Pointless question but a good excuse to talk VH;
DLR was the quintessential sight & sound of VH, Hagar wasn't in any respect. It's not about who was technically better, which completely misses the point.
DLR's arguably the best frontman in rock history based on stage presence, attitude & talent. Better than more aclaimed legends who've benefitted from much longer careers & exposure touring with the same group.
Van Halen was discovered by Gene Simmons of Kiss.
After a demo of songs produced on KISS's equipment, they went national touring with KISS-nice combo!
David Lee Roth IS Van Halen
not really. If that was the case he'd have been a popular solo artist and he couldn't sell shit as far back as 88.
Silly; solo careers don't have much correlation to one's value in a group context. Too many examples of this that your tiny brain hasn't even considered, apparently. Besides which, he did well initially, which contradicts the thesis. Stupid. Other guy's right DLR IS VH (combined with Hagar).
