Well OK yeah, I bought 5150 on record but, I've bought toilet paper before, I still own toilet paper.....and yes, Spammy's still the singer.

But no, I do NOT have any Van Hagar on CD, except for the BOV2.

I saw van hager in New Heaven Ct. Live w/out a Net. It was cool, in the bathroom people were arguing about shithead or Roth, and it was like that in the arena. When shithead kept sayin shit about Roth or picked up a banner that said Roth sucked, that was it for me. I never saw them again and I never bought anything van hager. they did 2 shows in New Heaven, it was the second show they used. eddies guitar was fucked up on the first night, thats when I went

Just jackin with ya!!!

This whole thread sounds like recovery testimonial for AA... although to be perfectly frank... I suspect 80% of y'all grew up during Van Hagar and were too young for Roth... now you're in here making amends for your past discretions.

Just be real men or women if you must, but admit you liked Van Hagar at the time and grew up to appreciate Dave, but find it cool to talk tough on a Dave site...

Can't speak for everyone else, but I was fortunate enough to see the real deal live as far as Van Halen goes back in 1984.

Bought 5150. Vocals and lyrics aside, didn't care for the change in Ed's tone, the electronic drums, the production sound, the redundancy of the guitar solos and the material on an instrumental basis.

Bout the only thing I liked on the album was the title track for Ed's guitar work.

Add some of the most insipid, cliched lyrics and Sammy's voice, which I was never a fan of even before he joined up with Ed, and 5150 didn't add up to much.

Eat 'Em and Smile blew 5150 off the fucking map, regardless of how much it sold.
