Sammy's 'Mature' Van Halen

[SoldMySoul4RnR]

The sheep on this site seem to continue to use the argument that Van Halen took on a more 'mature' and 'intelligent' songwriting direction when Hagar joined and that Roth only knew how to write about fucking and partying. Now...have you sheep listened to the Roth era Van Halen back catalogue at all. For a start, Van Halen were a party band period, but Roth was/is one hell of an intelligent guy (a lot more than Sammy could ever hope to be) and he showed just how mature and intelligent he could be in certain songs, without going all out on the cheese.

You want mature? How about 'Little Dreamer' on the first album. The subject matter to 'Light Up the Sky' is pretty dark. He could also write songs about love, 'In a Simple Rhyme' for fuck sake, does that make you wanna retch because of cheese overload? Hell no! It's a great fucking song with good lyrics. Same goes for 'Little Guitars' , I read that Roth got the inspiration for those lyrics from a poem. I could go on...

Tell me that I'm wrong sheep, go on! Roth wrote 'mature' songs a hell of a lot better than Spam did. I don't care how loyal you are to Gaybar, I do not at all believe that you could seriously think he is a good lyricist. Oh you say the 'Balance' album is mature? Gimmie a break, all Hagar does is say "Oh Lord" every five seconds on that album and you call it mature?

Anything Hagar ever did in Van Halen, Roth did better. I hope my point is clear.

Whats everyone else think?

Just those few lines got me, mate !!

Hagar is a Buffoon with shitty lyrics.
I have no idea how that equates to maturity ??

Is self promoting tequila more mature ??

Fuck knows what these throwbacks think ??

[vanzilla]

Poundcake?

Up For Breakfast?

Wham Bam Amsterdam?

Source of Infection?

Black and Blue?

Sucker In A 3 Piece?

Runaround?

Spank Line?


A 1st grader can write more mature lyrics with a crayon than Sam did on those tunes. Fuck, the dude writes lyrics to perhaps the most -overrated VH song (Right Now) and all of a sudden he's fucking Bob Dylan? Give me a fucking break yo.

Upon Reflection,

I guess having a geriatric fat frontman could give a Rock band a "mature" label....

[fryingdutchman]

Vanzilla nailed it with just a sampling of the "less than mature" compiled works of Van Hagar.

"Spanked", in addition to being just a horrible song on just about every conceivalbe level, is also one of the stupidest, immature outings they've ever had.

OK...sing along time....c'mon everybody!!

"Whoooooaaaaa....WHAM BAM...Mikey's fucking Sam!"
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
"Rails him like noone else can!"
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
"Hot damn! Mikey's fucking Sam"
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
"Now his cock smells just like Spam!"

Isn't Hagar supposed to be 60 pretty soon? Like this year or something?

[SoldMySoul4RnR]

How about a little.....

"Ooh, slip and slide, push it in - uh
A bitch sure got rhythm"

Man, the deepness of those Hagar lyrics makes me wanna break down and cry, it does.

C'mon, I wanna hear some sheeps opinions

<i>Samuel Roy Hagar (born October 13, 1947), better known as Sammy Hagar, is a U.S. rock guitarist, singer, and composer....</i>

Creeping Jesus! Sammy HAgar is old enough to be my dad!! Is that like 57 years old? That would have made him like 37 when he joined up with VH in the first place. Dayum!

Heh. Sammy is , like, old and stuff. Heh. Heh. Huh.Heh-huh.

Van Hagar is NOT a "more Mature" Van Halen. If anything, it is a reversion to the level of a 13-year-old's intellect.

Spammy's songwriting is just the sort of doo-doo the record labels love.

That alone speaks volumes about his abilities as a songwriter.

Meaning, he sucks record company ass, and it shows in his songwriting.

"van hagar". No relation to THE MIGHTY VAN HALEN.

Purely cosmetic association.

[Soul Reaper]

I bet Thorman the norman will come and stick up for his toy boy Gaygar.

Van Halen was more fun to listen to.

Frank Zappa had a lot of swear words and sex stuff in his songs, but so what, he was still fuckin' intelligent.

So don't any of you Van Gaygar fans give any of that bullshit about DLR being unintelligent because of his lyrics.

Sammy lyrics are less imaginative than a cardboard box.

The cardboard box is WAY more colorful, as well.

Does the cardboard box have a McDonald's Happy meal logo on the side?

You know Roth is on meds dont you!! He has it all, ADD, Bi-polar and possibly a bad case of depression going on..trust me on this one, there is a reason he acts the way he does...he is all frigged up in the head...
