Sammy slams Dave again

[Diamondjimi]

But having said all that, Brian Young is no Edward Van Halen....

True dat!

Brian's tone sounds like he has horse blankets over his cabinets.....jmo...

[TongueNGroove]

One thing you all seem to forget is the fact that without Van Hangar the CVH album sales would NOT be what they are today.

LOT's of younger people, after hearing the sammy stuff, went and bought the old stuff as well. I know I did.

So yah, not only did Sammy out sell DLR, he actualy helped DLR sell more records.


AS far as the rest of the interview, I agree with Sam 100%. As much as I love DLR, he really is a total egotistical prick and you know it.

[TongueNGroove]

This is what Sam said about DLR and the RRHF thing.....do you think Dave would say the same?

"My only disappointment for the whole thing was that Eddie and Alex didn't come, Dave (Lee Roth) deserved to be there too, so I was hoping one time we could all be grownups and move on and forget our differences."

No he wouldn't.

Whatever. You know how many people QUIT buying Van Halen albums after Roth was out? More than a few. And each year, that number grew higher and higher, considering every album since 1986 has sold less than the one that came before it.

Try again. But try and give something accurate, not just objectified opinions.

So yah, not only did Sammy out sell DLR, he actualy helped DLR sell more records.

In no logical, concrete way does that hold any fucking water at all.

Not a bit.

"Hagar outsold DLR"...lmao...why don't you go to the RIAA and see who's REALLY done better over the years?

Oh, but please, instead of doing that, why don't you use some more wraparound logic to praise Hagar for helping Dave sell albums...Jesus fucking Christ...

AS far as the rest of the interview, I agree with Sam 100%. As much as I love DLR, he really is a total egotistical prick and you know it.

Oh yeah, and Sammy's just the paragon of self depreciation...get the fuck out of here before I actually throw your gay ass back in the Pen or something...

Of course. Sam's always a generous, stand up guy. Well, after the fact, anyway. Would you like me to pull up some of the things he said PRIOR to the induction?

[Nickdfresh]

Yeah, because after hearing Van Hagar, people yearned for the superior version...

Actually, that's complete crap and reaching on your part. The reason is that people, suckers like me, have bought the original six catalog two, three, even four times for some albums...

I have the vinyl for VHII, I bought the cassette, then the CD, and then finally I got the remasterbator...

It had nothing to do with Sam whatsoever...

Actually, Van Hagar wouldn't have sold shit if it weren't for Dave fronting that band, and the sales of 5150 (their biggest Van Hagar sales-wise at 6 million) was a direct correlation to the band making it into the mainstream with 1984 (over 12 million sold!)...

LOT's of younger people, after hearing the sammy stuff, went and bought the old stuff as well. I know I did.

But yet they were buying less and less of Van Hagar, strange...

So yah, not only did Sammy out sell DLR, he actualy helped DLR sell more records.

So explain to me again how any album with Sam' vocals on it only sold half or less the highest number of sales in the Van Halen's catalog with two "diamond" status (VHI, 1984)? If anything, Van Hagar lost fans as people lost interest and the demographic you speak of simply doesn't exist as interest began to plummet...

AS far as the rest of the interview, I agree with Sam 100%. As much as I love DLR, he really is a total egotistical prick and you know it.

Of course he is. But so is Sam. He's also reported to be a total asshole on occasion and a total phony-baloney cockbag when he says shit like this. In fact, I've talked to someone connected to the local concert industry that met both - and she said Dave was much cooler back stage and that Sam was a total douche when she met him...

Is Sam such the better humans being than Dave? Isn't Sam the guy who writes the lovey I w'eally wuv' you songs, then ditches his first wife (Betsy?) for a younger model trophy skank?

Delusion much?

Do your homework,Sparkie!

[halenrox1]

I got a big bold "eh?"

That maybe true, but why did Sam have to continually flap his mouth and slam Dave? He's been doing this for years now, and it's a sign of the fact that he KNOWS he wasn't the best man to film Dave's shoes.

On top of that, Sam couldn't write lyrics to save his life - the reason most of the post 1984 material was so much weaker was as much to do with his love of turgid ballads as it does Ed's increasing love of synths.

[78/84 guy]

I really can't sit here and say I hate Hagar I went out and bought 5150 the day it came out and still like to listen to it sometimes (mostly because Ed is great on it) but Sam really say's stupid shit. One day he say's somthing one way and 2 months later it's a different story. Now it's Satriani's the best ever !!! Whatever, I fucking love Satch but he is really just another Eddie Van Halen understudy. I would put him in my top 20 but better than Ed ,Page or Hendrix is a laugh !!
