David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar?

[Book Lover]

Poll question: David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar?

OK, we here at DU have been beating around the bush for too long - here's everyone's chance to be heard. Two choices, only one winner. Begin!

1. Sammy all the way...

Dave never could sing for shit...

[lovedems]

4. Sammy donates to republicans and thinks he was abducted by aliens!

I saw his campaign contributions on rawmeat just last night!

Here is what a quick google search brought up about Sammy and aliens

I can't support Sammy.:crazy:

2. FYI....

Sammy Hagar is a Repuke...A hypocritical one like all the others...

6. Well that's the end of that!

He's a Repuke, his music must suck!:eyes:

7. Hmmm...isn't music about reaching into the soul....

How can you reach into your soul and say onething? And do the exact opposite?

[phillybri]

9. A Republican can't make good music?

Are you serious?

[physioex]

11. No that's not what I am saying...

To me music isn't about singing, and guitars. If that's what it means for you, then don't read any furthur.

I have always felt an artist regardless of their form of expression reaches into their soul and looks into the abyss. You come back into the real world and talk about things we can do better. So in a sense you have let the art become an extension of yourself...

12. They might make OK music

but I sure as fuck won't buy it.

Especially now that Sammy's teaming up with Toby Keith. What an asshole.

They're both egomaniacal idiots, but VH has never been VH to me without Dave.

[Fovea]

10. I can't drive 55

has probably killed more Americans than 911.

Three lock box... I mean really...

3. Ave you SEEN Dave Roth lately?

He looks like absoulute shit (Can I say that here?)

Anyway- he looks like crap and doesn't sound as good as Sammy.

5. I was at Cabo Wabo once and Sammy was there

having his birthday party.. (He owns Cabo Wabo in Cabo San Lucas)


They set me and my friends at the table next to them because we were older and they wanted to keep the young drunks away from him.

Too funny.. he was pretty cool to us and I know appreciated the fact we didn't keep getting up yelling 'Sammy!' in a drunken drawl like the guys in the back were. LOL We got most of our meal free for serving as a barrier. :-)


But - I prefer David Lee Roth in the band.

8. Roth's singing reminds me of a coyote yelping.

13. What was Once Just Ain't Now!

Oh My God...Roth was there when it was kewl, then came Hagar.
I always thought Roth was a massive joke, now looking like he could have had a STROKE. Hagar was Hagar back then. But then became now and now it's become then, as Roth just might be kewl again.
Hagar a 'blican? Of course. Roth is a MESS and Eddie hates him with a passion. Maybe they all should retire and leave me in peace.

14. I like Sammy better as a singer... but hate his politics

[Bonhomme Richard]

15. No contest...It's David Lee

I can't drive 55. What kind of crap is that? Van Halen has never been the same without Roth.

[Iris]

16. DLR - before he lost all his hair

[Kat45]

17. IMO, Van Halen just wasn't Van Halen without Dave.

They didn't rock nearly as hard. I liked Sammy's solo stuff before he joined VH, but found the band pretty bland with him as the lead singer. The band was much more fun with Dave; he was quite a frontman, quite a personality. Unfortunately, he has aged poorly. I have trouble using the word "aged," because he's around my age, but when I see him now he seems so much older.

18. Dave. Sammy's never been much and Van Hagar was awful.

I dig them girls...
