Diamond Dave.
The ones unfamiliar with Cherone please check out Pornograffitti and Three Sides To Every Story by Extreme. Amazing 5 star albums.

It's a great album Raff and well worth getting hold of. Melodic metal with a funky vibe and some fantastic guitar playing.
Oh yeah, nearly forgot, I voted Roth. I much preffered Hagar when he was in Montrose. Edited by Nightfly - 09 Apr 2010 at 1:30pm |

Hagar by miles, he is more of a singer and less of a clown (never could stand Roth)

It is a wonder that we didn't get killed as kids blasting "Got One Foot Out The Door Tryin' to hit the road" while driving in the car.

Can you imagine Hagar singing the acapella section in "I'm the One"?
That would have failure written all over it. Edited by NJCat_11 - 07 Apr 2010 at 6:37pm |

exactly... Scott was dead on... Ice Cream Man was not... a good song.. and Van Hagar was markedly better in making pop-rock.. pop metal if you want to call it that. However if you want to talk favorite... you can bury my ass 7' under that day I look to ability.. talent (which yes.. Sammy was a better singer) OVER pure enjoyment.. and Van Halen with Dave was pure guilty pleasure for many... it was simply fun to listen to.. fun to see in concert. A party. A blast to hear an over the top DLR.. and Eddie proving to the world HE was the guitarist of the ages... once he had.. musically... they went into cruise-control and churned out radio friendly music during Van Hagar. Again.. not bad.. but not what many people fell in love with Van Halen for.. Edited by micky - 07 Apr 2010 at 6:31pm |

I do respect Dave as a show man... he is unique... but you see... is about favorite Singer and that my friend is Sammy... yes... I would pick Right Now and Why Can't this be love before every other song from Dave era, except for... yeah... Eruption...

ahhh... see... if Rush had replaced Geddy Lee with say... Greg Lake.. a far superior 'singer' and an equal talent on the bass... would Rush still be Rush. In the eyes of many.. no way in hell they would be. That is the same for many VH fans. sure Sammy was a better singer... but for many.. including me... you listened to Van Halen not for good songs.. like 'Right Now'? Huh..Great song.. but not the Van Halen that people took to.. a kickass band with a bitchin guitarist and a larger than life front man who did as much as Eddie to make VH... well.. Van Halen. |

Dave has no voice... Haggar in the other hand is a wonderful singer and fit the spot with success.... A thousand times Haggar before Dave... love your avatar Micky, "those who are taken by the dark side..."

my first CD.. remember it well... sparing you another Micky war story.. but it is a good one
Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon wonder who many people had that one as their first CD 'upgrade' after all we had heard about the superior sound of the CD's
you know... that makes perfect sense.. and probably spot on. Since we are talking the singer.. the front man... you can see why so many consider Dave to THE singer for Van Halen... I mean really.. if Sammy had been fronting Van Halen.. would Jeff Spicolli have hired Van Halen to play his birthday party.. I think not |

OU812 was one of the very first CDs that I ever owned. The day I bought my first CD player I also bought OU812 and Cinderella's Long Cold Winter. OU812 got tons of plays from me. I had 1984 on cassette tape, and that got worn out by so many plays. I know a lot of people don't like the 80's synths on that one, but that is one of my all time favorite albums. Jump; Panama; Hot For Teacher; Top Jimmy; 1984; etc... it was just an awesome album. I kind of ignored 5150 when it came out. I refused to make the switch to Sammy until I bought OU812 and loved it. It really is hard to say which album I prefer. They were my favorite band in my youth before Rush took that position. I think that the songs are better during the Sammy era, but more fun during the David Lee Roth era, if that makes any sense. But I'm still not sure who to vote for yet.
