Hagar posted a video of the band \u2014 him, Eddie<\/strong> and Alex Van Halen<\/strong>\u00a0and Michael Anthony<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 performing the <\/span>5150<\/span><\/em> track \u201c<\/span>Why Can\u2019t This Be Love<\/strong><\/span><\/a>,\u201d which was recorded in August 1995 in Toronto for Canada\u2019s Much Music.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s so touching when I see old clips of Eddie singing his heart out!\u201d Sammy shared in the caption. \u201cHe wasn’t a natural lead singer, but when he sang, he had [sic] with soul and passion. This is a prime example.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cAnd Mikey, rockin’ that mullet hard! I Love finding this old stuff for ya.”<\/span><\/p>\n

In it, Alex seemed to discount Sammy\u2019s contribution to the band,\u00a0saying \u201cthe heart and the soul and the creativity and the magic\u201d of\u00a0Van Halen was the original four members, him, Eddie, Anthony and\u00a0David Lee Roth<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The mag also noted the only mention of the Van Hagar years in Alex\u2019s upcoming memoir,\u00a0<\/span>Brothers, <\/span><\/em>due<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/em>out Tuesday<\/span>,<\/span><\/em>\u00a0is Alex writing, \u201cWe had a lot of other singers over the years.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
