    I am Curious to know from the UK files..Who do you like better
    
    as the front man in Van Halen, or now is it Van Hagar?
    
    
    Who do you like better..?
                                 David Lee Roth
                                      or
                                  Sammy Hagar
                                       &

243.1Here's my vote for the Atomic Punk!HAMPS::JOYCE_AAndy Joyce, UK.SRACMon Oct 17 1988 13:526
    Without doubt, Dave Lee Roth. Since he left, the band has lost it's
    personality and originality (IMO). Shame.

243.2With out a doubt, Sammy Kicks DLR's behind!EUCLID::OWENThe DUKE got NUKED, 10/13/88 !!!Mon Oct 17 1988 16:2320
    Concerts I've seen.....
    
    Sammy Hagar Solo     \
                          ------  sammy wins hands down!
    David Lee Sloth Solo /
                                                        
    
    Van Halen w/DLR     \
                         ------- New Van Halen was SO much better.....
    Van Halen w/Sammy   /
                                                                     
    
    With out doubt, Sammy is the best thing ever to happen to Edward
    and friends.  His voice has a greater range that Sloths does, and
    he is fun to watch on stage.  Roth does the same old B.S. every
    night on stage.  Sammy puts a little variety in the shows.  You
    can tell that he is really having a good time.  Roth and his music
    are very plastic, Sammy is real rock and Roll!

    re .2
    
    You must have seen Roth solo when Sheehan was gone. What a shame.
    
    I think Van Hagar is awful. The drums don't fit and neither do Eddie's
    solos in the current top40 format.

243.4Billy sheehan is a great bassist, but....EUCLID::OWENThe DUKE got NUKED, 10/13/88 !!!Mon Oct 17 1988 21:185
    re .3
    No, I saw Billy Sheehan.  He was good, but David Lee wasn't.  He
    sould be preforming in Las Vegas, not on a Rock and Roll stage.

    I have to agree,
    
    I like Sammy much better than O'l Roth,Hagar puts more into his
    act,He is always doing different things on stage not like Roth
    who does the same thing night after night,Also Sammy Dont have
    a swelled up head.
