[Unchainme]

Okay enough with hearing the Stupid Sheep Shit, regarding How great 5150 and hagar was as a Vocalists...I think we shall take a little gander at whom they've influenced..OH..Thats right NO ONE...

Just post below Who you think was majorly influenced By CVH and DLR.

Now on To The Cool Bands that The Greatest Band on the Planet from 1978-1984 Influenced..And I'm going to start with a Recent LEGEND..Dimebag Diamond (Gee, I Wonder who that's Refrencing too..) Darrell Abbott....Lets take a look at their Picture from Back in their Club Days...



Gee That looks Fucking Familiar..



RIP Dimebag, You had awesome Taste and were a kickass musician...





Coming soon...Who Influenced CVH and Dave..

I'd say just about every big hair band of the day with maybe the exception of Motley Crue but I cannot even say that since they were influenced by CVH.

As for the CVH and DLR. God fricking knows. DLR is really into some reinvented old music.

[Loons The Great]

Anyone that is in a band and under the age of 50 is in a tribute band to Van Rothin'.

[SNIPER]

The two biggest bands that come to mind would be Bullet Boys and White Lion ofcourse.

Basically any band in the 80's with a blond lead singer and a guitarist with any abilities at all wanted to be Van HALEN.

And they all failed. Including THIS sorry assed band......

That was PANTERA.

But this is Pant-HAIR-a!!


(pay close attention to Dime in this video, and the Eddie influence is obvious. Even if the band itself sounds more like Def Leppard in their better days.)

LMAO!!!!!!

Van Hagar's lyrics almost ruined rock n roll.

[eddie007]

the Bulletboys were great but, definitely one too many lessons taken from the CVH boys.

but, what about an LA Band called Roxy Blue ?????

these guys tried to blatantly rip-off CVH.

However, they sucked real fucking bad !!!

yeesh

Lot of those (primarily) LA bands Van Halen influenced just ended up being somewhat slavish yet substandard copies of CVH.

At least you can look at a band like Pantera, where Dime was clearly influenced by both EVH and Ace Frehley, yet he took that influence as a starting point towards creating his own style.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Was Van Hagar auditioning for Saved by the Bell or something? Jesus Christ.

[Loons The Great]

When I wake up in the morning
And the alarm gives out a warning
And I don't think I ever make it on time
By the time I grab my books
And I give myself a look
I'm at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by
It's alright 'coz I'm saved by the bell
If the teacher pops a test
I know I'm in a mess
And my dog ate all my homework last night
Right alone in my chair
She won't know that I'm there
If I can hand it in tomorrow it will be alright
It's alright 'coz I'm saved by the bell

It's alright 'coz I'm saved by the
It's alright 'coz I'm saved by the

How 'bout Black Oak Arkansas for some CVH influenece? Jim Dandy? They had an old tune "Not Fade Away" that was a classic in it's day. I really think the influence came out in the WACF album....Fools, TYWH....etc....etc. Dave took that approach to a whole new level, in my opinion. Going pretty far back--may have been a cover for all I know....Good stuff though.

Spammy is so fucking Gay.....Please----no more posting Van Hagar Pics. Enough already!

[cMb]

The influence isn't really noticable, but I saw a picture of the room of Green Day's Billy Joe when he was a teenager & he had this poster on his wall.



On a side note, Monkey Boy's drum set-up looks pretty fuckin badass in this shot!
