Sammy Hagar >>> DLR... There! I said It!...discuss.

I honestly think Van Halen sounded better when Sammy was the lead singer. I love DLR, but Sammy is the man.

This places David Lee Roth pretty low in the ranks because literally EVERYTHING is better than Sammy Hagar.

Really like Sammy's voice, but I hated, absolutely hated, VH with him. Went from being the band's biggest fan to not buying one of their albums with Sammy. Maybe it was more the 'pop' rock direction they evolved into, but they became too sappy with him for my tastes.

Umm, you have pretty bad taste in music?

Major respect for Sammy's career with Montrose and sustaining Van Halen effectively while DLR pursued a successful solo career, but I gotta disagree. Diamond Dave's vocals in conjunction with Eddie's Frankenstrat distinguished that band from the hard rockers of the 70s and provided one of the best vocalist/guitarist duos of all-time. It gave that band an image that propelled them to superstardom in the cut-throat music industry. As good as Hagar was, he couldn't bolster that or take it up a notch. All he had to do was make sure the Van Halen convertible didn't crash and burn.

Nope, nope, nope, no, no, no, no, no.

Hey sometimes you're just in the mood for some 80s synth rock like Toto, Asia and The Outfield.

Nope! Except "Use Your Love" by The Outfield."

Saw Van Halen in 1982 on their Diver Down tour. If you saw them in their early 80's prime you would disagree. Van Halen's music started going downhill on 5150 although I really liked that album and I like Hagar. But Roth made the Van Halen legend come alive every bit as much as Eddie did.

Perfect summation of the way I feel. They lost their edge when Roth left and hearing the news that he was leaving that band is really the only time in my life when that kind of thing bothered me. VH and AC/DC are the two absolute best concerts I have ever witnessed in person hands down.

Saw VH maybe 3 times in the late 70's early 80's and I completely agree. Even Diamond Dave singing off time, forgetting lyrics, and sing-talking, couldn't ruin that experience. Was not a great live singer, but was the perfect front man for that band. Eddie was the star for me.
Were you at the 'famous' AC/DC concert at the Centroplex? If so, yeah that was a great show. Place was packed to the hilt. Crazy shite going on. If you saw them with Bon, Damn I'm jealous.

Wow! You definitely need to get out more. I saw VH as the opening act in NOLA SD before Doobies (rocked the house down) and then the Stones. They had just released their first album. They were good. Had something to prove, couldn't touch even the Doobies though.
Saw them again on the Tattoo You tour in Tampa. They were the second act. I would have paid money for them to leave the stage. Absolutely terrible. Mind numbingly bad.
DLR was with them both times.

Van Halen is fricking horrible, regardless of the front man.

Houston, now we have a real problem......Toto, 80's synth rock? For every one Toto song that features an 80's synth, I'll name 3 that are hard driving, straight ahead rockers.

Toto? What about the Outfield?
Nothing screams "synth rock" like a band with no keyboard player.

I think we all know that Eddie was the drunk driver in that crash.
They were always good or serviceable with other singers, but kicking out Michael Anthony really hurt the backbeat of VH.

I saw them at Hirsch in Shreveport in 1986 Who Made Who tour. And a couple of years later at the Texas Jam in the Cotton Bowl I think. Saw VH in September of 1982 at Hirsch and with Hagar in Dallas late Eighties.

You were too old to appreciate them. Sounds like you graduated in the Seventies maybe. If you were a few years younger and graduated in the early to mid Eighties, you were a Van Halen fan.

Your opinion on the subject is nil. You are a Millennial.
