I wonder how many copies would be sold if they were to put out a Van hager only greatest hits? They probably would have sold only 4 copies, and that would be because Spam, Shemp, Ed and Mike would have each bought a copy. Then again spammy deep down knows he sucks so he would not have bought a copy.

I think it would be 5 copies sold cause Sammy would buy 2 to boost the sales.

Had they included those Roth songs from 2000, sales would be through the fuckin' roof.

What scares me, though, is wondering whether or not those three new pieces of shit on the album now are what they recorded in 2000...

Scary thought...

hmm..maybe they hve roth singing those tracks too..and maybe they have sammy singing cant get this syuff no more and mwm in say, 1995 before they broke up. thats even worse!

i would kill to hear the rehearsal recordings of dave singing summer nights...on howard stern 1992 he said he wrote half of that album(5150)

Drops to #144 (from #117) selling 7875 copies this week. Down 20% from last. 411,728 total US sales, so it's not exactly Platinum here yet until it hits 500K since it's a double-disc.

They should have put those unreleased Dave tracks on the album, then it would have sold like the first one.

According to Hagar, they do. I heard him on Howard Stern back in 1996 when he was doing publicity for Marching to Mars and he insists that CGTSNM and MWM were originally going to be included on Balance but were (Hagar's words) "Dropped because Eddie didn't think they were good enough to make the album cut"....but we all know that Sam and Honesty are virtual strangers to each other, so who the fuck knows?

Sammy was very bitter back then and was probably trying to discredit Dave by insinuating that Dave just stepped in and recorded a couple of his songs. I think its always burned Sammy that its now common knowledge throughout the fan base that much of the music for 5150, his biggest album with VH, was written when Dave was still in the band. CGTSNM and MWM were well recieved songs so he's probably trying to grab some credit for them.

Yup, if DAVE wrote 50-75% of 5150, then Spammy really owes him his success in life! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!

Sammy Hagar and 5150 are like cocksoup. Nobody wants to give it a chance.

How did the Greatest Hits album with CGTSNM and MWM sell ? There was no tour but hype for a possible "reunion"

[Wa Wa Zat]

According to what I have found, Greatest Hits Vol. 1 (single cd) sold about 2.4 million copies with ONLY two new songs on it.

[what waz zat]

So the Greatest Hits with Dave outsold the Greatest Hits with Sammy by about 6 to 1. WIth only 2 new songs vs. 3 for Sammy
