DLR. HE was the spirit of Van Halen. After that, they turned into a boring arena rock band IMO. I forgot how Diamond Dave quoted it, but it was something in the context of this. "Old Van Halen made you want to dance, enjoy life, and fuck, while Van Hagar makes you want to sleep, have a career, and be content in a relationship." It was something like that. Somebody help me out here, please.
