The original line up with David Lee Roth.....or the later lineup with Sammy Hagar.

Drop Dead Legs... that song changed my life. Seemed that every time I saw a really hot girl I would hear that song in my head...

One of those songs that a girl in daisy dukes and a bikini top can really wash a car to. :)

Van Halen with DLR....all the way. Because Eddie is the reason I started playing guitar
I still listened when Hagar came in but not like when Roth was in the band. 
I liked Van Hagar despite sammy...
I liked Van Halen because of Roth/EVH.

The first Van halen album and Fair Warning are my two favorites...
Favorite song....gotta be "On fire !!" r*%

Post by: Stu on July 10, 2008, 11:52:21 PM
I voted, and it's a definite vote for DLR.  Van Hagar was ok, but DLR brought the crazy, party energy to the band, and Eddie -- well what can you say?  I like all the VH stuff with DLR, but one thing I will never forget is the first time I saw the video for Panama with DLR flying across the stage... what a madman.  Hangin' with that band must have been like living in party central.

Van Halen was never Van Halen for me after DLR left the band. And yes I voted............ O0

You've gotta feel a little bit sorry for Sammy when you see the results of the poll.

Sammy Hagar --- unless DLR got a personality transplant

Sammy rocks, I was listening to him before I'd heard of Van Halen.  But Van Halen wasn't the same without DLR.
Title: Re: Van Halen With David Lee or With Sammy Hagar?

while Van Hagar was good, Van Halen was DLR. It was 2 different bands really. I got to go with the original line up.
Title: Re: Van Halen With David Lee or With Sammy Hagar?
Post by: schro on July 14, 2008, 08:51:40 PM
The original sound of Van Halen with DLR was one of a kind.
That being said, I actually think it was a better band with Sammy on lead vocals.

Like Medic, I was listening to Hagar before Van Halen. Standing Hampton still stands as one of my all time favorite albums.

OMG SAMMY ALL THE WAY!!  I never could stand David Lee "Broth"... I once smoked a bunch of hashish at his old VH concert and fell asleep, thats how little DLR did for me...
I know Im gonna piss alota guys off but thats my truth so phhhhhtttttt!   :P

I grew up with the DLR so he will always be the real lead singer of Van Halen. 

Having said that, ever since he had that short lived radio show in New York when he replaced Howard Stern, he kind of creeps me out.

I think he lost is mind.

Post by: Stu on July 26, 2008, 10:14:44 PM
stemikger,

I think he has lost his mind.  I don't know if it was a link from this site, but I remember seeing a video of him doing a cover of a country song (I think), and it was downright scarey and pathetic.  Talk about the glory days being over for him.  I saw that Mick Jagger just turned 65.  You may not like him or whatever product he puts out there today, but he is still Mick Jagger.  DLR... who knows?

Van Hagar all the way. He may not be the original one...but I really can't stand David Lee Roth. The man is a stupid nut job. Did I mention I don't like him? Oh, his voice is like nails on a chalkboard to my ears. RUNNING WITH THE DEVIL!!! Well, keep running...don't turn back! Keep going! Hell suits you and your horrible 'music'.

Seriously though, I am not all that passionate about it...I just don't care for the man.

There would be no Van Halen without Diamond Dave.  O0
Sammy just picked up where the real front man left off,
after that, the band didn't have any more hits.  :(

No hits with Hagar? Maybe they weren't hits to you, but I could say the same thing about the hits they had with Dave.

Post by: nomad on July 28, 2008, 07:09:10 PM
there were a few big hits with Hagar, but to me it was a different band and sound, still very good in its own right

Post by: xnewyawka on July 29, 2008, 11:00:39 AM
There was only one real Van Halen and it was fronted by DLR. I was into the band from the beginning, and while I did like them with Sammy too, it just wasn't the same band.
I felt they should have changed the name. It's like the whole Guns n' Roses debacle.
Without the rest of them, it's really not the same. Don't get me started on Axle   :/O

Ok...built a Van Halen playlist on Napster to jam to while I reorganize my office.

EXCLUDED ANY AND ALL VAN HAGAR STUFF  :x!  B@N!

I agree with nomad.  I grew up listening to the original Van Halen, but Van Hagar put out a few great songs too.  The original Van Halen wins by a great margin!

Good point, B.Weet....I would never be so narrow minded as to say anything "sucked" except maybe some of the rap sh*t....especially the hardcore gangsta rap

There was some good stuff by Van Hagar.   Part of the D. Lee is the era and the memories.... O0

Man you made the poll a little hard for me to vote on....I liked both of them...they each added their own flair....You should have put a topic that included both DLR and Sammy.......

NEITHER!!! GARY CHERONE WAS THE BEST VH FRONTMAN :*)) :*)) :*)) :*)) :*)) :*))

Honestly though, I gotta swim against the tide on this one and go with Sammy. He was with them when they recorded my fave VH song ever - "Judgment Day."
