My Tweet to Eddie Trunk

[POJO_Risin]

I don't think anyone REALLY thinks Hagar outsold Roth...except maybe Hagar...who has likely lied so much, he's forgotten it's a lie.

Of course...DOES ANYONE OTHER THAN US REALLY CARE???

And it's debatable we even care at this point.

Seriously...just put out a NEW album, so we don't have to rehash this bullshit...

[sadaist]

I think Sam takes credit for Roth era album sales during Van hagar era. As in he brought more & new fans into the VH fandom and they in turn purchased older albums.....all off the 'strength' of Van hagar.





delusional fuck

[sadaist]

perhaps from 1986-1996 more Hagar albums sold than Roth albums. Maybe that's the way he views it? Who fucking cares anyways. I want #7.

[POJO_Risin]

Oh No...when Bette states he sold more...make no mistakes...he really believes it...

perhaps his album shoulda been called, I can't COUNT to 55...

[twonabomber]

The only reason people think Sam outsold Dave is because the Sam albums all went to number one the first week they were out.

and that got easier in '91 when Soundscan took over the tracking of sales. seems like every major band would go #1 the first week then linger in the top ten for a month afterwards.

[Nitro Express]

Sam probably has seen more aliens than Dave.

[Heater]

How many albums did Dave sell outside of VH? didn't each one sell less than the one before it?

[Nickdfresh]

I'm pretty sure he had two Platinum albums and several minor hits, which is a good solo-career by any measure...

[twonabomber]

How many albums did Dave sell outside of VH? didn't each one sell less than the one before it?

you mean kind of like Sammy's records did after he left Van Halen?

there are no gold or platinum Hagar records after his split with VH.

[twonabomber]

i can expand on that.

DLR:

CFTH: Platinum
EEAS: Platinum
Skyscraper: Platinum
ALAE: Gold

Hagar solo before VH:

Standing Hampton: Platinum
Three Lock Box: Gold
VOA: Platinum

Hagar solo during VH:

I Never Said Goodbye: Gold
Unboxed: Gold

Hagar solo after VH

[crickets chirping]

so they're about even, throw out Unboxed because it only has two new tracks. Dave's VHS went at least Gold.

or we can put it this way:

Dave has put out seven discs since leaving VH, three of which haven't sold for shit.

Sammy has put out six discs since leaving VH, all of which haven't sold for shit.

[Hardrock69]

It is a no-brainer.

Spambot Flatulinius can't write anything more than the usual steaming piles of Gerber baby-food material.



His songwriting is what loser songwriters aspire to achieve.

[fletch]

totally annoying!! he's a true sammy lover...

My 2 cents: Eddie Trunkbutt is a moron. Someone kick him in the taint please!

Careful, you might not get your shoe back.

[ThrillsNSpills]

I'm glad Trunk got tweeted about the figures.

Twice as many albums is not a small margin.

Pretty sad that this kind of thing is perpetuated on a show about Rock music.
