Not commercially, but the tension between David and the Van Halens, especially Eddie, was at a breaking point. Plus, 1984 was essentially the prologue for the Van Hagar era and had less in common with the classic DLR era, IMHO.


All true. I'm just saying that VH probably didn't have to make any "Hail Mary" decisions in regards to their career path 'tho...coming off the heels of their most successful album, they controlled their destiny, as dysfunctional as it was, lol....

I don't know - I think they stuck in their thumbs and pulled out a plum. You know that Patty Smyth ("I am the warrior!") was Eddie's first choice, right?

Thankfully, she realized that wasn't a very good idea. Their decisionmaking was questionable again with Gary ("More than words") Cherone, wouldn't you agree? They were fricking lucky to get Sammy when they did (and only because Sammy and Eddie used the same German mechanic for their exotic cars).
