David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar?
« on: May 07, 2004, 02:02:28 AM »
Got into this argument tonight at the bar.  Friend says that Roth "is Van Halen."  I think Sammy's the man.  He went as far as to say that "nobody likes Sammy."  As I've never really discussed it before, I don't really know who "everybody" likes.

So let's hear it.  Which one is better?

IMO, DLR is a tool who embodies everything crappy about 80's music.  

Sammy's just a cool guy, and an excellent front man, and has a hell of a voice.

I agree with the statement "Roth is Van Halen" to a degree (imho Eddie "is" VH).

But.... comparitively, I like Sammy better.

Oh man I'm gonna get blasted for this.

VH is everything crappy about 80's music so DLR is the natural choice.

I saw Van Halen with Sammy in 91 with Alice in Chains backing them up, it was a hell of a show. Sammy did a solo on acoustic that was good(where eagles fly). I never saw VH with DLR, so I couldn't compare the shows. But Eddie seemed to have peeked as a musician when he was with Sammy, I think OU812 is a great CD, so I would have to go with the red rocker.

Van Hagar........................ ..aint Van Halen.



Both do good at what they do, but DLR is an integral part of Van Halen.

Paid 14 bucks for VH's eruption tour. Grade 4.

When we walked into the stadium, the door guy had a chuckle yelling over to his friends at the other doors "I better check these kids for bubble gum". They had a good laugh. When we got to our seats and pulled out our joints we had a good laugh too. :)

VH was all noodling and the splits. Kind of a waste of a night.

Music wise I prefer DLR.  So many of Hagar's  songs in VH were all sappy love crap.

Why can't this be love
love walks in
When it's love

Humans Being  rocks and sammy is cool.  DLR seems like a real tool but I prefer the DLR version of the band.
