anyone who says hagar is expelled from the board and can't return until they can fully recite at least one song from each non-hagar album.

Sammy

case in point. i know you're too young to have listened to van halen when they were actually relevant, so ask your mom if she has any old tapes laying around and listen to the self-titled and II.

a lot of 80s bands were a lot better than they get credit for. throw in def leppard's hysteria and remember the good old days when rock bands were just about rocking and having a good time instead of bitching about how no one understands them and the world is so cruel.

 Diamond Dave by far...

 Greatest front man of all time...Axl. Greatest lead guitarist? Slash...

 Greatest vocalist? sebastian bach.

g'n'r was a great band but way overrated. they had one good cd and after that they got weird. no one cruises listening to use your illusion or the spaghetti incident. although it's hard to hate a guy who made up his name by mixing around the letters in "oral sex".  ;D

Bitch please! Maybe not 'spaghetti' but I have Use/Illusions 1&2 up in my ride right now. Coma, Estranged, Garden, You could be Mine, Double Talkin Jive...all bigtime JAMS! Civil war?

 I also have in my ride...Cinderella(Long Cold Winter/Night Songs) and everything by Poison.

 Cinderella was way underrated.

Sammy was better. He's back now? - please confirm.

Dave had all the moves but Sammy is/was a better singer and could get a better range from the band..

not my speed so much. far as i'm concerned those are the load and reload of g'n'r, and the only good song to come out of them was november rain which ended up being overplayed like crazy. poison had their moments, i liked twisted sister myself. and of course, def leppard.

Guns was definitely the one band of the 80s that could have been big...I mean Stones big.......all the songs you listed kick ass, as well as Don't Cry, Knockin on Heavens Door

AC/DC.

And no, Bon Scott wasn't THE man.

Brian Johnson owns Scott's ass.

Thunderstruck.

didn't listen to much saxon, but everyone loves priest. he was one of the first real metal figures. no surprise at all that he was gay, but still badass.

they definitely could have been, corinth, but my point is they didn't. the band just fell apart because axl was a dumbass. all that potential, there ain't a band out there who had a better debut.

dude, Roth was the man.  plain and simple.  Van Halen, Fair Warning, and II were some of the most kick ass albums out.  I got em all in my ride.  I dont care for hagar halen at all

I agree, they could have been one of the greatest but threw it all away with too much ego.

If you're a Def Lep fan you need to get a copy of "Retroactive" if you don't have it. Lots of their harder stuff and b sides. It's great and a must have for a Lep fan.
