Van Hagar was the far better band, Hagar a far better musician and singer; and I was praying for a reunion tour — They absolutely rocked live with Hagar at the helm. That said, Van Halen, under Roth, put out far better music. But, contrary to what many think, that isn’t the result of Roth being replaced by Hagar — It was the direction Van Halen wanted the band to go, and that music would have been written regardless of who was the frontman.
Fuck, I even loved that time when Gary did the album... took years for me to like it, but there were a few pretty good ones on there... but WACF and FW were still my favorites... and I know they hated it, but DD was awesome too...
Sammy Hagar or David Lee Roth?
I agree. Didn't care for the Hagar era albums full of love songs.

Is this a serious argument? Lol
