First one was the best.
Bought back some old memories this remix did.
Hope all is well within Vankaren land.

PHILLISTER…I’ll have some of whatever you’re having, because it must be incredible baby!

I have to comment on your following quote: “Sam`s approach eventualy wasn`t enough to KEEP UP with the musical groundbreaking level ED&AL were making.”

Let’s see…every album with Sammy was AWESOME and went to NUMBER 1. With III Ed and Al sailed the good ship VH to the bottom. (Marching to Mars outsold VHIII, even with Warners shipping a tonne to try to give it a boost.)

Since Sammy left, Ed and Al have produced one album (VH III) plus 3 new songs (with Sammy). Sammy said those 3 songs took as long as a new album should have taken.

In the same time period Sammy has toured frequently and to great reviews and ticket sales, for those that are interested in ticket sales as a measure. He’s also release a handful of DVDs, a bunch of great CDs, and has continued to stay relevant and in the news for his various musical exploits.

We all have our “favorites”, but for all these reasons, I think it is 100% inaccurate to suggest SAMMY couldn’t “keep up” with Ed and Al. Ed and Al are certainly never going to be the poster boys for rock and roll productivity based on their last 10 years!

Peace brother!

Interesting choices in this mix. These guys sure give you a lot of great stuff to work with. Very interested to hear what kind of stuff VH IV will come up with. I guess they should be getting back to work on a new album soon now that Wolf has graduated and Ed should be back from his honeymoon?

Thanks to all.

It’s cool to see VH fans talking ‘random” Van Halen over my mixes… Talking about Van Halen is what I did all my life.

More Van Halen goodies coming in “Van Halen Mix 03″ and in ALL of my Classic Rock mixes.

I`ve just heard this mix for the666`th time and finally realized that as GREAT as the 1st 3 “VHGAR” albums are,Sam`s approach eventualy wasn`t enough to KEEP UP with the musical groundbreaking level ED&AL were making.&(personally) to hear those riff`s without vocals(sam&gary era),You can “almost hear” how cool it “would`ve” sounded with DAVE`S Delivery.
THANX ROLAND,for a-HOLE new perspective!lol:)
