BH what interview are you referring to? I didn’t know Dave and Ed made amends, only Ed and Sammy. I mean obviously they got along, but after all the “he doesn’t want to be my friend” stuff both Ed and Dave said, I’d like to read an interview where Dave discussed them making up. Do you have any links? Just curious.
So tired of people dissing on DLR. He is who he is and in Van Halen, he was perfect for who they were. He kicked ass. They were fun and all bravado and he encapsulated that perfectly. You can play an instrument ALL your life and sound the same because it's the INSTRUMENT producing the actual sound. Your voice is your BODY and it changes over time for the majority of people, especially singers who yelp and howl. Give it a rest. Couch critics.
Agreed...Van Halen to me is based on all of the guys personalities combined. Van Halen wouldn't have been the same band without David Lee Roth. Just watching this interview, I can see how charged up David is about what Van Halen did as a band. I really feel that DLR is truly being genuine and positive about their experiences in the band...a lot of time has passed so enjoy the memories and leave the bad blood behind. We just lost Eddie Van Halen...isn't that bad enough?
Roth is an amazing character. He literally embodies a fictional character but that’s just him as a person lol. I would kill to meet that man, such a treasure trove of weird knowledge and stories lol.
Michael was always the guy who kind of didn't fit in. Personally , I always liked his high pitched vocals, but unfortunately, he isn't as cool as Alex, Eddie and David, so he has been left out.
@@bluepilldevolution7914 anyone is cooler than Alex personality wise..give me a break! Michael Anthony seemed to be the life of the party of the band after DLR left. I would NEVER say MA wasn't "cool".
@Glens Maelstrom Dude Michael fit in like a key in a lock what are you talking about. The dude was a completely badass. Do you have some sort of bias towards bassists? The only reason he’s not there is because he married Sammy Hagar.
Eddie's wearing the same clothes I wear. No matter what he accomplished, he was an everyday guy. He understood us regular dudes. That's why we love him and we'll miss him forever.
Brandon Long since 2008, he had been sober but the consequences of history of prolonged heavy smoking caught him. Despite the harrowing ordeal of effects of chemo he'd been through, he was still managed to smile and able to post a picture together with a fan who asked. He was gentle soul. I think Eddie died peacefully.
Hilarious! Totally entertaining! After all these years, the old magic is still there! There's still such great energy between those guys.... even when they're just talking.
I was lucky enough to see VH twice in high school back in 1981 and then again in 1982. When I look back all I can think of is I thought that this type of music would stay popular forever, the arenas were sold out !!! VH was the best !! I would have never guessed that bands like Van Halen would totally fade away and people would listen to the garbage that they do today.
Have you seen him in 2015? That was his last year in activity and the best he looked since he was young. Cancer is just like that man. When it hits you, it hits you hard.
Amazing Dave reconciled with Ed and Al...Everyone seems to be getting along here..What a history these three had..Man I miss Eddie...gotta be hell for Janie, Val, Al and Wolfie + Sam and Michael + Dave
I think Dave and Ed were kinda tight . That's what pissed off Ed when Dave quit . Most of the Dave era they weren't making shit . They made it really big and the most money they made with Dave was 1984 and then Dave was gone .
Hilarious! Totally entertaining! After all these years, the old magic is still there! There's still such great energy between those guys.... even when they're just talking.
They were lucky to have each other during those years, when the drugs and alcohol are set aside they can sit and talk about how good it was without ego and BS they really did make some great music and of ofcouse miss eddy terribly, hopefully wolf puts something together with Al and Dave so we can all enjoy the memories.
@@Carriesaglock More than that, he'd never left VH, they weren't happy with him for various reasons. There would have been no reason for them to fall out with him for continuing to be pals with Sammy Hagar.
after all the years, the decades of biting comments about each other in magazines and on MTV, these guys can still sit down and have a good time like this. It's so good for their fans to see them like this.
I love these discussions they did in 2012. You can tell that Ed is a bit stiff in the beginning because he was likely forced to do this, but then gets lost in the reminiscing and being the first one to recall one of their wild stories. It’s like watching old college roommates talk about living together in their 50’s. And then Ed catches himself later and sort of straightens back up lol. Interesting how these guys interact with each other
Alex is so right about the McDonald stuff, it's all about location. I knew that for years. You can tell he's a knowledgeable person. Rest in power Eddie, and thank you guys for the music...
