Members lincoln40 Posted November 9, 2010 Members Share Posted November 9, 2010 So I discovered Van Halen about a year and a half ago. That's all I've been listening to pretty much since then. I really cant stand bands from my generation (Shinedown, Avenged Sevenfold etc etc). Van Halen was one of the greatest bands of all time. But I do not like them with Sammy Hagar. In my opinion Van Halen ended with the album 1984. Everything after that was a different band. Van Halen with Roth is an American tradition, like a 1960's Corvette and a slice of apple pie. Van Hagar is like having a diet soda or eating a Tofu turkey. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cratz2 Posted November 9, 2010 Members Share Posted November 9, 2010 I really like both versions of Van Halen... I grew up listening to it and I definitely prefer the Van Roth era, but Van Hagar had some solid songs and they sound more mature overall, but they almost sound like 'hard easy listening'. Actually, as landmark as VHI was, today I really think I prefer Women And Children First and Fair Warning over any other of their albums, closely followed by 1984. They were a force, to be sure!

Members Angry Tele Posted November 9, 2010 Members Share Posted November 9, 2010 Van Hagar had a few good songs, but for the most part Van Halen were 100xs better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van Hagar is like having a diet soda or eating a Tofu turkey. That is all. I agree...but I like tofu. The only thing that I really like about Sammy Hagar is his tequila. If you've never tried it then you're missing out. I didn't salt or lime when I had it...very smooth. It was like love came walking in and that's what dreams were made of...without the puking. ...and since you are relatively new to Van Halen...here is the guy who they say was the blueprint for David Lee Roth: I bet he freaked out a few people back in the day.

Members billybilly Posted November 9, 2010 Members Share Posted November 9, 2010 Don't really care for either. I was 17 when 1984 came out and it was good but not great. Everything for them there after was terrible. I was more into Pink Floyd, Zepplin and Judas Priest. And now, kids like that heavy cookie monster voiced metal, glad I grew up when I did. The 70's had real musicians, who wrote their own songs with lyrics you could understand. Cookie monster singers are wanna be devil children pretending to be something they are not. Probably scared pussies under it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members natasmi Posted November 9, 2010 Members Share Posted November 9, 2010 For the kid's out there, Everything you ever needed to know about Rock N' Roll can be learned from old Van Halen. The Bass, Drum, Vocals, and of course Guitar. If your clueless and just starting a band, listen and learn.Flawless formula. Now get in the garage and rock on!

Members tlbonehead Posted November 9, 2010 Members Share Posted November 9, 2010 I can listen to the stuff with Sam cuz it at least was a little punchier and more real. Not a fan of the earlier stuff at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
