    Who else could have replaced Dave in 1985?

    Just curious here. Who else was available or suitable for Dave's spot in 1985 when Sammy joined Van Halen?
    Love him or hate him...or just hate him...Sammy replaced Dave and somehow the band kept going. Impossible shoes to fill but somehow the band didn't tank.

    Personally if they just changed their name when Sammy joined, most would have accepted that i.e. it wasn't real Van Halen. 2 totally different things.

      "Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."

          no one suitable.

              They could have hired someone's ass, and called themselves Fart Halen...

                              and they could have...

                                  changed their name to Vanbarge...and nailed the fucking soundtrack for the fucking mammoth hit with the robot and Steve Guttenberg...

                                          Sting was out there...and he did that cameo for Dire Straights...he could have taken over the Halens and influxed them with his solo-R&B flava'...

                                          Imagine VH roll out that Russians song...

                                          They could have called themselves Polalen...

                                                  I'm still stuck on Wham Halen...

                                                  There's a fucking ring there...and watching George Michaels tearing it up vocally...with the other Wham guy trading guitar licks with spEDddy...and adding monster back-up vocals to anthony...

                                                  shit...VanWham would have taken it straight to the grammys...where they would have performed with a young Rihanna singing some sort of vocals with them....

                                                      It was a combination of that, and Sammy jumping on the slam Dave bandwagon with the brothers. Sammy wasn't there when any of the shit went down, so he had no right to talk smack about it. It showed a lack of professionalism and that he was insecure in Daves shadow.
