Van Halen is one of the most iconic rock bands in history, known for their blistering guitar riffs, bombastic drumming, and larger-than-life stage presence. But their history is also marked by a revolving door of lead singers, with David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar taking turns in the spotlight.
The history of Van Halen's vocalists is a complex one, marked by both triumphs and conflicts. Roth was the original lead singer, fronting the band from their inception in 1974 until 1985. During his tenure, the band released six albums and became one of the biggest rock acts in the world. But Roth's outsized personality and ego led to tension within the band, ultimately resulting in his departure.
Enter Sammy Hagar, who joined the band in 1985 and quickly became a fan favorite. With Hagar at the helm, Van Halen released four hit albums, including 5150, which became their first-ever Billboard number one. But even with Hagar in the band, tensions remained, particularly between him and Roth. Their feud has become a legend, with each singer taking shots at the other in interviews and on stage.
Hagar has been particularly vocal about his issues with Roth, both professionally and personally. In a recent podcast interview, he broke his silence on the feud, detailing his frustrations with Roth's antics and ego. According to Hagar, Roth was difficult to work with and often put his interests above the band. This led to tension between the two singers, which eventually boiled over into a bitter feud.
Despite the conflict, Van Halen continued to release hit albums and sell out arenas with Hagar at the helm. But even he wasn't immune to the revolving door of lead singers, as he left the band twice, with both departures coming with their own set of issues.
Ultimately, the legacy of Van Halen's vocalists is a mixed one, marked by both triumph and conflict. But no matter who was at the helm, the band always managed to put on an unforgettable show, thrilling audiences with their iconic sound and unforgettable stage presence. And even with the passing of Eddie Van Halen, his son Wolfgang continues to carry on his legacy with his one-man band, Mammoth WVH.
As the world continues to grapple with the loss of Eddie Van Halen, it's worth taking a moment to reflect on the band's incredible legacy, marked by their electrifying music and larger-than-life personalities. And as we look to the future, we can only hope that the spirit of Van Halen lives on, inspiring new generations of musicians and fans alike.

I like the music with both Sammy and Dave. They both had their personalities put in with the music and they fit well.
“Sammy breaks his silence.” That is effing hilarious. He has never ever ever shut up about VH since he left the band!!!!!
That’s because he & EVH didn’t part amicably.
He's a bitter old knob.
And he did leave . Hagar is still lying saying he was fired . His 🐂💩 started when he started bossing Ed around . And Ray Daniels saw it and asked about it . Contrary to Captain Candyass Ray Daniels is the reason for the split . Go look for yourself on a compilation of Van Halen clips I'm sure is from Howard Stern on CZcams . In one clip (circa Carnal Knowledge I'm guessing) Hagar says " This is MY band" and the next clip he says " Lead singer of the band leader of the band , what's the difference?" . He made a choice of doing the greatest hits album or QUIT . He QUIT . Again he's pulling this 🐂💩 saying he was fired . Now after all his book promotion he's lying again saying he was fired . And after all this 🐂💩 saying the Halen Bros was only in the business for the money LOOK WHO'S DOING A RIP-OFF ELEVATOR MUSIC VERSION CASH-GRAB TRIBUTE TO EDDIE . Sam is a Candyass two faced lying crybaby 😭
@@kennethmelnychuk9737It's because Ed didn't like Sam literally trying to become the leader of the band . As for Captain Candyass , he never shut up about Dave literally like an ex-wife #2 ; since he replaced Roth .
@@user-rt9zq8rs9k: Sammy replaced Gary Cherone
I do love the Roth albums, but Sammy has always been one of my favorite singers.
Sammy can throw a party… Dave IS the party!
This is my thoughts. In the early years, the only VH albums I cared about was the debut album and 1984. I played most of the songs on my drums and had a blast. All the other albums had great songs, but I only liked the ones played on the radio. I saw them in 1984 in San Francisco, music was out of tune and DLR couldn't sing as good as the studio albums sounded. I didn't think it was all that great.
Along comes Sammy. I fell in love with his voice and the range he had on vocals. I loved, and still love 5150, OU812, and For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. I wasn't a fan of Balance. It didn't seem like a VH band. I had hours of fun drumming to Sammy and VH.
With all that said, DLR was a good singer but not a fan. I think Sammy had the better voice and and when they performed, and I saw them 4 times, the music was spot on and it looked like they were having a blast. I will always be a Sammy Hagar fan of Van Halen.
