Dave made the right move!

[MightyVanAaron]

Well we got to see both of his options and both were really bad.

Velvet Revolver jumped the shark on this one. WHat an awful job!

The most uncool thing ever!

Induction speech was off the cuff and horrendous, the performance was even worse. "Err Van Halen used to play house parties in Pasadena that were sold out." OUtstanding Weiland!

It wasn't about the music at all again it was all about selling Tequila and the new VR record.

What an embarassment having Hagar introduce the Velvet Revolver performance. Then VR slaughters both ATL and how about Runaround? Weiland didn't sing a single verse?

This wasn't well rehearsed, passionate, or heartfelt at all.

THe Other 1/2 with the 1/2 assed house band? Pathetic

Dave would have ripped it up with his crew!

Although I questioned it at first, Dave made the right move!

THe heckler said at all when he shouted 3x "THat wasn't Van Halen"

Boy,You Are Stupid.

Thank fucking God David wasn't a part of this. And thank God the important part of Van Halen was nowhere to be found. Wisest thing to do, considering the apparent result...

[MightyVanAaron]

I gotta say Mike and Sam were lame as well. Both were like deers standing in headlights. You think they could've thought of something profound to say.

I don't blame Dave at all.

How can you honor an artist for their work yet not give them a say in how their work is presented?

Its what Van Halen is all about.

IMPACT!

Which in this case was 1/2 ass. Dave is not a 1/2 ass performer.

Both presentations were half ass and that doesn't cut it when your competing for Greatest American Hard Rock Band of all time!

Iam not anti Hagar at all but you have to admit he looked like a Douche BAg when was forced to introduce Velvet Revolver.

[jgdrag]

He looked like a douche bag all night!

[Matt White]

DAVE would have given the thoughtful speach...

instead....virtually nothing......

POETIC

[bueno bob]

Well...the sun has either set on this band, or IS setting as we speak...

This is it.

Na, that's water under the bridge at this point.

They've missed the boat.

[Matt White]

Yeah...that was one thing that really struck me during the performances....

VAN HALEN could have been the Greatest American Hard Rock Band of all time...but they dropped out of the competition back in 1985.........

R.E.M. has had more of an impact on rock music...and is held in higher esteem by their peers...and that is a FUCKING TRAGEDY

[bueno bob]

They achieved it - 1978 to 1985, in so far as I'm concerned. Reclaimed the title briefly in 1996.

On a personal note, I'm content with that. When they fired on all cylinders (which was admittedly rare), they were unfuckingstoppable.

[MightyVanAaron]

Personally

I would have rather have watched Dave face plant trying to go Air Roth giving a 110% than have watched this abortion.

Dude. We get it Hagar you want us to buy more Cabo Wabo.

[MightyVanAaron]

In the category of Alltime Greatest American Hard Rock Band its

Metallica

GnR

Aerosmith

&

Classic VH

If you judge each at their peak Classic VH wins hands down.

The Beach Boys would crush REM in the Pop Rock category
