It probably wouldn't have even been called "Van Halen".

Hell, they might not have made it past the band name quandry.

Yeah, ever hear of MONTROSE? Congratulations, you're one of two-dozen lucky people who did!

That's what SPAM does, gives a band one decent outing, then they shit themselves with reckless abandon. Giving a band to SAMUEL HAGAR is like giving JANICE JOPLIN a case of JIMMY BEAM, it just reeks of implosiveness and bad judgement...

LOL. That 5150 walk is gayer than a John Waters film festival. I've always thought GENESIS were making fun of that shit with their I CAN'T DANCE walk.

Well, that's still not as gay as "Love Walks In".

then it would'nt get signed

What if the first Atomic Bomb accidentally went off in Nevada?!?

What if Hitler hadn't gone into Russia?

What if the BLACK PLAGUE had been stopped?


Is all this really necessary?!?

The obvious answer to the first question:"What if Hagar was the First Singer?" IT WOULD HAVE SUCKED.

good one Matt!!:D

Didn't those lyrics belong to a song that is consider a rock and roll anthem? Sammy writes not only one anthem, but he has writted two songs of them that are anthems. They are, "I Can't Drive 55" and "One Way To Rock." The Army always said that they always play CVH on the radio. I bet you that while the DLR Era songs are being played, somewhere there is "I Can't Drive 55" or "One Way To Rock."

And those two songs are two staples forever itched in rock music history. And remember those are Sammy songs before VH. The VH classics record with Sammy are all the songs from 5150, "When It's Love", "Feel So Good", "Finish What You Started", "Black and Blue", "Poundcake", Runaround", "Right Now", "Standing On Top Of the World", "Seventh Seal", "I Can't Stop Loving You", and I could go on and on...

What we understanding does not to be discuss.


"...I can't drive 55!"

Man, you must a total fag!!!!! I Can't Drive 55 a classic? Classic shit maybe! It's a joke of a song- and the major reason that Dave fans hate it so much is that Spammy constantly talks about how he has such deep fucking lyrics, and that's why he couldn't lower himself to sing the Dave-era songs (of course, until the latest reunion, where the cash-strapped Sammy all of a sudden COULD sign them)...and then we look at his "classic" lyrics and they are a fucking joke. Bea Fucking Arthur rocks harder than Spammy!!!!!!

[DavidLeeNatra]

easy question...

everything would be the same...

dave would have become the biggest rock frontman ever with some other good guys...

ed would be an alcoholic crybaby with some less money...talking about this high school band he had and what big mistake he made not to hire that fantastic guy who rented them their PA and became famous instead of that poodle haired asshole...same with his sister alexis, who is working at the gas station...

the bass player would be the nice guy washing your car while you are doing the shopping in the wal mart...saying "yes sir"

and sam...well...sam would be what he is...some big mouthed asshole serving drinks in a shitty bar doing karaoke...

they all got it with some more money and should thank the diamond one each and every day for that...

Okay. The thing with Sammy's lyrics is that he could write hard rock party music but the the same time he could write deep thought provoked lyrics. Not all his lyrics are deep because sometimes you just want to rocking out. Sammy in VH had a wide range of styles and a lot of varities. You are just concentrate on some of his simple lyric writings and not his song that have deep insighting thoughts.

Along with his good time party lyrics. There are also songs that tackle onto seriousness issues. Listen to "Seventh Seal", "Don't Tell Me (What Love Can Do)", "Right Now", "Mine All Mine", "Judgement Day", etc. That is why Sammy era VH has BALANCE. You could have every piece of the pie and have your cakes and eat it too. You want to bang your heads, listen to "After Shock." If you are in a more calm mood, you can put on "Feels So Good" or not "Enough.

The Bottom of the line is that what Sammy wrote when he service with VH is covering the whole of the spectrum and is not just one dimensional. Sammy Lyrics = Versatile.

And it's going to deep, deep, deep, and it's out of here! Tommy Vu has hit another grand slams!!!

LMMFAO!!!!

THEY WENT FROM:
"Takers neer a giver, this much you understand,
all I wanna give you babe, is the best part of a man"
TO:
"Bitch sure got rhythm, slip and slide, push it in"

THEY WENT FROM:
"You think you got the interest? C'mon and take the time,
I'm gonna be yours in a simple rhyme"
TO:
"Hey it feels so good, and it feels so nice"

THEY WENT FROM:
"Yeah, we're all fast breakers comin' outta the gates
Takin' chances. We're the crash n' burn
Yeah, there is a way with beauty but you never gave a love
Cross the line where none return"
TO:
"I know you believe in me
That's all I ever need. Uh-huh
No no, nothin's gonna stop it
Nothin' will discourage me. Oh, no
Hey baby, uh-it's the only way out
Oh, little darlin', now come on
What's it all about?"

There is not one lyric that Sammy has written that is better than one written by Dave. I'm not saying that Dave was a lyrical genious, I'm just saying that Sammy wrote meat-head lyrics, I mean c'mon, my twelve-year old cousin made fun of the lyrics to "Why can't this be love" claiming that they "don't make sense".

I honestly don't think Dave has written a lyric that begs to be made fun of.

"IF"...2 letters that change the entire epicenter of the globe! If a frog had wings it wouldn't bump its ass when it hopped. If your dad didn't hop your mom at THAT point in time you wouldn't be here. Now you want us to "if" our way into the train wreck called Van Halen? More like...What IF EdWad wasn't an alcoholic? What IF Alice wasn't jealous of Dave and let him record his ep and come back into the fold after getting it out of his system? What IF Hagar drove 56 mph into a volcano? IF. IF, IF.....

STFU!

DAVE OR THE GRAVE MUTHAFUCKAS!

OK just to get it out of the way, we can all agree that I love to fuck men, right. Ok good to see everyone agrees on this. My question to you is: WOULD I GUZZLE MORE CUM IF I SUCKED DICK TO "I CAN'T DRIVE 55" OR "TWO SIDES OF LOVE"? (although we already know I SUCK COCK TO EVERY SAM SONG ON ALBUM).

I WONDER WHO FUCKED MY ASS FIRST? I believe it was my Dad...of course, it might have been my Uncle, because his dick is bigger than my Dads, and that son of a bitch just RIPPED my asshole asunder. Thoughts...

I think you've got serious fucking issues, child.

SERIOUS fucking issues.

Oh God...don't mention his name, he just fucking...HEARS it and responds somehow...he's like some kinda demon beast God thing in an HP Lovecraft novel, you can't speak it's name or it'll hear, show up and kill you...

Except in Three Lock's case, he'll just fucking annoy you to the point where you're ready to kill yourself...
