Sammy sucks.

 

I think 1984 was a prelude to the Sammy years... kind of an introduction to what was to come (my least favorite VH album)

Van Halen with Hagar was still a quality rock band, but nothing is as good as Van Halen with Roth. For pure entertainment I'll put Van Halen in their prime against any band.

 

Since they aren't really doing anything, why don't they release Greatest Hits Vol. 2?

I voted Cherone cause I wanted to see if I could do it without breaking out in hives.

 

I couldn't.

"I guess it has been a couple months since the last time we did this poll. "

 

yes if the board saved for as long as it used to we could just continue to pontificate on it.

 

it will always re-appear

 

and yes carnal was IMO the best van hagar album

Roth all the way. There really is no comparison. I have a theory about Van Halen and Van Hagar:

 

Van Halen wrote "love" songs about pussy and ass, while as Van Hagar wrote pussy-ass love songs. Bow down in front of the almighty David Lee. He owns every last one of us, and we all know it.

Wow, im the first person to vote for Hagar. Guess it's cause i got into them when Sammy was fronting the band. I also perfer his vocals and the sound was a little more diverse on his records

I started a thread on this a few months ago, and I said before, and here, that Sammy rules.

mesepher, when you say your least favourite VH album was 1984, do you mean Van Hagar or Van Halen?

 

Obviously anything regarding Van Halen that didn't have Roth in the band sucked ass.

I only count the first six albums as true Van Halen albums... and out of those six, 1984 is by far the worst.

 

I even gave "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" a chance... and it blew the big one.

 

Van Halen wrote "love" songs about pussy and ass, while as Van Hagar wrote pussy-ass love songs.

excellent~!!!

most successful- van hagar

 

best singer- van cherone

 

best band- the original van halen

 

 

also mesepher, 1984 is only the worst album if you are looking at it as a guitar-oriented album (which it is not).

 

the worst album is far and away diver down. a bunch of covers and a couple of novelty songs. zzzzzzz (although big bad bill RULES)

The original lineup was easily the best but I do like some of the early Van Hagar stuff.

 

My band cranked out Best Of Both Worlds playing in the basement for the first time all together and when we finished we looked around and said "Holy shit,that wasn't bad!"

I've never seen the commercial, but I've seen an SNL skit promoting Crystal Gravy using a similar song. Thank you!

That would explain his Mas Tequila that he keeps speaking of.

I like Van Halen and Van Hagar, but I enjoy listening to Hagar more. Never heard Cherone, however.

 

Mas Tequila, indeed.
