Be honest...........

[Bill Lumbergh]

............do you EVER hear Van Hagar tunes on the rock stations with any regularity? Yes we all know radio sucks nowadays, and when in the car I listen to CD's 90 percent of the time. Every one of the six pack is represented on rock radio here in the Bay Area.........even Diver Down gets 2-3 tracks played. I almost NEVER hear Van Hagar........unfortunately they do play a fair amount of solo Sammy. In fact when they recently did a "Live at 5" thing, it was a fucking cover from RHRN....not even an original piece of shit Van Hagar tune. What a legendary band Van Hagar is..........especially when they promote the new abortion, then follow it with "And the cradle will rock..." "Yeah Sammy and the boys will be rockin' it tonight at the HP Pavilion.........here's Runnin' with the Devil......"

[Dan]

Nope,Not down here in N.Z Bill.Who's Van Hagar anyway?

[Cathedral]

WEBN plays nothin BUT Classic Halen, and they rip the fuck out of any Spam Halen tune that gets requested before letting it spin.

WTUE, which is a Dayton, Ohio station is Bi when it comes to Halen...They are suck ass's in the biggest way.
but they play the coolest NON-Halen classics ever recorded the rest of the time.

Spam Halen has no legacy in this state, fellow and fellowette soldiers.

[Bill Lumbergh]

It's weird, no one seems to give a fuck around here about Van Hagar, but a lot of people seem to love his solo garbage(Spammy). That said his last few times here solo he could hardly fill 500 seaters.

[Bill Lumbergh]

I'm not gonna waste precious seconds of my life checking but I doubt either of their 2 Bay Area shows will sell out.

[Cathedral]

"Hagar Sucks" solo or with a band, that's all i know and it should be written on my tombstone if anyone gives a fuck about my dying wishes.

[Bill Lumbergh]

Shit man, even Dave fans seem to dig Sam with Montrose.........not me my friend. ANY SAM IS BAD SAM!

Hey Bill!

Word?

I used to respect Montrose cos of their ties with Templeman, early VH and the influence that the first record brought to the table at WB. I never really dug it though. However, I fucking loathe Alex Van Halen at this point and he played drums on the six pack?

Hagar and Alex have padded their collective wallets by completely destroying the Halen Legacy. Eddie is helpless. I'm just going by his quotes but from what it seems, he tried to bring Dave back and "I actually love the guy" (Dave) "He hooked me up with a cancer specialist in Houston." Yet, Alex shot it down BOTH times. Then Dave saying at the R&R HOF that he will only refer to AVH as "The Drummer?" Now you read Ed saying "Alex IS Van Halen." He obviously is in control cos Ed is too drunk and it only took a dinner with Spam to recindle the badblood and unobedient Hagar. You tell me bro?

$$$$$$$$$$

[wraytw]

It's a fairly even spilt of both Classic VH and Van Hagar with the stations around here.

[ewenbrandon]

Hi all,

I am obviously late into this conflab but would like to say I loathe the Van Hagar shit, will never buy the so called greatest hits or anything until the Diamond is back in the groove.

As for Sam, I liked the Montrose stuff, although I prefered Ronnie's later band, Gamma. SH solo stuff, I have a lot on vinyl but particularly liked marching to mars.

The Diamond geezer is undoubtedly the man, awesome is just not superlative enough! Van Hagar suck now, but not as bad as when they brought in the prick on VH III: I thought that shit was appalling!

[Warham]

I never hear Van Hagar on the radio.

They don't want people to switch the station.

[Matt White]

I live about 45 minutes from DETROIT and about the same from TOLEDO, OHIO. I get 101.1FMWRIF and the TOLEDO station 104.7, both rock stations that have been on the air 30+ years. They know rock and FUCKING roll. NEITHER station plays the dreaded Van Hagar often, maybe 5-10% of the time. It didn't increase for more than 3 days around the time the SHAM HALEN 2004 tour rolled through town. It very apparent that people of both the great states of MICHIGAN & OHIO know full well that DAVID LEE ROTH IS VAN HALEN!!!!

[DR CHIP]

Hagar sucks and Ed can't play unchained....word

[Carmine]

syracuse ny, 95x plays 98% classic VH, if they play any hagarized stuff its off 5150.

