Panamark makes some great points. And the real tale of the tape is this... Sammy HAD to play SOME songs from the six pack... Diamond Dave will NEVER have to sing songs from Van Hagar. Van Gaylen played more six pack songs than Van Hagar songs on tour by at least a 2:1 margin. Audience response was much more enthusiastic to Unchained, SGMD, etc. than When It's Love or Why Can't This Be Love or Right Now. So, the people have spoken and I think Sammy should shut his big fat yapper and only use terms of respect and admiration if referring to the MIGHTY Van Halen.
PS: Sheep, if you think they won't play Van Hagar because Diamond Dave can't sing it, think again... they ain't playing it because no one is going to miss it. They'll sell out without those songs. Sammy would not have lasted as long as he did or sold as well as he did if Van Halen had completely separated from the six pack era. Your boy was propped up by the guy you claim to hate. Ironic, isn't it? May I say, it's ironic in a David Lee Roth kind of way.
