Van Halen to Perform at 2015 Billboard Music Awards

[Never was]

I hope the strong performance is indicative of more rehearsing for this tour because the band was under rehearsed for ADKOT tour.

I'm not big at ripping people on weight But at a certain point with Wolf it becomes a health issue, he has gotten very big. It still amazes me how thin Roth has gotten in recent years.

Probably not getting near the rider for wolf

Just found this. The chick should check out Dave's early 80s rants.

I've coughed up smarter organic material than that woman.

'Clearify'???!!

He gets all the crap the other guys don't want. He's got a walk in closet at home full of brown M+Ms.

I'd hate to be labeled a fat shamer

Too late for that.

Quadburgers?

A turkey on rye with Swiss? Throw in the rest of the turkey and a bucket of tofu?

Dave asked if he would ever sing Van Hagar lol

Always a great interview.

Hahahahah after all these years Dave hits back with facts - half!

I didn't even think it was that close...

Wolf definitely needs to reign it in. Being concerned about someone's health isn't ripping on them. Classless "jokes" are. There's a big difference.

And Dave is sickly skinny...reminds me of my ex with Parkinson's...

Over half....


Van HALEN - 34 million

Van Hagarita - 16 million

Van Halen has sold over 97 Million records in their 42 years in existence. 57 million coming from the 7 Roth fronted albums and 27 million for the 4 Hagar fronted albums. Not including live records or compilations here, just studio albums. Roth albums average out to be right around 8 million a record. The average is thrown off by the fact that 34 million album sales came from the debut and “1984” alone. Hagar albums average out to be right around 7 million a record. So we are really close here averaging it out and taking into account that Roth has 3 more records than Hagar.

Dave's facts were on the mark however per album sales were a little closer. If ADKOT had never been made the per album sales would be a little farther apart.

You're obviously getting your figures from somewhere else than RIAA....

And yes, I realize RIAA doesn't include overseas.....

Same stats posted here in 2004 before ADKOT.

The author doesn't mention the source of the stats but this source agrees if you add up the numbers.

I don't believe that site for a second....

11 million for 5150?

6.5 million for fucking Balance?

Hell no....

I agree- those numbers are inflated. If memory serves, it went something like 6 mil (5150), 4 mil (ou812) and like 3 mil each for fuck and balance. those numbers aren't current to this second, so if we want to be generous and add like another mil or 2 to the totals of the four combined i'm ok with that. 5150 was the best selling of the 4 and there's no way that thing has gone over 10+ mil.
