Dave is way better than Sammy and the music is more rock ‘n’ roll with David Lee Roth. There is no comparison I love Eddie rest in peace but he was a douche bag jealous obnoxious narcissist and Dave was just trying to have fun. Eddie had to put on a fake smile every show just because he couldn’t get his way, Dave knew what he was doing , all the way down to the name of the band, if Dave was so arrogant why wouldn’t he name the band Roth because he knew Van Halen was a better name

He's speaking TRUTH. He wasn't the 1st to start doing his own thing either. Ed made his own "private" studio, went and did "Beat it" with MJ and a couple other things before Dave said "all right, my turn". At the end of the day it sucked because they split up. Together, they were untouchable.

When Dave left the band, he took that iconic singing voice with him, and Van Halen put Sammy Hagar in there and... ugg. 😖🤢🤮 The original line up was and will always be the best in my opinion. I like Eddie's guitar playing but with Sammy in the mix, it was like hearing Boy George singing for Def Leppard. It just wasn't right. Dave brought something to the table that was unique and defining and gave Van Halen as a band personality and style and originality... whereas Sammy, just brought his voice and guitar, and talent. I'm not taking anything away from Sammy but he will alway be remembered for "I Can't Drive 55" David Lee Roth is a living legend. I doubt any singer alive today could sing "You Really got Me" the way Dave could. Dave and Michael gave the Van Halen brothers exactly what they needed for success... the right combination. In my humble opinion of course.

David Lee Roth should've also thanked his producer Ted Templeman who decided to produce David's EAT EM AND SMILE instead of Van Halen's 5150 album. For SKYSCRAPER, how does Dave repay Ted? By firing him and producing the album himself. Dave's career was never as big again. If Diamond Dave had done the right thing and kept Ted permanently as his producer, not only would SKYSCRAPER have been a better album but all the albums that followed would've been better AND quite possibly Dave's original solo band would've stayed together past SKYSCRAPER.

Shortly after Van Halen broke up, I remember seeing Eddy and Alex on MTV doing an interview in which they claim Dave left the band and they didn't see it coming and were pissed off. Of course I can't find that interview anywhere on-line now. But I can find plenty if interviews in which they say they fired Dave because he was a pain to work with. And then would run his character or work ethic down. I believe Dave left because working together could be contentious at times and he hit it big with his California Girls video and felt he could do his own thing without the hassle of the brothers Van Halen

David Lee Roth was and always will be Van Halen for me and many others. No disrespect to Sammy Hagar. He is a great musician in his own right. He will always be the Red Rocker! But imagine, the Stones without Jagger, Zeppelin without Plant, Queen without Mercury, Rush without Lee - you get the picture! DLR just brought that IDENTITY to Van Halen! EVH was a great, ground breaking guitar god, but I imagine that without DLR he would have been akin to other guitar wizards known more for their virtuosity with the guitar ala Satriani, Eric Johnson, Petrucci, and others. EVH without DLR would have made his mark regardless as he was a guitar wizard. But remember, it was DLR, after all, who suggested they use the name VAN HALEN! He was that showman, that front man and the VOICE that epitomized Van Halen just as much as Plant, Jagger, Mercury were in their bands. At the end of the day, the sum is greater than its parts. And Van Halen with DLR was a generation defining culturally iconic MONSTER of a band in their prime.
