The DLR era songs are orders of magnitude better than the schmaltz they did with Hagar. EVH's tone is orders of magnitude better in the DLR era. I'd love to live in the multiverse timeline where Dave stayed with Van Halen. I bet that shit would absolutely blow doors off.
Ed’ “brown sound” was iconic … for some reason, in the Hagar years, it became a weird, “processed”, “electronic” sound. Gone was the saturated, raw power that would make you smile when hearing a power chord (like early in “Mean Street”, etc), and solo tone that sounded like Ed’s amp tubes were melting!
@@heb430 He may have been a good showman,but the last time I checked a vocalist is also supposed to be able to sing and remember the damn words,both of which Roth can't do and he doesn't hold a candle to what Sammy did and can still do to this day.
Who cares,we’ve never heard this from Ed it only exists in Sammy’s mind,Roth era sold a lot more albums than Sammy era and that speaks volumes as to what era was more successful!!!
@@larryoneill7432 Ed’s work after Dave is NOT his standout stuff .. look at ANY authoritative source (guitar players who can replicate his stuff pretty well) here on TH-cam … Not much of anything post “1984”
VH was explosive with DLR, in a good way. I think it could only last so long because it would eventually turn in on itself…and it did. Band dynamics, shit happens even to the best. The Beatles are a good example also.
isn't it sad that Hagar pays for these news bits just to try and stay relevant? The fact is the VH brother wanted nothing to do with him. Alex still won't take his call for good reason...much like Monnie Montrose before them....Dave just laughs at his sad whiny lyric act lol
Cripes. Sammy just wont stop. He swears the band was nothing before him and nothing after him and that the VH bros were mean and bad. Ok so why is Sammy trying so hard to insert himself in that group again and be part of the gang. Hagar may be a nice guy with fans and friends but the guy is a whinny cry Sack when it comes too VH. Sammy has been on a smear campaign against VH's and Roth for 20 years now. Cripes we get it Sammy they Butt hurt your one way too Rock. The Red Rocker, no The Drama Rocker.
I was going to comment the same thing but you said it even better than I was going to. Yeah, okay, Plant's solo career wasn't as big as his career with Led Zeppelin....well that's not saying much as there aren't too many careers in the rock world that rival Led Zeppelin and while his solo stuff doesn't get the airtime that "I Cant Drive 55" gets but like @toddfrank3344 points out, it certainly wasn't unsuccessful nor lacking in quality.
There is no argument, Dave can’t touch Sammy when it comes to singing, but Dave outshines Sammy as an entertainer. It’s all personal preference. If you want to be entertained it’s Dave. If you listen for the music it’s Sammy. I enjoy both but I prefer the Sammy era. That being said, when a Van Halen song comes on the radio the volume immediately goes to max. There is no reason to bicker or quarrel, any Van Halen song is a good Van Halen song. You can’t go wrong with either singer. I even liked the album they did with Gary. The bottom line is that the brothers knew how to make good music no matter who they were working with.
Sorry, I’m not entertained by DLR on stage. I’m embarrassed. I’ll take a less entertaining singer if he can sing. The first qualification for a great frontman is what? Being able to sing! Look at it this way. What would you say, if Eddy was good in the studio, but live he stunk? Even if he was entertaining and looked cool you would be disappointed.
All these people here in the comments bitching about how awesome the Dave era was... Been a fan since 1980 and Ed is the reason I picked up the guitar, and still play it today. But here are some facts.. All eras of VH are great (Even Cherone had one good song)... Ed was a tone chaser and his sound and writing style changed throughout the years. Also, if you only like the DLR era, then you're NOT a VH fan... You're a DLR fan... If you're a VH fan, you like all of their music because Ed and Alex were the backbone with their distinctive swing and Michael Anthony's unbeatable backing vocals. Also, DLR era stuff was great, but it was party rock, which has it's place, but it didn't come anywhere near the melodies that Sammy brought to the table with his song writing. Starting with 5150, VH actually had melodic songs, the kind of songs where the melodies get stuck in your head... In the end, both were great for their time, but it's interesting to see how the DLR only fans are so musically illiterate.
