Van Halen – Why Can’t This Be Love – Sammy Hagar – ISOLATED VOCALS – Analysis and Singing Lesson

“Why Can’t This Be Love” was the first Van Halen single with Sammy Hagar as lead singer, and lyrically it showed more of a commercial approach than what David Lee Roth was known for.

How well did you think Sammy did at taking over in David Lee Roth’s footsteps? I’d love to hear where you stand in the Sammy vs. David debate so share with me in the comments!

Sammy kicks off this isolated vocal track with a high C right out of the gate and we’ll look at how the instrumentation in the chorus balances the song to keep with the same vibe.

I’ll explain Sammy’s compressed sound in more detail and we’ll explore how we can get that distortion using a safer, bigger, rounder sound.
