David without a doubt.

We watched a documentary on the making of Van Halen last night. In the beginning before Dave joined Eddie and the crew they were playing cover music at backyard events and renting the amp that Dave owned. Dave eventually joined the band but wasn't content with playing cover music at back yard parties so they started making their own music and eventually launched. Obviously there's a lot more to the story but the bottom line is Van Halen would have never become famous without David Lee Roth.

Preach it!

This is why Van Hagar is irrelevant to me. The brothers effectively neutered a Hard Rock act into a groomed poodle hoop festival with Sammy at the helm. EVH, whom I'll claim as the Modern Day Mozart (thank GOD I was alive to see him perform!) on the electric guitar decided he wanted to focal on keyboards. Alex, quite arguably the most underappreciated drummer in Rock History mails it in, Mikey being his affable self went into 5th gear and never left it. That left Sammy to the helm and man, was THAT abysmal! He's to Rock N Roll what Dylan Mulvaney is to Beer!

If it hadn't been for DLR, there is NO DOUBT that Van Halen would be a footnote...IF in RNR History.

And David would sim in a fistfight between the two. I’m standing by that one.
