VELVET REVOLVER To Perform ROTH And HAGAR Tunes At ROCK HALL
You use the word "some" because Dave has hardly produced any new music. He is not a musician. He does not like creating music. His solo career is non existant. VH was able to successfully continue without Dave while DLR faded away. Dave hasn't made good music since ALAE and that was 16 years ago. He doesn't even play his solo songs when he tours. Give it up folks. If this reunion tour doesn't happen then Dave can go make another Backyard BBQ video.
Originally posted by Polk High Well since you're the one who is associating AIDs with a gay disease who is the real homophobe? I was mearly mocking the fact that comparing Queen (3 good songs tops) to a classic band like VH is ridiculous.
What!!??!! I'm talking about the band Queen whose lead singer died of AIDS and your comeback is about HIV. So how is that not being homophobic? How is that mocking me comparing Queen's legacy with VH? You obviously hate gay people to make such a slur.

Funny, I thought he had sang on albums or something...guess I'm at the wrong website...

Well, comparatively speaking, I'm MUCH happier with Dave's lesser output than I am with a plethora of Van Hagar bullshit that polluted the radio waves throughout the 80's and 90's, so that's entirely fine with me.

Guess you skipped "DLR Band" and the good parts of "Diamond Dave"...in related news, Hagar hasn't ever made good music, so I guess that gives David the advantage there.

Well, fuck, dude, somebody's got to play classic Van Halen songs live. Van Halen, as it were, sure as fuck wasn't it doing it, were they?

Yes Dave missed all the #1 albums from the 80's and 90's. I did not miss DLR Band or Diamond Dave. Those 2 CDs are unlistenable demo recordings but I guess when your favorite singer doesn't know how to make music you end up listening to whatever subpar bullshit he puts out. BTW how many copies of those 2 CDs did people buy? Not many because those CDs suck. Put those together with YFLM and you've got quite a shit sandwich. The Police are selling out stadiums and VH can't even get it together to show up at a party!!!

Oh, I don't know...I'd say he did pretty well with, let's see, "Women and Children First", "Fair Warning", "Diver Down", "1984", "Crazy from the Heat", "Eat 'em and Smile", "Skyscraper", and "A Little Ain't Enough". The sound changed considerably with "Your Filthy Little Mouth", of course...I'm really amazed that it didn't sell better with the RIDICULOUS amounts of publicity and promotion that Warner Bros. was putting into him at the time.
Still, based on the other albums, you know, I'd venture a guess that David's music career in the 80's and into the early 90's actually did pretty good business, but of course I'm no expert on such matters...

Stripped back on budget doesn't equal bad or unlistenable. The counterpart to that, I guess, is the overproduced, contrived and convoluted messes that "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge", "Live: Right Here Right Now" and "Balance" were. Personally, I prefer a REAL approach to recording, but what do I know...

How's Hagar doing these days?

Well, let's see. "DLR Band" came out on his own label, and basically every copy of that was put together by his hands, when you get right down to it. Very limited release, very difficult to find even after it came out. So...yeah, I guess by way of plain and simply logic it wasn't going to sell particularly well, although when you add the numbers up comparatively against bands who release independently, "DLR Band" performed fairly well.
"Diamond Dave" sold about as much as any other artist on the Magna Carta label does, a bit better if memory serves. Which is really trange, when you stop to consider how much effort Magna Carta puts into promotion and distribution of their product, you know? Christ, WEA and Sony combined have NOTHING on Magna Carta in regards to resources! Magna Carta being THE biggest label on the planet, you gotta figure that "Diamond Dave" shoulda sold more, I guess...

Good for The Police!
Oh, don't fret about the precious RNRHOF - Mike and Sammy will be onhand, and I'm sure they'll have some sort of call-in number so you can restock on your supply of Capri shorts, tequila, hot sauce, sandals, official Cabo Brand Merchandise, and whatever the fuck else they'll be hawking...and you know, lets face it, when it comes to Van Halen being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, who BETTER to be there than Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony?
Originally posted by General Hina Nice language. I guess your avatar child will grow up to be homophobic and racist like his dad.

you are talking about the way your father raised you, don't you?
but "father" is a relative thing for you, I guess...which one of all the hundreds of racist rednecks who nailed that useless bitch you call "mummy" in your trailer is it?

And calling people pasadena dummy is a mature comeback. Dude you need to quit jacking off to sammy videos. At least go out to cabo im sure there are some sheep out there to help you out with your little problem. It will help with your blistered hands.
Originally posted by General Hina You obviously know nothing about the music of Queen. And I will take a singer over a front man any day. Singers make music. Frontmen shake whiskey bottles filled with iced tea onto teenaged girls.
Over & Out,
General Hina
And gay lead singers spray their man juice all over other men....
Hina, I'm curious, If you discredit and claim that VH is not worthy of their induction into the "Hall Of Fame", most of the 6 pick is filler, 95% of DLR fans are white trash ... etc etc ...
Why do even bother to waste your calories with your presence on this David Lee Roth message board ?

Because, dammit, Sammy Hagar and The Police mean that much to him...
