Sammy and Mike digging up vintage Van Hagar videos to release!

Sammy starting a channel to release lots of VH vintage gems!

Says they found a lot of cool stuff to share!

Eh, good for them.

Not really too excited for it, would rather they dig into the vaults of unreleased material, but at least it's something.

Not sure why they still feel the need to call themselves the other half, which was originally an obvious intentional dig at the brothers, but whatever. Hopefully some cool stuff.

I don't think it's a dig.

At one point Ed was saying that Van Halen was him and Al and whomever they decided to play with. I read the name as a "hey, we were there too."

Ehh, still seems petty at this point to me.

It'll be nice if they deliver some stuff we haven't seen before...

The most wanted Van Hagar stuff would be unreleased tracks like Between Us Two & the songs Andy Johns deleted off FUCK like Wish. I don't think we're ever going to get that stuff though, as it's likely all at 5150 and Al & Wolf would deem it insulting to Ed to release stuff he didn't sign off on.

Hopefully they'll surprise us!

Still hope the four cds of unreleased tracks from Warner bros that Brian Kehew worked on gets released this October...

Looked like some Pro Shot 93 tour footage at the end of Sammy and Mike's video I hadn't seen before. Maybe they have the full show?

James, I think I'm unfamiliar with what you are referencing. Can you elaborate?

Nice little snippet from 93. Don't often see much from that tour, except for some of the European shows, but that looked like a US show, based on Al having his full size double bass kit. Seems like most or all of the European shows on that tour he had a single bass/double pedal setup.

Brian Kehew is one of the first interviews that Sunset Sound Studio, where the first five albums were recorded, released after Ed died. He talked about working on unreleased VH tracks for WB back in the early 2000s I think. Maybe 2004-2006 period? He said there was 4 cds worth of releasable cleaned up material. One specific thing I remember him talking about was a version of HFT where Ed played the bass and he doubled the tapping guitar intro with tapping on the bass, but VH decided not to release it in 84 because Ed obviously wouldn't have been able to play the guitar and bass simultaneously live.