It'd be a great read . He could tell us what Scammy Hagar said to Edward to really piss him off . I've read Scammy's POS book RED . It doesn't make sense of his claims that Ed was jealous of Scammy's tequila business and Cabo Wabo success and wanted to get rid of him .

BUT he was a cool Guy & they & many people Liked Sammy.
@@MetalHeart8787 whatever happened he didn't put in his book . The way I put it together he said something to really piss off Ed . Scammy had an attitude when his tequila business and Cabo Wabo business took off . That's when he started bossing Ed around .
Add these guys to the list of the hardest working bands of the 70's-90s. Bands like Rush, KISS, Van Halen, other working bands...they always talk about doing 5-6 day cycles around their various regions. 3-5 hour sets, lying about their ages to play clubs, playing the same songs, skipping school or work, etc. Then, they carried that work ethic into the next level, going on the road for months on end, driving in cars, vans, writing on the road, being flat fuckin' broke, trying to eat, sleeping on friends' couches, 200 shows a year, playing wherever they could (schools, parties). Then they make it. Support acts for 2-3 headliners. Schleppin' their own gear, paying 1-3 guys to roadie, playing another 200 dates a year, recording 2 studio albums a year as well, promotion, home life, etc. Finally, they headline. Still, 130-150 shows a year, an album every couple years, bigger budget but bigger responsibility. Stage shows, writing iconic material, keeping it up every night, staying healthy enough to do it... Christ, just those 3 bands, Rush, KISS, VAN HALEN. That's a century's worth of band schooling and knowledge. And they all did it because they wanted and NEEDED to do it. You can say anything you want about the individuals in each of those bands but they all had that work ethic as musicians that was iconic. Peace and love to Van Halen. Thank you Edward, for being a passionate person.
They had no free time in the beginning . They owed Warner a new album every year . That's why the Roth era albums were a little over a half hour each . Warner really screwed them along with other bands like Badfinger and even INXS . The lead singer of INXS committed suicide because he was broke .
Fascinating..Great of them to share this of themselves,for all of us to enjoy..I absolutely dig hearing them reflect on how cutthroat & ruthless the Music Business was back in the day..
These interviews are incredible. Every time I watch them, I smile and think about how much they fight, there was genuine love with Edward and Dave. Dave and Alex are like teenagers in their banter, but Dave and Edward? Genuinely brotherly love. I hope everyone eventually gets their shit together though. They need to do that tribute show for Edward.
There is no brotherly love between ed and dave, he couldnt stand the guy and his bullshit and thats been addressed by people who were affiliated with the VH camp at one time or another
This is fucking golden. My Mom bought the record Jump. I watched the video every day, I listened to it every day on MTV, I was a little girl, and the chicks were crazy for David, but you couldn't tell me a damn thang about Eddie, that smile, long legs, long fingers and the sounds that came out of his guitar drove me fucking crazy. Rest Eddie, I am heartbroken, but I can come here and listen to your music, you are a legend, and a true genius. Bless you and thank you.
Eddie I'm still weeping I was lucky enough to have hung out with you when I I worked at klos in LA and you and al were on the Mark and Brian show we had a ton of smokes together I thank you for how very kind you were to me God bless you Ed and God bless your entire family.
The look on their faces at times. Ed and Al don't come from Dave's mold you can tell so when he's going into Dave mode but they all wind up eventually melding together and having good laughs here. Thats what made VanHalen so fucking great. Different ego's but the same fucking attitude and godamn did it ever show in their music. Van Fucking Halen
I remember watching the movie The Founder, thinking about what Alex says at the very beginning of this clip. And it turns into the major plot point of the film. I was like, "Right on, Al!" LOL.
They're all interrupting each other. It's just how they are. Alex and Ed are strong personalities, if it bugged them they would say something. They've never been shy about shutting each other up.
Love watching this. Eddie was just the coolest-really into the work and his playing. Dave is more settled, but needs to take his Ritalin. Alex reminds me of a cross between Jeff Goldblum and Damone from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. But in a good way.
