Please, please tell me you are not one of those people that refuse to listen to music based on political affiliation.

I've seen Van Halen in concert twice: "Diver Down" and "1984". I never heard them complete a song in either show; it was three guys trying to play music and Dave acting like an idiot.

Van Hagar, on the other hand, put on a great concert. It didn't even hurt that much when Sammy sang some of Dave's tunes. Plus, Sammy is a helluva guitarist and it was cool to listen to him jam with Eddie. And despite an hour delay on account of weather, they played the full set anyway. Dave would've never done that.

He certainly looks well-endowed in that picture.

I just notice those types of things, but I digress.

Dave was a hot rockin' guy back in the day.

I was looking about for some evidence as to which performer had better album sales- Sam or Dave (I like both artist's music) and I ran across this from Wikipedia-

Whatever gave you that idea? ;)

Sure thing- but for the love of all that is sacred, please don't let that little bit of trivia influence who's music you listen to! Not that I would expect that of you, Motley.

"There is no Van Halen without David Lee Roth."

Even if Roth looks like a scarecrow, your right.

NO magic without Roth.

It doesn't drive what I listen to, but it's nice to know that at least someone in the music business has their head on straight politically.

Actually, though, Roth isn't exactly a liberal himself. Perhaps more of a neolibertarian, not necessarily conservative, but he's not liberal from what I've heard from him.

Agreed. Though he has stated he has no love for either conservative or liberal politicians- he has quoted the Who "meet the new boss, same as the old boss"-, I've heard him refer to kerry as Lurch and offer up a devil's advocate point of view about the need for the U.S. to be in Iraq.

Do you remember when Gary Cherone sang a short time with Van Halen. That was horrible.

My first concert was a Van Halen concert at the Hampton Colesium. Let's put it this way, no 14 year old girl should be exposed to David Lee's Chaps. I had the best time. But I would never let my daughter go see a show with David Lee (back in his prime)....

I actually saw Van Cherone in concert in Houston. The show was really bad.

OMG! That brings back memories. I had it bad for Dave. I used to by Cream magazine and cut out pics of Dave. My parents were horrified.
