    The only problem is Ray replaced the Cabo Homo with Lube Boy. Talk about going out of the frying pan and into the fire.

    Those who don't know Dave the person may think he's weird. Much like Sam. Cause he really doesn't know Dave.

    Yeah, but you run Sam off to replace him with Roth, not with Cherone or Mitch Malloy. And for fuck's sake you don't stand by and say it is a good idea for Eddie to sing lead vocals on a track.

    I know Mitch Malloy has to make a living somehow but it's kind of ludicrous the way he has spun a failed audition in a rehearsal room to him being an ex Van Halen singer.

    Sort of like that fundaMENTAList preacher Jeff Fenholt billed himself as a "former Black Sabbath singer" when the reality is he cut one demo with Tony Iommi in 1985 - for what was then being called a solo album, and only rebranded as "Black Sabbath" by the greedy fucks at Warner Brothers when they didn't think an Iommi solo album would sell.

    Jump is the only #1 single. These are ranked by weeks on the chart.







    Whoa, where's Pretty Woman? They actually had more top 20 hits with Roth.

    Pretty Woman peaked at #12 on the Hot 100 and #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. Not sure why it's not up there.

    So many quotes that will dig your own hole in there. The great irony is that Sam is trying to trash Dave the whole time but actually reveals more about himself in that whole monologue. What a goofball.

    Dave earned his legacy a long time ago. Mission accomplished. Sam is such a insecure son of a bitch he just has to remind everyone all the time he was once in Van Halen.

    So apparently you can inherit the whiny bitch gene.

    His F List son is now playing the same game trying to use Roth to get publicity...


    In a recent interview with Chuck Shute, Sammy Hagar’s son Andrew Hagar opened up about his experiences on social media. He shared that he has been subjected to harassment from David Lee Roth fans and others who blame his father for the decline of Van Halen.

    To explain his point, he stated:

    “[People hate me] because of the whole Van Halen feud. I mean, I have people who are massive David Lee Roth fans or people who think my father ruined Van Halen that just direct all that ire toward me.

    I’ve blocked a lot of those people now. So, it’s not as bad as it used to be, but for a long time, I would get crazy messages every day. Many messages every day. Usually going into my, you know, whatever that other folder is on Instagram for people you don’t follow or people that don’t follow you.

    But, yeah, it’s just – it blows my mind that people have that kind of time and want to spend that kind of emotional energy just trying to completely eviscerate a stranger who may or may not ever see what they’re saying. It just blows my mind, [Laughs].”
    Ironically this guy wouldn't be getting interviewed by anyone if it wasn't for his dad riding on the coattails of Roth.

    Considering his huge advantages he has very little profile anywhere. He has one gig booked - playing with his old man.

    Hadn't even heard of [Hagar's kid] prior to reading your post.

    Does seem a bit fucked up that others would send the kid messages about his father and Van Halen. I mean, the kid was born in 1984: what the fuck did he personally have to do with anything pertaining to his father, Roth and Van Halen?

    But more to your point, why would the kid bring any of that up publicly, other than (duh) the publicity factor?

    Meh. Whatever. It was lame enough after a time when the principals in Van Halen were commenting on Roth vs. Hagar. Now it has devolved into the nepobabies weighing in...ghey.

    One of the guys on Sirius mentioned Hagar's kid's music, saying it was pretty good and to check it out.

    That pic tells me everything I needed to know, and now I won't bother checking it out.

    Truth be told, got nothing against Hagar's kid, but have zero interest in even so much as hearing his stuff: there's so much mediocre tripe being fobbed off out there these days that even his lineage notwithstanding I have no reason (certainly not based on that pic) to think his stuff will rise above mediocre.

    There does seem to be an emergence of various rock/music legend's kids getting attention lately... Eddie Money, Willie Nelson, Hagar, EVH, etc... It's nice to see the family based generational torch being passed. But, let's be realistic... none of them will ever achieve what their parents did and their eras of musical success will never be repeated or revived anywhere near the levels in which the older generation achieved success.

    Don't fault the kids... that's life.

    It’s extremely rare the offspring of some icon even comes close to their parent. Extreme talent is rare. It’s why it’s cherished so much.

