Sammy Hagar "David Lee Roth is a weird guy"

[IroNat]

[CalvinH]

VanHagger sucked

[Gym Rat]

Hagar is a much better singer than Roth, but Roth had the better VH albums. I never liked the VH with Hagar.

I saw the final VH tour (2 dates) and Roth sucked pretty bad. Just talking the lyrics, making the crowd sing half the songs, etc.
Seeing Alex and Eddie live was fun, but it was very far from prime VH...

I saw Roths solo band as well in the early 2K's, also sounded bad vocally...

You can see Sammy's twitter up top there. For 75, he's really sharp, you'd think you were dealing with someone 20 years younger. Someone pointed that out a few weeks ago when people were talking about all these politicians self destructing.

I wen't to the original Monsters of Rock at the Meadowlands in NJ back in the day.
Metallica played before VanHagger.


....Did not go well for VH, they got blown out of the water and fans were leaving during their set.

The whole interview audio from the 9/15/15 show, 27:00 to pick it up from above video:

All of the VanHagar albums reached #1. I think every album after Roth reached #1 but I may be wrong.

They were very radio friendly and popular for sure with general pop/rock audience, thats what really sells albums...
Hardcore VH fans though, many werent happy...

Metallica did that to a lot of bands - Dokken, Ozzy, etc

I actually missed that concert for work, but all my friends were at that Medowlands show.

Classic VH is a weird thing for me - loved their songs, but now when I hear them, all the dialogue in the songs is fuckin' gay, and so is DLR's squealing (you really got me, etc).....Unchained is so cool, but the dialgue ruins it.....shit like that

Dedicated employee of peace….

Yeah right...

Here’s what actually happened


His ex, Robin, wanted to ‘get back together’, so he went to be with her. His best friend Rick was “ready to rock”, but Rick was stuck at the concert alone (I don’t know why he puts up with it)

And it wasn’t a Metallica concert, it was Soundgarden

BTW: he ended getting stalked by a guy who claimed to be named Larry Tate, but he eventually found out that his real name was Jean-Luc Picard.

I saw Metallica (Master of Puppets) open for Ozzy (Ultimate Sin). Both fantastic performances.
Jake E Lee was something else on guitar.

Cliff on Bass for Metallica (he died during this tour), glad I got to see Cliff as he was a big influence on my own playing back then...

Scorpions kicked their ass too

You gotta feel bad for Dokken. Don Dokken begged the producers to let them go on before Metallica

I went there to see King George, Metallica, Eddy, and the Scorps

IMO Crue kicked Ozzy’s ass in 83 on the SATD tour

to be fair van halen is the only band i know of where the original singer left and they had pretty good success with another lead singer. 

[deadz]

Roth is weird but seems to do it intentionally to get a rise.

Yeah I wen't to that tour also and your right Jake E Lee was great but to me Metallica stole the show.
Ozzy was in the period where he was influenced by the LA music scene of the time and the band was all in spandex and poofed up hair and Mettalica was just performed in jeans and t-shirts.

True but the band was so much better then before the synthesizers and it was just awesome guitars and monster drums.
