Vic the Busboy had 25 years to learn how to play Eddie's guitar parts and never got there. So it's probably a safe assumption he never would have. So if Sam's really looking to be a Van Hagar tribute band "full time" he's going to need somebody who can actually play the songs.
If Sammy wants to sing the cheese ballads that he co-wrote, he's got every right to do so. I'm not going to the show either way, but as long as other people are going to pay to hear that alleged "music", they might as well play it as correctly as possible. On the other hand, if this "deep dive" implication is that Sobolewski (or God forbid, Hagar himself) are going to be singing more Van HALEN songs from the 6 pack, that's something else entirely. And would they dare try to sing something from the ADKOT album, which neither of them had any involvement in (though Mikey was probably there when all of those songs were originally written... even the "new" songs on that record, which were most likely written during the aborted VH reunion of 2000-2001)
