Van Halen: Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2007 part 2


Van Halen (1986-1996)

Sammy Hagar was a successful solo artist and was not sure at first if he wanted to join Van Halen. He did not know if he wanted to split the money four ways and was taken aback by their image. However, he soon agreed and began writing with Eddie.

As a whole, albums produced with Hagar outperformed the Roth-era works.

Then, a live album

Then, tensions emerged between Hagar and Van Halen. They broke apart while working on a song for the film, Twister, and over the Best Of album.
