Sammy Hagar Still Upset About Van Halen's Rock Hall Induction

Voice go's to Sammy.....Showman Ship go's to David Lee Roth. I still like the older stuff with David Lee Roth because it wasn't as poppy.

Everyone has their opinions and it will be debated for years (tells me both Van Halen & Van Hagar deserve credit)... Ive been a die hard fan since the beginning and finally quit giving a shit when they kicked out Mike, Proved to me that all the rumors that Eddie was a dick were true.....

MICHAEL ANTHONY CAN SING! BOY DOES HE RIP THE HARMONIES AND ALL OR MOST OF THE BACK GROUND SINGING ON ALL VH SONGS. FROM WAY BACK IN THE 70'S WHEN VH STARTED. IT WAS MICHAEL ANTHONY. SHOW UP AND GROW SOME BALLS. SAMMY ROCKED AND SO DOES M.A.! GIVE THEM BOTH LOTS OF CREDIT! VH WOULD NOT BE HERE IF IT WASN'T FOR THOSE TWO.

Like Jeff Shamonsky, I too grew up listening to Van Halen from the late seventies and agree that anyone who recorded a /or any songs with the band should have been in attendance.David Lee Roth was with the band from the start when they were called Mammoth and was the front man when Van Halen took the world by storm however, like alot of bands with their original members or not, change their sounds or come up with something different. When Sammy "took over" they created a new sound and it was in my opinion great.I have seen Van Halen perform in both indoor and outdoor venues numerous times and they always put on a great show.My opinion(s)after seeing both David and Sammy perform are that David sounded different at different shows and would seem to loose interest and/or energy at times (perhaps he was catching his breath) whereas Sammy who could play the guitar and the harmonica was always energetic and also had some of his own songs to add to the show which to me was cool because it added to the "arsenal" used at the show.It would have been real cool if everyone could have gotten along but that's just human nature especially when dealing with huge egos like David's and perhaps everyone else's too.Who knows what goes on behind the scenes.Mike Anthony's voice is in most all Van Halen songs and it is hard to replace but I hope that Van Halen continues to tour for a long time.Still I can't understand why for just one night the members couldn't put differences aside and accept their award of induction to the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame...What A Shame!

Sammy Hagar sucks balls. Anyone that says Van Hagar outsold the Roth era is full of sh*t. Look up the numbers on RIAA, posers. Hagar is crap. Yeah, he saved VH (eyeroll). VH coming off the biggest album and tour in their careers and they needed Sammy to save them. Give me a break. He took them down the road to pop/rock hell with such barnburners as "Why Can't This Be Cheese" and "How Do I Know When It's Cheese". Thanks for the memories, Sam. Now, go back to your band Chickensh*t and stfu.

I agree with Van Hagar. David Lee Roth is a talentless P.O.S. Who would want to hook up with him to record an album, and if they did, I would hope they could write the songs, you know Roth can't. I can count good VHalen songs on one hand, the ipod is load with VHagar. I read Hanks' blog, that's probably Eddie there, you sound very intelligent. Keep rocking Sammy and Mike, bring Chickenfoot to StL.

Sammy saved VH. If he had not come on board when Roth's ego finally dwarfed Eddie's, we would not have had the pleasure of hearing the best of VH. I do believe the scalping and anticts to screw the fans led to the early exit for Sammy, he would have never agreed to it. How's still rock'in out new tunes, oh yea it's Sammy and M. Anthony.

Chickenfoot one Hell of a Band...KEEP IT LOAD SAMMY

Hagar was a rock star, before Van Halen was signed. Sammy sing's & play's guitar& write's music. Roth is a no talent leech. When you play Van Halen's early recording's you can hear the cuts's in the tape because Roth can't keep time! Sammy will away's make money, he dose not need VH. Don't get me wrong Van Halen is a Great Band.Eddie's Label made him fire Hagar............

Hey wtf. Sammy Hagar is ten times the singer of roth that is #1. Second i have been following Vanhalen since i was a kid. Or roughly around 1978. The fact of the matter is they all should of been there. Any one who ever recorded a song within that band should of been there. It seems to me (and please note you may never find a bigger fan of this band) Eddie and Alex need to wake the f upp. They have let countless oppurtunities slip away and they are not getting younger. Even if you didnt like Sammy ... How do you explain the snub of Michael Anthony???? Any one who ever listened to a VH album knows how important he is to that band. ...And by the way went to last concert with roth and he sucked. sammy hagar joined that band in 1985 and they were never better than when they had him.. I grew up listening to roth and hagar. the only way i see any one liking the roth era more is because EDDIE was a much better player back then so his recorded stuff was 100 times better. Not saying Eddie isnt good now, he is. But solos like from meanstreet and others you just dont get anymore. Bottom line they all need to go on tour together. Play for four hours. No opening act do it in outdoor stadiums in the summer and have even a intermission in between singers.
