Appetite18 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 The titles pretty self explanatory. The Van Hagar era seems to get a lot of mixed reactions, I just want to know whats worth owning and what isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddergascar Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 the best from hagar imo are 5150 and for unlawful carnal knowledge (f.u.c.k).At this point I can't make a decision<{POST_SNAPBACK}>5150 is the only real classic. It just gradually goes downhill from there basically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appetite18 Posted September 25, 2005 Author Share Posted September 25, 2005 So 5150 is a definite buy. I might buy F.U.C.K. cause I have heard some songs from there like Poundcake and Runaround, which I thought were very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONEZY Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 5150 and F.U.C.K. are the best. OU812 is underated, no hit singles, but Eddie has some killer guitar solo's on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I go with F.U.C.K and Balance.Balance had some really dark heavy moments... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissirge Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 don't buy none.....just flush your cash down the toilet while listening to I or 1984 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucketfinck26 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 The best is 5150, followed closely by OU812 (Mine all mine, Cabo Wabo, Black or blue are GREAT)Balance and F.U.C.K are good albums (with some weak points) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to blame Hagar because as soon as he arrived, it became considerably poorer than when Roth was in the band. But it was Eddie who wanted to change the musical direction of Van Halen, not Hagar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was definately more of a showman though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONEZY Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 David Lee Roth is his own worst enemy. He left in 1985. He wanted to make a movie(remember that fiasco?), and go solo. He had 1 or 2 decent solo albums and an tour that did OK. Unfortunately, the new VH was kicking the shit out of him with their albums and tours. He had a chance to get back in the band in 1996, and that lasted what....a whole day?? Eddie and Alex hate Dave that much!! They could have made a shitload of cash, everyone wanted to see that reunion.....but Ed and Al realized right away that they could not put up with Dave and his crap.Dave was great from 76-85, and has gone downhill ever since. Last year he was a paramedic, now he is gonna be a morning DJ. How the mighty have fallen. He hasn't even done a reality TV show... yet. Sammy was a good with Montrose in the early 70's and a good solo act until 1985.From 85-96, Sammy was awesome with VH. He could hit the high notes, Dave never could. The album sales don't lie. And the tours were selling out all over.And Gary Cherone, bad choice by Eddie. He did it out of spite. The tour was very weak, instead of 20,000 a night, it was 9 or 10,000.That being said, I love both Dave and Sammy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