A melhor face vocal do Dave foi até 81 depois disso ele começo a cair em qualidade !
Great post. I totally agree. I saw VanHagar in concert multiple times and they didn't disappoint. One of my favorite memories is watching Eddie play Poundcake using a power drill. Amazing. He was so gifted 😢❤
Sammy was my favorite singer due his great tone, power, range and ability to sing any song..
I like Dave voice in the early days also..he had nice tone!
Both Sammy and Dave produced historical great songs with Van Halen.
Ed was the architect (and the most demanding), Alex the momentum on drums, Dave the live ringleader and Mike...Mike? The Secret Weapon. Without him (despite his lack of songwriting input) was like a loud siren that got your attention. I liken his place in VH history to when Ringo joined the Beatles. It totally changed the dynamic of the band. Sad that MA was so unappreciated by 2004.
He played on and sang in Chickenfoot. He got to showcase his voice. I'm like he was VHs hidden talent. Shame because I blame Eddie for their numerous singers. Alex won't talk to anyone anymore and seems content in retirement. I never was a huge fan to begin with. I was growing into the NWOBHM and in the 80s thrash movement loving Slayer, Exodus! and Metallica.
Drummers have such a different role than bass players in rock bands. Drums are the most consequential instrument of a rock band. There are great bands with poor singers and guitarists, but there’s never been a great band with a poor drummer. Ringo was monumental for the Beatles success. Unfortunately the truth is bass players are the easiest to replace. It still changes the sound but it can be done easier than drums or guitar. Generally speaking.
I love them Both . VAN ROTH - Great Showman , VAN HAGAR - Great Singer
Us too! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
@@FactsVerse Anything about 80's era . Like Rock bands, Movies ,stars and Fashion will be great. Thank you my favorite channel
Vh with dlr is the mighty van halen! Sammy's version showed Eddie's melodic side of van halen both were great but nothing beats the original line up!
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. What is your favorite Van Halen song?
@@FactsVerse wow good question my only answer I can say is van halen have the best catalog of anyone so that's all I can say. No matter which song cones on the radio it just wants me to drive extra fast!lol 😂
Except the 2nd line up. 😂
Well said 👍
I've never liked the recorded music with Sammy as much as the Dave stuff. But live shows were a totally different story: Sammy gave his all and sounded great, but Dave sucked live because he was too much of a narcissist and he let the quality of the music suffer.... he didn't give concert goers their money's worth like Sammy did.
I liked both singers…however Sammy’s my favorite….I think it’s my favorite rock band by far….
Got it, thanks for sharing! Which Van Halen song appealed to you the most?
Well, for me… I like them both! Depending on my mood, and activities for the day, I choose which lead singer version accordingly
I freaking love both versions of the band! Can we stop the Civil War between Sammy and Dave!!! Both versions were top-notch!
You're a true fan! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
Agreed!! Stupid egos I swear!!! 2 way different Van Halen Bands. I liked them both!! Still remember the first time I heard Sammy on the radio with VH, Why can't this be Love.... raided my piggy bank and ran to the store! 5150! I already had all the Roth albums LOL! Nice first name as well!! LMAO🤣
Agreed!!
No. Sammy didn't cause Eddie's playing to blow others away like with David..
Yeah , tell lying Captain Candyass to STFU . Til the day he died Eddie Van Halen said Sam quit . Sam said so himself that he quit . And Dave has never said anything especially lately regarding Sam . Never. Sam is STILL the ex-wife from Hell .
As talented as Eddie was from all accounts he was was very difficult to deal with especially with what he did to Mike
When I was younger David Lee Roth was the quintessential showman of course I might have been under a controlled substance but as I grew and matured I listen to this music and understood that Sammy was a better singer
Thank you so much for your beautiful message to David! What is your favorite Van Halen song?
Favorite Dave song unchained favorite Sammy song when it's love
One of our favorites too, you've got taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
I'm a fan of both, but if I have to pick one, It's Sammy. DLR has lost his ability to sing and it was painfully sad hearing him attempt performing, he was like a lounge singer. Whereas Hagar has maintained his singing abilities. Just saw him last year at 74, and he was phenomenal.
Both eras were great!! Van Halen rocks!!
