I prefer anything Sammy does over anything the “new” Van Halen does with Dave. To me, it’s just a cover band without Micheal Anthony in the band. Wolfie has the chops & can hit the notes, but he has no enthusiasm. At least Sammy is out there releasing new music. The guy is true to his fans.

Is this new song THAT similar to RIGHT NOW? The video certainly is, but the song is not remotely similar.

I think it’s some good stuff personally. I went into listening it thinking I was going to hear RIGHT NOW, but with some changes. Heck, if you don’t even watch the video, RIGHT NOW doesn’t even come to mind.

And what is it with these Digs that Sammy and Mike are “still” riding the shirt tails of Van Halen? Um, from Sam’s last album, what was even remotely similar to the VH years?

And is there a running list of Songs Sam’s done from Marching to Mars forward that is supposedly “just like Van Halen”? Sammy’s songs sound like….Sammy’s songs.

I dunno folks. The Front man of a Band to me has the most distinctive sound of what a Band sounds like. When Sammy joined VH, I always had a “That sounds like a Sammy Tune” moreso that “That sounds like a Van Halen Tune”.

Whihc I did not think was a BAD thing. For Sammy coming into VH and trying to sound like Roth or imitate Roth, would NEVER have worked. He and They (VH) needed to create their OWN sound. And I think they did it VERY successfully.

But Hagar sung Songs are GOING to sound Like “Hagar tunes” regardless if he’s in Montrose, solo, HSAS or with Van Halen.

Again, that is not a bad thing.

Looking forward to Sammy’s new Album.

Deja- I’m in your court til you say something like “the best music VH put out in a decade was the 3 tracks with sammy on best of both worlds.” No it wasn’t. It was the ONLY music put out by VH. I’m a Sammy freak til the end, but Up for Breakfast was bad, man. It sucked. It’s About Time was good, and Learning to See was really good. Roth Halen (nice) is supposed to be putting something out. Sammy is putting out stuff this year into next, so it may just be the Best of Both Worlds.

Yeah, keep waiting for a DLR with VH album. You fools dont know a good thing. Al, Mikey does have a solo project called the Mad Anthony Express. Check out Mad Anthony Cafe for info. All you Sammy haters can read my 2 comments under the cabo wabo blog a few articles down. Im so tired of the nay sayers I cant type it again here. In case you forgot, The DLR VH hasnt put out any new music since the 2 mediocre songs on VH GH vol. 1. and the best music VH put out in a decade was the 3 tracks with sammy on best of both worlds. If any of you saw mikey and sammy jammin on stage doing Amsterdam or Good Enough you would think twice. But keep waitin, maybe Roth Halen will put out an album in 2020 or so.

Silence is better than this. Quality versus quantity. Sammy just churns out the garbage. And could you find a way to mix his voice that brought out any more of its irriating qualities than this song? It really does sound like a donkyey braying.

Half way through, I was thinking “its so great he’s not in Van Halen anymore.”

This song reminds me of SLANG of Def Leppard, to Rap for my taste.
It’s amazing how Sam can’t get of the VH world, doing a new version of Right Now sucks big time.

Dont Like the song or the video

I love Sammy to death, but this song really sucks balls.
