As far as the question of Al's involvement in the VH songwriting..... these guys seem to think Al is the one who helped Eddie "shape" the riffs into songs. Al may have had a part in that, but he clearly didn't do it on his own, or else the songs on VDIII wouldn't have been such a fucking mess. Van HALEN songs & Van Hagar songs were "shaped" somewhat differently, which obviously means Dave & played a major part in that "shaping".No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

David Coverdale? When was Vai with them? After their hits period I think...Comment

Vai was '89 to '90.
I think FORD is calling Jack Russell a Plant clone.Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.Comment

Personally, I had very little use for what followed after Roth left the band, so even if Van Halen HAD sold more records with Hagar it wouldn't have made a lick of difference to me. It certainly wouldn't have made me reassess Van Hagar. In point of fact, it wasn't really until after Hagar left the band that I was even aware of what the overall album sales were.
Put it this way: Jump was Van Halen's biggest single in commercial terms. At best, I liked the tune, and that was true even back when it was first released, back when Roth was still in the band. On the other side of the coin, I quite enjoyed The DLR Band album, and I only happened to stumble across that album in a record store in 1998 when flipping through David Lee Roth CDs, as there was virtually no publicity surrounding the release of it and it ended up selling...what, less than 100k copies, if memory serves?Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

I think when the fire happened, it wasn't even Great White proper but Jack Russell's Great White - Russell being the only guy in the band who was with Great White when they hit their peak in the late 1980s - who were playing. Sort of one of those moniker arrangements like Stephen Pearcy's Ratt or whatever.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

Ed was a great riff writer but a horrible song writer. He was spectacular inside a very narrow band of expertise. He needed other’s to make great songs and Dave had a big part to play there but also the producer had a huge role. Ted Templeman had a lot to do with what we grew up listening to.
Which is why the songs - not just the lyrics and singing - were just so very different with Van Hagar. Ted and Dave no longer there and that's what we got.
Seriously it should have never been billed as 'Van Halen'.=V V=
