 That album is why Diamond Dave went solo. He couldn’t stand the synthesizer bullshit.

Weakest of the Roth era for sure. Instrumentals and covers (mostly).

You think so? I always felt that Diver Down was grossly underrated. Besides Jump, that sucked. 

Fair Warning was best IMO

i like a few Van Hagar songs, but DLR VH blows them away

 

sammy  was great on his own.

Diamond Dave VH was best but Sammy non-VH >. DLR solo.

I love 80s hair and voted Dave. That said, I’m not a huge VH fan. Give me Dokken, Great White, KIX, b-side Def Leppard, Motley, L.A. Guns, Cinderella over any version of VH

When you hear one Van Halen song, you heard them all.

Steve Vai is top 3 of that era.

Hagar's nephew, and the nephew's daughter, work out at our gym.  The daughter has a smoking body if you can get past the fact that facially she resembles Sammy.   

Anyway, we had a fundraiser last weekend for one of the trainers who started treatment for cancer, and they got Sammy to donate a signed bottle of Cabo Wabo reposado.  We won it at a silent auction.  We're having a party in two weeks that will include some folks from the gym, and I plan to crack open the bottle and do some shots in support of the trainer.