[ULTRAMAN VH]

The Rock stations in this neck of the woods are pro DLR, very little Van Hagar is played. The dj's knocked the shit out of It's About Time. They just came right out on live radio and said it sucks, bring back DLR. I would have to agree with Max. Alex and Mike are really stuck up Hagar's ass, and Ed is just a shell of what he once was. So his input in the bands future is minimum at best. If you notice, Spam and Alice are doing all the promotional interviews, and Ed is just hiding in the shadows. This band doesn't have leadership. An interview with the late Lawrence Welk would be more interesting than listening to these to Boners. Roth was the voice and leader of this band. Watch the Early Years DVD, Alex clearly admits they got Roth because he had charisma. Ed, AL and Mike handled the music and Roth entertained the crowd. It was the perfect combination. They don't have this with Hagar.

[Lou]

If you asked this three months ago, the answer would have been very rarely.

However, now with this tour, the stations have upped the Van Hagar. They're not Clear Channel stations either, so I don't understand why they feel the need to do this. Hopefully the percentage of Van Hagar vs. Van Halen songs will recede back to normal levels (meaning about 1% Van Hagar and 99% Van HALEN) once this tour is over.

[Panamark]

In Oz, I occasionally here "Dreams". (Then prompty smash the radio)
Apart from that, its all real Van Halen. Mostly, Panama, Jump, You really got me. Hot for Teacher.

We *NEVER* hear Sammy Solo.. What the fuck is that ?????

I still hear Just like Paradise and Cali girls regularly..

[Carmine]

dont forget go www.klpx.com to vote for dave!!

[ALMOSTsaved]

Yeah...it's not a 50/50 split, but yes the rock stations here play Van Hagar...

[lafours]

I actually hear Yankee Rose more than Van Hagar on our local Michigan classic rock station....all the rest is Classic VH...you might here "Finish What You Started " once on a while... Although "Dreams " was one of there biggest hits , you'll never here that kind of dated power balladry on an classic rock station..

[EmpyreLounge44]

I hear 'right now' from time to time as well as the occasional 'finish what you started,' 'why cant this be love' but for the most part it is either 'running with the devil,' 'jump,' 'unchained,' 'you really got me,' or 'hot for teacher' unless they are doing some sort of VH marathon.

[55starfire]

I laugh everytime I hear another classic VH tune on our air- even when the Vhagar circus was in town- classic VH was getting more airplay...

now a month or so later- NO its about time and 95% van HALEN... of course I change the station when I hear Hagar's voice- so maybe I am not completely accurate...

[Rikk]

I never hear Van Hagar on Q107 (allegedly Toronto's best rock). They play a lot of vintage Halen, but no Hagar crap. Again, I have heard ONE WAY TO ROCK and a couple of other abominations on this station, but I don't remember hearing almost any Hagar material since Sammy left in '96. They did play the one new song a few times (IT'S ABOUT TIME) and then had callers call in and tear the song up, after the D.J. finally proclaimed, "Well, it's official...fans want Dave back and this new song sucks." Seriously!

As for Sam's material, I hate the man but I still like the first Montrose album. That's it. Great album.

[Bill Lumbergh]

No doubt some of the songs are cool bro(musically). It's just the Spamster I cant stand.

Yup Riki is right, Q never plays any maggot infested rotting roadkill music from van gaygar, but on the 3rd of July(when the crapfest rolled that stink into town) they did play side 1 of 51.. haven't heard a single note since then. As for a station closer to Riki's hometown of Burlington
they have been playing "IAT" regularly I think that KK(a dj) likes the tune the station is 97.7 HTZ FM this by the way is a WANNABE Q107 station............. so I don't listen that often

[JCOOK]

Its' pretty evenly split here in the L.A. area, anytime I hear roy i turn it off i dont like to vomit.

Most of the sheep have realized that they are starting to plump up just like spam, so listening to any spam gaygar induces the ralphs for their new fad diets..............SPEWING FOR SPAM an easy and cheap way to lose weight.............fuck they must be going rampant at the links with this diet.

From the looks of it, I think the only specie that could manage such an endeavor would have to be the Mullet-Headed Fatass Michael Anthony eagle...apparently this is one huge bird!

Oh, was that the special that also had "Suicidal Moron Animals" on it as well? I think Eddie was featured, along with a clip of lemmings throwing themselves off of a cliff (sadly, Sam was not among those lemmings).

[John Ashcroft]

The stations here actually played Dave-era VH tunes to promote the latest Van Hagar show (last Sunday).

It was classic.

And nope, they really don't play that much Spammy-era VH here at all. Every once in a while you'll hear "Finish What ya Started", but it's at a ratio of about 300 VH to 1 VanHagar songs.

In fact, they actually play solo-Spammy more than Van Hagar. One of the stations have got a thing for "Mas Tequila".
