David Lee Roth approves

By SNBBFF - 25/10/2011 07:10 - United States

Today, it was my birthday. We had a huge family dinner and everyone was invited, including my boyfriend. My family is kind of stuck-up, so I was very nervous about him meeting them. He got into an argument with my uncle over how "awesome" Van Halen is, and ignored me all night. FML

I completely support your boyfriend. Always loved Van Halen, and I share my birthday with Eddie! :)

With David Lee Roth = awesome With Sammy Hagar = surprisingly lame If that was your boyfriend's position, marry him. If that was your uncle's argument, dump him and consider incest.

Perdix, Roth left. Would you have rather the band retire because of his decision? Van Halen is more than just it's frontmen. There's amazing talent from the other band members. I like Hagar because I enjoy rooting for the underdog and he had some HUGE shoes to fill and held his weight as best as he could. I don't understand why Hagar is disliked so much. But you're not the only person to claim that he's lame. I beg to differ and know this comment will be voted down (like my other one up top)because God forbid I speak against the Van Halen "rock god". I give credit where credit is due.(: *Thanks for making me feel like I went back in time. What year is it again? Hahahahha

Haha Kicky, I have the feeling perdix would prefer you and I to fight, most likely in a kiddie pool of green jell-0.(: Btw I always get "Singing in the Rain" stuck in my head when I see you pic. That movie changed that song to me forever. :O

What surprised me is that Hagar was so good on his own. The Police didn't get very far after Sting left, and you can't deny the talent of Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers. Besides Eddie Van Halen, was anybody else in that group exceptionally talented? Welcome to 1983 :)

So, Kicky, are you looking for some horrorshow ultraviolence, me droog? The Jell-o is setting, so I'm expecting you and Enslaved to show up in your tear-away wrestling thongs. The cubic yard of mini-marshmallows will make the even safer and bouncier. I'll be the ref/videographer -- we'll split the profits 45/45/10 with me getting the 10. The prize money for the wrestling is even because, in that sport, everybody wins!

The talent could be that they worked together and put out some good songs! But you're correct, not too many can compare to the talents of Eddie. (: The only person I know to successfully become an acceptable front man was AC/DC after Bon Scott's death. RIP Good luck to anyone else that takes over. Since you mentioned The Police, Journey is another one that replaced singers. I saw them in concert twice and the new singer(don't know his name) was awesome and I didn't miss Steve Perry at all.(:

Alex Van Halen is pretty talented. Not on the level of Eddie, but he has a few really complex songs (which were most all written in the early days. Wouldn't have helped Hagar anyway.) Other than that it was all about Dave and Eddie. There's no denying that.

Green Day, Van Halen, Metallica, Reel Big Fish, and Def Leppard are the best bands of all time.

So true. Whatever happens in your relationship that you don't like, don't talk about it on the internet, instead talk about it with your better half. If you want someone to notice something, tell it.

At least they argued about Van Halen, not Van Haggar.... And yes, as good as they are, a full blown arguement???? Well, Happy Birthday, I hope your boyfriend gave you some awesome "I'm sorry for ignoring you sex." If not, it's a good time to go for some -- and some jewerly!

Here's a thought and it's a bit deep so think it over. If everyone was invited then it is given that your boyfriend was invited. In fact, it is given that I was invited but, no matter, I would not have attended. Since everyone was invited, I decided to trek across the barren country on my own with no worries about being hassled by anyone else, since they were all at your birthday party...
