Van Halen or Van Hagar

That pic of Eddie is years old and he looks way better now. That picture created an internet meme where people Photoshop that image into funny scenarios. There's like a 200 page thread over at the harmony-central forums. Gut-busting stuff in there.

Nomatter who you like,ya gotta enjoy this.

Van Halen = In my collection.

Van Hagar = Bland.

No dis to Sammy, love him as the Red Rocker but...
Hands down, Van Halen DLR era. My fave????? Actually Fair Warning. Early was great simple entry level rock, super classic. Women started to really expand the creativity and uniqueness. I really think VH pinnacled at FW. Diver Down was just than. End of story for VH as we knew and loved.

I absolutely agree that Fair Warning was the best Van Halen album ever. The new Different Kind of Truth takes me back to the DLR era and that's why I love it. Clearly not their best ever but what a breath of fresh air. That wink, wink with a nod humor is back. "Told you I was coming back. Say you missed me, say it like you mean it". A little decrepit but also surprisingly spry. I'm a kid of the 70's/80's. I love this band. Always will. NOT for audiophiles, but iconic.
