Re: December the 12th 2017
we haven't really had snow yet this year. (we have, but it comes and goes within a couple hours, including melting away) but it still been cold, for my standard.

I just head over to the beach during the summer. Mission beach right here in San Diego or Venice Beach.DancesWithWerewolves wrote:Jeally here. Going to be in the freak'n 80's all week. That's unusually high, even for here, at this time of year.zombie wrote:brrr

This is my favorite Van Halen tune with Sammy.

That one is cool too. It's heavy but gets catchy during the chorus.Jason wrote:Humans Being...

I do prefer David Lee Roth however over Sammy. I think Roth has much better stage presence.

Same here. But, it took me years to like the Sammy stuff. I see it as Van Halen MkII. Like when Deep Purple had the MK2 version.horrorfan wrote:I do prefer David Lee Roth however over Sammy. I think Roth has much better stage presence.

Re: December the 12th 2017
Better stage presence yes, but Sammy has far better pipes. Dude can sing. May not write great songs all the time (to be fair, Dave's lyrics can be cartoonishly weak too), but Sammy could sing both eras without sounding out of place.horrorfan wrote:I do prefer David Lee Roth however over Sammy.

Well, until he tries to improvise dialogue over breakdown passages and just sounds awkward

I tend to think they fill each others gaps.

Re: December the 12th 2017
I had to be older to appreciate the Sammy stuff as well. It is more mature (mostly). I always dug Right Now and Humans Being when I was younger, so his material wasn't completely out of touch with me.Jmac Attack wrote:Same here. But, it took me years to like the Sammy stuff.

Re: December the 12th 2017
I like Dave better overall. I like more of his songs in Van Halen than Sammy. I dig Sammy though, good vocals. I would love to see Dave try and do his signature moves on stage now, probably would cause his knees to go out.DancesWithWerewolves wrote:Better stage presence yes, but Sammy has far better pipes.

I was in high school when For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge came out. I bought the cd and it became a favorite album of mine. I still love it at 44 and actually own the cd, though not the same one.DancesWithWerewolves wrote:I had to be older to appreciate the Sammy stuff as well. It is more mature (mostly).
