I prefer to say there is no Van Halen without Eddie, but Sammy Hagar is NO David Lee Roth. Diamond Dave rocks!

Dave's a fruit. Was not at all sad to see him go after he started dressing and acting more like Elton John than a straight up a rocker.

You mean Diamond Dave rocked about 25 years ago, until he became a walking cliche. You DLR fans want the DLR of many years ago, he ain't coming back. I think Eddie and Alex should have tried to start something new without the baggage and expectations that come along with using the VH-moniker. Now they are demoted to being just another nostalgia band.
