Dave could do them better!!! [img]graemlins/brickwall.gif[/img]

Seriously... any solo material that might be Van Halenized would be cool... even Dave's solo material... [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

I have had the same thoughts myself. What would some of Sammy's songs sound like if Mike and the Brothers decided to lend there talents to the tracks. I would love to hear:

The Love (Not like when Sam played it solo on tour with VH, but with the band helping out!)

Tropic Of Capricorn and Serious Juju would sound pretty cool!

Make It Alright, The Big Nail, and The Big Square Inch would be Killer! But they are still damn fine as they stand now!

Sammy has matured so much since he was kicked out. He has gone from having some great tracks on each CD to making his strongest solo outing ever (Not 4 Sale)! That is one killer album! Just too bad it was so hard to find for some of you out there. Worth tracking down, it's wicked!

Long live the Sambo!

I think VH can make any song good/great, period!
my sam songs for VH would be:
Stand up
Tropic of Capricorn
Karma Wheel
Red Voodo
Returning of the wish

I've been listening to "Halfway to Memphis" alot lately. I love that song and would love to hear a VH version of it with Eddie adding a bluesy solo to it.

Halfway To Memphis is definitely the highlight(in my opinion) of Not 4 Sale. I think Marching To Mars could of been a Van Halen album, after that Sammy kinda got back into his pre-VH groove.

I am more of a Dave fan than Sammy but I will say that I downloaded Not 4 Sale of Kazaa and I really do like Stand Up, Make It Alright and Things have changed. I wouldn't mind hearing Ed and Mike singing back up on Make It Alright, that would sound killer!!
