If it ain't with DLR, I ain't interested in Van Halen.

AGREED 1000 PERCENT!! David Lee Roth WAS Van Halen. Hasn't been the same since. :(

OMGosh, you can't be serious. The DLR era was awesome, but the Hagar years were equal or perhaps even better. Its like '64 Mustang convertible vs. '04 Pathfinder, both completely different but both outstanding in their own niche. "Dreams", "When Its Love", and the intro to "Love Walks In" are unsurpassed.

As much as "Van Hagar" gets ragged on(I have every VH CD except the Gary Cherone one), I think it's is actually good(although there's no substitute for the original bands) and I can listen to several of their CD's straight through. I compare it to both versions of AC/DC and the new/old Skynyrd. 5150, OU812, Live, and VH I, and VH II are all some of my favorites that I can listen straight through over and over.

I was a little kid when DLR/EVH split the first time(Jump is the first song I really remember), so I started hearing Van Halen and Van Hagar around the same time so everything was new to me.

And I remember the "Poundcake" video well. One of the last great metal videos on MTV before that whining feel sorry for my self grunge and later on that boy brand weak crap came around.

You mean if it ain't with the DLR of 25 years ago, it ain't Van Halen. If DLR went out with them today it would be an embarrasment.
