    Damn is that an understatement!

    You have to wonder if Ed was sober enough to even notice that his lead singer was "prancing" on stage.

        Did Ed ever look at Spammy trying to jump and Cherone fingering his asshole ? I think he was oblivious (and still is) to the whole shitfight.

                  The damage is done... I say Hagar. He's written MORE lame shit in his tenure as VH singer than ANY other singer in the history of music. Cherone can't be blamed for what went down, because let's face it, Ed calls up Gary and says he'll get $$$ for singing on the VH album and tour... Hell, I'D DO IT!! Anyway, Gary just wanted to rock out with his idols, Hagar seems to want to prove that he can't write a song, or sing it well either, then whine and complain about how he isn't doing ANY old tunes, so he makes Mikey sing it... Fuckin' PATHETIC!!! That's like getting David Coverdale to replace Robert Plant, EXCEPT Coverdale was THRILLED to sing Zep tunes, and generally had a good attitude about it... Fuckin' Sammy should quit his fuckin' whining and just fuck off already!! He's ruined it enough for everyone.

                    Well, I gotta say, that by the time I got down here to the end of the postings, I changed my mind. I originally thought Cherone was the worst thing to ever happen to Van Halen. However, my vote now goes to Sam, and my originally wanting to choose Cherone proves it.
                    Here's why:
                    After years of Hagar, which I just couldn't fucking stand and was part of the reason I felt like fans had to choose one side or the other (Dave or VH), I could not fucking believe that these guys would go with yet another vocalist other than DLR. I was a fan of Extreme, and was sad to see that band broken up. I could possibly have been at least curious about a Van Halen with Cherone, but after Hagar, I just figured the VH boys had simply recruited another Dave hater and I would hear the same bullshit slams on Dave. This was strengthened when I heard Fire In The Hole on the radio, and it sounded a lot like Hagar. Any curiosity I did have did not survive that first listen. In other words, in my mind Cherone was a Hagar clone, and I can't listen to VH with Hagar at the helm.
                    So in conclusion, after reading what I have here that Cherone was a Dave-era fan, and paid homage to him (live at least) I'm thinking he's not the jackass I pictured. And that jackass was Sammy Hagar who was so bad he made me hate anyone that would ever sing for Van Halen other than David Lee Roth. And that's why Sam gets my vote.

                      Like others have said, Sam started and now is continuing the nosedive. Gary was similar to Dave in 96 in that he was screwed and never told the truth. (unwitting participant in the fiasco) Gary was too nice and unfortunatley let Ed run the show w/o any input. Ed's alcohol soaked brain wanted a carbon copy of Spam and as a result Gary forced his voice all over the place and out of key/tune. It didn't help that Gary had throat/vocal box surgery about a year/less than a year before he joined VH. According to interviews w/ Gary, he split on amicable terms but the reality is that Ed was as high as a kite allday and had mentally lost it and Gary couldn't work in that uncreative atmosphere. Ed's new aproach to recording from the recent Guitar Mag shows he has no clue how to record or engineer. That's why the sound is so lame. Let the pros do their job, pour you alcohol and drungs down the drain and play guitar, get Dave back, and all will be well. If Al has a problem have Dave kick him in the nutsack or replace him. Mike, shut the fuck up and play bass. End of story.

                        This is exactly what I was thinking. Neither singer damaged VH more than EVH. He is the sole reason the music changed.

                            Sammy Hagar.

                            These are similar lyrics that Sam would write.
                            (this is from Air Supply. The one that you love)

                            Read closely you will see the similarities.

                            Don’t say the mornings come
                            Don’t say the mornings come so soon...
                            Must we end this way
                            When so much here is hard to lose...
                            Love is everywhere
                            I know it is
                            Such moments as this
                            Are too few
                            Oh...
                            It’s all up to you
                            It’s all up to you...
                            Here I am
                            The one that you love
                            Askin’ for another day
                            Understand the one that you love
                            Loves you in so many ways

                              It was Spammy......no wait, maybe SpEddie was more responsible....or, the blame should fall on their drummer Shemp, he's so jealous of Dave...Aw fuck 'em! All of those pickel sniffers in Van Hagar suck ASS!!! But no matter how far they fall, no matter how much they suck, Van Hagar can never blemish the legacy of THE MIGHTY VAN HALEN! Be thankful that DAVID LEE ROTH IS VAN HALEN! 'cause the others have made a career 'outta constanly dropping the ball!

                                Hagar for turning it into a pop band.
