Dave may not be as good as he once was, but come on. He's 54 years old. How many other 54 year old guys do you see singin' and screamin' in a hard rock band? And besides, this is classic Van Halen. This is what they started as and became well known for. When DLR left, it wasn't the same. It was a different style.
And after Hagar left, the style changed again, for the worse. Eddie even had lead vocals on one song from Van Halen III (How Many Say I).
The style changed because in the end, ED affects the style the most.
Sammy just wrote the lyrics, not the music. Ed changed the style more than Sammy did. Ed started writing different types of songs during the 1984 sessions.
The songs on 5150 would have been there regardless of if Sammy or Dave was there. The music would have been the same. The lyrics would have been diff.
That is true, but that's why David and Eddie came to a disagreement which ended up seeing David replaced by Sammy. It doesn't matter who effected the style, it changed. And that changed Van Halen into Van Hagar.
My point? They should have kept up with what made them Van Halen.
Sammy sounds nothing like Dave. But I respect your opinion.
