Hagar still using Roth material

[Seshmeister]

What a fucking idiot, rightly called out on it in the comments by a VHLinks poster...

All these commenters saying Sam still sounds great...I want to know what video they watched. He sounds like shit!

Stealing somebody's words is something I really hate.

But here it's different: it's stealing from somebody famous. Anybody into VH will kinow these are Dave's.
It's just pitiful.

Spammy's just a phat kunt who's been hitting bottom, now he's digging into it.

Idiot... or clever marketer..?

Neither Roth nor Hagar have Edward to contend with... they have each though. Seems to be a run of Grumpy Old Rock Stars in the press lately...

I don't subscribe to Instashit so I'm out of the loop on this one. But anything or anyone who criticizes S P A M M Y is okay with me

I dunno...Sammy Hagar...he barely seems worth remembering anymore, much less still being peeved off about re: the Roth vs. Hagar biz.

Like, when I think of Van Halen these days, I just mentally think of the band with Dave in it, because the two configurations of the group with Dave in it are the only ones that meant anything to me musically. The Hagar years are just so...forgettable on every level to me now.

And even in terms of schmucky rock star behavior, Hagar barely registers a blip on the douchebag scale, much in the same way that the entirety of Hagar's musical output means little to nothing to me...because Hagar's music is as bland as his personality. Not even memorably bad, like a "good bad movie" that one can watch and enjoy experiencing how bad it is.

I was driving home from Las Vegas and fucking Sammy’s radio show came on. I quickly changed the channel. Sam is a big turd that won’t flush. I’m throwing a huge party when that mother fucker dies.

Sammy is such an ass clown. He proves it every time he opens his trap.

He knows, deep down, that he owes his post-1986 fandom and status to none other than DLR.

Cause prior to that no one was listening to Hagar music and if they were it was in select markets. He was a B-grade level artist.

That's totally true, in that despite [Hagar's] claims decades after the fact otherwise, in the early 1980s Sammy Hagar wasn't a massively successful solo artist in commercial terms. Not in terms of the amount of records he was selling, and he certainly wasn't selling out 12-15k seater arenas coast-to-coast as a headlining solo act prior to joining Van Halen.

Joining Van Halen was nothing less than a significant step up for Hagar re: the amount of records sold and the number and size of arenas he was playing to. Now, as to why Hagar later claimed he had already achieved solo success on the level of what CVH were doing before he joined the band...why bullshit about that?

I mean, he just wasn't as successful. It's a purely factual statement.
