Perhaps, but at least he entertained.
Saw a Van Halen concert in 1986 just after David Lee Roth left the band and Sammy Hagar had joined. He was wearing an absurd tee-shirt with "Dave Who?" emblazoned on the chest. Even then I found it completely childish. I longed for David Lee Roth during that show.
Sammy Hagar is clearly competent, but he will never capture the magical showmanship of David Lee Roth.
In other excellent music news, Rob Halford has rejoined Judas Priest with tour dates being announced soon. These guys took the time to properly resolve their differences and you know Rob, Glenn Tipton, K.K. Downing, Ian Hill, and Scott Travis are going to seriously rock out.
What a fantastic nostalgia trip this upcoming summer might become. My (considerably) younger staff will never figure me out. Ha!
