$84 million still can't buy class or integrity. Still you'd think with all that cash Spam wouldn't be such a bitter douche.

How accurate is this chunk of cheese?
The first time Eddie Van Halen and I met, it was around 1977. We were on a stadium show with Boston, Black Sabbath, myself, Van Halen. He came to my dressing room, and said, "I'm a Montrose freak, I love the band!" And Ted Templeman told me, when he signed Van Halen, they were called something else, and he wanted to name them after the guitar player. He said on the first Van Halen record, he took the first Montrose record in there and said, "Boom. We're going to have eight great songs, they're going to be this long, they're going to be this tempo." And pretty much patterned the whole thing after it – right down to saying, "Why don't you guys get Sammy Hagar to sing in this band? He's been thrown out of Montrose." That's a true story!

Sam Hagar is delusional.
I've given Sam's fans the benefit of the doubt and left them alone. But if anybody buys this shit...then Sam's not the only one who's delusional. Sure, Ted came in and forced the band to record a Montrose-sounding-record. Right after he named the band Van Halen. Because we all know that Montrose set the fucking world on fire, right? What the fuck ever! I hate this guy so much...
Please forgive me for breaking my "No Hagar In The Main" rule...I try and i try..and I get sucked right back in every time

It is such a damn shame this guy was ever allowed to front Van Halen. He's not cool, has no class, no credibility and, sadly, his name will always tarnish Van Halen's legacy. I've never read an interview with Eddie where he mentions Montrose as an influence. Has anyone else? I know the brothers and Mike went out of their way to say how great Sammy was after Dave left, as part of the promote Van Hagar/hate Dave campaign. But this is pure Hagar. Re-writing history and blatantly lying. I'll say it again, Hagar is the most delusional and disrespectful replacement member of a famous band in the history of rock. It's weird. The guy needs help.

The dude is mental. Cant discuss anything anymore unless he includes Van Halen..
And hell it doesnt even have to be true !
When this idiot should be paying his fullest respects to Ronnie Montrose, he instead took
the oppurtunity to continue his PMS against Van Halen. Sammy, this was about Montrose ?
Everyone who even knows a shred of Van Halen history knows Dave suggested "Van Halen" as the
name. To suggest VH used Montrose as a "template" for VH1, Hagar has officially reached a new lower
level. This was a tribute for Ronnie Montrose you stupid fucking Red Chunking chicken shit jealous dumbfuck !
To make that story about Van Halen shows how much genuine compassion you had over Ronnie Montrose's
passing... Fucking None... Simply another interview to leech onto Van Halen. Cold hearted liar.

Not only does he continue his VH PMS, but he advertises himself, his stupid club and his idiotic birthday bash. It's always about him. He mentions wanting to represent all 4 chapters of his illustrious career at his next birthday party. What a fucking dick. Looks like Ronnie ruined that for ya, don't it?
He is a pure drop of poison in the eye of rock and roll.

"Ya see Mike, when I was fronting Van Halen, the electric geetar had not been invented yet. So I had Eddie Van Halen install an AM radio in his and boom, we had a sound. I got the idea from a movie called Convoy, about truckers and CB radios. Did you know I was the inspiration for Smokey & The Bandit? Yup, Burt Reynolds saw me working at a car wash, cleaning the hubcaps on some guy's Trans Am, next thing ya know they made a movie about me. But I'm not bitter, I'm over the whole thing. Tell ya the truth, Loni Anderson's breasts were too large for me. Man, I'm hungry. Did I ever tell you how I invented the McRib sandwich? I had this can of SPAM, a dried-up hoagie roll and some pickles laying around..."

The bullshit this man spews is starting to make me physically ill; I had to stop reading the RS piece after that paragraph. Unfortunately there are enuff morons out there that believe what he says that the lies will perpetuate themselves. Why are this guy's comments even in the Main? I need to go take an aspirin.

I am about ready to go protest his Chickenshit shows, with protest signs, old school bible thumper style warning the people on the evils of lies and how they will go to hell if they go see the Feet. I use to be so nonchalant about this corpulent (look it up) douche, but now I wanna punch his yellow glasses through his corneas.

