Van Halen vs Van Hagar (Preview 2)- Was VH better with David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar?

<v Speaker 1>We're gonna come back next week and do part.
<v Speaker 2>Two, the Rise and Fall of Daily Roth.
<v Speaker 1>So hang on for that one. Come join us and
<v Speaker 1>you'll get to hear some fun stuff. We'll play a
<v Speaker 1>little bit of that for you right now. They came
<v Speaker 1>back from the tour and they were exhausted. Eleven solid
<v Speaker 1>months on tour and.
<v Speaker 2>Eleven months killing it every night, hard work. They get back,
<v Speaker 2>the manager of the record company says, great job, you
<v Speaker 2>guys did awesome. You host three million dollars in a
<v Speaker 2>new record.
<v Speaker 1>What squeezebeak so Guinness Book World Record.
<v Speaker 2>They got one point five million dollars for a ninety
<v Speaker 2>minute set.
<v Speaker 1>They make more money than anybody has for that. But
<v Speaker 1>tensions are still high.
<v Speaker 2>Tensions are high. Even a million dollars an hour can't
<v Speaker 2>cure some of the tensions that are going on now.
<v Speaker 2>So during nineteen eighty three they begin working on a
<v Speaker 2>new album, YEP, to come out at the very end
<v Speaker 2>of nineteen eighty three YEP, and that album is called
<v Speaker 2>nineteen eighty four. This is a new Van Halen.
<v Speaker 1>The diehard Van Halen fans are getting mixed reviews. Some
<v Speaker 1>of them are sticking with them, some of them are like,
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's going on with these guys. You
<v Speaker 1>get those guys who think they sold out, and so
<v Speaker 1>then all of a sudden, if it's popular, they're not
<v Speaker 1>interested anymore. Yeah, I don't care about you those guys.
<v Speaker 2>Teacher comes out with the young van Halen boys running
<v Speaker 2>around the school terrorizing. Right, you've got miss fed his
<v Speaker 2>ed and miss spelled and miss science or whatever, and
<v Speaker 2>those spelled teachers running around.
<v Speaker 1>You've got his kind of awkwardly sighing mother. And then
<v Speaker 1>when Waldo speaks, he's got this unusually deep voice.
<v Speaker 2>Oh, mom, you know, are not like other guys. I'm
<v Speaker 2>nervous than my socks are too. You know who that
<v Speaker 2>voice is right now? That voice is Phil Hartman of
<v Speaker 2>saturn Aline.
<v Speaker 1>Oh Phil Hartman, God rest his soul. Their success is
<v Speaker 1>beyond what it has ever been in history. They are
<v Speaker 1>literally at the top of their.
<v Speaker 2>Game, and this is where it falls apart. So eight
<v Speaker 2>o'clock in the morning, they're supposed to be there to
<v Speaker 2>write and play music. Dave would show about eleven, start
<v Speaker 2>a fight and then leave.
<v Speaker 1>He, unbeknownst to them, goes and finds another group of
<v Speaker 1>guys to play with, produces an album, a four song album,
<v Speaker 1>which he says, Hey, you know, any album's only got
<v Speaker 1>four good songs on it. Anyway, I'm just cutting off
<v Speaker 1>the fat. As it turned out, there are only really
<v Speaker 1>two good songs on the album. This is the ego
<v Speaker 1>speaking right here. He does an interview with David Letterman
<v Speaker 1>in early eighty five talking about that album, and Dave
<v Speaker 1>is trying to find out what's going to happen with
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the band.
<v Speaker 3>I think now's a good time on New Year's to
<v Speaker 3>decide whether you're going to be a hot dog or
<v Speaker 3>a little weened.
<v Speaker 1>Fun you're doing solo work? Is the is the Does
<v Speaker 1>this mean that the band will soon be breaking up?
<v Speaker 3>No, No, that happens. You know, I still have very
<v Speaker 3>I still have very strong tribal instincts. And we'll be
<v Speaker 3>going into the studio like the middle of this month
<v Speaker 3>and start arguing again, and we'll come back out with
<v Speaker 3>an album sometime this year, hopefully.
<v Speaker 1>He has this full expectation that the band's going to
<v Speaker 1>stay together. But you can't be the guy who goes
<v Speaker 1>and trashes the meetings, the guy who rates somebody for
<v Speaker 1>going and doing work with other people, and then pull
<v Speaker 1>off this stunt and expect to remain in a band.
<v Speaker 3>Boom Budda boom Badida, Boombadida, boom Buddave is out.
<v Speaker 2>Dave's out in nineteen eighty five, right at the pinnacle
<v Speaker 2>of their professional career. Do van Hagar.
<v Speaker 1>The first time I heard it was on the movie
<v Speaker 1>Joe Dirt.
<v Speaker 3>No, sir man, I don't like that crap.
<v Speaker 1>I'm a rocker dude, through and through. Here's my favorite bands,
<v Speaker 1>AC DC, Van Halen, not Van Hagar.
