Most Record Sales

[ian_doherty]

Who has sold the most records?

Dave or Van Halen post the 1984 break up?

and where we can find stats like that?

[DLR7884]

You are fucking kidding me right?

VH obviously sold more records than Dave after the break up.

Go to riaa.com to find the info.

Or to Lame Halen's "official" website

[Seshmeister]

I think that it get's confusng because Van Halen post Dave have sold more Dave albums than he has if that makes sense...

Of course Hagar adds them as his sales...

Cheers!

Or I can post some rough (really rough) #'s off the top of my head.

DLR solo-
EEAS-2 million
SS-1 million
ALAE- close to 1 million
YFLM- roughly 200,000
The Best-125.000
DLRBand-150,000
Diamond Dave-12,000 or so.

Van Hagar-
5150-6 million
OU812-4 million
FUCK-4 million
Live RHRN-2 million
Balance-2 or 3 million
BOV1-2 million
VH3-500,000

My numbers are just estimates, but are damn good estimates.

DLR7884
I sense that this Ian fella is gonna have a point to these statistics.....

The 2 million copies of BOV 1 should be creditied to Van HALEN, not Van Hagar, because it was the 2 new Van HALEN songs recorded in 1996 that sold the album.

No astonishment at how both Roth's and Van Halen Du Jour's sales dwindled with each new release.

That classic Van Halen lineup will eclipse anything else those guys do for all time. Inevitable. Halen is bigger than any of them on their own. Musically, financially, any way you slice it. Always will be.

Why bother fighting it? Roth, the Van Halens and Anthony should just put it back together. What's the point of waiting? Fuck the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Just get out there and do it.

[DLR7884]

So was there a fucking point to me pulling these #'s out my head?

DLR7884
???

[Seshmeister]

Any time people post sales figures they always seem to be just for the US.

You have to factor in that Dave did better than Van Hagar in Europe.

Also the first 6 VH albums outsold the Hagar ones.

It's all immaterial in a way given how many albums Celine Dion sells anyways anyhow.

The frightening thing is there is probably a big crossover in the demographic that bought Dion and Van Hagar!

They are called NORMAL people. Joe Average and his wife Delores who only dance when they're embarrassing themselves at a wedding. Joe drives a white car because it takes more time to clean on Saturday mornings in suburbia after his weekly sex with Delores.

Delores is 200 lbs and works in Wal Mart. They have 2.4 children(the 0.4 is the retarded one) and think Sammy Hagar is the ultimate rock star.

Hitch fucked Delores last week when Joe was out at the bowling...


Cheers!

I'm still wondering why this thread was started and why I took the time to post these record sales?

DLR7884
Ian....why?

[DLR7884]

Just because a piece of shit is shiny and has colorful artwork doesn't mean it isn't still a piece of shit.

The masses (or lack of masses) have spoken.

DLR7884
Ouch is right.

[DLR7884]

IAN!!!!

What was the point of this God damn thread?

DLR7884
Don't fucking make me PM you!

The masses are asses?

[DLR7884]

Ok, Ian...I just saw that you posted and that you are online.

What was the point of this thread?

DLR7884
This was a fucking waste of space!

[ian_doherty]

i knew of no other way to find out.. thanks for the help!!

(i wasn't trying to make a point..)
other than if people don't prefer dave they are obviously complete morons..............

[DLR7884]

Oh good.

I didn't want to have to make an ass out of you.

DLR7884
You're safe Ian, you've made a wise decision on choosing what side of the fence to reside on.
