Van Halen fans have been debating for years – who’s better: David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar?
Both are great in their own way. David was with Van Halen at the beginning and during the height of the band’s popularity. Sammy stepped in and won many fans over with his great stage presence and his vocals on some of Van Halen’s biggest mainstream hits.
It’s been a back-and-forth relationship between the Van Halen brothers and their lead singers. But by 2012, everything was going quite swimmingly with DLR and Van Halen. A new album came out (A Different Kind Of Truth) and a successful tour followed.
Today we look back at Van Halen’s 2012 show at Mohegan Sun Arena.
