Sammy Hagar or David Lee Roth

[WarriorAngel]

So which is it?

 

[CrusaderKing]

DLR

Why have a poll when the decision should be unanimous?

 

[WarriorAngel]

I am curious.

 

[Benedicta00]

Which is it for what? Van Halen?? DLR but Sammy Hagar was cool too. I say was because it's been 20 years.

 

[WarriorAngel]

I heard Van Halen on the radio when picking up my daughter from cheerleading..so I wondered...

Which one was better?
Who do you [anyone] like.? etc etc

 

[JacktheCatholic]

Van Halen rocked with David. Sammy had summer nights and cant drive 55 but they still could not compete with David in Van Halen.

 

[BillH]

As good Catholics, aren't we supposed to say Gary Cherone?

 

[BAFRIEND]

I think ZZ was better than Roth.

 

[tadoflamb]

I couldn't stand either one one of them but David was a lot better than Sammy.

 

[BAFRIEND]

According to the divorce papers filed by his ex-wife- Mick Jagger got caught in bed with David Bowie.

But the Rolling Stones was and still is the greatest band of all time.

I dislike David Lee Roth and I loathe Sammy Hagar, but up until about Diver Down or so VH was an undeniably great band. I think they would have been better without a singer, but whatya gonna do? Rock and roll doesn't get much better than the intro to Ain't Talkin Bout Love.

Also this is what an debut album's tracklist is supposed to look like:

Runnin' With the Devil
Eruption
You Really Got Me
Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love
I'm the One
Jamie's Cryin'
Atomic Punk
Feel Your Love Tonight
Little Dreamer
Ice Cream Man
On Fire

Extremely poor choice of a singer (get it?)? You know how sometimes someone does something and you're embarrassed for them? That's how I felt about VH3.

 

[WarriorAngel]

I love Jamie's crying...
But ya know, Diamnond Dave probably was the reason behind alot of tears.

Well, if he could get past himself and actually love someone else...maybe he would be the one singing for the guy crying! Ack.

I simply do not like DLR because his ego supercedes him.

Sammy...eh. He is ok. He didnt annoy me so much.

 

[Benedicta00]

DLR was Van Halen and Sammy Hagar did better as a solo than DLR ever would or could but one of my favs is "Why can't this be love?"

 

[WarriorAngel]

Yea, like that song alot too.

'Why can't this be love' vs...
'Ain't talkin bout love...' [Cos I am rotten to the core]
SEE how their personalities are oceans apart??

Sammy can sing. Its more his personality too, that over shadows DLR [for me anyway]

Also in every video DLR hogged the cameras. It was always about him. And it bothered me.
I guess his personality did it for me...

Not that I am saying he isnt a good singer.. its just that HE KNOWS IT... know what I mean?
Humble he is not.

 

[Benedicta00]

No, I never was a DLR fan.

And until Sammy Hagar joined VH he wasn't well known down here. He never came here nor was there any promotion of him.

 

[WarriorAngel]

Ya never heard 'Cant drive 55...' ??

 

[Benedicta00]

Ya never heard 'Cant drive 55...' ??

I have but that's because I had a friend who also lived in Dallas so I saw him in Dallas many times but here, no, he was not popular. "Heavy Metal" was cool, in fact I have that soundtrack somewhere up in my attic.

I voted for Sammy Hagar because I tend to like romantic sentimental songs and he had more good ones in that category (Well, to the extent that hard rock can be romantic or sentimental ) that David Lee Roth. I'll admit if my tastes were a little different, I might easily go the other way. Hager just did more stuff that fits into the general framework of what I like. The band always rocked with some really wicked guitar licks, but that was the Valen Halen brothers themselves and not either of the lead singers, right?

I'll admit I tend to usually prefer soft rock like Peter Cetera and stuff (With some exceptions), so I'm not sure my vote should count anyhow. I do own a two-disc best of Valen Halen CDs somewhere, though. And I've always been fond of Rush. And grew up with some of the grunge rock of the early 90s like Nirvana and Pearl Jam. And actually like Velvet Revolver a bit. So it's not like I hate hard rock, but I'm more often found listening to something really soft and sappy.

 

[Benedicta00]

And I've always been fond of Rush

Spirit of the Radio and Free Will are the best. Rush's lyric were intelligent.
