I am a huge Van Halen fan, but I prefer the David Lee Roth Van Halen, not Van Hager or Van Cherone. The only Van Hagar tune I like is Human's Being from the Twister soundtrack. |

I saw Van Hagar years back. It was a decent show. I wonder why there will be no Anthony? Why have a reunion if your not gonna do it right? |

Okay , I have seen VH 10 times since 1979 . First they opened for Ted Nugent in Bridgeport Conn ... I had front row tickets 'cause My moms friend worked at the venue . I wanted to see Ted play "Great White Buffalo", but after VH ripped everyone a new assh*ole , I decided that I wanted to play guitar , not be a rockstar , just play the axe ... He inspired me to be the best I could be . Then I saw them in 1980 , The US fest in '81 , 1983 , and then witnessed the addition of Sammy in 1986 in Landover MD ... In my opinion , Sam can can really sing well live . He doesnt have the stage presence of Dave , but he has real down to earth talent . When he and Ed jammed in on " I cant Drive 55" man that kicked some serious a$$ ! Saw Monsters of Rock in 87' (?) ou812 tour , and then the F.U.C.K. tour which was really great . I saw them in Orlando for the Balance tour actually met them that afternoon before the show , very cool musicians . I was them w/ Cherone at House of Blues in Orl fl. in '98 and was right ifo Eddie . Loved it , because I respected what Gary was contributing to the sound , I liked VH 3 . They (the whole band) walked through the ticket-holder line , talked with us . I shook Eds hand and he said " Are you a musician? " I told told him why I play , how he inspired me to be a musician , even tho I am a 3rd gen musician like him .We had a cool brief conversation . Last I saw them in '04 in Ft laud fl , and Ed was too drunk to play his solo as well as I have seen in the past years , but it was a good show . Everyone will have thier opinion on who should sing for then band . I say let them play , If you dont like it , go worship some other podium. The way I see it , Micheal Anthony will be sorely missed because of his really great backup singing . His bass playing is good during the music ,( by 1986 his bass solos were just funny , not really a solo but more a barrage of noise) but Illl be interested to see Wolfs' solo , if its at all a growth in musicianship . I loved Daves performances (esp the US fest which I have on vhs ), but I saw him in orl in '97 at the Station and it was really sad , he cant really jump (hairpiece) or sing at all . But I will always have Edwards influence to be an expressionist of sorts on the instrument . So , the argument continues : Dave vs. other front men , I say let them play;no matter who is singing , Ill do my best to attend and make my own mind up based on that show . For what its worth , it was never Van Hagar , NEVER ... ask Ed or Alex . |

I saw them with Hagar in Jacksonville in 04. It was a make-up date for a prior hurricane and the attendance was a joke, but the show was pretty good aside from Hagar being disinterested the whole time (he literally never stopped signing autographs the entire concert). |

I think he may have gotten hairplugs by the time I saw him, or perhaps the lighting hid the toupee well. At one point during a solo (not sure who the guy was, but he was decent, but couldn't play all of Little Guitars) Dave was literally prancing around the stage in circles, with his pants halfway down his ass. |
Whats the deal with Sammy Hagar and Van Halen? I do not keep up with these things. I always thought Sammy was a better vocalist than Dave. |

I remember Diamond Dave taking Howard Sterns spot on the radio in December '05. I also remember Diamond Dave being booted off the air, due to sucking, in January '06.