They bookended their career with Roth. The original Van Halen had guts and drive. Ed tuning down some mixed with Roth’s vocals did it for me. It was raw. When they returned to Roth for Me Wise Magic I was beside myself. I really thought the band I saw live in 1984 at age 12 was back. It’s too bad Roth didn’t try to concentrate more on his vocals live. It’s too bad egos didn’t get in the way.
The era with Sammy was too bright and tinny for me. It was largely due to Sammy’s vocal range and the vibe in the band at that time. Poundcake and Seventh Seal had some punch to them but nothing like I’m the One, Jamie’s Cryin, Mean Street, Sinner’s Swing, Unchained, Runnin with the Devil, Hang ‘em High, Dirty Movies, Somebody Get Me a Doctor, Girl Gone Bad, or House of Pain.
Again, they bookended their career with Roth which, for me, speaks to them squandering many years. It’s a shame.
You're completely right. It could have been worse, the Gary Cherone experiment, but Gary sings great for Extreme. They tried for the college crowd with Sammy and it worked a bit. The DLR years were the best of all, but I don't think he gave a shit too much later on. In some ways it was wasted talent. We just need to be happy with what we got out of them, remember, they always got our money! And they were spot on the first few years!
@@joereilly8925 Ed and Al got into moneymaking mode. Their greatest years had them hungry making great, driving, hard rock. Sammy seems like an okay guy. His stage antics were embarrassing. He simply tried too hard. He’s not a bad boy like Roth. His lyrics were/are a joke. Ed and Al shouldn’t have gone and trashed him and poor Michael who did nothing to no one. Ed then tried to pawn Cherone and the songs from that era too hard.
In some ways I wish they never went back to Roth. Ed said in 1996 that touring with Roth would be a disaster. It somehow wasn’t at the end. Ed knew he blew it. Al did too. Roth knew it in 1996 onstage at MTV awards. They squandered an amazing lineup and since Ed’s death it’s the only Van Halen I listen to.
Totally agree... Like going from a deluxe steak dinner to a piece of flavorless beef jerky found beneath your car seat.
We love you Mr Diamond!!!!
Personally I like the classic line up from the first albums but the sammy hagar stuff is alright
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
Roth was a necessity in the beginning. As Eddie's music matured they needed a Hagar voice range. Gary was not a Van Halen type. His home is with Extreme. Eddie's life was music. Period. He had a guitar in his hands most of the time and can't relate to other's with other hobbies. God bless them all.
Roth all the way🙌🏼
Glad to know that you're a fan of David! What do you think of Sammy?
My favorite Van Helen singer is: Sammy Hagar - hands down!!
My favorite Van Halen singer was Eddie's guitar. 😎👍
I love them both equally. Gary Cherone was much greater in Extreme. But you got a give it to the rest of VH band, they kept chugging along needing to keep making music no matter what singer.
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
Hagar is the best and still kicking ass
It's very hard to compare they are both great. Warwick
Diamond Dave from 74 to 84. Front row at the Fabulous Forum in 1982. 9th row for Fair Warning in 81. US festival in 83 w/ 300,000. Saw them open for Black Sabbath (VH destroyed Sabbath). 1980 Women and Children 20th row.
In 1981 I sat front row for the Pretends and Eddie came out and did "You really got me" with them.
Never went to a Van Hagar show.
I like David Lee Roth alot better .
May we ask why?
DLR and Hagar are two different singers with two different styles. They were and both are great.
Michael Anthony was the sacrificial innocent bystander in all of this animosity.
Unfortunately, yes he was. Great vocals and a really good bass man (just listen to Ice Cream Man). I hated what happened to Michael.
I actually liked BOTH of them!!! That band was great with Sammy, and David!!!
Glad to know that you're a fan of these two! Which Van Halen song appealed to you the most?
I think most people would agree that if you're only counting range and quality of lead singer capabilities, Sammy far outweighs the Diamond. But you can't just only count that. Dave added a flare in the early years that was so flamboyant that it simply wouldn't work later on or now. But, it sure did then. I found early VH a guitar explosion band with some great tunes but Dave's "singing" was about 50% of the time "speaking" the lyrics instead of singing them. Let's face it, those first 3 albums were all Eddie and his world-topping, amazing talent on the guitar. But, Sammy has always been my rock hero, in whatever incarnation he's playing in. Imagine my elation when I found out who was going to replace DD. It kinda saddens me sometimes when Sammy gets braggy with his commentary, but then again he has the tools to back it up and in general, he's a very giving human being. (Humans Being?). The commentary in the video about how Sammy compared Roth's solo career to his own ... saying that he made so much more money... is somewhat taken out of context. Again, he does however have the tools to back it up. Sammy's solo career spans farrrr beyond Dave's but he shouldn't have compared them at all - everyone knows it. I bet Sammy would now agree to that, too! These people have to have giant egos in order to succeed at all in the world of Rock especially. And overall, Sammy is one of the very best. The Sammy VH albums were far better except for VH1 and for me, it's 85% Sammy and 15% Diamond Dave.
