Interesting from VH News desk..

i think he had alright solo gig going and a good boost with one or two hits. but that's still mediocre at best. Sammy didn't [I]make[I] Montrose. Montrose made him. Dave made Van Halen and made Van Halen work really fuckin' good. and he had a stellar solo career then eventual mediocre success. Now Dave is making Van Halen "work" again.

Sammy who?

It's not even the best song about 55.

It's a fucking novelty song by a clown.

Exactly. exactly!

Writer lost me with "Musically the band was stronger with Hagar"

... the writer actually said that? thanks for pointing that out. clearly shows the pro-hagar bias right there ...

... incidentally, the new banner at the top of the home page looks totally amazing!

Blaze that RedBone song is great. I remember listening to it as a kid on AM radio.

Not the way I took it, which was to mean "more prolific" with Hagar.

Thanks to the author but I'll go with quality over quantity when it comes to Van Halen Original Recipe.

I would respect this more if he said that Spambo had the edge because his tequila made him tons of money.

Afro-american, please! The guy who wrote that shut that was pasted up there is obviously a hack who can't write shit. His "comparisons" soon become wistful opinions of his deluded mind & have no connection to the real world.

He's an arsehole.

Cheers! :bottle:

... david lee roth vs. sammy hagar? complete CRAP ...

... it's wrong right from the first word, from the first letter, even the spaces between the letters are wrong. conceptually it's shit. what a STUPID IDEA for an article. the premise is SO WRONG. does not compute. crashes the system. server's down. power failure. complete blackout. david lee roth vs. WHO?

... with no david lee roth there wouldn't even be a fucking sammy hagar. what's with all this fucking pro-sammy bullshit? david lee roth is the greatest rock frontman of all time; sammy hagar's just the former the lead singer in a van halen cover band. dave is coca cola, sammy is just undrinkable piss-water. dave is a sumptuous burger king triple whopper loaded with extra cheese and pickles and a side of fries smothered in gravy, sammy is a SHIT BURGER trading off on the empire david lee roth built that we were ingloriously force-fed for ten years ...

Inspired use of the term "SHIT BURGER"!

RIP Lou Brown/James Gammon

[FORD]

I do not belive this so called CD will happen. Ed will throw a temper tantrum and fire david as he has in the past. So do not hold your breath.

Now why would you say that, Sockfucker?

[Seshmeister]

We have a sock fucker smilie?

Nuts...

... i apologize for this rude and emotional comment ...

... sammy hagar's contribution to the van halen legacy has been and is substantial, important and very worthwhile ...

[GreenBayLA]

Joe I wasn't offended until you went and said nice things about Hagar. Unless this is some joke or attempt at sarcasm I demand an apology!
