When I see a thread like this, my first thoughts are; okay, who died now.

I was thinking the same thing.
I gotta go with dlr.

I always translate Van Halen to Roth. I am a big fan of Sammy too, but I like him better on his own label

David, hands down.

I will never forget when I bought album with dance the night away on it. Played it to death.

Two different styles all together. I lean towards this one....

Roth

Not even close.

Roth.

will say as the trend setter the group became legends with roth. No question in rock and roll history. They were marketed to society and played the marketing edge better with sammy. More hits per album etc.. But rock had changed. That is why so many bands during the 90's were able to produce the one hit wonder. Did see the group with sammy and his guitar dual with eddie was something roth could never bring. but i was a musician looking at different views of it all.

Which lead singer was my favorite? All of them...for me to pee on.
I never could stand any of that racket.
Too much, "look how loud I can scream." and "look how fast I can play a guitar." Rubbish, I say.

Well I still listen to it. Get through a few marathons every year with good old long hair rock in my ears.

Hard to beat this!!

^^Yes

Roth for sure, I won't hate on Sammy though, he did a good job as well, Hot for teacher is my favorite tune.

Roth was quite the showman! Did he get kicked out of the band because he got to thinking it was all about him??
Or did something else happen? I can't remember.

Somebodys gotta stick up for Sammy and that would be me , seen VanHagagar 6 or 7 times over the years puts on a heck of a show,

Great video rp but Pretty Women belongs to Roy !

one break, commin up
