_hi_water._ Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 DLR all the way. But if you are asking about the voice held up best over the years... probs Sammy. Dave can't sing anymore tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Sammy is the "better" singer. And for the record, I love Sammy's voice technical ability aside. He's just a great singer. But if we're talking who made more great music with VH, it's DLR all the way. Van Hagar was really a different band altogether. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Roth with VH, but Sammy solo by a mile. He's also the better live singer by a long shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordgalaxy Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) D L Rhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N19Pu1KM3b4 Not sure what that song has to do with the poll, but I'd take Graham Bonnet all day over either of the poll choices.

Texas King Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 DLR. Sammy is the better singer, but Roth is a better frontman in VH and a band made much better music with him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Sammy by a mile! Oh sorry, I thought it was about hair. For everything else it is Dave. Exhibit A - Sammy actually sings "Only time will tell if we`ll stand the test of time". Dave sings "We came here to entertain you, leaving here we aggravate you, don`t you know it means the same to me?"

zepphead Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 A lot of comments seem to be suggesting Hagar is technically the better singer .... yet vote DLR .... fine if we are voting for best singer in VH, rather than best singer ...... just sayin' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David is THE Van Halen frontman. I compare it to KISS. In my opinion, KISS is two bands, the class lineup of Ace, Gene, Paul & Peter. Likewise, Van Halen is, again in my opinion, Alex, David, Eddie & Michael. Both post classic lineup bands are fine, just missing that certain something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's little question that Dave was perfect for Van Halen. But Sammy is a much better singer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordgalaxy Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Dave Lee Roth. I have no ide who Gary Cherone is. I'm sure you've heard him singing as this song was all over the radio years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU1uCbY4BSc&ab_channel=jugandoconlucy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 DLR. Sammy is the better singer, but Roth is a better frontman in VH and a band made much better music with him. I saw Sammy a year ago. He STILL sounds good. That said, the first 6 DLR era VH albums are perfect. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the "main VH vocalist" to indicate simply that they were the primary singer with others providing back up. Nowhere else does it say anything about the "best". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
