I like Roth and Hagar equally, just like with Ozzy and Dio in Sabbath, one had the cult of personality but the other had the musical finesse, both worked

i like how you share your opinion even though nobody cares
Dylan Stewart
It's obviously Dave.
Isaiah Harris
hagar didn't have any charisma and he always sounded like some dude just singing. Dave is full of soul, Hagar isn't.
Alexander Moore
The songs were just better in the Dave years
Carson Reyes
I disagree one hundred percent. Dave just sounds cooler and more sly while Sammy comes off as a bit corny or saccharine in comparison, but he has ten times more soul because he actually has a voice with range in the first place. This can be backed up by the fact that while Sammy can pull off DLR era songs, Dave wouldn't be able to touch anything from the Hagar era, similar enough once again to Ozzy and Dio.
Nathan Ortiz
Hagar is the better singer without a doubt, but he still can't make a song nearly as fun as Dave could. Hagar is only good for ballads, and we both know if he was the original vocalist for VH, nobody would be talking about them 30 years later just like nobody talks about chickenfoot now. Van Halen 1 and 5150 are in two entirely different leagues
Ryder Hughes
John Powell
Those are my two favorite albums desu. And yeah, I'm not downplaying DLR's importance, I just think Sammy era was equally good albeit in a completely different way.

Sammy Hagar just feels like another corporate Foreigner/Doobies-style commercial arena rocker.
Hunter Ward
dave might be a mess, but he made the most compelling and fun music with VH and that is inarguable
this is the only hagar song i like

The Red Rocker was a baddass in his early Montrose days.

Eddie was more to blame for the change in direction. He got what he wanted, which was total control of the band and an obedient puppet frontman who'd execute his orders without question, and he was also getting older and wanted to make more chill music.
Ryan Sanchez
this guy gets it
Juan Martinez
There are plenty of rockers within the Hagar years though, I think of it more as a versatility thing....they could do hard rock songs and also softer stuff Dave wouldn't have really meshed with

5150 [Warner Bros., 1986]
Wonder how the guitar mavens who thought Eddie equalled Van Halen are going to like his fireworks displays and balls-to-the-wall hooks now that video star David Lee Roth has given way to one of the biggest schmucks in the known biz. No musician with something to say could stomach responding to Sammy Hagar's call, and this album proves it. C+

I want to be entertained and treated to ear candy, musicians =/= politicians
Brody Roberts
Critics are morons because they think politics is the highest form of artistic expression when it really just amounts to yelling at your TV after watching the evening news.
Christopher Brown
Political music is ok if it's just generalized ideas like Blowin' In The Wind. Stuff like Living With War is embarrassing and cringe af.
Gabriel Martin
dave was faggot tier with a badass band and producer to prop him up. sammy actually had some skill up his sleeves. anyone who disagrees is the worst kind of dad rocker and hasnt even checked out sammys solo shit.
