Why are there so many Dave haters and Van Halen haters?

Listen nobody likes to see anyone having more fun than they are....it's the way of the world. Misery loves company and Dave has always held his own. It's because he is so unique and no other human being can even touch his brain with a ten foot pole is most likely the reason for all of the hate.....I don't even think it is necessarily hate, I think it's more frustration. Yea, frustrated that they can't be him even on a bad day. Yea his body is that of a God, where most rock stars a skinny whimps, but for me it has always been the personality. He is so creative and super intelligent and the words he uses I have never even heard of. Of course a young girl can't help but to want to squeeze his butt or go around the corner in those spandex pants, who wouldn't. He was the ultimate male Chippendale slash rock star COME ON! But he is so special when he talks and giggles that it just always made me giggle and laugh as if I was the one talking to him. I have always been a naturally happy person, high on life so to speak, and the happy drunk or the life of the party. Not too many people have that effect on people and it's the jealous ones that will always have something to say just to make themselves feel better. It's happened to me on the job and in life to the point where you just have to become somewhat entertained by it.....then go home let Dave entertain you and it's all okay in the end. I've been labled as over the top just by what I may have been wearing but I think that Lady Ga Ga has put that one to rest for the rest of us, huh? Crazy from the heat!

Yeah I think the Dave haters out there are jealous of Dave for having a good time, too stupid to understand his sense of humor, too illiterate to appreciate his lyrics. And last time I spoke to George Carlin he told me that there are a lot of jealous, stupid, illiterate people out there!

I live by a very simple code.....I don't give a flying fuck what you think about me.......I don't give a shit if everyone likes what I dig or hates what I dig...............really why even give a fuck?

I agree. But it just pisses me off when Dave and Van Halen do not get the respect they deserve.

One thing I have noticed over the years is that when a woman digs Dave, her guy automatically hates him. Trust me when I tell you that Dave was (and still is) better looking than Jagger, Plant or any of the Beatles. That hatred and jealousy carries on for years. Its like the dude cant get over it. He felt so inferior during that time that he associates Dave with that feeling. So, even 30 years later, he still bags on Roth. And they dig Hagar because Hagar makes them feel better about themselves. LOL. Shit, even Michael Anthony looks good next to Hagar. :D

BTW...This is not always the case, only with guys who were insecure to begin with.

Yes, kind of like the Jerry Springer show.

Well Journey's story is kinda the same only they were Journey before Steve Perry led them to stardom. He's supposidly been pissed off because they went on without him and used the name. He told them not to do it. I guess they have the rights, but Journey would have never been Journey if it wasn't for Steve Perry. We grew up adoring Steve Perry. I was really more in love with his voice more than anything and had such a high respect for it. I still do. Hey ya can't cry over spilled milk and the more you stir shit the more it stinks...so my grandma always said. I think Van Hagar has silently become that bands name when Sammy was in it, let's face it, we had to make a distinction between the two.... all ofus David Lee Roth lovers, right?

Using the Van Halen name for Van Hagar shows a complete lack of respect for Van Halen.

Jimmy Page did not use the name Led Zeppelin with The Firm or Coverdale Page. That's because he appreciates and values what Led Zeppelin was. Paul McCartney did not say that Wings were The Beatles.

I agree a lot of frustrations we have as Dave fans is due to Van Hagar trying to cash in on another band's name.

I think someone posted on here that Warner Brothers wanted Van Hagar to use a name other than Van Halen. I bet Dave would have rejoined the band sooner if Van Hagar hadn't been allowed to hijack another band's name. Furthermore it was Dave himself that came up with the name Van Halen in the first place. That might have been Dave's second worst business decision of all time (after leaving the band in the first place).

Springer and Hagar go together it has a nice ring about it

Yeah, and using their unused energy on being jealous and hating people. Meanwhile it's only eating away at their own self....Now that's what I call really stupid and a real waste of time!Or do they really have that much time to kill? Boy I wish that's all I ever had to worry about was to talk shit on someone I don't even know.

I hear Daves a homo from only homos all the time. I think it's the hair cut...which happens to be one of my favorite cuts to do in cosmetology. I was really good at it in the early 90's. The skateboard cut or the wedge is what we called it. I hope he's not a homo, that would be a low blow (no pun intended) ha,ha,ha. My parish priest likes them and him so it ain't all that bad. Love and hate there is a fine line between the two but it's a cool reaction as far as I'm concerned. At least it's not luke warm...It's extreme which gets things going which is cool to me. Want a little fire scarecrow?

Why you with her? You should corrupt her arse.
My GF was the same... tolerant at first but her true colours came through. It was very clear she was utterly intimidated by his moves, his lyrics, his sarcasm, his scream.
Now she dates some accountant shmoe and listens to Jeff Buckley and Bon Jovi.
I accept that Dave is the kind of vocalist who is very confronting. But Jesus! You reckon you'd get the tongue in cheek by now.

Women either hate his guts or wanna have a love child with him.
Too many fucking over-socialized leftists spouting jealous diatribe, and when they have nowhere left to turn, they start with the sexuality stuff - Dave's a homo - who cares?
Listen to the words. Listen to the story.

That is so funny...Even Michael Anthony looks good next to Hagar....I'm laughing my ass off!

There are millions of internet haters in the world who hate for the sake of hating. Many are robots.

Yep! it's pretty easy to hate when your sitting behind a keyboard in your parents basement several thousand miles away from the person your hating. Real brave!

Don't feel bad, I just figured out after 30 yrs. why my boyfriend at the time hated Madonna so much that he would hurl her casstte tapes right out of the window of his little red Feiro. He was her age and I was 8 yrs. younger, a wanna be. I just mentioned it to some guy and he said that it was probally because he thought that I liked Madonna better that I liked him.....Bingo, sad but true. I did admire her more than him who happened to be a drug dealer at the time. But even then and now my own cousin Suzi and him and a few others have joined forces and still hate her to this day. Married with 6 kids,my cousin still smirks about her. Hey, I think this happens only to the greats. That only proves these people have something special and your average Joe Shmoe can't even handle it because deep down they wish they were them and they know they can never be them.... It must be very frustrating to want to be something that you are not. I guess you end up living a not so true life? Who knows, it is very entertaining to me that's all I can say. Come to think of it I think that that boyfriend accepted the fact he heard that Dave had pulled me up onstage and dipped me over and kissed me more than me being possibly dipped and kissed by Madonna, even though I'm not gay at all....He would have gotten more pissed off at me to hear that it was Madonna other than Dave that I happened to be kissing. Thank God she performed at the Superbowl. I just loved the fact that she was in all of THEIR faces, it was personal for me. I guarantee they changed the channel. I wonder if my cousin's daughters like Madonna...that would be the ultimate revenge. She won't even talk to me but she talks to my X from 20 yrs. ago, unreal. See it could always be worse....I swear that's how bad it was and still is from what I hear.
