Which city is the most Pro-Roth/Anti-Hagar in the country?

[BITEYOASS]

Or the world for that matter?

Just want to know in order to plan my next vacation. :flame:

[Sensible Shoes]

If you go by percentages, my little town here has to win as I am about 10 percent of the population. :biggrin:

[kwame k]

Not here......Hagar still draws a crowd, I think!

Van Halen's bigger though!

[ThatArtGuy]

St. Louis is Hagar territory. I have no idea why.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I'd have to say Southern California has to be pro-Roth....

Plus, northeastern cities like Philly, New York, Pittsburgh and Boston are definitely NOT Hagar towns.....

For Hagar, I recall he always did well in the midwest, especially St. Louis....

[kwame k]

St. Louis is Hagar territory. I have no idea why.

Shitty beer and even shittier taste in music.......nice town;)

[Antman]

The whole world is anti-hagar-pro Roth.

[guwapo_rocker]

Pro Hagar: San Francisco, St. Louis, Cabo

Pro Roth: The rest of the planet, and Mars, they threw Hagar back.

[kwame k]

Nice sig, bro:beers8:

[DLR Bridge]

I'll vouch for DLR NJ all the way.

[BITEYOASS]

I would include Lansing, MI since the rock station Q106 only played Roth-era =VH=.

[kwame k]

Nice!

[FORD]

The first radio station outside of LA to play Van Halen was KISW in Seattle.

Just sayin'

[Warham]

As far as I know, Boston is all Roth.

We love the Tribe, Cavs, Browns...and the MIGHTY VAN HALEN!

Twona, Me, Pojo Von (I think), Damngoodtimes call all attest to this.

There's one Akron station that's more hagar friendly..but that's it.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Yup, WMMS was once one of the best rock stations in the country....

[Zing!]

I would guess the majority of Indiana to be pro-Roth. I have no idea if Bloomington has a statue of the Diamond One in their town square, but they should. Can't speak for MN unfortunately. Classic rock stations seem to play primarily classic 6-pack; I seldom hear any Hagarita songs - but I don't listen to the radio all that much either. I would put it 60-40 Dave in the Northstar State, but that's just a guess - could be higher. Maybe Northern Girl can shed some light on the sitchyashun.

[SeaVHfan]

I would say in my opinion that Seattle is Pro Roth. A few Hagar fans are here but more Classic Van Halen gets played on the radio.

That was a great, great station. It was all I listened to on my cable FM

Which songs have they aired so far, and what are they saying?

[ELVIS]

New Orleans is ROTH ROTH ROTH !!

No Van Hagar on the radio here at all...

Who told you that...

KISW was cool back in the day...

They play U2, newer AC/DC and Van Hagarrrgh (I just threw up) every time I visit...


:elvis:

[Atomic_Rob]

Unfortunately I wasn't there, but Dave played to an almost sold out Hammersmith Apollo in London in February 2004, which would be between 4 - 5,000. Hagar cancelled his show at the same venue either late the same year or the next year because he apparently sold 400 tickets.

[LoungeMachine]

No, they play both SwampCountry and SwampWestern.....

Seriously, they promoted the HELL out of Van Halen. Even had the band live in the studio on several occasions between 1978 and 1981. This station ID was recorded during one of those appearances, and yes, they were totally shitfaced when they did this........


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS5D7Bpw_Cc

They also played Ac/Dc before anybody else in the US. I had the Australian imports of "High Voltage" and "TNT" on vinyl long before most people knew who the Hell they were.

Neither KISW or KZOK played a single Van Hagar song on the radio for 8 years after Spam left the band in 1996. Sadly I think their corporate owners ordered them to play it for the 2004 Velveetapalooza tour, and they haven't gone back to not playing it again since. But they still play more actual Van Halen though.

[LoungeMachine]

Yes FORD.....

Back in the days of Steve Slayton they were huge VH fans......

:gulp:

But they're slamming the new stuff......

[FORD]

KISW hasn't been the same since half the team defected to KXRX back in the 80's. And definitely went down hill after the Entercom takeover.

Haven't listened much to KZOK since Bob Rivers left either. Tried listening to Danny Partridge, but it just ain't the same.

One of them has to embrace the new album, damn it.

On further review, it seems that KZOK is acting a little more responsibly.....

:gulp:

In New Orleans they play jazz. Swamp country? Swamp Western? I think you mean cajun music.

No.

I mean Swamp Noise.

And Bo Roberts and his Metal Shop!! Bo played the Alternate Eruption I posted here over a year ago...such a shame I lost my pristine copy somewhere. All I have is a weak lower fidelity version. Too bad there isn't a musician or someone we could ask locally with some influence in Seattle who might be able to convince Steve or Bo to help us get a copy of that piece of music edward gave the station...

Right on brother. I think it is also safe to say that Canada is Dave country, especially since he has recorded in Toronto and had so much touring success as a solo artist there as well.

To bad that 95.1 the Fox plays the spamters music on a regular basis.

I have a dream that one day Hagar fans and Roth fans can live together in Harmony.....and until that day I'll keep on listening to Fair Warning!!!!

I never hear Hagar on the Radio anywhere I go.
It's dated music.
Classic VH is timeless.

Hotspots for Hagar Lovers: San Francisco and Key West Florida. The guy is their messiah.

[guwapo_rocker]

St. Louis too, I think.

Well it's obvious the Big Sheep Cunt stole Jimmy Buffett's beach bum persona and business franchise ideas ---- so I can see why Key West might have a liking for the tequila salesman dipshit.

[MJS_1973]

I don't think many Australians even know who Hagar is. They have never played any of his solo work on radio over here... NEVER! In 98 he had the nerve to tour here 1 week after VH toured and he got his people to hand out flyers as we exited the VH concerts... I have never seen so much litter in my life!
