    There are songs that I liked by each of them. I'd probably give the edge to Diamond Dave.

    I was very anti-Sammy early on...refused for listen to anything with him. However as I got older I learned to appreciate what he contributed to the band.

    However, Gary Cherone was unacceptable.

    Playing Van Halen is not too soon, asking dumb questions is too soon.

    Eddie was a bad ass guitar man. Just like Robert Montgomery Knight was a bad ass hoops coach.

    Roth was a showman, could barely sing

    Sammy was a great singer and they made a fortune with him

    its a tie

    I'll give it to Dave because the music had a harder edge.

    Roth = The true definition of "frontman". He had the perfect persona for their style.
