I dont care what all you homophobes say, Extreme was fucking killer in their day...
(did I mention that I managed a record store in Medford, Mass...down the road from Malden...where Gary used to work?)...(I managed the store 5 years ago...Gary worked there in the early 80's)
I know...nobody fucking cares...
Maybe this is what a heroine addict feels like after getting a long awaited fix, shooting up in the corner of some abandoned building and just not giving a fuck about what the rest of the world thinks...TATTOO"

Who the hell cares about the 80's rock band Extreme or Gary Cherone anyway since he is already forgotten as far as I'm concerned in VH history while VH3 is just a forgotten memory even though it's a great rock album if you're not expecting WACF or 1984.
I know that this is not a popular thought, but I still feel that Cherone was Van Halen's 2nd best vocalist. I was a big fan of Extreme (like DLR was on his ALAE tour), and I still firmly believe that Cherone can kick Hagar's fat ass any day, in any way, shape or form. Cherone has him beat as a singer AND as a performer. Too many people rag on Cherone/Extreme because of More Than Words, but not many people remember the shredding that Extreme's first album put out. Extreme's first two albums are among my top CDs of all time, but let me make it abundantly clear that there's NO ONE that fills DLR's Sensible Shoes like The Full Bug himself.
Oh, and VHIII may not have compared to anything that the VH Bros. put out ever before, but it was uncomparably better than anything and everything ever put out by VH during the Hagar era. At least Cherone played with heart, not his d*** like Sammy did. Gary loved Classic VH much more than Van Hagar. Cherone was humbled to join VH, and let's not forget the infamous tshirt that Sammy wore on the 5150 tour that said 'Dave who?'.

The only problem bro...is that Cherone wouldn't want to kick Sam's fat ass...he'd want to do it...
"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."
Cherone a better singer than Spammy, you know I couldn't run to that, no matter how little I think of Spam! His lame Freddie Mercury impersonations on stage were just laughable, and by his covering of songs and "performance styles" of other better artists shows him up to be the hack by the numbers frontman he always was
BTW Great to have the Roth Army forums back again. Nothing like a return of the best!
