First Roth Army Kiwi To See Van Halen Live 6/16/2012 Phoenix Arizona.
That's interesting.Originally posted by jero
In the US, but worldwide it is 7.9 against 4.3
Where are those figures from, I can't find them.
Is there a way of getting full international figures to put the final nail in the Sheep's cofin?
The Power Of The Riff Compels Me
If these sales figures for the Roth-era VH and Van Hagar albums are absolutely authentic, then I can only say that it validates what I have believed all along: Sammy Hagar's compulsive and ludicrous bragging about how his years with the mic saw Van Halen become far more 'commercially' successful than the classic, original DLR-era had been was always as bizarre and flat-out untrue as I have always thought it to be.
Hagar's debut with '5150' must have thrown up a couple of candy-rock big hits on radio that were mostly lapped up by newbie VH fans that had known no better. Besides, Sammy never had it so good before he got onto the VH ship and soon made it 'his' best solo band ever.
I reckon even if these figures aren't entirely accurate, there's no denying that the classic Roth-era catalogue of six stellar albums have not only been forever infinitely more admired and loved but surely sold a whole lot more than Van Hagar's litany of candyfloss records ever did.
Music is like girlfriends to me; I'm constantly amazed at the choices other dudes make----DLR
what are the figure for Dave solo against Spammy solo or if you prefer without Vh?
its been almost 13 years since RIAA updated sales on FW. I am sure it has doubled just on new fans and old fans buying it again. RIAA is not accurate.
"I've been rich and I've been poor....rich is better, totally better"
its been 10 years since the S/T got Diamond status.
It amazes me how FW is the leaset selling of the real VH albums.
When the shit hits the fan, close your mouth and duck.

It's just his insecurities. He knows Dave will go down in history(and go down ON most of the hot young bitches in America), and he will be nothing more than a fat, screeching footnote. Next.
