Dave can't sing. Sorry, he can't. He can shout and screech, but he cannot sing. As a front man Dave is flamboyant. As a singer, he's horrible. Conversely, Sammy can sing, and can sing well.

Sammy has great range, and is able to excel on songs that Roth would have no chance on recording. Examples include Standing on Top of the World, Poundcake, Feeling, and Sucker in a Three Piece are just some simple examples

Dave is all about Dave. Just one look at any Van Halen or Roth video will be all you need to know about Dave. Even his stage persona is all about Dave. During Diver Down tour, I believe, Dave stopped the band mid-song, points down into the crowd and says "Hey, this &*%^% just dumped his beer on me, man!" To which the crowd boos vociferously. "That's OK, that's OK," he continues, "because after the concert I'm gonna $%$# his girlfriend." To which the crowd erupts. Good line, huh? It better be, because he used it at every concert stop that tour.

Roth era videos are all about Dave. Just check out Jump, or Hot for Teacher, or Panama and see for yourself. Hagar era videos are about the band, the music, or something bigger.

On top of that, Sammy plays guitar which affords opportunities for Eddie to expand, either via guitar or keyboards. All Dave plays is a ego-centric tool in music videos.

Sammy was dead set against a greatest hits album with "new material" as he felt it was just another way to soak fans. Dave, not so much. When Eddie broke a guitar on stage and showered fans with debris, Sammy was outraged. It became the last straw with the alcoholic Eddie. I doubt Dave would have cared that much, unless it would have caused someone in the front row to spill a beer on him...

Prior to joining Van Halen, Sammy had two albums with Montrose, 8 solo albums (including two platinum and a gold), and an album with HSAS under his belt. Dave launched with Van Halen, so this isn't really fair. Understood. But consider the post-Van Halen Work - Sammy has continued to excel, with two solo albums, 5 with the Waboritas, and two outstanding albums with Chickenfoot. Dave had 5 solo albums that have sold less and less with each subsequent release. Self-indulgent but commercially successful efforts included "Eat 'em and Smile" and "Skyscraper." Pretty much after that Dave was left to playing a burlesque show Vegas and moonlighting as an EMT.

At the induction of Van Halen in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, only Sammy and Michael Anthony showed up. Eddie was a raging alcoholic, Alex deferred due to Eddie's condition, and Dave didn't show because his performance had been cancelled. That left Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar for the induction speech, and both gave proper credit to Dave for VH's early years and success. Now, in your mind's eye, imagine if tables had been turned and only Dave gave the speech. I doubt he would have been so generous.

VH's sound is hallmarked by two things - Eddie's incredible guitar work and Michael Anthony's incredible high harmonies. In their post-Van Halen periods, Dave, obviously feeling Michael was replaceable, seemed content to settle for Eddie's kid Wolfgang on bass. Sammy, on the other hand, knew the value that Anthony brought to the sound, and worked with him on a couple of side projects, including the current one with Chickenfoot.

The problem most people have with Van Hagar was that they tried to sound like Journey or Aerosmith.

Van Roth was more about just having fun and being wild.

The Van Cherone stuff is just ignored.
