April 29, 201312 yr Author comment_5543327 Every time I see Van Hammer, I can't help but think of Cactus's book. I CAME HERE TO SAVE THE COMPANY. In all seriousness, he had a great look and decent charisma, and would have been a star if he could work even a lick.
May 30, 201312 yr comment_5545869 Hammer headbangs while playing his guitar in some suspiciously wide shots. The video and the concept really aren't bad for what they are--he does look like a buff, badass Sammy Hagar, after all, so what else are you going to do with him?
June 5, 201312 yr comment_5546653 Van Hammer appears to be putting no effort into trying to play the guitar. Him jumping off the top rope in mid riff was nice.
April 11, 201411 yr comment_5598782 This video looks really out of place late in 1991 when the menu music featured all Nirvana songs. I dont think Hammer had a chance to succeed.
October 1, 20159 yr comment_5701618 This video definitely gets the "Heavy Metal" part of Van's gimmick over, but not much else. I'll have to see him in a promo or in the ring before I can really comment. So he thought he had come to WCW to save the company, huh? Since he was so forgettable that I got him mixed up with jobber Zan Panzer when I first saw his name on the disc menu, I'd guess that any success that the company had while he was there was in spite of him, not because of him.
January 20, 20187 yr comment_5828721 I love how wrestling's music taste is usually a few years behind. But you know what, I could see this being a Whitesnake or Poison or Van Halen or some other hair band video. So I guess mission accomplished...right?