@pojo1010 Its hard to talk to illiterates which are the idiots whose money the record companies chase after. Idiots have more buying power which is why theyre treated like whores for materialistic gain and not humans.
Sammy did a better job making bubblegum pop metal that pleased the ignorant masses, but DLR was the peak for VH. Even what DLR did with his band was more VH than the disappointing Van Hagar era.
@@davidzwisohn5478 Definitely yours. Somebody bought the four number 1 albums during the Sammy era. And Dave's solo records didn't sell nearly as well.
It's true. Dave was all about being a showman than being a musician. The early Roth stuff was phenomenal but he couldn't sing as good as Sammy did especially live. Like today when he does a show he talks more during a song more than he does singing. Roth's voice has gone to pot. Hagar still sounds good today.
Regardless, Sammy Hagar was around the music scene longer than VH. Only listen to the DLR era. Not the commercial Hagar era (to each is own). Van Halen changed the entire music scene in '78, years prior to Sammy joining the band. Do like some of Sammy Hagar's early solo material. The first two Montrose LPs are classics as well.
A lot of the venom initially following the split with DLR was being directed from the brothers. In fact, so much so, that Roth made a MTV special to introduce his new band and dispell some of the rumors Eddie and Alex were dishing up. It stayed heated for a little while after that, partly because Sammy got in the middle of some of the smack talk. I guess as the new frontman it fell on him to be the voice of VH in interviews, so maybe at the time he thought he had to be aggressive toward Roth, but in the end most of the trash talking faded away as each entity kept recording and touring, finding their own audience, wothout either side achieving the same popularity and respect the original band had. I think Sammy defending his time in Van Halen is partly driven by regret that he set his solo career aside to join up with Eddie and Alex. I, personally, liked him much more before Van Hagar, and really am disappointed that of all the musical projects and involvements he has had in his career he continues to let this one be the one that defines, as though he wants his tombstone to read, "Sammy Hagar, Lead Singer, Van Halen".
Only VH is DLR/VH. Tension is a good thing in a band, they pushed each other, Eddy was out to prove he was the star of the show and Dave was out to prove he was, it worked and it is what gave their music the aggressive edgy go for broke sound. With Sammy it was all syrup, sappy, safe and predictable. Sam is a great singer in his own right but I never bought a VH album with him on it, only original VH for me.
Can we move on please!?!? I LOVE the old VH with Dave. I also LOVE the Sammy era. Dave was quirky and a great frontman, Sammy sang better, wrote better, and played guitar, a bit, to free Eddie up on the keys. The music was deeper- and just better. I saw Dave and Sammy when they toured together years ago. It was Sammy’s turn to open that particular show, it was great. Stayed for Dave and could only get through 4 songs before I had to get the hell out of there. Bottom line- it’s like marrying young, maybe your college sweetheart (Dave), and then remarrying later with your true soulmate (Sammy). That college sweetheart was awesome, but your soulmate was real- and better. I still love that college sweetheart though. I can, and do, love both. I hope you can appreciate the analogy. Whenever I hear VH, whichever version, I crank it up! And, that is what is important because Eddie is ultimately why people should enjoy Van Halen. Peace!
Here is a question to ponder. Why doesn't Sammy Hagar pound his chest about his solo career? All is about Van Halen and his ten year tenure in Van Halen. Everything after that has STILL been about Van Halen with a side order of Chickenfoot and The Circle. All with Michael Anthony and a few gunslingers on guitar to support his du jour "band". Still riding the coat tails and always bringing up a tribute for E.V.H. Sammy Hagar ,in his lifetime, will never surpass the success he enjoyed with Van Halen...and He Has tried pretty f' ing hard.
Does anybody really want to hear either of them sing the others songs? Let's be honest if Sammy Hagar took Dave's spot in 1977 the early albums would not have been nearly as good.
