not true n ya better do some more research. ones in the end did bad and was becuase of the brothers and Sammy just wanted to get them dome and away from them and out of the band. only the first Van halen albums did well and then back slid just like their shows. they went down hill big time before sammy came by and got them a leg up...
Hagar blows roth away!! he brought so much more to the table than just being a good front man with an ego problem and personaly the van halens are magot punks, even though ed WAS one of the best in the world and long gone n what a waste case he is now. and as far as him with VH, was the only time their albums sold as many as they did and more than when had maggot roth with them!! FACT!!
That's actually not true in the least. VH1 and 1984 sold more albums than the entire Van Hagar catalog. Sammy always misstates this because it makes his era of the band look bad...because it should. Each album Sammy recorded with them, sold less than the one before. Hardly rock star material.
TAKE2TOKES, if you think Sammy is a good guitar player, then you had one toke too many! hahaha I CAN TYPE IN ALL CAPS TOO! Relax, it was a joke. I love how angry you people get with the whole DLR vs. Sammy crap...
If you question Sammy's guitar playing ability evidently you were'nt around back in the day to have seen the guitar battles between Hagar and Gary Pihl live.Sammy can kick some serious ass playing playing guitar not to mention that he penned almost all of his own songs during his solo career.
To: Jammin' John. Wrong. "Right Now" was a number one, as was "When It's Love." BTW, Van Halen's only Grammy came with Hagar. To: davidleenatra: first, get an identity of your own. Second, you're a racist fuck.
Thou art wrong! Neither went number one, Van Halen's only number one was Jump (a DLR song). To your second point, do you think anybody cares about the Grammy's anymore? They go right in with Rolling Stone: a bunch of music "experts" who are completely out of touch with what fans really like.
Anyone else laugh at these guys who have a boner for Dave and hate Sammy after all these years? My God, aren't we all in out thirties and forties by now? Get over it. Van Halen rocked with Dave and they rocked with Sam. Now go take a cold shower.
Whether VH had David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar, they both brought something different to the table. Of course, I enjoy "old" Van Halen the best as that was when I in my "prime"...LOL!!!
Sammy rocks. Screw Dave. Mikey got a clue and came along for a great ride that has no signs of slowing. Clue in to the Cabo Wabo lifestyle and stop worrying about it.
I think all of you hagar hating fans are forgeting a few important things. vh isn't vh without mike, and secondly VH was covering montrose before they were anybody. So dave learned to be dave by copying guys like none other than sammy. And did dave ever have a number one record in Vh, because i seem to remember all of the van hagar albums debut at number one. Plus Vh is a joke now the roth lineup will never hit a stage, they can't even make it through rehersals. Vh is a memory now.
diamond isn't a number one though. they have had twenty nine and twenty three years respectively to do so. sammy's albums went number one when they debuted. dave didn't make Van halen. van Halen made dave. sammy made them better. And that is fact.
no but he has had 4 number one albums. Albums whole collections of songs debut at number one and stay there. and one live album at muber three the same number as daves highest ranking album. every thing he did with Van halen matched daves success and then went further. that's the thing, he took beyond what dave could. from a big band to the biggest band.
1984 was a number 2 (not 3) to Thriller. Which was an amazing stepping stone for Spammy to start out on. Dave worked with the =VH= from the ground up. Those albums with Dave did pretty good without having to do cheesy Journey like ballads. I can argue with you all day and night about this but simply, women will always win out when bands do music that's directed towards food or Valentines' Day.
you could argue with me all day, you have been wich is the point I proved. dave fans are so pissy about sammy, because they are bitter. and its funny to make you wine all day and night. which you will probably respond to this proving my point more. when simply the band was the biggest in the world with both singers. and both of them deserve equally the title. but that something you'll never admit to. And sammy didn't just write ballads with vh listen to the records sometime.
osammy bin hagar playing with tafkab (the artist formerly known as bassplayer [for van halen])as a backup singer...this sucks...it's a shame that this capri wearing ronald mc donald wannabe gets into the hall of fame on the coattails of DAVID LEE ROTH!
Great video of the classy half of Van Halen It's nice to see these guys having fun while we watch the train wreck that is coming with Dave Eddie and his snot nosed pimple faced kid
vetteman thanks for the clip but was this the only song fox aired?I got to see the songs on the set list for the day but like a idiot I was watching abc.
Great to see something positive for Sammy and Mikey. They deserve the appearence cause they earned it something vh cant understand. The crowd was way into this. Thanks for the treat .Fitz
