Every Hard Rock Fan Alive v. The Van Halen Brothers
Back Story: When Sammy Hagar was fired from Van Halen in 1996, The Van Halen Brothers at first brought David Lee Roth back into the fold – even cutting two new songs with him. But when it came time for a new album and tour, they dumped Diamond Dave in favor of former Extreme singer Gary Cherone. The result was the crappiest Van Halen album ever, and a poorly attended tour. Eleven years later we’re still waiting for Dave to come back.
Charge: Recklessly choosing Mr. “More Than Words” when Roth was willing to come back.
Verdict: Guilty of reunion negligence.
Punishment: The Van Halen brothers are now forbidden from touring without Roth on lead vocals and Michael Anthony on bass.
