It seems a lot of you guys don"t "get" Roth. He's totally Zen. No facelift , karate body, a lover of life. A very unique persona. Sammy, not so much. Given their bodies of work, Roth is in the conversation for rock vocalists with great cultural impact. Sammy, again, not on the radar.

Sammy is cool in his own right, but yeah... he's probably more famous for his tequila than anything else, he was a B list rocker before Van Halen and reverted right back to form afterwards.

Those that would level the same charge at Roth should go back and take a look at his 80's album sales and tours... forget "gigolo", dude still brought the rock back then and God saw that it was good.

Sheehan and Vai together? yeah, it was great music and an incredible show.

This is everything Van Halen stopped being when he left... Vai was so awesome, he could make his guitar say your cities name in english.

Such a great show...

I saw VH With Roth twice. Women and Children tour at The Aragon in Chicago and Mean Streets Tour at the Amphitheatre. Caught solo Roth in 86' and a large High School gymnasium. The Stage took up 30 percent of the floor. And the show was skull peeling.If you were a rock musician/rock vocalist in the 80's, you couldn't escape the impact.

Wow... how great those early days shows must have been is hard to imagine.

Roth and Vai did a high school gym? that must've been cool beyond words in a setting so small... akin to the no seats arrangement I watched Metallica on their first headlining jaunt for MOP.

Up close and personal, skull peeling sounds about right for something like that.
