The word on the street for decades was Patti Smyth of Scandal was asked to fill in for David. She declined stating she was an east coast gal and didn’t think she could adapt to the VH lifestyle.

Hall is more of a light rock/pop singer who wouldn’t cut it.

Sammy Hagar was a better choice.

I saw him touring behind his Utopia album around 1975. Great show!

Not sure I like the idea. It would be almost as bad as Michael McDonald joining the Doobie Brothers.
I never got over that. lol

I second that re: Daryl’s house…some of those songs he sounded better than ever, what a great distinct voice!

Todd was last seen with some guy named "Arron", pissing in the hall.
Todd is one of the most talented horrible jerks ever. Love his music as long as it's not any of his Utopia crap.

The weird thing is that Michael McDonald cowrote a Van Halen hit.
To: ropin71
What Celo Green did with I Can’t Go For That, and Sara Smile, put Hall and John Oates to shame. Wow did Celo nail those songs.

If Van H. is thinking of working as a legacy type act, they need somebody younger than Daryl Hall unless it’s a one time event. From what I have always heard, touring wears you down, and that’s fully believable.
Daryl is a great performer, but his voice and style are a distinct brand, even today. Todd is a creative and technical genius, but he now appears somewhat out of tune and crotchety with his wispy, four hue colored hair.
Todd’s early recordings will always seem ‘sacred’ to me, as they are well done pieces of music. Meanwhile, he has become RABIDLY Liberal, ready to preach the dogma at the drop of a hat.

I know he’s dead but I could have swore TR was as well.............

Hall and Rundgren, The Philly Roosters.
Todd explored the edges at all times. His Something Anything double album was so hard to top. That kind of success early on is hard to deal with. Name me one dog of a song on that double album.

Yes for sure. I also enjoy the songs with Rundgren, another distinct voice from a better time.

Todd did a great job producing XTC’s Skylarking.

Todd made an anti Trump video called “Man in the Tin Foil Hat” that was really a third rail. He put his foot right on it. Good art though.
