Its not really an honor to Eddie Van Halen when Sammy plays some of his solo stuff and Joe as well. If this was to honor Eddie and Van Halen then only VH songs would be played.
@@bobabooey4537 Then you would whinge they are making money off Van Halen songs. It doesn't matter what Sammy does. People IE you, will always complain... How can they win? Thanks for being one of those who have to always ruin something instead of just enjoying it. I don't know what is so bad in your life that you constantly do things like this, and I don't care. Nobody does. Learn to enjoy life instead of trying to ruin everything for everyone just because you had a bad day... ok?
@@bobabooey4537 , Sammy helped write almost every song they played. Stop trying to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory. Ed's dead. Alex is out. Wolf is Wolf. Sammy and Co make just as much money if they just played their Circle set. There are guitar players in VH tribute bands that would make you think EVH was reincarnated. But what's the point when you get to see arguably, one of the best guitar players in history - not just a copy-cat player - help celebrate the life, and the band he created, of the greatest there ever was?
Long live Sammy ... "The Red Rocker" and the band, whether it be playing EVH songs or Sammy's and the band's many hits ... It is ALL fantastic! We better enjoy it and appreciate it while we HAVE IT! I LOVE THIS BAND!
62 and been a Sammy fan since Montrose, Zep was my favorite band growing up, loved Surfing with the Alien, and Eddie was and always will be my favorite guitarist. Grateful to be alive and hearing this 🙏🤘😎
@@muurimc Van Hagar never had a number album or single in Europe. No chance Sammy will bring the tour that far. Only going to countries where Sammy had a number 1....Which means exactly 1 country on the tour schedule...
Haters will be haters! But what i saw is Sammy and Mikey killin it, and Joe doing his best to pkay like Eddie. Which no one can do! Great job Joe, Eddie would have been honored.
Sammy mit seiner Band hat Spaß bei dem was Sie tun. Und alle die dort waren hatten Ihren Spass. Why not? Ich wünschte ich wäre dort gewesen. 😢 From Germany good luck.
What a great way to celebrate the songs of Van Halen and Hagars career, superb performances of so many great songs. A shame it’s doubtful we’re going to see this touring in the UK.
Love when music elitists have to make condescending comments like this. It's not about replicating technical ability, it's about replicating someone's particular style. Everyone plays a little differently, nothing is "easy" about that. We all know Joe can go above and beyond what Eddie did on a technical level.
@@neighborbruce I was adressing all the trolls condecending Satch when this was announced. Like Joe was some beginner and not one of the best guitar players in the world.
Really? Like seriously would an underrated drummer be playing with Sammy, Joe and Mikey? Can you answer me a question honestly? Why dd you say the most used line on social media? Did you think it will make it look like you know something noone else does? Makes you look like you're ahead of the curve?. You know like some cool dude who knows something noone else does? lol If he was underrated, he would not be part of this tour and would not even be known to you. An underrated person is not a person the entire music industry knows the name of. You look foolish making this comment. I'm guessing you're not out of school yet? Please take the time to explain your need and desire to make this statement. I would like to research it. The more in depth your answer the better. I'm doing research on why people say the most commonly used things on social media even though it has been said trillions of times before. Your answers might help me understand why nobody has originality anymore. When I publish my paper I will even share credit with you if you are willing to give your real name...
So early in the tour and still clearly killing it. Saw Satch and Chickenfoot at the Chicago Theatre and he melted the place. Chicagoland awaits August 3rd baby !
They were beyond expectations and I think they did a great job honoring Eddie. Satriani played everything note for note, didn't put anything extra on it
Me too! August 23rd in Houston. I saw VH with DLR in 1985. Saw the very first Van Hagar show in Shreveport. Saw Van Hagar two other times. Saw Joe in a smaller venue in Houston . I've been a guitar instrumental afficionado since the 80s so this is like a full circle moment for me. And y'all MUST check out Mammoth WVH to see the Eddie legacy living in the uber-talented Wolfie. He blew me away opening for Alter Bridge in Houston in 2023. "Take A Bow" in particular is an AWESOME song and Wolfie shows he learned some guitar tricks from his Daddy. 🤘🎸
So its all good for poser wannabe tribute bands to play van Halen songs but people judge the real players real recording artists? Shut up if you don't like it go see a tribute band in some local bar 😂 2 members that are out touring to pay a real tribute to VAN HALEN
It's okay, keys shoulda had organ during the chorus and the piano seemed out of timing in the beginning. But, I get it, not VH for real but still sounds nice and I love Satriani, he's the best ever.
This is Exactly Why Led Zeppelin Didn’t Continue Without Bonzo…..! Because Everyone Becomes a Cartoon Look 👀 This is a Bit of Therapy For The Principal Players ….and Sammy Again is a Better Singer Than David Lee Roth Sammy is Where All Rock Singers Are Measured By….. You Go Sammy This is More Important Too You Than It Is Too Us…..
Sammy Just Got His Check For The New Remastered Box 📦 Set….of Van Halen No Need To Be Hungry He Got His…. On Rhino 🦏 Records and Too The Sammy Fans ….Yes Sammy Sings Better Than Roth…. and Sammy is Where All Rock Singers Are Measured By….. …..Am Sure That’s Why Kurt Cobain Blew His Head Off Because Sammy is a Better Singer….! and Dave is Loosing No Sleep 💤 Over This….
Not the same without Edward! Love the vocals of Michael Anthony, but just is not Van Halen. I will watch "Live Without a Net” over and over before I ever want to see Joe Satriani try and paly like Ed! Just sounds wrong. RIP Edward!
In all fairness, Eddie didn’t play his own stuff the same way all the time. Joe didn’t have to do this. He got it together much faster than I would have. Give him some props. RIP EVH. I’m still chasing you!
@@johnshultz7469 Lame start (as in it was a lame start...Sammys video with a tribute to himself which then stopped before everyone silently walked on stage), to a Sammy specific show (i.e. it was a tribute to his own VH era with very little Dave era (2 songs and a cover song?), and no Gary era)... Certainly not best of all worlds...
