Is there one Van Hagar song that can stand up against a Van HALEN classic ??

[POJO_Risin]

EEAS was a great album...yeah...it had attitude...it wasn't Classic VH...but certainly stands out on it's own...

but the fact of the matter is that it has nothing to do with Classic vs. Crystal...

[guitarslinger]

that's for sure

Sting was cool with the Police. Sting solo sucks.

Van Hagar is like Sting solo. IT JUST SUCKS.:D

[PHOENIX]

:D

Balance went to #1?

I can't even remember a song off of it.

That is funny as hell Pete.

I can't even think of 1 2

"Dreams" sound like one of those cheesy, 80's movie, "Top Gun" songs by a band you can't name.

I heard a boot of that tour. Sounds like there playing small places.

The closing songs:
ATBL
When It's Love
You really got me
JUMP

no lie
no insult intended

Though I fucking hate 'em

Balance is about as memorable as my own birth.

[guitarslinger]

hell i dont even remeber what the fuckin single was!

[pete]

I didn't even listen to the boot. I just looked at the song list. LOL

the whole 2nd set was 60% classic, mighty VH

Pat Benatar has more credibility than VAN HAGAR.

GOD-Damn

And that's an excellent comparison, because Sting solo is all about "easy listening" ballads. Just like Van Hagar was about sellout love songs. And notice how both bands fell apart when one person decided that selling out was more important than making kick-ass music. Meaning Eddie with his synthesizer foray starting on 1984 and Sting with his wuss ballads starting on Synchronicity (actually with the last two songs on Ghost in the Machine.)

I think there's another comparison that can be made: Aerosmith on drugs versus Aerosmith off drugs. Aerosmith on drugs was really kick-ass, heavy shit. Aerosmith off drugs is sellout ballads and hiring songwriters from Sweden to help out.

Van Hagar Song

I'll say this...

The tune FINISH WHAT YA STARTED with DLR on vocals would be an AMAZING track.

Dave's bluesy voice would be KILLER on that track!

Yuk. Anything after 5150 I stopped imagining Dave singing any of those songs. He was suited to sing a few off of 5150, partially because he co wrote and laid down a few tracks prior to "quitting". Summer Nights was one of those songs, and I believe Good Enough was the other. Correct me if Im wrong.

I loved seeing Dave on the sapranos tonight too BTW. Looked and sounded very cool and comfortable. He's got a few more episodes to go too.

I've seen quite a few Roth fanatics claiming that Humans Being is the "only Hagar song that rocks and has great guitar". I disagree completely.

Very boring guitar part. Rudimentary, beginners-first- time chords, played in an extremely uninspired manner. You can almost hear Eddie saying, "Yeah, everybody's played this before, but when I do it, it just sounds so special..."
