Roth Purist

:D More welcome than 99.9% baby!!!

I love CVH and Dave's solo stuff. I like it more than Van Hagar and what little of Sammy's solo stuff I've heard (two CDs). I don't mind Sammy solo, though, and I do like Van Hagar. Van Cherone, too, for that matter... I love VH3. I'd take CVH over any other VH era, yes, but the original reason I was into VH was EVH. I'm a guitarist, ya see. I eventually grew to dig the hell out of Dave, but I'll always have an interest in EVH's playing. And, truth be told, I don't hate Sammy at all. I'm pretty critical of him, but I like a lot of his work with VH. It was nowhere near as good as Dave's work, but I do like a lot of it.

Liking Van Hagar doesn't mean you have to like CVH any less, IMO. If I had to choose between CVH and Van Hagar, it'd be CVH. Same goes for Dave solo over Van Hagar or Hagar solo, I guess.

Maybe I'm not a Dave "purist," but I am a Dave fan. I prefer him to Sammy and Van Hagar. Surely there's nothing wrong with that. :D

i first heard the mighty van halen when i was 10 (1996), i found a copy of 1984 in my moms cd collection and asked her about it, and she said "one of the greatest bands of all time"...

being so young, i experimented with both sides (not knowing the consequences) until about two years ago (when i was 16), when i realized which way i leaned in this epic struggle...

to this day i have never touched vd3, nor will i...

hagar only got cash out of me twice. once for the sans halen tour, and once when the sisters reunited with him for the cash grab (i wanted to see eddie play so bad, i didn't care who the fuck sang at that point, being a guitarist, i wanted to see the legend himself)...

also being at this place of intervention has shown me the true path...

but alas, during my experimental years, i got my current girlfriend (and soon to be fiancee) onto van hagar, she prefers them over dave. i still love her despite this terrible flaw however...

i figured i better pay the diamond one his respects and i actually bought vh1 through dd (i burned all those albums at first) and then i haven't regretted making those purchases (more importantly my pro dave decision) ever since...

I consider myself a VH purist.

Saw VH 3 times.

Saw Van Hagar once. Monster of Rock. Look at that bill and tell me you wouldn't go!

After seeing them with spammy. It was over. VH ceased to exsist. DLR kept it real and to this day still keeps it real. I hope Ed sees the error and corrects it before he dies.

Just one last time together...even if I can't see it live...I know it would be on dvd. I just want to see that "I can't believe they're leaving us alone in the candystore" look again. The happiness in their eyes at what they're doing and the crowd showering them with praise and them feeding off of it.

If seeing Van Hagar on the Monsters of Rock bounces me from being a Roth/VH purist then whatever...still saw Metallica, Kingdom Come and a slew of other bands that day. I watched VH wither and die too.

I been to the edge, an' there I stood an' looked down
You know I lost a lot of friends there baby, I got no time to mess around

Since when have you been a purist of anything WARF for more than 5 minute stints??

VAN HAGAR has gotten a few bucks out of me, but not for nearly 15 years or so (I actually bought F.U.C.K. [it all anyway]) was the last piece of shit I bought.

Because I went to a VAN HAGAR concert, I can tell SHEEP that Sammy sucked live and his performance was reminiscent of someone that OD'd on proszac.

Something SHEEP like to point out is that "I've seen Roth, but you've never seen Hagar live, so your opinion means shit..."

Well I've seen both! And I can call their lies as Van Hagar sucked hard, but there was something comical and otherworldly about the gleaming fagfest, cuntastrophy burning out my eyes!

I cuntsider myself a purest whether you like it or not. I work with kids, and I always tell them to stay away from gay uncle HAGAR and get the classic six-pack!

...and I sayyyyyyyyyyy, ROTH ON!!

Guess I'd fit in to what Nick has said here...

I admire your bravery!! Most people on this site will destroy anyone

who deviates from the majority!!

I know someone who saw Van Cherone for free. Is that as bad, worse, or better than spending money on Van Hagar in terms of street cred. etc..

Does God punish for this offense?

I'm a mod, and could a shit less about my ranking or anything else.

If your a loyal DLR fan... your fucking gold in my book....

If you like Hagar... you are shit...

Plain and simple!

HAHAHAHA! What an idiot!

[superdave]

I think this was a stupid thread to start--I bought some of the early Van Hagar crap, am not proud of it, but you move on--but I will say that I am one of Dave's biggest supporters

that's something smart to say about yourself...

cunt...

[vanzilla]

Damaco - are you starting shit again?

If you ever want to make it to the PEN - you've got to clean up THE BATH HOUSE. It's been closed for more than an hour now and Rikk's glory hole still isn't mopped up.

C'mon son. I thought we could count on you?

Yes, I agree. Thank you.

Wella Wella..

Looks like I qualify for a Roth Purist then..
In fact, both 5150 and BOV1 were given to me
as gifts. (By well meaning people) I skipped every
Hagar track on BOV1, in fact I only ever put it
in now to listen to the two new Van Halen tracks.

Ive never spent a single cent on Sammy.
That makes me proud. :D

Well let me rephrase that...

Some of you might have bought 5150, hoping it would be a Van Halen record... maybe your allowed one mistake... but that's it...

I don't that you could label yourself as a real classic Van Halen purist... if you own a Van Hagar album... or still listen to them sporatically.... pretending your a BIG MACHO dlr fan on the internet!

Had it, realised what a piece of crap it was and took it to the used cd store and got rid of it and haven't bought any Van Hagar crap since DAVE OR THE GRAVE!!!
