David Lee Roth vs. Sammy Hagar...

In the early days, singer and front man for Van Halen David Lee Roth took them to the top of fame. Unfortunately his crazy personality and ego was more than the band could take and he had a falling out with the group. Auditions for many, but he was replaced by singer & guitarist Sammy Hagar who was already successful with the rock band Montrose and started a solo career.

Everyone has their favorites and while David had the energy and stage presence, Sammy came into the group and added a flavor of a more refined voice and songs.
I was fortunate to see Van Halen live, probably16 or 17 years ago with Sammy up front.

If there's a vote of who was the overall best, I'd have to say Sammy is the one!

I saw this interview with David a couple of years ago and found it on youtube. I agree with David on the differences and agree with you that I prefer Sammy. I saw Van Halen with DLR in OKC on their last tour before the split. I saw Sammy with Montrose in Detroit on a stage that had a 45 degree angle front to back.
