Van Halen talks about how Sammy joined the band.

[lugger2010]

If everyone was honest, you would see that while Ed was happier w/ Hagar because he was FINALLY the boss/ in control, Ed, Al, and even Mike were sad when Dave left because they knew it was over,and while Hagar is a good musician, VH was dead! Why else would they CONTINUE to whine and bitch about Roth leaving, long into the 90s? If they were truly glad he weas gone, dont you think they would NOT be bringing up his name in EVERY interview?

The thing that bothers me the most about VH always was that I can't listen to them without Roth, yet the guy is a douche bag. Yet Sammy seems to be the sweetest guy, yet he lacks the lyrical prowess and over the top showmanship. I mean, let's face it,VH lost it's edge after Roth quit and some of that is Eddie's fault too. And firing Michael Anthony is totally unforgivable! I will never pay to see these guys live without him even tho Roth is back in the fold.
