Anyone who knocks themselves in the head with a stick while attempting a martial arts move onstage during a performance is laughable. Nonetheless, Roth had the best songs, Hagar had the best attitude, and VH could continue with whatever frontman they used so long as there was chemistry with the group. Did anybody else notice how quickly Roth disappeared when he split? I think that's a fair indicator of where the musical talent was in that group.

And Sammy's solo career was pretty much over when they raised the speed limit to 70.

Actually, when DLR went solo, he had several hits (or close anyway, i.e. Yankee Rose), and his 1st solo album did quite well. In his day, DLR was the man. MUCH better front man than Hagar. Their old stuff, Van Halen 1, Diver Down, those albums were awesome. Much better stuff than OU812 Van Hagar. I HATED the song Right Now. (shudder)

I look at DLR NOW and he's an effete balding poof. He's so durn annoying that if I were locked in a room with him for any extended pierod of time, I would have to severly beat him.

In his day, DLR was the better of the 2 front men. He fediddlein' parachuted into a stadium for their first tour and landed on stage.

They ceased being a good band when that hack Hackar took over.

There can be only one...

1. Place "Women And Children First" in your CD player.

2. Turn the volume all the way up.

3. Enjoy!

PS - Kids, don't try this with any Van Hagar CD as your player will only spit it out onto the floor.

I admit DLR is the biggest bellybutton in the world but if bands were popular based on personality Oasis would still be a garage band.

Diamond Dave!! used to have a poster with the original Van Halen band They were all sitting on a tank with dave straddling the main gun We cut out the other members cause the caption at the bottom read : The Image of Van Halen

Diver Down is DLR's best album..

5150 is sammys best.... Imo

DLR is the Van halen i grew up on.. "Jump" "hot for teacher" etc... they jammed..

David Lee Roth is da man.. apparently so much so he cant get along with the catalyst of VanHalen which is Eddie.

Shame...