I won’t say David Lee Roth is a better singer than Sammy Hagar, but I will say DLR Van Halen was much better than Sammy Hagar Van Halen and I grew up with the Sammy Hagar Van Halen. Once I went back and started listening to the old albums, I almost laughed at how Poppy Hagar‘s version sounded. That being said, the band was very popular with Sammy and he made a ton of money. Now that EVH is gone, there is no more competition to be had. Both of them should just give this shit a rest.
Dave’s isolated vocals have little relationship to Eddie’s music melodically or rhythmically. Dave was emulating Al Johnson type vaudeville singing on almost all the songs deliberately disregarding to drown out the complex music underneath. Eddie hated that, but tolerated it. When Sammy scatted melodies over Summer Nights Eddie fell in love with the singer. The singer understood and respected Eddie’s music. You go ahead and knock yourself out with that unfunny, chest beating version of Dave.
Hagar kept Van Halen alive after Roth made a power play and quit. For that, I’m grateful. I love them both. Can you imagine in Van Halen ended in 1984?
@@chrsgcom They had some good songs with Hagar. I am just tired of the constant whining by Hagar that Roth wasn't as good when everyone knows it is nonsense. Roth was 10 times the showman, Hagar could sing better. When going to a show, I would rather see a guy fly 10 feet off of the drum riser, than some guy you could hear off the album just as well. The constant insecurities from Hagar are exhausting.
I really liked Sammy with van halen. Dlr was just for show he didn't like Eddie he was jealous of Eddie he used Eddie so David could get laid. Sammy was a true friendship. He got less laid because Eddie got married. I could go on but I'm not. Anyway love ❤and miss u Van Hager .😢 Rip Eddie 😢
To be fair, Eddie wanted to go in the direction Van Hagar went. Dave steered the band away from that for the better, but Eddie and Dave were always on a collision course when it came to their musical visions. We are blessed to have the early Van Halen albums.
Roth era was a souped up 1970 Ford Torino with a 427 1500 H.P. Motor, going 180 m.p.h.- with a harem of women at the finish line. Sammie’s era was a 1977 Ford Pinto-- Dad Rock, let’s take the kids to the show and “rock out”. While the insufferable wife is getting ready to unload on you with a hoard of “Honey do lists” that she wants you to do, while she’s telling you to quit all your hobbies and only pay attention to her. Lmao!!😂
I don't even want to let this ridiculous video play. Sammy... just let it go. Do new music or retire, but DO NOT continue wasting fans with your ego. DLR was the part that helped Van Halen become huge! If you would have been the launching singer of the band, it would have been soft rock. Not better than Journey, but hitting the soft men and some women. It would not be a aggressive hard rock for men. Stop trying to live in other men's creative music...
Roth - Showman - not singer. Sammy smokes him as a singer in every way possible. Had VH come out with Hagar on the 1st records they'd have blown their Roth numbers outta the water. Sammy IS that much better.
Yet David Lee Roth sold more albums with the band than with Captain Candyass . Even the Greatest hits album with Dave is better. And the US Festival concert is better than the Live Without A Net video concert .
@@TheJpep2424 Furthermore , yeah more went to #1 BUT the sales petered out faster and Dave sold more in the end . Roth era will always outsell Van Hagar era
The music and songs were much better with Roth very few songs with Hagar were good and the guitar playing wasn't as good either mostly commercialized crap
VH with Dave put out 6 great albums. VH with Sammy put out 2 great albums and 2 mediocre ones. Now, Sammy is 20 times the musician that Dave is, but it don't change the numbers.

Sammy the songwriter : Some Kind of Alien come down on me, How Do I know when its Love and Sucker in a 3 piece vs. Take Your Whisky Home, I like the way the line runs up the back of the stockings and Nobody runs these streets at night like me The Atomic Punk......... Please Hagar is pedestrian in comparison with Roth's Lyrical Word Buffet. Sammy is a better singer but writer....not so much. Ymmv.
@@ricdale7813 lol lyrical word buffet...its self indulgent gibberish that means nothing to anyone but himself, even eddie and alex didn't know what he was talking about?
Van hagar sucked
Hagars by far better than roth. In van halen or not.
DLR is cringe, so are his legion of fanboys
Sammy sucks
Sammy sucks
