Please provide proof that Van Halen is better with Sammy Hagar!

Seriously guys...

Some of the political posts on here are getting very ridiculous.

I had no idea there would be so many people trying to save the world on a poker messageboard when I wandered on here a while ago. It's even worse over on RGP, where you regularly see stuff like:

OT: BUSH IS AN ASS

or

OT: KERRY LIED ABOUT BREAKFAST

A little levity goes a long way...lots of people need to lighten up.

Ok. I personally like D.L. Roth, but girls seem to tend to like Sammy Hagar more. With Sammy, I get to listen to Eddy's guitar and the woman gets to listen to her Sammy. We both win!

Heres the proof.

I like Sammy on his own. He kicks ass. With Van Halen, it's turned into very 'safe' rock. Which made for easier radio play. The castration of VH. When an old VH tune vs. a VHagar tune comes on the radio, which usually gets turned up louder?

I heard one of their latest songs with Sam. Feels like i'm back in '88. How about an update guys!?! Starting to sound like Boston. Where every song kinda sounds the same.

Dave is one of the most entertaining/influential frontmen ever. Including interviews. Often imitated, never duplicated. Sure, he's a goofball, but the guy IS rock n roll. What band out now even compares to old VH? Not just in music, but attitude? The last one to compare (that comes to mind) was Motley Crue. Though GNR is right up there. Those guys are lucky to be alive. For no other purpose other than to rock n roll and have a blast doing it. (Somehow, i just don't get this feeling with bands like pearl jam)

I like some the the Van Hagar stuff, but it's nothing compared to the originals.

As much as i like Eddie, he's a headcase. Alex is an A-Hole riding Ed's coattails.

I'd still see the reunion tour with Dave.

I'd like to see a VH reunion tour featuring both Dave AND Sammy. The first hour and a half with Dave, then close with Sammy. Will never happen though, too bad.

There is no proof that Van Halen was better with Sammy Hagar. From this bastards standpoint Van Halen ended when DLR left the group!

To put things into perspective, that same bunch of clowns said Phil Collins was better than Peter Gabriel, and we all know that sh*t ain't true.

Wow. I don't think a single person read the body of the original post.

Besides, it doesn't matter who wins, because they are both losers. Van Halen has consistently sucked since DLR left originally, and that includes the times he's been back since. Fate would have done them a great favor if they were all struck dead in 1985.

I was wondering who the hell was still listening to them. Mystery solved. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Personally, I never liked Van Halen. But the proof as to when they were better is in the record sales. VH sold a lot more records with Sammy Haggar. Case closed.

Yes....I was poking fun at the overly partisan political posts on here that regularly make me laugh. They, at times, remind me of the internet Sammy vs. Dave message board arguments that go nowhere. It's a battle that never ends, much like our political bickering.

I recently went to a Van Halen concert, saw the reinvigorated VH with Sammy...so it was on my mind.

For the record I like the music of the DLR era better, but think DLR has gone nuts (and lost his voice), and I'm ok with Sammy. It's two different bands in my opinion.
