Sammy fer shure. I been a Sammy Hagar fan since Montrose. Nothing against Roth but, VH with Sammy not only sold more albums but also more tickets, received the first number #1 record and Sammy first and foremost is a musician, that can not only write music and great lyrics. None of the VH boys can write!
Roth NEEDS VH, Sammy does not. He was a headliner before and is a headliner after VH. Roth, on his own, couldnt sell out a toliet bowl. To Roths credit though, he did come out with a great EP and one LP after VH, But, nothing more. This new, highly anticipated LP with Roth, IMO, was a huge dis-appointment. Most of the material is nothing more then re-hashed stuff they decided not to use back in their early days. Wonder why that is? Maybe it wasnt strong material back then, why would they think it is now?
Or, has the well run dry regarding the ability to make new music. Oh well, to each his own but, my pick will always be Sammy over anything solo Roth and VH. Oh, and Ive seen all 3 versions of VH. Roth a better frontman, Hardly. Sammy was and still is one of the best frontmen around and can also play a mean guitar. And at 60+ he is in much better condition the Roth. To be fair, DLR was a great frontman, years ago, but his time has come and gone.
Sorry Roth fans but the facts are the facts. :yes:
