RESIDENT ROCK PROFESSOR
We all are kinds : well musiciansEd and his brother were a couple of pricks from what I can tell, I don’t know how either of these guys managed to spend any time with them at all.
I couldn't agree more ............. I don't think I've seen an interview in the last 20 years from him that he hasn't stated how " butt hurt " he is from being excluded from the band .... and it's everyone else's fault but his own ....Never understood why Hagar is so insecure about his place in Van Halen. Sold alot of albums with them, did big tours, had a ton of success that he never would have attained as a solo artist. His tenure in VH afforded him the opportunity to start his Cabo Wabo bar which resulted in eventually selling his Tequila brand for hundreds of millions.
The guys is worth over a 150 million and yet he constantly not only reminds everyone but over exaggerates his accomplishments in Van Halen and in the process has to put Roth down.
He is a weird insecure dude.

I agree with you all . Fuck perfect singing or whatever . Dave was SOMETHING in a package that better than that . The SOMETHING is what made him a start . It’s not in everyone .I couldn't agree more .............

Roth is this ....Roth is that .... he's nuts .... too eccentric ... space shot ... wildman ... etc .. etc ..
I mean shit ... all those reasons are why I love Diamond Dave !!
with all that said ... I like the Van Haggar stuff a lot ...... but it's a totally different band ( animal )
two totally different bands ... IMO .....
Bingo !You know why Sammy is insecure and still does this ? One thing only : the VAN HALEN fan base and history of rock will all ways like the Dave version better
Same with all of itIt's always interesting how offputting it is to hear somebody talk trash about someone else in an interview.
That said, I still dig both the Roth and Hagar eras.
Agreed but he's still part of the history. The richest member in the band that can not only tour behind his solo stuff but his Van Hagar stuff, at this point in his life why should he care. Fragile insecure ego is all it is.You know why Sammy is insecure and still does this ? One thing only : the VAN HALEN fan base and history of rock will all ways like the Dave version better
Fair point but then the verbal diarrhea starts about Dave and how his version was more successful when all it takes is quick google search to disprove that as Roth's version outsold his 2 to 1.Honestly I think Sammy is asked a lot about his days in VH by interviewers. It is by far the most interesting thing to ask him about really. And his comments probably generate more clicks than anything else he talks about. I love both eras and do not hold any of it against him. None of it matters anymore. VH is over forever. None of these guys in the band were choirboys either.
