
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.
God, i have seen some videos of Eddie lately and he was totally wacked out, rotten teeth just disgusting! 🤢🤮 How did he do that to himself!? Sammy said he could hardly stand him!
F*ck doe NOT have it's etymology in for unlawful carnal knowledge. It is not an acronym. Comes from a dutch word, but besides the point, jesus these guys were middle aged at this point.
“I kinda left a mark, you know?” -Yes, Ed… we definitely know it. RIP king.
Yes he did!
They left a bunch of marks and stains
He was always humble..He never became an egomaniac..
“King” is the name given to Robbin Crosby.

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.
Ed was . And they were great friends . Til one day Sam tried to literally take over the band . Wait til Al's book comes out and read the TRUTH .

Thank you for the soundtrack to my life .
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.

Sammy seem so mature and well spoken….. this was cool energy 😎
I just found out Ted Templeman produced For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, and it is by far, my favourite Van Hagar record. This guy truly made Van Halen's sound.
More than most understand.
So did Andy Johns it had producers
Ted produced Sammy’s vocals. Andy John’s produced the band. Drums, Bass and Guitar.
There was never any Van Hagar .......... Only Van Halen 100% 😎
Unlawful was definitely the most purely raw, hard hitting Hagar album, in my opinion. It never surprised me when I found out Templeman was at the helm.
VH was great with DLR...But how could you not like VH with Sammy Hagar. They made great music.
DLR was part of the line up that most people know as the original and he's one hell of a front man but Sammy is the better singer and an actual musician.
