As far as Range Rovers go the most unreliable SUV I ever owned. They drive nice but if you like nonstop problems buy one.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

What’s in Wolfgang’s sack? Nothing. Wolfgang has no balls.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I know that Wolf is talking about his father here, so his viewpoint is little different and he's trying to be diplomatic or whatever but "same guy wrote both eras" doesn't mean that "that same guy" cannot write crap. Or that it sounds like two totally different bands.Comment

Wolf looks like a fat Dave Grohl. Yeah the guy has some talent but if you are really serious about being an entertainer you put some effort into looking good.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

The songs weren't written by one person alone either. The singer has a big role to play as we all know.
Change the singer you change the whole dynamic. Hagar was obviously somewhat of a hack.
He recently talked about the "magic ' the band had and points to Cabo Wabo as being an example.: " it was done in one take"etc.
But that is what the vocal sounds like and the lyrics are pure shit.
He's trying to copy Dave's style and it doesn't work.
I got kicked off vhlinks again, because I said it was run of the mill shit.
Which is what it is. So that place is pretty much a Hagar love in at this point.
Bottom line: Dave had artistic ambitions and took more time with each track.
Hagar didn't, was lazy, and cared about money more than anything else which is what the Van Halen bros figured out.
You can be the"better singer" but the creativity section of the exam goes to Dave all the way.Comment

the song Cabo Wabo is a good example of why Van Hagar was shit compared to CVH.
I had recently listened back to that track on Apple Music when the remastered versions came out, curious to hear if there was any improvement on sound, etc.
As far as the song goes it plods along and for way too long. The backing vox with too many "ooos" again is cringe. Ed's main riff was good as was Alex's groove but as it keeps going it comes across as lazy, boring and slow. Ed's solo was just lame wanking like he had nothing left in the tank to offer. Sam's lame lyrical content and delivery just caps it off as making it worse. In a nutshell thats what Van Hagar was.Last edited by Vinnie Velvet; 01-10-2024, 02:00 PM.=V V=

Wouldn't say the kid is totally talentless, but these days he just looks terrible. Even more bloated than he did 15 years ago.
I suppose I can understand Wolfgang being defensive over those who think less of what his father did after Roth left the group. But that's the thing about professional musicians, in that once the music is put out there the audience makes up their own mind. The contentions over which Van Halen lineup was better have been going on since before Wolfgang was born, and him chiming in his two cents isn't going to make any difference.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

Ultimate Classic Rock has an article about "sophomore slumps." This is the pic they used for Montrose
Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.Comment
