Sammy Hagar won Van Halen, right?

Posted by prayformojo (aka mayhem) Feb 9 '11, 09:51

the band had success when he was the frontman, and well after the fact he came away looking the best out of anyone else involved, right?

Responses:

I'm glad we had both Van Roth and Van Hagar. Each made a good set of music. -- nm - ty97 Feb 9, 10:09 1
- This. -- nm - Krusty Feb 9, 10:17
younger me liked DLR more, now I am a bigger fan of Van Hagar -- nm - Beaker Feb 9, 10:05
broth or cream...both. - Mel Profit Feb 9, 10:04
Well, Eddie (and Alex by extension) seem to be pretty big dicks. - Jim Feb 9, 10:00
Poundcake! -- nm - David Feb 9, 10:00
yes. (I like them so much better with him.) -- nm - Kim Pine Feb 9, 09:58
no -- nm - Spawn Feb 9, 09:56 1
- it is official, you still suck at halo. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 9, 09:56
he gave them more mainstream success IMO, but the faithful bow to David Lee. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 9, 09:55 21
- I think I like more pre-Halen Hagar songs than I like post-Roth Halen songs. Hagar took their edge off. -- nm - Max Feb 9, 10:27 1
  - they were going that way anyway, just listen to 1984. -- nm - Remlik Feb 9, 10:36
- Better success = Hagar, better music = DLR. -- nm - Spawn Feb 9, 09:56 18
  - For Unlawful is still the best Van Halen disc from start to finish. Alex and Micheal never sounded better before or since -- nm - Remlik Feb 9, 10:00 15
    - oooh...I don't know that I can subscribe to that opinion. - Jim Feb 9, 10:02 1
      - if I remember correctly Glynn Johns produced it and Alex really was pleased with how it sounded.... - Remlik Feb 9, 10:06
    - 1984 trumps it. -- nm - Spawn Feb 9, 10:02 12
      - sorry I couldn't hear anything he played due to Eddie overdoing the Keyboards. -- nm - Remlik Feb 9, 10:06 1
        
        Well, it *is* bass. - Spawn Feb 9, 10:09
      - So does Van Halen 1. nm - Jim Feb 9, 10:02 9
        
        Agreeance. -- nm - Spawn Feb 9, 10:04 8
        
        Also, and I'm probably alone no this opinion, 5150 is still my favorite with Hagar. -- nm - Jim Feb 9, 10:07 7
        
        Yeah, I agree, although my favorite Hagar VH song in on FUCK. - groiny Feb 9, 10:09 5
        
        Top 5, for sure. -- nm - Spawn Feb 9, 10:10 4
        
        Word. And I really like Poundcake too. nm -- nm - Jim Feb 9, 10:12 3
        
        The stupid mixer/drill thing knocks that down a bit. -- nm - Spawn Feb 9, 10:18 2
        
        Jackyl approved of it. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 9, 10:20 1
        
        Exactly. --nmbNtE - Spawn Feb 9, 10:24
        
        My brutha! -- nm - Spawn Feb 9, 10:08
  - that is what I said, halo-tard. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 9, 09:58 1
    - Just as in Halo, you may have said it, but you did not say it as well. -- nm - Spawn Feb 9, 10:04
yeah I think he came out of it with more class than Eddie did by far. Especially after Eddie dumped Micheal ANthony the way he did -- nm - Remlik Feb 9, 09:55 8
- I think that (the Anthony affair) makes me more hatey than anything. - JaxSean Feb 9, 10:00
- Eddie came off as very bitter and crazy towards the end. - Mel Profit Feb 9, 09:59 4
  - Eddie has come away from the whole thing looking like a douche, IMO ,,, - i'm not dead yet ! Feb 9, 10:03
  - blame Gary Cherone. - groiny Feb 9, 09:59 2
    - ha! that poor guy -- nm - Remlik Feb 9, 10:11 1
      - I still like him, just not for VH. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 9, 10:13
- why did Eddie dump him? -- nm - Diva Feb 9, 09:58 1
  - cause Anthony in the off time from Van Halen went and played a couple of shows with Sammy.... - Remlik Feb 9, 10:03
David Lee Roth broke Van Halen. Sammy Hagar was an acceptable Band Aid. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 9, 09:55