I officially HATE this fat fuck.
http://thephoenix.com/Boston/music/1...e=1#TOPCONTENT
Last month, after Van Halen dropped A Different Kind of Truth (Interscope) — the rock legends' first album of all new material with original singer David Lee Roth in almost three decades—fans and detractors alike took to the Internet to vote yea or nay on the comeback gigs. But it wasn't just fans checking out the new stuff: the group's two former singers, longtime Roth adversary Sammy Hagar and Boston native Gary Cherone, also weighed in. I tracked them down for their takes on Truth, weeks before Van Halen were due to hit the TD Garden without them.
"He's gotten sillier," a jovial Hagar said of Roth over the phone just before Chickenfoot played The Tonight Show last week. "This new stuff, I'm just watching some of the YouTube things, and I saw the video and I'm just goin', 'Geez . . . okay, I dunno.' I guess whenever you're young, in your 20s, it's the hottest time of your career. You're physically strong, you got it all together, and you want it bad, and you become something that works, and it helps you get to where you want to be — and that's all good. But when you're 50, 60 years old and you still try to be that person, it's impossible."
Roth was long the archetype for the sun-bleached, spandex-clad California beach boy frontman, strutting about like a new wave Mick Jagger throughout the '80s, doing high-flying splits off Alex Van Halen's drum riser, and influencing a stream of second-rate imitators. These days, he's taken to a more vaudeville-style act, complete with a headset and a slide area onstage to shimmy on centered between guitarist Eddie Van Halen and his bass-playing son, Wolfgang.
"The stuff that I've seen, the band is on fire," Cherone says while driving through Boston on his way to watch the Celtics game last week. "When [Eddie's] on, he makes it looks effortless. There's a reason he inspired the next generation of rockers. I'm not a big fan of [Roth's] headpiece. I'll give him a nod for trying something new; it looks a little awkward. It's like, you don't reinvent the wheel. You know what it reminds me of? It's a little 'master of ceremonies.' I did a little theater, and it's a little theater for me. Again, he's a showman, he's reinventing himself. He's doing a sort of James Brown soul dancing which is good, I get it, and he can do whatever he wants — he doesn't have to prove anything to anybody."
Coming out of Extreme in 1996, Cherone had the unenviable task of joining the Van Halen soap opera after Hagar had been fired or quit (depending on whom you ask) after 11 years, and in the middle of a much-hyped Roth return for a two-song greatest hits contribution. To many fans, Cherone's three-year stint remains a footnote. But Cherone himself appears to have perspective on that episode in his career as well as on the new disc.
"This record, for me, it's the best thing since Fair Warning," he says. "[First single] 'Tattoo' is the only misstep. You wait 28 years to hear Van Halen, and in the context of the record, it's not the best song by far. Off the top of my head, I'm thinkin' of 'China Town,' if that was the first thing you heard, or 'As Is,' or 'Honeybabysweetiedoll.' Any of those three? People would've been like, 'Are you fucking kidding me?' "
Hagar claims not to have heard the entire album. "I don't listen to much new music unless I hear a new song on the radio, and the last bands that did that to me were the Black Keys and Kings of Leon. When I heard 'Tattoo,' that single — and I saw the video because everybody kept sending it to me like, 'My god, have you seen this?' . . . 'Oh my god, you must be laughing your ass off!'— it wasn't a song that made me run out and buy their record. And so I haven't heard it. I haven't downloaded it, I haven't done anything. I heard another one that was kinda goofy too, and then I heard, on the radio, 'She's the Woman,' and I thought that was kinda cool. That one sounds like what I would expect from Van Halen, a little closer to it. The other stuff didn't sound like what I was expecting, that's for sure."
Then there is the matter of today's Van Halen playing only songs from the Roth catalog while on tour. Hagar says that it must be hard for Eddie and Alex to have to ignore a gaping section of their career. "The difference between Dave and I in that band, besides all the other million things, is that he can't sing any of the Van Hagar-era songs. Maybe he could do 'Finish What Ya Started,' possibly — so that makes it kind of weird for [Alex and Eddie] I think to take 11 years out of that thing."
Another sticking point for Hagar has been that about half the material on A Different Kind of Truth comes from old demos, several from before the first Van Halen record was released in 1978. But Cherone, who in addition to fronting Hurtsmile and a reignited Extreme – ready to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Pornograffiti with a tour of Japan and Russia, and possibly the States, later this year — looks at it differently.
"The starting point [for A Different Kind of Truth] was the old demos," Cherone says, "but to me, a riff's a riff. Eddie's added new things to it — this stuff is on fire. Of course you miss [ousted bassist Michael Anthony]; he was one of the four food groups. But Wolfie's no slouch. Alex is a machine, and Eddie is playing better than he's ever played. I love the record. It's kind of inspiring, it's like the king just took back his crown."
Meanwhile, the Hagar-led Chickenfoot are preparing to embark on a spring tour, with a date in Los Angeles bookended by a pair of Van Halen shows, something that initially had him pissed at the promoters.
"First I said, 'What the fuck are you doing putting us the same time as Van Halen?' " Hagar says now. "It's just gonna cause a needless competition between the fans, and I don't like that. I want the fans to feel like they can love Van Halen and that they can love Chickenfoot totally the same. I don't have any way of competing with those guys; you can't compete with Van Halen. I'm part of that legacy, how could I go out and compete with something I'm part of? I don't look at us like that, but I know some people do. You want to go see Van Halen one night and see us the next and compare us, you want to do that? Roll up your sleeves and come on. I welcome it, because I think this band is smokin'."
By comparison, Cherone, wants a competition, but not with Van Halen. He wants to roll with Chickenfoot, and he's called out Hagar to take Extreme on the road with them this year for a tour that would make perfect sense. "I love Gary," says Hagar. "He's a nice guy. I like Extreme. It would probably be a good package. . . . I could see it working."
The only question is whether Roth and the Van Halens would be hitting up YouTube to see those tour highlights.

