when somebody posted this on fb, i was anxious to see how ridiculous it would be, probably worse then the gb prophecies, etc.

after watching the clip, i honestly don't know what to believe.

at the very least it's very entertaining and interesting.

And, thinking about it more, let's look at single charts. The top three singles for Van Halen, had a combined score of 26. Van Hagar? 30.
Sales by album? Let's keep it to four albums since Sammy tuckered out after four and Diamond Dave almost doubled that.
Let's start with Van Halen:
Van Halen - 17M
1984 - 17M
Van Halen II - 8M
Women and Children First - 6M
Total of 48M.
Van Hagar?
27M total.
Oh look, I'm now up to 8 reasons. Just like Sammy desperately trying to keep up with Diamond Dave, you're falling behind.
Van Halen wins.

i litterally gave you four.
You gave me a stat that shows Van Hagar had more watered down radio friendly songs, that doesn't translate in "better" at all, unless you're suggesting that Van Hagar has the same quality as Ace of Base, lots of radio play.
And, in fact, Best of Volume 1, feature more Dave than Sammy, hit #1 also.
But, since that's the only thing you got, let's play pretend and go with it. You gave four reasons. I gave you six.
Dave still wins, even if you had given me four reasons Sammy was better and not watered down banality.

I like Hagar and Roth equally.
If anyone has a problem with that, go f**k yourself.
Why do you imagine anyone would care what you like?

The highest a halen album ever reached with dimond dave was #2 on the charts. all four with sammy hit number 1.
Too bad the listeners didn't or care enough to buy them. David wins. Also the top charts, especially back in the day, was a measure of radio play primarily. Watered down Van Hagar certainly had more radio friendly songs, a sign, not of being better, but of watered down sugar syrup fit for the most droll, regulated and bland media, but by no means an indicator of "better", at best more generic.
Don't hurt your toe when the mic you dropped lands on it.

You're welcome to try. People have, many times, tried to shoot down that reality. Allow me to show you how that attempt ends.

Roth was a great front man and had a great voice but their best success came after his departure.
That's a common mistake.
Combined sales of Van Hagar albums - 27 million.
For Van Halen? - 56 million.
Or we can break it down by album... 6.75 million/album for Van Hagar, 9.33 million/album for Van Halen. Best of Volume 1 contains 10 songs with Roth, 7 with Hagar. Best of both worlds contains more songs from the albums with Roth. Rolling Stone's readers picks are 8 Roth era songs with a whopping 2 for the Hagar era. The top iTunes downloads for Van Halen are 80% Roth era.
There is literally no measure by which Van Halen is not demonstrably better and more successful than Van Hagar.

@Viv: "We are Legion." Does that mean FMF can also call Cofty Pumpkin?
We'll have to consult ourselves and then we'll get back to you on that.
