Ok, just the numbers for those who brag about Spammy's #1 records with VH. Ok, so Spammy jumps on board when the band is at the PINNACLE of it's career and scores a host of #1s and some hit singles (he still never had a #1 hit single like Dave's "Jump"). But, I digress...each album dropped in sales since Sammy took the helm. Dropping like dead flies...
VAN HALEN went from obscurity to SUPER GROUP STARDOM
VAN HAGAR went from SUPER GROUP STARDOM (as Van Halen) to MEDIOCRE AOR to horseshit
VAN HALEN is played constantly on the radio, at events, in commercials, in movies
VAN HAGAR is played on pussy stations, in fag bars, and at 5150
VAN HALEN: 38 million records sold
VAN HAGAR: 21 million records sold
DAVID LEE ROTH: 8 million records sold
SAMMY HAGAR: 6 million records sold (with a longer career and more albums to his name)
VAN HALEN RIAA DIAMOND ALBUMS: 2 - Van Halen (I), 1984
VAN HAGAR RIAA DIAMOND ALBUMS: *crickets*
DAVID LEE ROTH: 4 Top 20 albums, 2 Top 10 albums, 9 Top 10 singles, and 12 Top 20 singles.
SAMMY HAGAR: 2 Top 20 albums, 0 Top 10 albums, 9 Top 10 singles, and 12 Top singles.
DAVID LEE ROTH: 4 Top 20 Billboard singles (2 Top 10), 4 Top 20 BB albums, 2 Top 10 BBs.
SAMMY HAGAR: 0 Top 20 Billboard singles, 2 Top 20 Billboard albums, 0 Top 10 Billboard albums.
DAVID LEE ROTH: 4 PLATINUM ALBUMS, (3 Double)
SAMMY HAGAR: 2 PLATINUM ALBUMS
In other words, Sammy with a SUPERSTAR band and a much longer solo career than Dave still couldn't best him in any "real" category except for the #1 albums he got riding on Dave's coattails and the "name"-- VAN HALEN that Dave and the boys had already made household.
But, as we know HISTORY tells the true story of who were LEGENDS and who were FLY-BY-NIGHTERS.
Sorry, Spammy you'll always be #2. You will always sing DAVE's songs and he NEVER will sing yours.
One concert with Van Halen reunited and your whole career would be forgotten...
How DO you sleep at night??
