I concur (is that a word? Sammy era is very rarely played here.

[diamond den™]

I only hear the REAL VAN HALEN on the radio

[Viking]

Mostly Dave. In Atlanta they use a strainer to seperate the meat from the cheese before they play it. :D

Yeah in Philadelphia maybe 1 out of 10 will be Van Hagar, and that's only on the general rock stations WMMR and WYSP. The two classic rock stations here (actually one of them is based in Trenton but also claims to be the Philadelphia market) never play Slapnuts.

BTW I still have never heard any solo DLR song on the radio here except for "Slam Dunk!" in April 1998. I also didn't hear one mention of "Diamond Dave", and I listen to the radio every day.

You guys aren't gonna believe this, but the fucking DJs of our only classic Rock station in Oklahoma are partial to Spammy. I know they don't choose the music, but the program director evidently is also a fan of Spammy. Which means we're "treated" to about a 50/50 mix in Oklahoma (which is blasphemy if you asked me, it should be 99.9 to .1, and only cause I like "Summer nights"...) Yeah, the fucks at KRXO talk about how big a dick Dave is, at every opportunity. And how they hope Spam and VH will reunite soon. It's part of the reason I may move east this summer...

[Dave IS VH]

In my area it's a mix of Dave and Sammy, but I think Dave gets played slightly more.

baltimore plays much more roth 98 Rock: plays dave songs a lot. Very rarely do I hear Hagar songs. The ones they have played of hagar have been top of the world, why can't this be love, and thats about it. I can honestly say i've never heard them play dreams. they have played a large variety of roth songs. Other stations play classic VH songs more than hagar songs hands down in my area and in NY

[Polk High]

hagar just doesn't stand the test of time

[rustoffa]

Good ol' 96 schlock here in tha ATL is too busy stirrin' up shit to worry about playin' either.:D

[Sarge]

I hardly ever hear Hagar on the Radio..
His songs don't stand the test of time.

[Figs]

Oh fuck you. Fuck the lot of you. Fuck you all.

[Switch84]

Rothlanta!

:D The classic rock station here in Atlanta (96Rock) plays mostly Roth era Van Halen with an occasional spammy song. That only happens when the resident Spam-head is dj-ing, the fucker! I've sent a flurry of emails to him about that shit.


Motor City DIVA indeed...LMAO

[bueno bob]

It's all Roth material on the radio here...infrequently they'll play Right Now or something, but NOT often...

[thepunisher]

Roth, I only lately heard the Van Hagar crap when they came to town.

[Nickdfresh]

In the classic rock laden Buffalo, NY/Toronto, ONT radio market, it used to be mostly Spammy. But the last couple of years or so, the pendulum has clearly swung back to the finest DLR era Van Halen.

In fact I was thinking about posting a thread on if, like me, anyone hears far more VH in general on the radio than they did 5 or 10 years ago? I hear DLR VH every single day and I don't really listen to radio that much.
