VH1 Top 100 Hard Rock Bands

[DLR ROCKS123]

I was just watching vh1 top 100 hard rock bands..

Van Halen I mean the real van halen not van gaygar was at no:7.
They had differnt musicians talking about them henry rollins pantera and they were all makeing refrence to the greatest frontman ever ahhh don't get your hope's up gaygar fans. It was the one and only diamond david lee roth they were all talking how he had the charisma and how he brought it all toghter along with eddie's great guitar playing pass tense that is. Anyways I thought it was interesting they did have a couple of spoof's in there about gaygar. Pretty cool to see that they will go down as one of the best hard rock bands. and they will go down in history that the diamond was the REAL VAN HALEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


P.S Now if eddie and alex and bitch mike can pull there heads out of there ass and give dave the credit he deserves and bring the man back just maybe they can restore a bit of there legacy and finish on a positive note and not a gaygar note.

You know what. I bet they never fucking get together, then in
20 years time (if they are all alive) we will read how they all got together and reconciled their differences. Of course they will all be too
old to do anything about it. Such is the irony of this Rock and Roll
tradegy.

All I have to say in Long Live David Lee Roth.

I saw the same show BRO! Nice to see some BIG names in rock acknowledge the MIGHTY VAN HALEN as the REAL DEAL!


DAVE OR THE GRAVE BABY!!!

[=Marshall=]

Classic Van Halen belong right up there in the top three even! When Dave fronted they were THE number one band out there. World domination, baby! And drunk Eddie played mostly Marshall's not some 5150 noisy shit!

What bands they list above =VH= by the way? Don't tell me Nirvana or some other crap like that which they so many times do in these lists these days??

New to the forum btw, hi and all that.

Lets see Bro, from what I can remember...
1.) LED ZEPPELIN
2.) BLACK SABBATH
3.) JIMMI HENDRIX
4.) AC/DC
5. NIRVANNA
6.)?
7.) VAN HALEN

Nirvanna WAS above VAN HALEN. SACRELIGIOUS, but it was done to appeal to the gen-X crowd. Who were PROBABLY the people working on the SHOW!!!

That list looks alright other than that no-good bullet-in-the-head talentless prick and his sloppy mates at number 5.

And you are too right, these lists always try to appeal to a larger audience, hence bands like Nirvana up there. They reach alot of the younger audience. They just bullshit themselves!

[Don Corleone]

Nirvanna where an important band, that much cannot be denied. Like it or not, but Nevermind will be ranked next to Never Mind The Bollocks as one of the most significant albums to be released. However I wouldn't describe them as a Hard Rock band, no more than I would descibe Spam as a singer of any know talent.

amen

I'll give Nirvana only that they had some major impact on the rocking world. They were a contrast to the current rock music at the time, and pretty soon after that contrast became the mainstream. I didn't like that deal. Suddenly it 'wasn't allowed' to play guitar solo's, and in general all the fun in rock was gone..

They are not even hard rock, they are sloppy punk. They are not classic, and they do not belong up there on 5th between AC/DC and Van Halen.

This is only my opinion of course.

[Wayne L.]

The original Van Halen will always be the most important & most influential because they gave rock & roll a good kick in the ass when it needed it at the time. The VH1 Top 100 Hard Rock Bands Of All Time is just another WORTHLESS countdown show even though it was more accurate with Zeppelin & Sabbath at 1 & 2 with VH at 8 which is correct but Aerosmith at number 11 instead of in the top 10 is a travesty.

[AJW]

They deserve it to. They paved the way for all of those other 80's bands.

Nirvana has benefitted greatly from media hype, that's why they are there. I'm not sure about their overall infuluence, however. I'm sure that a lot more people picked up guitars and started bands because of VH than ever did because of Nirvana.

It's been said that very few people bought the first Velvet Underground album but every person who did started a band, and that's why they're so important. I think a similar thing can be said for the early VH albums.

[light 'em up!]

And see... deep down inside, Sammy knows it too! That's why he's always been so paranoid about Dave, cause Dave's always been the real deal... always will be. Fuck fatass Hagar and the Van Hienies.

I honestly believe that Kurt Go-Blamm would never be considered as highly as he is (by writers anyway, who seem to view him as a genious) had he not killed himself, thus greatly enhancing what ultimately is a very short legacy.

I also believe that it is relatively short sighted nostalgia rather than any coclusive evidence that Nirvanna rates so highly in poles...let's give it 10 more years or so, see if it holds up.