On the bright side, it seems Gary Cherone gets it. Nothing but good things to say all around & we all agree Tattoo was a bad 1st song and not so great video.
Samme should watch the opening of MSG NYC Unchained. Let's see him spin that to a negative.
And how can Alex & Eddie forget an 11 year gap of music that you were in?
YOU STUPID ASSHOLE SAMMY! They can forget it the same way you made them forget the 11 years before you were in the band. You fucking asshole.

I cant believe the shit this fucking guy spews. "Sillier"? Does that fucking clown think that because he thinks he's serious, he's serious? Ya know Mayor McCheese? That fucker is serious, too.
I can't believe that this guy that I've never met can make me hate his monkey ass. Shame on me. Guess one can pity him, since no matter how much money he makes, his legacy will be vanilla with all the excitement sucked out of it. Twenty years from now, this fool's voice will not be heard on classic rock radio. Music loving kids will not be rediscovering any of his work. ADKOT and this tour erased him.
Even that interview made him look delusional and biased. Compare his and Cherone's comments and you know who the fearful, insecure hater is.
I bet in private moments at the Cheddar Compound he thinks to himself, "Dave is a better musician than I am. Dave has more "charasma" than I do. My range is better!!! But my voice is annoying. If Eddie had written such cool music, I coulda done better! Why does Eddie write better stuff with Dave? Dave writes better vocal melodies than me. Daves dogs are cooler than my friends. Russel is cooler than Eddie Trunk, thats for sure. But the lyrics suck!!! Dont want em to get your goat, dont show em where it's hid? What the fuck is that shit? Nah, thats better than every thing I wrote for VH...." and so on.
That line about he cant compete against something he was a part of is such bullshit. All he ever does is put down and compare. Plus, he was NEVER part of CLASSIC Van Halen.
Let me be the umpteen hundredth to say on this site,
FUCK HAGAR.

Well you could take to his fan pages and say this:
"First I said, 'What the fuck are you doing putting us the same time as Van Halen?' " Hagar says now. "It's just gonna cause a needless competition between the fans, and I don't like that.
Sam if you don't want a competition, then why do you do interviews where you say man for man, Chickenfoot is better than VH?
You perpetuate the "competition."
Every time you are interviewed and complain about VH you perpetuate the "competition."
or
you could listen to the song Different Devil and you realize quickly that pissing and moaning is the only card he can play at this point.

It's amazing how classy Gary is. Never was a big fan of his voice or his style, but that aside, he is very complimentary and respectful of Van Halen. I love that he prattled of the names of the face-rippin' songs on Truth like he gave it, or has been giving it a serious listen. Just the way jerk-off tries to be blase about not listenting to it because he's too into the Black Keys or Kings of Leon (yeah, OK) is a joke. Hey Sammy, Gary said the king took back his throne. How do you like them apples?
