But he was simply ALL wrong for Van Halen

While I admit I do like their earlier stuff better, I wouldn't say he was all wrong for VH; just different. For starters, Sammy was always a much better singer than Dave, and he could sing the early stuff just fine. Good luck to Roth ever trying to sing Hagar stuff. And who's to say that the band wouldn't have altered their newer stuff had they not parted ways with Dave.

I guess I'll also admit that my opinion has softened a bit over the decades because Sammy's so cool and Roth is a gigantic douche.

I think it was Billy Joel who said something along the lines of "I didn't think about singing these songs in my 60s when I wrote them in my 20s." Old age is a bitch - for most, the voice goes to hell along with everything else. At least he recognizes his limitations.

I'm totally cool with Sammy lovers, that guy definitely rocks

His Rock n Roll Roadtrips are just fantastic, he'll go and hang and jam with anyone from John Mellencamp, Chad Smith from RHCP, Rick Springfield, Zach Wylde, Rob Halford, Ted Nugent and everyone in between at their homes or on their tour bus

He's a fantastic guy who'd I'd love to hang with one night in Cabo

I just honestly believe that Sammy is better without Eddie, and vice versa

Sammy is straight ahead
Eddie took angles
Dave had a swing that just worked better
Or something like that

Sammy can still howl like a wolf into his 70s, he's legit...