I liked Sammy better. I liked David better. I cannot decide.
No worries! Which Van Halen song is the most memorable for you?
Here's a fact: When you get a certain sound in your head and it is forever in your head, you want to record what you're hearing. Is that being difficult or is that being an artist?
The Red Rocker #1 David #2. The lyrics were better too with Sammy! The backing music was more in depth also. Did not seem as "live" as DLR era. Studio sound had more depth with the Red Rocker.
I absolutely love VH❣️❣️ I prefer Sammy over DLR. Got to go to the Monsters of Rock with them in their limo. It was so awesome. That's back when I worked at the hotel. I met so many wonderful stars. EVH you are missed so much😢
🕊️🙏❤️
Fun stuff, thank you so much for sharing your life story! Which Van Halen song appealed to you the most?
I like all 3 singers. I just wish Roth had a better attitude towards Hagar and his time in Van Halen. Cherone is a nice person and i am happy that he got to sing in Van Halen.
Why are you showing Sean hannity's face he's got nothing to do with rock and roll WTF
Sammy!!! Van Hagar all the way! Don't get me wrong, love some of the songs with Dave but soooo much better songs with Sammy. But I've always been a Sammy fan! Montrose, Solo, Chickenfoot, he's got a positive vibe.
Couldn't agree more! Thank you for sharing your views on this. In your opinion, what is Van Halen's finest song?
Roth was great . when Sammy was in the band they had both Sammy fans and van Halen fans great business move. It became all about money.i believe they lost their raw edge with Sammy.
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
One has to admit ( Eat um and Smile ) was an incredible work! I had seen both Van Halen and Roth and can say both were always incredible! BTW I'm also a Van Halen fanatic ❤.
I even liked Skyscraper and even though I never got to see VH I did see DLR for his first two albums with Steve Vai and they were awesome. Big Sammy fan all around but also didn’t get to see him, I opted to see Rush with Y&T playing same night
@@kirkscobey3031 Steve Vai is incredible!
David Lee era Van Halen 57 Million records sold to Sammy era Van Halen 27 Million …DAVID LEE ROTH sold over 3,987,270 albums, including 3,500,000 in the United States and 220,000 in the United Kingdom. The best-selling album by DAVID LEE ROTH is EAT 'EM AND SMILE, which sold over 1,156,680 copies ….. SAMMY HAGAR sold over 3,500,000 albums, including 3,500,000 in the United States. The best-selling album by SAMMY HAGAR is VOA, which sold over 1,000,000 copies .
Sam u were the 4th pick to replace Dave ..How come u don't mention that u F Man...Fill in Man..Dave sold more off his EP album then many of your albums
The reason DLR Van Halen sold more was when Van Halen came out the first 4 releases were vinyl albums, when CD's came out many fans rebought those releases again on CD. Had there have been only one format the DLR and Hagar sales would be very close to the same.
Roth definitely a great front man. Sammy a better writer.
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great week!
I loved Van Hagar!
I like Dave and Sammy equally for different reasons.
Most bands peak at their debut or very close to it. The breakout years are the best because the band, the material, the signature sound are usually quite unique, hence the breakthrough.
It's nearly impossible to top that, so much of it is emotional attachment of the fan base to the original band and lineup within the band. Not one of Sammy's VH songs are on my VH hit list. I do love BTW Sammy's singing and with the band Chickenfoot it's great band altogether.
Thanks for telling their
History I never knew they were both in Van Halen
You're very much welcome! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, which Van Halen song appealed to you the most?
I’m a David Lee Roth gal.😊
We're a big fan of David too! In your opinion, what is Van Halen's finest song?
Diamond Dave era was my favorite by far. The band was rough and exciting.
When the original Van Halen had an album come out in the late 70s and early 80s I just wanting to hear what EVH was going to do next on his guitar.
