And you want facts? Check the album sales of each of those that Spermmy is on. 5150 was high sales, and every album slipped after that. Album by album...down...down...down...5150 was living off the excited of a new singer, and thats why sales were high. Once everyone heard 5150, every other album by VH sucked donkey balls in sales, and for good reason.

that is the best youve got. pussy.

Thats funny, because I don't remember a VH album with DLR hitting #1. ever.

Itll outseel Van Hagar, how the fuck can you be so dumb? I dont get it? It never outsold Van Hagar jackass.

Because I see the return of Spammy being VH IV. And if it sells like VH III, Dave would definitely out sell them with the EEAS line up.

It's just a prediction, not based on past Van Hagar sales figures. I just don't see much excitement for the Van Hagar line up. But I do see alot of excitement at the prospect of Dave with Vai and Sheehan.

Let's face it, alot of people really wanted a Dave / VH reunion. When that didn't happen most people lost interest in Van Halen.

this is too funny, so I am missing the point that as the 80's turned into the '90s and grunge came in, Van Halen still goes #1, still sells at least 3-4 million with each outing, and dlrs album sales hit the most embarassing of #'s, but its cool, cuz he wanted to become the laughing stock of the music indusrty while van halen wins grammys?

dumb ass mother fuckers here.

Yeah, that is why Van Halen is the #3 most searched topic yahoo and google this week, go to the vhforums for the link.

The world has no interest in steve vai over eddie van halen, or dlr anymore, Cut your fucking mullet and join us in 2004. For christs sake. You are so fucking retarded with you predictions.

Check your facts retards. 1984 was the first album to spawn #1 hits. Was Sammy on that one LSD? Not too mention that 1984 went Diamond. Hey, I wonder why they called it Diamond?

[phildogger]

an EEAS reunion would outsell VH? LMAO! EEAS was an OK album, but it was no 5150! and no one gives a shit anymore! Can you really imagine MTV or E! News reporting on that? Get real! Billy Sheehan was 92 in 1986, and Steve Vai is Eddie-lite. and Greg (Mullet) Bissonette? Please. Get real. Dave was great once, but its OVER NOW!

[John Ashcroft]

Heh heh heh... Mullet went in '89, but thanks for your concern. Interesting that Mikey still sports one though...

No one ever said anything bad about Van Halen with Roth, youd be a moron to do that. The original lineup is classic and fucking rocks....this thread was about waht happened after they split, so doent go bringing in what roth did w/ Vh, becasue we know hd did great things with them, its post VH that he sucks donkey balls.

L.S.D, i like your style! And remember, unlike Dave, Sammy had a GREAT solo Career! I saw hiw solo many times, awesome stuff. I also saw Dave solo, and it was packed, but 7-11 doesn't hold that many people anyways.

No shit, they were kings of the scene, no one is denying that. But name one van halen fan that bought the hagar and not the roth years. I am a bigger fan of Van Hagar, but I still own all the roth albums, that is the case a with ton of people. Its your complete dismissal that van halen had a career after dlr, and still does, he doesntl.

7-11 wouldnt even book him now....Ill see at the arena this summer! Gadoosh!!!!!

hey pal, you just proved our point too. Sales of early VH dwindled after the first album, until 1984. and 7 million people bought that album for 'Jump'. Funny, but why didn't the 'Best of' sell more than Balance? Hmmm, 2 new Dave songs, and it couldnt outsell any Van Hagar album. Point/Counterpoint.