All the work these guys did trust me fame isn't all bells and whistles Van Halen as well as all bands in past decades had no time at home tour, tour , albums beat your body like that eventually it takes its toll no wonder they needed drugs & alcohol! Lord Bless em .. With Eddie gone my life now has a huge void we have loss so many and when the rest leave we will be gone and I must say we had one hell of a ride! The best generation to have lived there will never be our generation again! The Best ! Blessings
When the substances weren't there, they actually managed to get over things enough to laugh like a few rockers just kicking back. I've never seen this. It's incredible to see them getting along.
I'm glad seeing these guys shooting the breeze and talking about old times and putting their differences aside, because in the end you got to get along
I still have my 1979 concert ticket in Ottawa Canada, Civic Centre, Dave was flying and jumping all over the place wearing what looked like long shag carpet covered boots that waved and flipped as he bounced around. Sound tech played Deep Purple Highway Star before the show.
It’s refreshing that Eddie was able to get Roth to be genuine once in a while.. Roth took a lot of heat but he never ran his mouth all time like or ran down other members in the band like Sammy. No one can say Dave is lazy. He had/has crazy work ethic. That always gets overlooked!!!! Everyone paints him in this corner or a crazy over the top drugged out rockstar, especially in his prime. True he lived the life somewhat but you couldn’t be a complete druggie or drunk and live the life he has, Even when he wasn’t working he was/is always doing something active. Look at all the hobbies and interest over the years.
This is so genuine and awesome to watch. The bond that these guys have from their start and path is so noticeable. At their height there was never and has never been since a more powerful, explosive, and energetic mix of extremely high level musicians. Dave was the perfect guy to lead this band from a front man / business sort of way. Total confidence. But listening to them reminisce is so much fun to to see.
These dude's put on the most unexpected amazing kick ass music i had ever seen they opened for Black Sabbath back in 1978 we went to see OZZY and shit our pants when they opened me and my buddy being from Cincinnati had never heard of them we thought we were going to be bored until Sabbath hit the stage boy were we in for a treat they opened with Running with the devil and to this day i remember it like yesterday they blew are friggin minds i did'nt even care if Black Sabbath ever played.........my god what a show !!
Wow Alex I didnt know that! Thanks for letting me know. Missing Eddie R.I.P. He is and always be my influential and # favorite guitarist. Much love Eddie R.I.P
Awesome video! I love hearing about the numbers. In Paul Stanley’s book he talks about how KISS didn’t make any money for quite a while, sounds like the same for Van Halen. And most other bands. But totally cool to hear about all of this. Plus, has anyone else noticed that doesn’t look like 2012? I met Eddie a year or two before this, and he had really short hair, and was pretty gray already. I have a picture of him and I right here. Anyway, maybe grown out, you don’t see the gray as much, like mine, ha ha. Just wondering if anybody else might have a more accurate date, possibly. Thanks! RIP Ed!!!🎸
Usually, an interviewer will use that technique as a way of getting the artist to explain things to an audience, thus getting a good interview. Dave knew everything but used this technique. He was smart here.
Alex looks like the assassin from Scarface who shoots Tony
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Nash Amos you hacked your girlfriend? OJ, is that you?
Yep. Now that you say
Uh huh
YESSSS I've always thought that lmao
Was Alex snorting coke before shooting. 😆
Love watching the guys talk about the old days. Just wish Mike was there to join in the discussion. There will never be another band like VH!
I'm so glad that even though these men had their personal differences, they can still make peace and bless us with this great interview.
I think this was pre-fighting days
@@B-ch6uk Pre fighting days? you need to do your research dude
@@shillian4770 In an interview, he said they made up just before Eddie’s death

They fought and made up a dozen times between 1974 and 2020.

After the events of this past week.
I'm even happier then I ever was, that they did these.
Me too. Even with all the drama between them, their bond can never be broken. For them to sit and share this is priceless.
I agree with you!
So am I... I feel as if I'm there with them.
Couldn't agree more
agree. I watch these a few times a year. I'm glad we have these but of course wish there were more and wish Mike had been there for these.

Mike should have been in on it too.
well...Michael Anthony is also very important for the real VH sound, so for me there is no Holy Trinity. It is the four of them.
