These guys are the best. Magnanimous souls with class. \mm/
“Right Now” has been running through my head all day. Always loved the studio version, if you’re a Van Hagar fan, you get it. But there’s something more about hearing that song live, if you ever have, either with VH, Waboritas, Chickenfoot, or The Circle, you really get it.
taskerofpuppets nailed it. very thoughtful of sammy and mike to share this as they are just completely devastated. i’m very happy for sammy that he and eddie at least reconnected before it was too late. kudos to you, eddie trunk on your special all-van halen radio show tonight. thank you. #evhrip
