1985, eh? In a way for us...that was the day the music died. Edward wanted all the synthesizers and some high pitched vocals. Why he wanted that, who knows.

Actually Hagar was perhaps not too bad a choice.
It seems Eddie wanted to go with a more pop rock direction.
It just is not Van Halen...and should never be refered to as Van Halen.
I always loved VH (meaning Ed, Dave, drummer, bass player) and always disliked Hagar.
I agree they should have changed their name, but thats the price you pay when you name the band after one (or two) of the members. Dave must have realized that when he came up with the idea.

If you think about it....like REALLY THINK ABOUT IT? No matter what the fuck else they might have plugged into it, it just simply wouldn't have been Van Halen. Roy's last name beginning with an "H" is just happenstance. It would have been van Smythe, van Money...etc. Jim Mangum cuntparisons' aside, and I always love that shit, Roth is a true original. Something new, something borrowed.....I remember something Mr. Walker said regarding parallels' to other artists' schticks or mantras.
"Standing on the shoulders of giants."
Roth's custom blend of Vaudeville, R&B, and WAWAZAT-styled vocalizin' and socializin'?
An anomaly to this day.
Period.
Great Post! but i differ, i think they have always known it but refuse toOriginally posted by light 'em up!
It is impossible to replace David Lee Roth as the lead singer of Van Halen just as it would impossible to replace Steven Tyler as the lead singer of Aerosmith, or Rober Plant as the lead singer of Led Zeppelin.
LEGENDS ARE FOREVER BABY!!!
Ed and his mongoloid brother should have disbanded Van Halen, retired the name, and gone solo. If they had done that, nobody would have bitched about Sammy, Gary, or any other singer Ed and Al jammed with.
But Ed and Al tried to replace David Lee Roth (twice) and tried to bury his legacy... a huge fuckup! Now, they are scraping the bottom of the barrel and the only one who can save them is... David Lee Roth. Ed and Al are basically at Dave's mercy and they don't even realize it!!!
believe it ,tried to cover it up.
Oh yeah? Then how do you explain this?Originally posted by rustoffa

I can't fully explain Roy Clark.
Now I think that the change was necessary for both sides... Roth's ego was just too big for the whole band... He wanted to "entertain" the world just by his self and other hand the type of music where VH was heading didn't maybe fit to Roth's style...
I respect equally both sides after they have parted their ways... but both of them lost something they had toghether as a whole band... a piece was definitely missing on both sides... It wasnt just the same...
Hagar also knew from the beginning that he could never replace him... So he could only pretend he is something other.
I also found out that it dont depends that who would replace DLR... and Hagar wasnt really a bad choice...
One thing is for me clear that there wasnt a real REUNION - with a tour or and a album... you know what I mean...
I wondr if it isnt too late now... But well lets just hope its not...
PERIOD.
Shit, I could have done a better job than sammy, but i would have turned it down..... DAVE OR THE GRAVE!
Long Live Classic VH
Dio, but that wouldnt've been EVH at all, but he is still a great singer
Are ya kidding me? Roy Clark is one of the most entertaining fuckers on the planet! I think that's where Dave got the idea to do the leg split off the speakers! Ed watched in awe as Roy would pluck that geetar!Originally posted by rustoffa

Tony Orlando and Dawn.
Picture if you will......
Tony and Dawn fail misserably, ask Dave ta do a quick 5 date diddy with them ta help save a little face, and Dave agrees cause he wants ta knock off some of that hot ass.
Tony then realizes that he never could replace an icon like Dave and reluctantlly becomes a porn actor.
His first film is entitled "Dawn Does Tony's Balogna"
Ed calls Dave and all is good with the rock world.
hagar, that mediocre talented fucker, ruining rock music since... well as long as i can remember, they should have changed the name, they ruined their legacy...
wasn't steve perry available about then
hagar was so mediocre he made van halen mediocre, that's a lot of mediocrity
motherfucker
that should have been the bands new name
mediocre motherfuckers featuring sammy hagar
they could have plugged eddie money in there, at least it would have been funny...
or that dude from pink floyd that went to the insane asylum
or paula abdul