Not very holy if you watch what they said at the beginning they did a deal to get there!

Dave-“my dad gave me a WHOLE Bunch of al Jolson records” Alex & Eddie -“ MAMMY” lmao 😂❤️🙏🏾😩
It’s refreshing that Eddie was able to get Roth to be genuine once in a while.. Roth took a lot of heat but he never ran his mouth all time like or ran down other members in the band like Sammy. No one can say Dave is lazy. He had/has crazy work ethic. That always gets overlooked!!!! Everyone paints him in this corner or a crazy over the top drugged out rockstar, especially in his prime. True he lived the life somewhat but you couldn’t be a complete druggie or drunk and live the life he has, Even when he wasn’t working he was/is always doing something active. Look at all the hobbies and interest over the years.
I like how Dave cracks up for a good 10 seconds after Al delivers the "...But he's still Ted!" punchline, One of many cool moments from this clip.
This is so genuine and awesome to watch. The bond that these guys have from their start and path is so noticeable. At their height there was never and has never been since a more powerful, explosive, and energetic mix of extremely high level musicians. Dave was the perfect guy to lead this band from a front man / business sort of way. Total confidence. But listening to them reminisce is so much fun to to see.
These dude's put on the most unexpected amazing kick ass music i had ever seen they opened for Black Sabbath back in 1978 we went to see OZZY and shit our pants when they opened me and my buddy being from Cincinnati had never heard of them we thought we were going to be bored until Sabbath hit the stage boy were we in for a treat they opened with Running with the devil and to this day i remember it like yesterday they blew are friggin minds i did'nt even care if Black Sabbath ever played.........my god what a show !!
This was interesting. It was nice to see them seeming to enjoy interacting.
"Is the property made out of burgers?"
Eddie is so enjoyable to listen to sober.
He was all the time
@@mws755 Yes, but I was referring to interviews not guitar playing.
Wow Alex I didnt know that! Thanks for letting me know. Missing Eddie R.I.P. He is and always be my influential and # favorite guitarist. Much love Eddie R.I.P
I've always wanted a brother like Alex.....what a great video!
They were at their greatest LIVE period.
van halen just being van halen talking about starbucks... why am i not surprised xD
I watched you guys grow from a bar band to Stadium Act and I'm just a boy from Kansas you rocked my world thank you I hope you find the magic again
Were you living in Pasadena if you knew them as a bar band?
Both the Van Halen's sitting up there sniffin' and snortin', lol.
Alex look cool with the shades
“After 20 minutes, I don’t mean ANYTHING anymore!”
Watching these guys sniffing left,right and center❄❄❄🤣
If you’ve read Noel Monk’s book, I think the word your looking for is “krell” haha
hahahaha now I can't un-notice
Alex is so noticeable sniffing so much
@@johnmccafferty7139 He's been clean for decades.
Awesome video! I love hearing about the numbers. In Paul Stanley’s book he talks about how KISS didn’t make any money for quite a while, sounds like the same for Van Halen. And most other bands. But totally cool to hear about all of this.
Plus, has anyone else noticed that doesn’t look like 2012? I met Eddie a year or two before this, and he had really short hair, and was pretty gray already. I have a picture of him and I right here. Anyway, maybe grown out, you don’t see the gray as much, like mine, ha ha. Just wondering if anybody else might have a more accurate date, possibly. Thanks! RIP Ed!!!🎸
7:45 it still blows my mind how the first record took just a week to do. It’s still gotta be one of the greatest works of rock music I’ve ever heard.
Im glad I got to see these guys right before their last tour ended
9:01 - 9:44 wise words Alex 👌🙌🙌
It's funny how Dave can't remember anything and has to ask the VH bro's what happened, answering the question - who did the most partying.
Usually, an interviewer will use that technique as a way of getting the artist to explain things to an audience, thus getting a good interview.
Dave knew everything but used this technique. He was smart here.
This should be 3 hours long
Apart from all we have heard, the lads are good together and a strong team.👍
Historic interview. So engrossing. Thanks for posting.
This is the way I want to remember them. Dave’s humility, and the love they shared for the music.
This is so heartwarming. And i feel like im eavesdropping. 💖💖
Loving this seei g the best hard rock band of all time getting along fucken cool love these guys
