VH has been done for 20 years.

DLR was doing some pretty good stuff when he had Steve Vai playing guitar for him, but after that he let the clown schtick take over....his book was pretty good though.

I think they did some pretty good stuff early on with Sammy so yea, it's been close to 20 years since they did much worth hearing. I was surprised how much Cherone sounded like Hagar on that one album (which I never bought) but the music really sucked. DLR is a good singer but I can't stand him otherwise.

Commercially speaking, Sammy helped bring the bacon home for the band.  More sales of everything, from CD's to T-Shirts. The Red Rocker was Money in the Bank for VH & Warner Bros. He & Eddie were a great writing team. Lots of good stuff from Van Hagar, IMHO.

I agree with that. VanHagar did stuff that DLR couldn't even dream of doing.

DLR had some high points early on, the debut album is one, but there was also a lot of crap to wade through to get to the good stuff.

Seems I read a while back that VH sold more records with DLR. Not sure if they made more money though.

 back in '81 when i was trying to get my solo guitar God gig going in L.A. all anyone wanted to know was if i could play any Van Halen solos,  The Eruption solo and Ain't talkin 'bout love were the tracks of the day,.. there was only one other act in town going on, (Besides alot of "new Wave") a new local band called Motley Crue, they had the best parties in town...
  For that reason i have trouble to this day hearing V.H.

  But i gotta tell ya', I was at G.I.T. back then and saw, heard and taped a 20 min.guitar duel between Eddie van the man and Alan Holdsworth!

    WOW!!!!!  :o

i used to see Sammy all the time in Golden Gate Park in the '70s with Montrose and Earthquake in my own wine induced stupor...

Didn't Valerie B. just die?...  ???

 yeah, it is but it's on a cheap TDK D-60 one of the crappy red ones... i still listen to it on occasion,.. and the rythem section?..
Jeff Berlin on Bass and Gary Householder (sp) who was married to D. Bozio (spelling again?) the female singer from Missing Persons... and "Nobody Walks in L.A." which was a top 40 hit at the time,.. and guess what?.. I was walking in L.A. at the time, my Strat in one hand, my crappy Rosac amp in the other (two knobs!  :-\) and my Bag 'o tricks slung across my back. Every freakin bus trip took two to three hours... and I endlessly heard that song everywhere I went...  :-\
I gave up after a month of that and eating peanut butter & Jelly on saltine crackers for breakfast lunch and dinner...  :sick:
The live music i saw/heard was pricless however...  :yesnod:

I'll trade you a peanut butter & jelly sandwich for a copy of that tape.  :D 

Holdsworth has done some great stuff over the years, & I got to see him with Jeff Berlin in NYC once. (Holdsworth's IOU) Saw him another time with Bill Bruford, & would say it was one of the better live shows I've seen since it was in a tiny place called The Bottom Line that held about 500 people.

im going to venture a guess here that they were makin more money cause they were still sellin a helofa lot of the early records with DLR plus the vanhagar stuff. IMO both bands were awesome, both guys did great fronting VH. sammy seems to have done alot more musicly speaking without VH where DLR had a couple short lived hits. on a side note i really did like what i heard from "the DLR band" in the late 90s i remember thinking how sick it was that DLR (somebody who i dispised in my HS days) had music that really rocked on the radio and METALLICA (my HS idols) had music on the radio that turned my stomach (load , reload) talk about a band going to heII and becoming popular for it! and for whatever reason DLR didnt get the airplay so it failed...happens to many good bands being that record companys,MTV and radio decide what becomes popular. the american public is easly manipulated.

No argument from me on that.  :2thumbs:

I hope you listen to some college radio stations, they generally play stuff you will never hear otherwise. I've bought more recordings by typically unknowns this way. Sometimes a headlining band will have an unknown open for them, & in some cases I've seen them blow the headliner away.
