Also Van Halen kept out of politics, unlike the kissa$$ers of today to the hollywood left.
Have fun, RIP Eddie Van Halen.
Half the fun of Van Halen was listening to them talk about the infighting in the group. Some of it was amusing (listening to Sammy Hagar talk about his tour with Dave). Some was nasty (what Eddie did to Michael Anthony). The music was great throughout.
Agree. An adequate singer but a charismatic frontman.
Roth was good early on when he would actually do his job....later on he got lazy.
Sammy is a better all around person IMO, Roth has always been a proper jerk and I’ll give you a perfect example.
When Eddie Van Halen once finished a stint in rehab for substance abuse Roth sent him a case of liquor......only an asshole would do something like that.
Kudos to recording/sound engineers Don Landee and Peggy "Mac" McCreary, interesting interview here:

I’m trying to care.
Quit the gossip.
Might as well jump....................
I don’t feel tardy...
I never liked Roth. He always struck me as phony as hell. Watched him on Rogan not too long ago and it completely confirmed my opinion. He is like somebody playing David Lee Roth/Diamond Dave.
I wish I could have seen them back in the day when they were a hot band. Instead, I saw them on there last tour. Earth Wind and Fire opened for them, they were great. Eddie was great, Alex was great and Wolfie was good too. Diamond Dave couldn’t remember the words to songs he has been singing for years. Very disappointed.
He was hot for his teacher.
I will have some brown M&M’s in his honor.
Actually the reason for specifying no brown M&M’s was to make sure they read the rider carefully. Pretty smart.
A little Dave goes a long way.
That gee-tar playing changed my life in 1979 but the lyrics just made no sense.
Probably one of the least spiritual celebrities I have ever seen. Life is just one big party, girls, music, laughs........
I wonder if he has ever for even a moment, pondered the meaning of life and a Creator God’s purpose for us.
Sammy Hagar was a better singer. David Lee Roth was a better front man. The dynamic between Dave and Eddie Van Halen created much more interesting music.
David Lee Roth is a better showman, Sammy Hagar is a better musician. Roth was great when MTV came along with the videos! Roth, right place, right time.
Heart David Lee Roth, he’s my only rock & roll crush!
