Wow...just wow.
Sammy Hagar was a joke in Van Hagar. The whole hard rock edge...gone. Eddie Van Halen was neutered with that shrieking Bette Midler clone at the microphone.
Each album of Van Hagar's was worse and worse till he replaced him with Ga y Cherone from Extreme. That all I need to know about Van Hagar.
Van Halen missed its best opportunity to do the right thing back in 96..
They squandered the best point to firmly put Rock back on the map and squash rap like a cockroach.
The fans wanted it for sure...Listen to them. The musicians...greeting Van Halen...not casual fans...real musicians standing on their feet recognizing.
Eddie was too busy sticking the knife in Dave's back over a couple of songs for a greatest hits package nobody wanted. They wanted Van Halen back together.
It took Wolfgang Van Halen to make things right and tell his dad that his band sucked and make it right.
I'll gladly take this version of Van Halen over Van Hagar or Gay Halen any day. Do I wish Michael Anthony were there...yeah, I do. He was too busy hanging in Cabo Wabo though. He made his bed, now he has his new band Chickenfoot(Chad Smith - Drummer, Joe Satriani - Guitar, Michael Anthony - Bass and Sammy Hagar - Vocals and guitar) that Hagar has already said ..."When people hear the music, it's Led Zeppelin. It's as good as that. I know that's a mighty bold statement...We could rival Zep."
Sammy Hagar should shut his freaking cakehole (but he won't), so let him put his foot in his mouth...AGAIN. He's no Robert Plant or Jimmy Page. He's not even competent to be Page's guitar tech! He should count his lucky stars that he stalked Eddie Van Halen and begged for the lead singer's gig with Van Halen.
David Lee Roth IS Van Halen...end of story. If you're still listening to Van Hagar...stop. Even Joe Dirt knows that it's Van Halen, not Van Hagar!
Burn those crappy records and light up the sky with the real thing! The Van Halen Classic 6-Pack! Van Halen, Van Halen II, Women & Children First, Fair Warning, Diver Down and 1984.
