Every Classic VH fan has owned a Van Hagar Album!

[madraoul]

YA HOZNA!!! I'm sitting here all smug knowing my collection is 100% Hagarita free when my wife tells me to check the vinyl. Sure enough, there sits the cover with David Hasselhoff holding up the giant egg that just spewed from Eddie's fallopian tubes. I'm really not sure how it got there because I cannot honestly remember buying it. Anyway, the lyrics are a fucking blast to read if you get the chance. As for this particular piece of 80's parachute pants goodness...HELLO EBAAAAAAAY!

Never ever owned a Van Hagar album other than the tracks from BOV1.......and I STILL hate the fact that those tracks are in my home.

[Warham]

I can't even listen to BOV1 anymore, just because the CD is contaminated with too many of those Hagar tracks.

[tydhurst]

I never did, i was well aware of Hagar's shitness when i first started liking Van Halen. Me and my friends go into the music shops, pick up 5150 and laugh!

Just jackin with ya!!!

This whole thread sounds like recovery testimonial for AA... although to be perfectly frank... I suspect 80% of y'all grew up during Van Hagar and were too young for Roth... now you're in here making amends for your past discretions.

Just be real men or women if you must, but admit you liked Van Hagar at the time and grew up to appreciate Dave, but find it cool to talk tough on a Dave site...

LMFAO! You speak the truth my friend!

My next thread should be " How many people dont have a Van Hagar album but went and saw them live anyways?":D

I went to the Monsters of Rock show at JFK Stadium back home in Philly and left during the second song of Van Hagar's set.

Later that evening some friends and I were walking around South Street when we saw Michael Anthony getting into a parked limo. We ran over shouting his name. When he looked right at me I screamed "bring back Dave, Sammy sucks" and he just stared like a tubby deer so I screamed it again before he jumped into the car.

Mezro..and that my friends is how you communicate with Fatty

I did own 5150, OU812, and F.U.C.K. Never bought BALANCE, or VH3.

My girlfriend at the time forced me to listen to the love stuff. I did buy 5150 out of sheer curiousity, but OU812 was her copy. F.U.C.K. I got because a friend of mine said that Eddie played heavy stuff on it like FAIR WARNING - type stuff. I bought it and listened to it. The only songs I half-way liked was "Pleasure Dome" and "Judgment Day", but it was still sub-par and waaaayyyy NOT LIKE "FAIR WARNING".

Now I own ZERO Van Hagar albums, although my wife owns 5150 still. (She hardly ever plays it). She's a Bon Jovi freak.

Yeah right.

[Bill Lumbergh]

Yeah right what? He admitted buying a couple of the albums! What you thnk he's really saying "ACtually I worship Sammy, I'm just trying to look cool to all the Roth diehards" WHy would he give a fuck? I'm proud to say I've NEVER owned a Spam album and NEVER FUCKING WILL. If some of the other Army members have, I'm not gonna disparage them for that.

[Bob_R]

If I want your opinion I'll beat it out of you.

Am I getting funnier yet?

At one point or another every fucking body on this site has owned or still owns a Van Hagar CD. As if nobody ever bought 5150 when it came out or was first intruduced to Van Halen while Sammy was the singer...

Well OK yeah, I bought 5150 on record but, I've bought toilet paper before, I still own toilet paper.....and yes, Spammy's still the singer.

But no, I do NOT have any Van Hagar on CD, except for the BOV2.

I saw van hager in New Heaven Ct. Live w/out a Net. It was cool, in the bathroom people were arguing about shithead or Roth, and it was like that in the arena. When shithead kept sayin shit about Roth or picked up a banner that said Roth sucked, that was it for me. I never saw them again and I never bought anything van hager. they did 2 shows in New Heaven, it was the second show they used. eddies guitar was fucked up on the first night, thats when I went

Can't speak for everyone else, but I was fortunate enough to see the real deal live as far as Van Halen goes back in 1984.

Bought 5150. Vocals and lyrics aside, didn't care for the change in Ed's tone, the electronic drums, the production sound, the redundancy of the guitar solos and the material on an instrumental basis.

Bout the only thing I liked on the album was the title track for Ed's guitar work.

Add some of the most insipid, cliched lyrics and Sammy's voice, which I was never a fan of even before he joined up with Ed, and 5150 didn't add up to much.

Eat 'Em and Smile blew 5150 off the fucking map, regardless of how much it sold.