The Sammy era was awesome but definitely not the same party intensity like the original Van Halen.
One of our favorites too, you've got taste! What is your favorite song of Van Halen?
@Facts Verse
This is a tough question to answer my favorite song. VH 1 and Fair Warning are my two favorite albums. There was Unchained, Mean Street, One Foot Out the Door, On Fire, Atomic Punk, but each album had great songs. 1984 had the underrated Girl Gone Bad and Drop Dead Legs. VH 2 had DOA, Light Up the Sky, Women and Children had Somebody Get Me a Doctor, And the Cradle Will Rock, Diver Down had Little Guitars. So many songs to choose. They're all classics to me!
Imo, Van Halen's work with Sammy Hagar made for the best rock albums of the 90's outside of grunge and alt rock. - masterpieces including For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, Balance and even though OU812 and 5150 didn't match their '91 effort, the first 2 albums sounded better to me than anything DLR did with the band, ( with due respect to DLR's over the top star persona, fitness displays and showmanship ). Van Hagar's music brought me the courage to take guitar lessons at age 16 and buy my first electric. My own modest band and touring experience for some years after, helped with anxiety issues and got me through college and bill payments. VH Mark II 's gift to the world was abundant, and opened the gates for quieter, ambiverted types to believe they could create music with relevance. Without them, 80's rock stars and stage theatrics wouldn't have left a timely niche for musicians like Dean De Leo, Kim Thayil, Marty Friedman, Dave Matthews, Reb Beach, Mike McCready and similar relatively unpretentious performers. R.I.P. EVH.
I was the first kid in my home town to get the Van Halen first album so i turned my town on to the band.
The question specifically is favorite “singer”?
The answer, in my opinion, is they had two singers and two badass frontmen…DLR & Sammy Hagar are badass frontmen, and Gary and Sammy are excellent singers…so to be clear as he TOPS BOTH CATEGORIES, Sammy Hagar is clearly my choice, plus he added to the dimensionality of VH, and the band musically was better…more hits…that translates to more money. The Roth era was great, the Hagar era was EPIC, and the Cherone album is best off forgotten.
RIP Eddie
The future of VH isn’t uncertain….it’s done…Wolfie said so!
It’s a no brainer!
Who put Wolfe in charge of van Halen?
@@bls8959
He’s probably not solely in charge, but he is, in all probability, a mouthpiece….and I’m sure he knows how his uncle feels.
Dave was by far the best vocalist VH ever had. While Sammy's voice was technically better (had more range and control), Dave's had better tone and a whole lot more power. The punch and swagger in Dave's voice (heard in the studio recordings and early live shows) stood side by side with Eddie's guitar work to define the greatness of the mighty Van Halen. Just as Eddie reinvented what it meant to play rock guitar; Dave shattered the old ideas of what it meant to front a rock band. He was the standard all later lead singers tried to match. They styled their hair to resemble his. They jumped and kicked on stage, as he did. And they whooped and hollered trying to duplicate his inimitable exuberance. Dave changed the course of rock history. What did Sammy do, other than give us a bunch of syrupy soft rock, of which we already had a much superior supply from the likes of Journey, Foreigner, and Rick Springfield? VH's original producer even said Van Halen never would have made it without Dave, and to know the truth of that, all you have to do is look back at how Montrose failed. Long live DLR!
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
Can Never replace the first 4 albums with DLR, ,,,,but ,,,the albums with Sammy are amazing because his vocals are SOOO much more versatile. Very hard to pick one.
I was a teen and was in a band myself on the guitar when Van Halen's debut was released. So, I loved Eddie from the first moment on - as everybody did. I prefer Hagar. He is the perfect lead singer for van Halen and an incredible rock voice in general.
Nice little story.
I personally prefer the 1st 4 Van Halen albums over ANY that Sammy was on but, Sammy was OBVIOUSLY a more skilled vocalist.
The 1st 4 albums were what VH was really about.
Hagar albums too pop formula for me.
I grew up musically in 70s & 80s and definitely preferred Roth's era. I only saw the Hager era on the Monsters Of Rock tour with the Scorpions, Metallica amongst others.
DLR was singer when I fell in love with Van Halen in 81, but I do like a lot of songs with Sammy.
Sammy, Sammy, Sammy great front man, great guy
I love em both, just wish it were easier for them to get along professionally.
I'm trying to figure out why Hannity is on the thumbnail pic...
