DLR fans, give it a break, we know where you stand, and check out some recent Van Halen vids with Diamond Dave, sad really.
For the rest of us, let the videos flow. Van Hagar doing Sammy tunes then:  Hagar now doing Sammy tunes now as a 70 year old man: Comparison: Van Halen with DLR today. |

I remember when they were popular. I don't remember them ever being "good" and relistening to their catalog confirms this.

Hagar even does Led Zep with his new band with Led Zep drummers son on drums.
70 years old isn't shuffle board and checkers at Boca Del Vista anymore. |

I just saw them a couple weeks ago. Eddie can still play, but David Lee Roth quit trying about 1/4 of they way through the show... he sang about half the lyrics to the songs. Referring to the crowd, he said to Eddie: "Man, these guys suck!"
I always wanted to hear Eruption played live... it was awesome, but they are dead men walking. |

Van Halen now is just some old guys trying to keep it going whatever that might be. Sammy actually puts on a pretty good show, |

Don't get me wrong, the Red Rocker is a great stand alone artist but he has the uncanny ability to suck the life out of any group of great musicians and make the mediocre at best (much like Ted Nugent).

Saw 'em with Roth and later with Hagar, enjoyed both concerts very much... but I was a SH fan long before he was with VH and still am, so I'd be lying if I didn't say I preferred them with him to without him.
And right or wrong, whether he is or not, DLR always strikes me as a douchebag extraordinaire.

Honestly, these kinds of bands have no business performing live now, it's an obvious money grab. |

I came in at 1984 due to age, and then backtracked my way through the previous albums. I lived Van Hagar as it was happening. Essentially different bands, and I liked them both for what they were. EVH appears to be a world class asshole. Backing vocals suck without Anthony. I saw them a year or two ago in Houston. I won't be paying to see them again. |
