Calm Like A Bomb Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) I am a huge fan of Van Halen and i think they are better than Guns N' Roses but when David Lee Roth went "solo" and Van Halen recruited Sammy Hagar who did you prefer? I would go with Roth simpy because he carried his style and voice straight into his band plus with Steve Vai on guitar and Gregg Bissonette on drums it was never going to fail. Sammy was great for Van Halen but took away their hard rock image and although Roth also went very commercial it was a new band so that's the way he wanted to go. Roth ruined the super group he had though by being too egotistical but hey that was always the way Diamond Dave rolled and i certainly loved him for it.

Shuffle Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Van Halen was much better with Roth, and Eat 'Em And Smile are much better than the Van Halen albums with Hagar even though it's very commercial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONEZY Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Van Halen(Sammy era) easily over Dave's solo career. Dave's solo experiment started off great w/Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan in the band. The 1st 2 albums are pretty good. But then Sheehan left, then Vai was gone and Dave was left with no-name musicians. He never recovered.Meanwhile, Van Halen did nothing but kick ass when Sammy joined. I never liked the keyboard songs and still don't. But most of it rocked.

Cornell Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Van Halen with Dave kicked ass at the time, but then Dave took a shit and Sammy saved the day! And don't say that Dave just got old because Sammy is older and rules over Dave now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UYIllusion Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I never liked Van Halen after Roth left. However, I think Van Hagar was better than Roth solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I always thought Van Halen with Sam was a much better band than the David Lee Roth solo stuff...Dave started strong with a really kick ass band that had Vai, Sheean and Bissonette. But as soon as they were gone (after 2 albums) the rest of his stuff is utter garbage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
