Van Hagar Fans, are they really that stupid ?

It must be the Kool-Aid they're all drinking.

5150 man, EdWad is living it!

Dave knew it too....take a look at the old vid!

And yes...to confuse Van Halen with Van Hagar you would have to be stupid.

Would have to imagine any clear-thinking person would be unable to say what's going on this year represents Van Halen, or even Van Hagar, at their best.

Can't believe any fan of what the classic lineup did, or even fans of what Van Hagar did, could find this acceptable. Have heard the three new tracks, have seen the concert clips posted on this site. For what Van Hagar are charging for this fiasco, anyone who thinks they're getting value for their money deserves to be fleeced.

Have to agree that it's a lack of standards, and maybe a refusal to let go. Think most of the people who dug Van Hagar from the get-go were Van Halen fans who hopped onboard in 1984, along with a certain amount of guitarists with shit in their ears. Any guitar player worth their salt knew Eddie was spent by the time Eat 'Em and Smile came around, and Vai was just walking all over synth-playin' Ed.

Also agree it's the aging hair-metal contingent that makes up the bulk of who's attending these shows this year. Same folks who go and see Bon Jovi and the endless package tours of Poison/Slaughter/Warrant/whatever. Guess taste and common sense aren't attributes one acquires with age by default.

Makes sense. Van Hagar was a follower of that mid to late 1980s power ballad rock lite movement.

Classic Van Halen was highly influencial. Just a shame how that influence was displayed at times.

He could play guitar like me and get slavish admiration from these idiot sheep. Roth wouldn't have stood for such sub-par playing or half-assed lyricism (because he would've written the lyrics himself, for starters!)

The Brothers Grim and Fat Mike knew Davy Baby would raise all kind of Hell and kicked some ass to get them up to his level, and they couldn't handle it. That's why Spammy was chosen again; He personifies mediocrity.

DAVE has ALWAYS maintained that the SISTERS LAZINESS was the primary factor in his walking out of the band in 1985. LAZINESS & SUBSTANCE ABUSE.

DAVE OR THE GRAVE BABY!!!
