Van Halen's "Right Now" video..... ~ SpaceCase

Thursday was my husband's 41st birthday. I got him a BIG Hershey's Special Dark Bar, a new Casio wrist watch, Paul McCartney's "Hits and History" CD, and a DVD of 10 or so Van Halen videos.

I was watching this collection of videos and for the first time since my sophomore year in high school, 91-92, I saw the video for VH's "Right Now"...I remember even back then finding this video so intriguing and revealing. However, watching it this time was more like a revalation...

I don't know if y'all remember this one, but through the whole video it has words flashing things like Right Now Ed's on piano, right now pigs are becoming lunch...Right now we're in between ice ages, but this one really got me, LOL

Right now we are being controlled by oil companies and old men....

Did Sammy and Eddie have a crystal ball or somethin'? ;)

And the ice ages one was kinda spooky since I had just watched the Day After Tomorrow...I hope it doesn't happen like thar, scary!!

I shuddered!!

Also on the subject of Van Halen, since this is probably the only post I'll ever write with them as the subject, as my husband's the fan, not me, LOL...I noticed something.

Sammy Hagar seemed to change the face of the band. The first threew videos were David Lee Roth...what a perv, LOL...I say this confidently because his videos were chalk-full of women in bikinis and scant clothing.

Then there was Sammy...

While the first two videos of Sammy's did show glimpses of short skirts and cleavage, they took a remarkable turn mid-way and seemed to carry much deeper messages thaan any of Roth's fanfair. and the videos told stories.

Like I said, I they're by no means favorites, but I think I can safely say that VH was better once Roth left the building!

Yeah, it all went to his (now bald)LOL head and he compeletly failed as a solo artist. But as the lead singer in Van Halen he was superb. It's a shame they fell out. The entire band was very talented. LOL Now I've got Women and Children First banging in my head! And it's all your fault! LOL ;D  
Date: 10/30/2004 10:17:00 AM  From Authorid: 18928    roth may be a sexist pig but he is a much better singer, and a better fit for VH. I have all the OLD VH CD's, only one with Sammy. That is just MY opinion, so I don't want to debate LOL  
Date: 10/30/2004 10:29:00 AM  From Authorid: 52155    They are gonna be here in concert in the next month or so. I'm thinking about going. I was a big fan back in the day, and I too, prefered David Lee Roths singing, even if he did come off as a pompus jerk.   
Date: 10/30/2004 11:05:00 AM  From Authorid: 34912    Yeah, Sammy's the man. I could nevert stand DLR with his girlie sqeals and lame dislogues interupting the song. On another note, I have to say that I wouldn't turn to Hollywood and Van Halen for enlightment. You can't believe everything you see or hear. To say the world is controlled by oil companies and old men is a very oversimplified view of the world and shows no intellecutal command of what it's meaning should be (sorry to sound so pompous). Second, the movie "Day After Tommorow" was pure science fiction and nothing more. If you believe that then you might as well start watching out for Dinosaurs in your home town (Jurrassic Park). I hope you were kidding and that you really don't contruct your world view from what you see in pop-culture God Bless

Date: 10/30/2004 2:38:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    I guess my favorite "Van Hagar" album is "OU812." Sounds like Mike did pretty good. I love those dark hersheys..*wink* Write on, SpaceCase.

Date: 10/30/2004 3:59:00 PM  From Authorid: 10245    Once Sammy came in, it just wasn't Van Halen anymore... it was Van Hagar. I like Sammy, but no one can screech like David Lee. They had completely different styles and should have changed the name, IMO.  
Date: 10/30/2004 4:07:00 PM  From Authorid: 35720    Sometimes when I listen to The Beatles I get a similar effect.   
Date: 10/30/2004 4:22:00 PM  From Authorid: 55967    FIRST, the B*E*S*T thing about Van Halen is...........Valerie Bertinelli. I had a crush on her when she was on One Day At A Time and I was pissed when she married that guitar punk. lol. But about Roth, the man is a very talented showman but in real life, he's a real a__s h__e, s__t h___d, and a real idiot. Actually though, you have to realize that the group members don't have the largest pull in what goes into the videos, and in an interview, Roth did say that all those girls are simply show, and that they are all fake. They're real people, but with the makeup and body language, etc., they are basically fake dolls. As for Hagar, I don't like him at all. To me, he comes across as a less-talented singer trying to make himself bigger than he ever was so he can fit into Roth's shoes. It doesn't work for me. I don't like a single song by "Van Hagar," but there are a lot I like from the original Van Halen. On a side note, when the group played at Hershey, they parked their tour bus in the lot of a convenience store right down the hill from where I live. That was cool, but I didn't see any members.  
Date: 10/30/2004 5:25:00 PM  From Authorid: 62841    i dont really care, i like them both in van halen....i want to see them in concert-PsYcHoTiCbEaSt  
Date: 10/31/2004 1:32:00 AM  From Authorid: 28193    I always liked David Lee Roth..he was entertaining in a freak show kind of a way. LOL.
