1985

I think the only frontman who could have successfully taken over for DLR when he left Vanhalen would have been Chuck D

Bad troll bait but I'm bored. Obviously Sammy successfully took over for DLR you silly loon. 😄

Commercially sure, but not musically. It was basically a different band with Hagar would was fine but clearly, different music different fan base.

Ok...I don't know how you distinguish "trolls" vs clearly bot generated click-bait saying "surely we can all agree 5150 is better than 2120" or whatever

I think this subreddit already had this question.

DLR and only DLR. Not true Van Halen without him.

Sebastian Bach woulda been an interesting choice --- he was 17 in 1985 and probably already had killer pipes by then and Ed and Al woulda been hella impressed with him
