*shrug*

I enjoy both.

Van Roth songs were a little more raw and energetic. But Eddie’s playing only got MORE creative and interesting during Van Hagar. I absolutely love some of the riffs on 5150, OU812 and F.U.C.K.

Even “Amsterdam” from Balance has some pretty badass guitar playing even though the lyrics are stupid (“wham-bam, Amsterdam, yeah-yeah-yeah…”)

That’s not to say that Roth’s lyrics couldn’t be stupid too. And the Van Roth albums all sounded like crap because Ted Templeman was such a Roth sycophant and mixed the songs how Roth wanted them.

DLR without a doubt, I still listen to those cds on occasion. Hagar might be cool in person, but that doesn’t mean his music was any good.

On an eight hour roadtrip, I had all of Van Halen’s Catalog queued up on my ipod. I quickly tired of the Van Hagar material…although the last couple of CD’s were better, they do not stand up to the DLR era of Van Halen.

No contest – It would be more of one if Van Hagar had some decent songs.

I have more respect for Sammy Hagar because he’s chill and doesn’t get caught up in all of the petty little fights. He’s the only one who actually SHOWED UP when they got inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame.

Wait, you have the power to ban people?! There are about 152 new commentors who need to be banned.

Agree with the just about everyone up there. Hagar: cooler. DLR: better and more Eddie.

I think VH’s music with Roth is more fun, dangerous, charming, and in keeping with the spirit of rock’n'roll. Not to say the Hagar albums are bad, but they always seemed a bit more “adult contemporary” (i.e. stuff for stuffy old grownups).

As far as personality, I agree that Sammy, being more laid back, would probably be cooler to hang with. Roth seems like a really high maintanence kind of person. But, you never know.

At least with DLR there was a pretty good portion where Eddie played guitar!
