Van Halen 'Live...Right Here, Right Now' happened to block Dave.

Really, if you wanted to compare apples to apples you would have to compare the classic VH to the Hagar era and then compare DLR solo to the Hagar solo albums around the same time. I don't think you want to compare the likes of Marching to Mars to the DLR Band record do you? Pick your poison.

yeah I was surprised when these debates picked out any album, any year willy nilly to compare and use as justification. I think the debate SHOULD ALWAYS BE >> VH (78-84) vs. VH (86-95) the 2 versions. and not throwing in DLR solo records vs. Van Hagar, etc.. That's not the right way to compare, but seems to be the case w a lot of Hagar dudes. They love to use the DLR solo stuff cuz it's easy target.

anyway yeah there's no touching VH 78-84. The Van Hagar music had a handful of ok songs here and there... but in no way close to the same league as w Dave.

And Sammy solo is **really** fcking bad. That Eagles Fly song could be Poison or Cinderella, not to mention all his other crap. but stating the obvious.

Agree, but have to ask, what does your handle mean? Forgive me if you've cleared that up before.

Or compare Dave solo after VH and Hagar solo after VH.

Or compare hagars solo work with a 10 year olds grammar homework , love above shove etc etc and something you stood in whilst walking the dog this morning .

[vandeleur]

Maybe hiring the tone deaf fat fuck was the ultimate fuck you Dave .
this is how important a singer is , look we can even have hits with this idiot .

[sonrisa salvaje]

Just to show you how the earth does spin on its correct axis at times, i was driving home last night listening to satellite radio. The d.j. comes on and comments on Live..Right Here Right Now but then says "why don't we play some solo Diamond Dave to make the world an equal place." He proceeded to play Yankee Rose. I thought that was really strange and cool given this thread and my comments over the last couple of days.

Obviously this wasn't Eddie Trunk's show.....

True enough, pales in comparison to DeeRow rhyming "baby" with " baby". Or singing about a plastic chair, or admonishing us to "Jump, go ahead and jump, might as well jump, jump....jump". (Tragically THAT is their signature song) Dave does have some clever lyrics here and there, but come on, he's not as jaw droppingly deep as you wish he was. I get it, Dave is a better singer, lyricist, dresser than Sam. He does cooler things than anyone in the world. He is your hero, omnipotent and all-seeing. A better selling hero to boot, any low numbers associated with him MUST be adjusted using some formula that doesnt exist to explain that his latest efforts are even huger than can be comprehended.

[FORD]

BAAAAAAA... Stop saaaaaaaaaying mean things about Saaaaaaaamy!!!

[Heater]

FARD, you zoophilic fascination with sheep is a bit unnerving. And barely clever, kinda the same thing over and over, we've heard it before. I'm sure you laugh at your witticisms. Who does this remind me of?

[FORD]

Why, Bleater, did you just compare me to David Lee Roth?

Only YOU would see that as an insult.

[Seshmeister]

Is FARD a derogatory term?

Sometimes these name change 'insults' are a real stretch.

[DLR Bridge]

...And barely clever, kinda the same thing over and over.

Many, no, most in here feel precisely this way about you.

[smorgdonkey]

Say what you want about Sammy's music, the fact remains that the Enema-Bag Hagar is a fucking awful person.

Maybe true but not as awful as Eddie Van Halen. Eddie burns everyone. Sam's word on the bashing seems legit to me - the VH bros told him that Dave was the enemy and Sam, wanting to fit in because he is a wannabe, joins in. I never heard anything about the VH bros telling Sam to tone down the bashing...in fact most of the stuff I saw was Ed or Al laughing about something said that wasn't even funny (while Dave's band was kicking ass). Ed burns everyone...Dave, Val, Sam, Dave again, Sam again, Mike, if Wolf wasn't his kid and Al not his brother they'd be on the list too.

Yeah, that's an easy one.....

A corrupt, consolidated record & radio industry that's more interested in promoting pedophile controlled boybands and autotuned Disney sluts than a veteran band with actual musical talent.

I think the fact that they missed the window in '96 and the state of the record industry now is more of an issue than marketing and promotion.
