HA! Yes, I remember it well. I hope you do not take offense but I have always felt that Roth is not all that great of a vocalist, at least not in the purest sense of the word. What David Lee Roth is, is a SHOWMAN. He knows how to work a crowd and pump things up. He has a great gift. He is a lot like Mick Jagger in that respect, and that is a tremendous compliment. Jagger is really not much of a singer as ability goes but he can work a crowd, you know? [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by ronhartsell from Saturday, October 11, 2008 9:37:03 AM)

Well, I'm taking Greg's word on the name change part. He's been to the house many times, and once he brought some old photo's of him and his band, so take it for what it is. What I am sure of is that I thought Van Halen rocked the first time I heard 'em. It was fun rock, loud and crazy guys, lot's of chick's (to use a term from the day), it was a total party atmosphere!!

| Yes. You know, I was really impressed with them . Amazing band. It seems so long ago. I did not know about the UK band, though! Wow. And I had NO idea that was why they changed their name. Interesting. |

There's a UK band called Mammoth too - includes John McCoy - used to play bass in 'Gillan' - not sure if they still going.... |

Mammoth was the original name of Van Halen....and...I met a guy on several occasions who was a member of the band Mammoth, for which, I'm told, Van Halen had to change their name because of...

Van Halen fans know him as 'that one guy' 
You get your points back if you promise to never mention his name again  and please don't cry  then I'll feel so bad that I'll have to forgive you for liking Van Hagar better, and I really don't want to do that

VOM suggested I state that I'm embarrassed because I prefer Sammy Hager over David Lee Roth
but sorry VOM --I tried but I just can't do it --I'm not ashamed
Hey look at it this way --at least I didn't say that the greatest VH lineup was with Gary Cherone--wasn't he with them for 1 cd ?? |
