Quoted from zr11990:The Sammy VH was more refined.
Quoted from gonzo73:Van halen had 4 strait no 1 albums with Hagar, not one with DLR.
I stopped listening to Van halen around the 1984 album. They started to cater to the commercial market then. Just like Metallica changed after and Justice for all.
Respect for Slayer for never changing and maintaining their sound for their original fans.
