Dave and Sammy would make a good team hosting Bachelor in Paradise . Dave greets the contestants at the gate. He knows how to open a bottle of champagne. Sam meets the group and as a married man reads them the riot act, find love, or go home.
David Lee Roth was and always will be Van Halen period.I stopped listening or buying thier stuff when they signed Hagar.He has alot of moxie to sling all this bs.Does he think he hasn’t aged .David was phenomenal onstage back in his prime it was like watching an acrobat.Sammy just needs to realize he will always be second fiddle to David.