    How Sammy Hagar made Van Halen even better, according to Sammy Hagar


    After Van Halen parted ways with David Lee Roth in the mid ‘80s, Sammy Hagar stepped in to fill the void. The Californian singer doesn’t look at it like he merely steadied the ship, though – the comically unflappable Hagar is of the opinion that he dramatically improved Eddie Van Halen’s group.

    “I had more experience under my belt when I joined Van Halen in 1985 than they had,” he told Classic Rock, which is true because Hagar had already made waves as the frontman in Montrose in the mid-70s, but perhaps overlooks the fact that his moment appeared to have passed at that point – his joining the group all being down to Eddie Van Halen’s car mechanic for recommending they audition him. Anyway, sorry for interrupting Sammy, you carry on: “They’d been together for seven years making records. I had been around for ten years before that.”

    Hagar says that the band were in awe of their new recruit, thinking, “Wow, here’s a professional”. “I knew how to sing, I knew what Eddie was playing, I knew which keys things were in, and the arrangement of the music. Eddie really got off on that, because he never had a musical partner with Dave.” He recalls that their fandom of him spread throughout the extended family, with Eddie’s dad Jan Van Halen telling his son, “This guy sings like I play clarinet”.

    The stats, of course, back up Sammy’s bragging – apart from whether he sung like Jan Van Halen played clarinet, we have no stats on that – as the next four Hagar-fronted Van Halen records all became huge hits, going to Number One and becoming multi-platinum successes.

    It couldn’t last, though. “The ninth year, it got really rough,” Hagar told Classic Rock. “The tenth year there was no more, and the 2004 reunion was a mess. We never got back to that beginning that I loved so much.”


    Oh boy... Douche is loose again.

    So all those songs Dave and Eddie wrote together that never happened in S P A M M Y world.

    Sam is like a huge log in the toilet that won't flush and after it's finally gone he's the green monster that comes up out of the sewer and tries to go into your ass. The guy won't go away.

    What an insecure son of a bitch. He's going to spend every day until he finally croaks trying to convince the world he's better than Dave. The guy can afford a private jet. Has multiple homes in fabulous locations. Drives dumb super cars. Has the money and time to do pretty much what he wants and he's still bothered he couldn't steal Dave's legacy.

    Roth is loving it. The gardener probably tells Dave hey Sam was on The Nobody Pod Cast saying he's better than you. Dave laughs. Hey, make sure you get the backyard looking great because I'm going to film a dance video out there.

    This came up on my feed today as well but I think it may be a story from last year but it's got over 400 comments already so job done for the hits and so on.

    The stats actually show that Van Hagar lost a piece of their audience every year. Yes, all 4 of their albums went platinum. But each one sold LESS than the one before. And obviously none of them ever went "Diamond" like Van Halen I & 1984 did.

    Oh boy... Douche is loose again.

    "[In 1985] Van Halen had been together for seven years making records. I had been around for ten years before that."

    A bit fuzzy as to what Hagar is referring to, specifically "ten years before that"...whatever "that" means.

    The first album Hagar appeared on far as I can tell was the first Montrose album, and that album came out in...what...1973. So Hagar had been around five years before Van Halen's first album was released.

    Not sure which stats the article refers to, either. To say the band had a continued degree of success under Hagar would be accurate. To say the band had more albums which charted or chart placed at #1 under Hagar would be accurate. To say the band were more commercially successful would be inaccurate because Roth outsold Hagar by more than 2:1. Would you rather sell 20 million records and have more of them place #1 in the charts than another band which sold 40 million records and have none of those place #1 in the charts?

    Van Halen were already a multi-platinum success when Roth left. They continued to be a successful band producing platinum albums after Roth left. That isn't the same as inferring the band became more commercially successful after Roth left, because the stats (of course) tell a different kind of truth.

    Not that amounts of records sold - or how high they charted - mean anything in terms of who is 'better' anyway, because as we all know had Hagar sung on those Roth-records Van Halen would have been even MORE successful. : )

    From a book I read a while ago Spammy was not the first choice after DLR's departure, I think Patty Smyth or even others were offered the job but declined..Spammy should be reminded of that. I prefer Gary VHIII's attitude over Spammy, he should just move on an shut the fuck up.