DLR. There has never really been a discussion. Diamond Dave was, is, and always will be the face and voice of VH.
This is a band that imo had two equally great singers. Love both of their singing styles. I will never truly be into Journey again without Steve Perry, but Van Halen is a different story for sure.
LOL not close to equal. DLR is a terrible singer, Sammy is one of the best.
“With Eddie’s death the band’s future remains uncertain.”
That’s a ridiculous statement. The band no longer exists they and haven’t even been able to put together a tribute. Wolfgang has stated unequivocally that he does not want to be his father. Besides nobody is even talking to each other save for Sammy and Michael.
Exactly. The band’s future is CERTAIN: it’s over.
8:10. Just wanted to say Sammy Hagar's voice and vocal range were superior to Roth's. But hey. They both rocked!!
By far it’s Sammy, he brought out the best in the band
A bunch of pop rock Love sounds…lol DLR era is Van Halen….DLR era 57 million records sold…Sammy era 27 million
Uhh...no he didn't!
@@ugaais DLR was one of the WORST live singers I've ever seen. Only reason he was a "co-founder" is because he had a PA system. Alex and Eddie would never have given him a 2nd look if not for that
@@treeherder2201 and they were together from 1972 to 1985 and 2007 until EVH died long time to repay someone for a PA system…with their most successful tour being in 2007-2008…..
Seriously? I was totally disappointed with the Van Hagar era. The music was pussified. It didn't come close to the DLR era. Eddie knew that too. That's why he agreed to get DLR back.
Sammy was great...but Roth ruled !
VanHalen needed Sammy more than Sammy needed VanHalen
Are you kidding me lol
@@alexbucko48 nope
Ummm,no...Sammy was never as big as Van Halen in his solo career!
@@gclark8228: and how well did the band do with Gary Cherone or reuniting with Diamond Dave.
Also, well did David do when he went solo?
@@kennethmelnychuk9737 ...The Van Halen 3 album with Cherone was once again Ed and Al's idea,I don't totally hate the tracks, just in general,but I didn't find it to be anything phenomenal!
As far as Dave's solo career went,he did quite well,I actually recall liking and playing his first full length debut far more than 5150,VH's best,most solid Sammy album!
Dave put together a kick a*s band and just wrote really creative songs,that offered a combination of the VH as well as other influences, Ed,nor Al or Mikey were missed!
David Lee Roth by a long shot.
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great week!
Any Van Halen was good Van Halen! Always liked both singers. Eddie Van Halen was the nucleus of the band. Can't get that stuff no more😢
Diamond Dave was the man when I was in high school, but as I grew older, Van Hagar fit perfectly with me. They nailed it both times.
Van Halen > Van Hagar
I always liked Sammy, but I liked his solo and Montrose stuff better.
I remember Van Halen was pretty much dead to me when Dave left, back in the 80's, but I always kept track of what Eddie was doing the entire time. I'm grateful they could get back together, just wish Michael Anthony had been there. Shame they didn't get a couple more albums together in their prime. Eddie will always be in my top 3 fav guitarist ever, along with Randy Rhoads and Jimmy Page.
RIP kings!!
Hands down DLR. He's the face that comes to mind when you think of Van Halen.
Dave was great when he was fronting, Sammy was also, cant compare its apples v oranges,, who can still sing?Sammy
They all seemed to dislike each other. We know that much.
David lee Roth has always been a difficult person to get along with .
He goes off with his" bib bab bub bib blab" word salads .
David was fun to watch back in early 80's.
David Lee Roth Forever!
I've been following Van Halen for over 40 years I've seen him in concert on every tour and when I first got into Van Halen at the age of 14 and now I am 56 David Lee Roth was the ideal front man But as time went alone I think egos probably caused the problem between the Van Halen band back in the day so I think Wednesday me Hagar Come Aboard it was just fresh new and people are really new Sammy Hagar as being a solo artist so I thought Sammy Hagar brought something really new and fresh and and good to the band I've always loved Eddie Van Halen no one no one in anybody's lifetime will ever see another Eddie Van Halen rest in peace Eddie but I think it's all on who you really like as a front man I've seen David Lee Roth and a solo concert he was awful and I seen them in 2015 in Tampa on their last tour and he wasn't that great then but Sammy Hagar I have seen him by his self solo awesome when he was with Van Halen awesome look don't get me wrong Van Halen is my group there tattooed all over my body his guitar is on my back never be another Eddie Van Halen our Van Halen group ever so I think everybody just needs to remember Eddie and Van Halen on both sides and with David and with Sammy and just think over my lifetime I've had forty years of awesome awesome music so who's to say what really would have happened if Eddie would have still been living you know a lot of people in a lot of fans really wanted to see David and Sammy up there together with Van Halen and Michael up there with Wolfgang but I don't know how that would have really went but like I said it's all on who you like I've loved him for forty years plus I'm going to love them till I take my last breath rock on Eddie
I don't know I forgot the frickin words 😂😂😂
Dave or the grave! No contest, Diamond Dave in VH is untouchable kids!!
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What is your favorite Van Halen song?
Roth's and Hagar's Van Halen periods were different, but both good.
Sammy is a great guitar player

Not a great guitar player
A great song writer!
He should be in the hall of Fame for writing " Rock candy" alone.
Favorite singer of Van Halen of course will always beSammy Hagar due to he is awesome singer & person! ♥️🌟👋
Dave was very unique. He had a showmanship style and vocals that were very exaggerated. Eddie might not have exceeded Bucket head less dave.
Sammy is my favorite Van Halen singer
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! Which Van Halen song is the most memorable for you?
I think Sammy and Dave both fit the bands overall sound well, as far as the musicis concerned. Eddie was always Eddie so whether the Roth or the Hagar era the music was consisent. Oh sure one could argue minor differences in guitar tone the fact is when a Van halen song comes on no matter which era every one with in hearing distance immediately knows it's van halen an that hasn't changed! Any thing other that's being said about Van halen is hype!
The,Rock world needed them both ! Roth was awesome in his own way, And so was Sammy. When he joined the band, they should of changed the name. The sound changed completely like it was a different band all together.
I appreciated BOTH EQUALLY ! THEY WERE FUN AND AMAZING BAND TO FOLLOW AND SEE LIVE !
NO OTHER ROCK BAND CAME CLOSE TO THEIR LIVE PERFORMANCES.
ANYONE READING MY COMMENTS AGREE ?
I like both, plain and simple! Comparing Roth era Van Halen to Hagar era Van Halen is like comparing apples to oranges! Two totally different sounding bands that just happen to have the same name, Ed's guitar playing being the only common denominator. That being said, if I was forced to choose, I would have to say Hagar era Van Halen!
As for changing the name to Van Halen, this was something suggested by Warner Brothers (record label), not necessarily by Sammy. VH wanted to go full steam ahead and be up for the challenge by staying VH and see if the fan base would accept it. Humph...I wonder if they ever did? 😁😆
I like them both👍💯
Got it, thanks for letting us know! What is your favorite Van Halen song?
@@FactsVerse and the cradle Will rock/ i’ll wait.💯👍
Sammy hands down
I preferred the Diamond Dave era of the band. It was the perfect combination of music and entertainment.
They were both great but I prefer Van Hagar (~);}.
Give a listen to Sammy and Bob Weir doing the Grateful Deads Here Comes Sunshine. There are a few videos of it on CZcams.
All Good

Everybody probably feels the same about DLR. The guy is exhausting. It’s not nice to say bad things about others and you can throw dirt on either person. I will say that I like all VH music but I prefer the Hagar years for live show quality.
Saw VH 5 times with Roth and 3 with Sam. The first four albums with Roth are untouchable and can't be beat. But live is a different story. Roth live was very disappointing way too much to list; forgetting the words and leaving out the words every other song. Personally i'm not into the gymnastics look at me glam outfits, but hey I get it. It's just when a band member can't remember they're parts I don't give a phuck who you are I want my money back. Don't believe me ask 150k people who left while VH was performing at the US Festival in 83.
Sammy on the other hand live was as close to perfect as a performer can get, no disappointments there, got my moneys wort + + +. Edward had a major drinking problem, I mean major, so anyone who has dealt with a full blow alcoholic knows lol THE DRAMA is gonna be beyond difficult... Peace
Hello? This is planet earth! Roth and Hagar toured together with their solo bands and it was a disaster, everybody that knows Van Halen for a some time know very well that Hagar and Roth have always hate each other :P
October babies rock! :D
The songs that David Lee Roth did with Van Halen are good. However, Sammy is a much better singer,and has a lot more experience. I like the songs from both eras.
